I am having trouble removing the calipers. I have done a mercedes job like
this before and figured I would be able to do my mom's car. But I can't
locate the second bolt that holds the calipers to the hub. I found one (at
9 o'clock on the passenger side) and then there is another ...

I have a 91 Legacy L 4wd.  I'm smelling gas with a full tank but once under
3/4 tank it goes away, sounds like a leak to me.  From the looks of it I'll
have to drop the whole rear end in order to get at the tank, any other
suggestions?

Twice in as many weeks my friends have had the misfortune of need a jump
start.  I offered, as I always carry cables, but my new car won't seem to do
it.  (YES, I know how to hook up the cables).  Even with my engine running
and revved to around 4k RPM I still cannot jump anyone ...

well I put off having it done/doing it and now I've parked my 91 Legacy awd
with bad cv joints.
I'd change them myself but am concerned about the "special tools" referred
to.

Is there an illustration on the web showing all the places I can put a jack
and jack stand under a WRX?
I need to rotate my wheels.

My wife has a 1999 Legacy Wagon, 4-cyl. with 80K. When it has been
driven at least 15 minutes, within a period of no more than a half
second, the speedometer and tachometer needles will drop to about half
and return to their original setting, the AT TEMP light will come on

Question for anyone who knows about the automatic transmission on this
car. My previous Subaru was a manual and I knew it was a 50/50 split.
I've read the auto is usually 90/10. However, I've also read that at
lower speeds when the auto is in 1st or 2nd gears it's actually 50/50

Loaded! In Montana. 127,000 miles. Absolutely ) dents and no door dings of
any kind...great paint. White over silver/gray. Great shiny factory
wheels...not all pitted up. Good tires. Runs and drives great and doesn't
use an excessive amount of oil.

If anybody is still following this post I just wanted to let you know
that, after picking up my car from Subaru car service shop (Don
Docksteader Motors Ltd, Vancouver, BC, Canada) I believe my engine does
not ping/detonate any more. I want to try few more test drives before

just bought a used 2002 wrx.  its white w/ less than 30k miles on it.  Can't
get the smile off my face!

Anyone out there tried one?
Is it just another example of GM trying to take one car, and make it
into 47 different brands?  Does it take the best of Saab and meld it
with the best of the Impreza?  Or is it just a kludge?

How can I tell if mine is going out?  I had my oil changed yesterday and
the guy said when he started my car he said he heard a noise that sounded
like the compressor was going out.  If I need one, what would the cost be?
Do I have to get a new one, or can a rebuilt one be found?  ...

After looking at chains, and realizing they just arent going to be the
best option for me being in Alaska, I was hoping the group could
recommend some winter tires.  Costco has Michelin ICE-X ($100), the
local tire place here has studded Hanook 404's, ($120) and I havent been

During the weekend I had the fortune of being on a remote quite straight
country road and I thought I would see test the performance of my recently
purched 96 GTB with little effort it passed the 180km/h mark and kept
going - which was a little strange as the speedo only goes up ...

Looking for recommendations on tyres for my Outback. It goes off bitumen
quite a bit so something with strong sidewalls etc is in order.
I've had Pirelli P6000 on all four wheels since purchase this time last
year, they've lasted 30,000 km.
