Hey, all.
I have about 40,000 km on my 02 WRX. I use the turbo fairly rarely, and
I always wind it down after each drive by keeping the car under 3000

Francisco.  I need to get my 90k service done.
thanks in advance.

I have a new Tribeca with a little over 6000 miles.  The problem is the

Hey, I have a 2004 WRX that has around 40000 miles on it.  When the car

I am about to buy an Outback wagon.  They all come with 17 inch alloys
and55 series tires.   I suspect I would get a smoother/quieter ride over
bumps if I change the tires and wheels to 65 or 70 series and 16 or 15
inch diameter.  Has anyone else done this? (In case it matters, I ...

Just bought a 96 outback. I talked to a Mechanic about the problem with
leaks in the 2.5 and he told me that the recall conditioner should help
fix an external leak. Well, I seems I have a little leak. I added the

transmission which sporadically has issues shifting gears. These two
issues occurred at exactly the same time, so I assumed they were
