It's time for a brake job and I was thinking it would be nice to have some
cross drilled rotors. Has anyone had any experience with SR Performance
rotors (cross drilled) and PBR Metal Master Pads purchased through Etop out
of Canada? The whole setup for 4 wheels come in at about ...

I have a 1994 Subaru Impreza.
It runs just fine except when I go uphill.
It seems to misfire ?
Any suggestions ?

I have a 1996 Legacy AWD wagon.  I hear a CV joint clunking when we're
accelerating and turning towards the right.  I'm having trouble
deciding exactly which CV joint is responsible.  Given the direction
we're turning when we hear the noise, which side is it likely to be.

Semi backs into my wife's beloved "IMP" while the Outback was parked.
Our insurer wants to total it at $6300.
Trucker's insurance company wants to repair it.
Left rear 1/4 panel on one side crunched badly.

My '03 Forester has 55k on the clock.
It has not been abused.
I hear little highpitch noises; - they
seem to be happening intermittently.

Can you someone tell me which Subie online
parts supplier has the best prices & service?

Watching Motor Week on PBS talk about what is needed to use E 85 gas,
and all that is in the new cars, has me wondering if I will ever learn
it all? Talking to a friend who just replaced his O2 sensor that cost
him 160$, and a special tool to replace it, instead of paying 1600, or

Just read a post on Car & Driver's forum about a guy with a 07' WRX
who complained about the shifting like I do. He said and I read that
GL 5 gear oil will corrode and shorten the life of syncros if they are
brass or bronze. I had read it will cut it in half, and only used if

In the process of registering a car in Maryland and the state
inspection  came back less than stellar.
In particular, there are 2 questions I was hoping the forum might have
some thoughts on....

My Impreza hates 30 mph. With foot barely on accel. pedal, on level or
downhill, bucks like a bronco. Dealer sez: "Normal for drivetrain." I ask,
"anybody else have this problem" and Dealer sez: "Nope." So how can it be
normal? anybody else? My first Subaru. TIA.

Hello all..
The front outer left CV boot is torn on my 98 outback.  Anything I should be
aware of before tacking this job?  I've done considerable work on my own on
various cars, but this will be my first attempt at this type of repair.

Love my (relatively) new Impreza wagon - 16,000.
Car has hated 30 mph since I bought it. Dealer said, "It will work itself
out."
It hasn't.

Have a 2003 3.0  Outback.
Noticed that the replaceable Oil Drain Plug crush washer has a flat
side and a rounded side.
Which side goes up against the Oil Pan???

My Impreza wagon (16K miles) hates 30 mph. With foot barely on acc. pedal on
level or downhill it bucks like a bronco.
Dealer says: "Normal." I asked, "anybody else have this problem for you."
Dealer says: "Nope."
