There's a gas smell coming in the car from outside, only when a window is open while i'm driving. Doesn't matter if all the windows are wide open or if only the drivers window is open a couple of inches, it still slowly accumulates. During the winter months when i was driving with the windows...

I’m sure everyone loves rare parts, but digging too deep and dropping a pretty penny is even more fun imo. Everyone should drop their favorite score or what rare piece you’re looking for! i just got these tail lights and i can’t wait to install them! Also hoping to score a garnish one day.

would the sti fog covers fit on a typical sf bumper?

Will an 03 forester hatch fit on a 98-02 forester? I got a new bumper but the license plate area is meant for German plates so it's long and skinny, compared to the US plate size. So I was wondering if the hatch will fit so I can put my plate on the hatch or I'd have to figure out a different...

Hi everyone! I recently bought my first Forester, and I'm absolutely loving it - But now that i have driven it for a couple of months, I'm starting wanting more power (As you do). So I was hoping to get some help from you guys, getting past 300hp. I've already bought a used Impreza 3' turboback...

Can anyone good with car electrics verify if I correctly isolated the issue down to the switch? When I pull the "mist" lever the wipers wipe once but no fluid comes out. The wiper fluid comes out just fine when I push the regular wiper button on the side of that lever, and it used to work.. I...

Hey guys, just picked up one of these H7110AS011 Keyless Entry units from ebay, (like this: Subaru Keyless Entry Control Unit H7110AS011 Module oem ECU | eBay) only to find out that it doesn't include the harness. I can't find this stinking thing anywhere, if anyone knows of one I'd love to...

I am such an idiot.... I recently changed out my shifter linkage bushings on my SF5. Everything was great until tonight, when with a sudden thud I was completely unable to get into any gears except for first. Only swapped out the shifter bushings last week, and sure enough I must have forgotten...

Hey guys, installing the legendary compass pack & I need to extend the "speed sensing" wire a bit so i was hoping to pick up some crimps & wire of the exact same stuff to keep things uniform. Here's a pic of the wire I'm talking about, it's not the exact wire but all of these seem to be the same...

Hey guys, I have a bunch of electronic stuff to install on my 99 SF5 and I figure while I'm doing this I might as well upgrade the grounding system, which I can tell isn't the best from the way the headlights dim when electronics are used. I've seen a lot of threads here but nobody is really...

Hello, I'd like to start off by saying I'm an 18 y/o college student with hand tools and no fancy tools, I do all the work by myself because I have to. So before you say take it to a dealership, please understand I may not be able to, I'm broke as hell. Skip to (***) for the problem. Last...

This is probably a dumb question but will the passenger side (left side) CV axle be the same as the driver side of a USDM model? Or will it be flipped? I noticed while changing my oil that the inner CV boot is torn, so I figured I'd replace the whole axle instead of dealing with re-packing a...

First off, I've owned at leas 8 Subaru's now, and this will be my first build journal! Bought the car for $2500, with roughly 139k on it. It's a 2002 Subaru Forester S Premium with winter package! (heated seats, heated mirrors, big A$$ sun roof, and rear LSD:cool:). Current mod list; KYB GR-2...

Hey guys, super excited to finally be a Subaru owner! Found a recently imported 01' SF5 w/ 24 000 kms...! Thought it was too good to be true but the car is in fantastic shape. The engine/other mechanical components are in great shape and the interior is immaculate! The exterior paint isn't the...
