    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...

  7. Sourcing Parts & Accessories
    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.

  9. Exterior and Body
    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...

    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...
  14. Lighting and Electrical
    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...
  15. General Troubleshooting and Technical Help
    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...
  16. Transmission and Driveline
    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...

    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.
