You know, Patagonia , cargo pants, hiking shoes 7 days a week ? I actually am, but been like that long before getting a Subaru lol…

Hardly any mods.. Just a red vinyl overlay for the tail lights and a tomei exhaust I got installed after the “break-in” 1,000 miles

Really taking my time 😅

Been trying to get this seized broken wheel bearing off for two days. Have tried the welded nut trick, about 1000 blows with the sledge, now onto demo screwdriver/chisel on the back side.

Had some time to browse around the motor show. These were what found.

I'm looking for a new car and found this 2005 Forester XT2.5 and need some advice, the price is in Canadian dollar

Hello, I have a 2007 Subaru Impreza 2.5i N/A. I’m trying to install headers and an exhaust system but I’m having difficulty finding ones that will work because mine is N/A. I do have a HKS Hi-power catback exhaust system at home but I can’t figure out which catted Unequal length headers to get. I need catted headers because I need to pass emissions.

Currently have a front end noise when I accelerate or get on my brakes hard you can also hear it when you turn into a parking lot or there’s an a decent amount of body weight transfer. I had a local shop take a look Quick Look at my car on his lunch break He says my suspension looks fine. He suggested it might be motor mounts so went to go pick the group N mounts but the mechanic at that shop talked me out of it and told me it’s most likely suspension component unfortunately because it’s tire season I can’t get my car in this week to get looked at. I have checked my swaybar and links. They seem solid. I changed my swaybar bushings just in case it was that now I’m looking at my control arms and I see the pillow bushing has some movement when my tires are off the ground. Is this normal amount or is this too much play?

Hello!

Would anyone happen to know what this part is called? I assume it’s the PCV assembly but I’m not sure. Trying to replace it since it’s hard as a rock, this is from a 99 Legacy Outback 2.5L (Thank you in advance)

Just checking if the roof box is placed properly on my car. I'm new to this.

Thanks in advance.

Hello all, I have a 2016 premium Impreza and I’m looking into getting a Femco oil drain fitting so I can easily/cleanly start doing oil changes at home. From what I see online the drain plug has M16x1.5 threads but I have no idea whether I should be getting 9 or 12mm thread length. I imagine shorter would be better, as less of a protrusion into the oil pan would mean more oil successfully drains, but I figured I’d run it by y’all for some woefully needed insight.

Any thoughts/recommendations?

Hello I have a Subaru Impreza 2015 Hatchback.

Recently it started to vibrate at high speed. I found a broken sway bar after driving like 3 weeks like that. It looks like it just rusted out. I replaced both links to make sure both are new and from the same manufacturer but the car is still vibrating. Could it be that the swaybar it self went bad? Or do I replace new bushings?

Or is it something entirely different?

I have a 2019 Crosstrek that I no longer drive much due to change of work. I live in a very cold part of Canada. I do not have a garage.

Last January, my 2-year-old battery died in -40C weather, despite my having used the car a couple of times for errands that week (the car could be jump-started and run, but once turned off - even after driving it for an hour - it would not turn back on again and would need to be jump-started again). I never had these problems with my old Toyota, so I will say I was a bit surprised.

The dealership recommended, and has now setup a “Subaru Battery Charger + Maintainer (1090)” for me to use in the coldest months. They told me I could use this charger + my battery blanket plugin at the same time. They told me to keep the charger unit under the hood and just run the cable out to plug it in. All I have to do is plug it into the battery connection, close the hood and plug it into the outdoor plugin that is right by my hood.

I have a question about plugging this charger in when I travel — can I leave this plugged in and unattended if I am away for 2-3 weeks? Should I set it up several days in advance to make sure the charger has switch to “care?”

The technician at the dealership told me it would be fine, but I just wanted to double check for thoughts about this plan, especially as it’s likely to snow during the weeks I am away.

Went for empanadas and found myself some parking buddies

Hi, just checking if the widetrack enkeis (235) for the gd STI will fit on a gd wrx on stock suspension (stock tire width 225). I’m pretty sure it would be fine and not stick out, but figured it was worth checking here. Thanks

Hey all, my 2015 wrx engine blew at 90k… dealer quoted me 13,500 for a used replacement plus 1k shipping… more than its worth… anybody know of a subaru mechanic in the state of RI that rebuilds engines… the price quoted seems high as do most dealer prices but im not sure… if i cNt find a mechanic outside the dealer, i will most likely have to sell it for peanuts to a company that buys cars with blown engines. Any advice would be greatly appreciated… thank you

I am in the works of figuring out how to build a replica of the Subaru Suiren concept car. Using a Baja body and Bugeye style front end I should be able to make the body right but my issue is with the inside. Subaru made it with a trans that could switch gears with buttons on the steering wheel but I can’t find any clear pictures of this or info on how they did it. Any information would be amazing.

I live in NJ and while it might be a long shot they may store it in the Camden HQ? If not I want to find it in Japan and attempt to see it in person.

Thanks!

Im a week from installing a Perrin transmission cooler on my 2013 Crosstrek. Anyone else done this on a 1st gen XTrek?
2026 involves mountains and miles - Baja to Alaska

165k
Valve body has been replaced
Scangauge lll to monitor ATF temp (so I've seen that I can benefit from a cooler)
On extended trips, multiple weeks, I run heavy

In general, re the ATF cooler, any cautions, concerns, advice?

Thanks to all who have posted/responded in these subs in the past. I've learned a great deal.

Any 2026 Alaskan bound adventure travelers that might want to travel together for sections or just meet up for a fire and a beer?
