  1. this, I am still happy with the 2018 OEM goodyears on my legacy. quiet, long life, quiet. but, as soon as I got it, I got some cooper studded snows for winter. I live in the mountains of upstate NY. studs as they outlast the sticky ice tires on the clock. I would pick year round snows/ cross climate/ all weather things,....if I had to pick one year round tire. (but all seasons on rims / studded snow on rims,....is pretty nice as long as you got the place to store them)
  2. could be worse: could be donkey adds,....and you have a 3D monitor.
  3. JDM ecu "might" be different. I wonder if such are tuned to run on something like 91 octane vs. 87 octane. and JDMs did not have EGR as far as I know. whereas north american spec 2003-2004 EJ251s did. (don't know what year your shell is)
  4. outback sedan BE bodies had a preponderance of factory mounted / dealer installed huge wings. took mine off a long time ago, when it ate a rust hole in the passenger side of the lid,...patched perfectly for years with roofing flashing and some RTV:cool: but that huge wing had a extra tail light strip in it probably making for a different connector to the smooth lid cars.
  5. I have seen duck bills on BE bodies. don't know if they were for BL bodies though.
  6. those 1999-2000 spec year cars are weird on connections and definitions. so you might be out trying to find something that is known to work with it. (similar to the previous years that were also ODBC II). I am not sure if free rom-raider could make a good connection on that particular car either. (as much as I like using it on my later 2002 US spec cars)
  7. Ej259: a wild mix of old and new thought with unique parts. (north american spec 2005 EJ253 is pretty weird too) on the outback forum we have had some longer threads about the US spec 2004 Ej259 and what can be had in the similar (but different) US spec 2005 first year Ej253 engine. but as Ej259 are a one year clean states only animal found in legacy and legacy outback. probably should have your own thread. Clean air states = originally sold in Cal, OR, Washington, and PA, NY, and New England states. I live in a clean air state that has that engine, and pretty easy to find a rust bucket 2004 that has a good runner in it ready for a quality head gasket job if it has not already had one. here is a outback forum thread where I posted pics of the engines: https://www.subaruoutback.org/threads/what-is-the-story-with-this-04-outback.347002/ and here is another short thread with a schematic of the exhaust, (symmetrical, with unique o2 sensor choices) https://www.subaruoutback.org/threads/first-post-2004-outback-limited-project-on-the-cheap.329537/ more out there, but if searching please use google, as that forum is getting renovated and I don't know if the search functions are sorted out yet. (picked those 2 on a google image search)
  8. out of the US spec outback / legacy ? wagon catalogs of 2000-2004. picked off a 2003 outback wagon, no rust on the fasteners, a little patina rust on the black paint. so just pick a paint color of your choice before install. (or maybe some weird wrap ) $30, plus actual shipping. and I figured that would be about $25 in the USPS within the US as its long. (would fit in a 4x4x32" map tube,...so in the "oversized" group,...located in Upstate NY) also if someone wants a clear smoke rear dust deflector for a 2000-2004, I can go pick that,.. came off a 2003 outback wagon with dead 2.5 no oil in the engine sitting behind a friend's house, (so any other parts off a dark blue, dark grey interior, dark cloth seats with heat, all weather package, > please PM or post, as the thing is just sitting there until the scrap metal guys yank it) trying to add pics
  9. H6 VDC models in this year do not have a front wheel drive fuse. pull a ABS fuse to disable it easily. and the off button for the VDC should be under the radio head unit. (only turns off going below 37mph, and then it starts again on its own when you cross the threshold). but I would recommend you post a new thread on the outback board where there are more BE/BH VDC equipped cars, than on the other subaru boards. (edit: did not notice this thread was months old,...other things that make it react alignment, and one or more tires low on air) https://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/110-gen-2-2000-2004/
  10. don't know what forum that could be. but plenty speculation threads were raked into a new section on the outback board. (more to give them all a home, in advance of the nothing burger of the 2019, ...outside of the end of the 3.6 get them while you can). https://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/233-gen-6-2020-future/
  11. wrecked? did it have a listing on it for miles,...or a vin # that you could look up? I wonder how many good lookers will land in the pick and pulls / junk yards from a CVT that has gone terminal. and no one wanted to fix it,...like it already had a rebuilt title. = and therefore no quick cheap factory fix. such maybe a typical sight after July 31, 2018.
  12. to answer for Mr. Dog. (as the "@" mention function is not enabled on this forum ...yet,...such works pretty good on the outback forum though...used ALL the time). traildogck = the maker = seller. and on this forum,...listed as a "homebrew vendor" under his name. (a great description).
  13. the person (s) that invented K&N original oily filters needs to be tarred and feathered. such never actually get clean as you can't get 100% of the fine dust off it. and all they are is something to hurt your car. 20 years ago I watched a mechanic swapping a 318 out of a dodge truck. ...starved for air by a K&N.
  14. now you are going to have to take the ferry over the hudson to look at it yourself. and then the 2019 forester,....and the newly revealed rav4,.... bring a screw driver and pry off the backing plate on the bumper to reveal where the Ascent tow hitch goes, NYPD cops with personal boats probably just smile and say they were wondering the same thing and chastise the subaru reps for keeping it a "secret"
