  1. Subaru OEM quarters cost around 700+ unpainted.
  2. So, here's the topic I've been dreading. Subaru has never been good at rustproofing the quarter panels (not as bad as Chrysler though ) my dog leg is beginning to rot on my 05 GT Wagon, it appears that i'm one of the first to have this happen, and chances are you'll have this happen too in the future if you own a Legacy Wagon. What should I do to repair this? I'm capable of welding in a quarter panel myself, the problem is, I don't need an ENTIRE quarter panel, and that's all that I can find. I just need the dog leg with a few inches into the wheel arch due to how far back the rust tracks internally. There has to be something I can do about this, I want to stop the rot before it advances more and consumes important structural components. If anyone has tackled this at all please post your advice here, I'll love you forever if you do.
  3. Excellent walk through! I'm very pleased that you purchased the A118. You'll enjoy it, it's a great camera.
  4. Sugru is what's keeping my 4 year old Macbook Pro charger from falling apart.
  5. "Will changing the PSI in my tires void my warranty?"
  6. So, a wagon running Koni Yellows with Swift Wagon springs, which I believe is a mild 1.2 inch or so drop. would I have to roll my fenders to fit a 18x8" +45 with a 235/40 -18 tire? What about 225/40 - 18? The only reason is I have rot starting to form on my rear dogleg, and I know if I roll my rear quarter it's going to crack like hell. I would be fine to roll the fronts, but I seem to have difficulty figuring if this would fit or not.
  7. Are you going to be installing a new shortblock along with that? I am curious how much of an increase over stock that combined upgrade will be. Let us know when you finish the install.
  8. I have an idea. For us who have deleted our catted up pipes and have installed catless pipes, you have to do a resistor mod for the EGT sensor (if your up pipe doesn't have an EGT bung), which leaves you having to tape up the connector to keep water out, or blast it full of silicone. It would be great if we had something that could clip into the existing open connection to look factory (for CA emission testing) and keep the water out? Just a thought.
  9. Does this trick only work with HID's, and does it screw up the light cutoff like it looks like it would?
  10. If only I had spare time! I pass through there a few times a year, I'm headed down to London, going to visit family for Thanksgiving... and probably visit some nice roads while i'm at it. (Weather permitting )
  11. I picked up some gaskets today from the stealership as well. I plan on installing them sooner or later when I come back from Kentucky. I'll let everyone know as well. I don't know why these wouldn't fit, in fact I'll be surprised if they don't!
  12. It appears I must make a blood sacrifice every time I work on this car. I guess that's just what makes a Subaru a Subaru. (Or maybe I should just learn to wear gloves.)
  13. Has anyone used gasket part number 14035AA492 on their 05-06 LGT? I'm experiencing a rough idle and RPM drops until my engine is warm, and was looking to replace these gaskets. When I search this part number it looks like these fit on all 4th gen GT's, but several posts here tell me that they don't.
  14. Any way we could get a picture of the Garmin gauge pod in action?
