SIDrive

Looked around and cannot find one. Mine is in bad shape. Looked on eBay and the online Subaru parts places.

Suddenly not getting good FM reception. Is there an antenna amplifier? I see the black wire coming out of the radio and if I unplug the connector it goes from bad to none.

Silverton, thank you. Found it about 10 mins after I posted. Left the filter and replaced the vacuum line and all is well.

Chasing a P0171 and found a broken / dry rotted vacuum hose right away. Going to replace it but noticed it has what looks like a check valve. If it is a check valve it is bad - air flows easily both ways. Can anyone verify the yellow circle in the attached image is a check valve? And if it is what is the correct orientation for flow. I do not see arrow on it. Thanks in advance.

Factory mid pipe has a hole and one of the mufflers sounds like it has a hole - can't see it. What is the current best economical replacement. I know these cars are getting old. Plan on keeping the car since it runs so good. Would like to get Stainless. Was looking at the X-Force catback. I read some complaints about chrome peeling. I thought it is 304 SS? Do not trust the ones on eBay. Invidia Q300 and Borla are too much money for what the car is used for. Looking to spend around $600.

I did try that a few times. But was not confident I tabulated all the teeth. Overall the job was not the most difficult job I've done on cars it just requires extra care on one part - putting the belt back on. It was the job I was the most anxious on when cranking over the first time for sure!

Friend of mine stopped over and double checked the marks. Put her back together and she fired right up. Thanks everyone!

Can someone please point me to the FSM.

Changing out the timing belt and noticed that no matter what I do the passenger side marks will not fully line up. Passenger top lines up but the passenger bottom and passenger upper to bottom pulleys are 1/2 tooth off. Crank and drivers side are spot on. Do not have the tensioner on yet. Am I over reacting and this is normal? Got 120,000 on the odometer. Way past time to change it. Factory belt and tensioner looked surprisingly good.

Replacing the timing belt and had the new belt almost on and the vice grip holding the two cams on the drivers side let loose and both cams spun. Am I ok with just realigning the marks? Or are there possibly multiple rotations for the alignment?

What is everybody using for a front end today? Looking at Nova Launcher.

Adding an amplifier to my stock radio using a Audio Control DQ-61. No matter what I try the second the ignition is turned on with the radio off the DQ-61 turns on. Tried a Scosche LOC I had laying around. Exact same thing. I've used this type of LOC before and never had an issue. Is there something special about the speaker output on the Legacy radios?

Are these exact buttons available? Spent time looking for them and I cannot find a part number for them.

Looking to put an audio signal processor in the glove box. Will need to cut up the insert to do it. Anybody have one?

Must have had some nasty chemicals on my hands at some point because the OFF button on the HVAC controls is trashed. Can just the buttons be ordered? Are they easy to change?
