Replied!

Eibach Pro-Kit 7722.140 - $100 shipped, firm. SOLD Held on to these for way too long after selling car. Jan 1, 2023 I'll just finally take the loss and trash it, but I'd really rather see these go to someone who'll use them. All parts were never installed as I sold the car before I had the opportunity. Doubtful anyone needs these, but I also have: Subaru "Rear" Oxy Sensor 22690aa91a - $40 shipped Subaru OCV - 10921aa140 - $50 (set of 2) shipped I accept PayPal (Preferred), Zelle, cash for local pickup. or cash for local pickup sales. Buyer pays PayPal 3% fee.

Yes sir, I did. That's how I always check for part numbers since it usually gives you revised parts as well. My wife (former Subie sales) has a word in with the local regional rep to see if there's any recourse as even dealers couldn't figure out why my parts didn't match what it should have.

Is this as common as the older models? (almost seems to be routine maintenance ) I've recently found out that my car is kind of a mutant when it comes to parts. Being one of the first run '10s, it seems Subaru just threw whatever they had leftover from other cars into it. Have been experiencing a P0014 code for the last few months. Did a little recon with the AP and the corresponding OCV is definitely failing. Degree monitor shows it fine one second and then off by 10-20deg the next (as compared to it's opposed counterpart). From there it may just sit at 0 altogether. I figured it was an easy enough part to obtain so went to the trusty old Subaru parts site and found what I needed. Ordered at half cost on Amazon and took it to the shop. They called and said it was the wrong part. This is the second shop to look at it (my local dealership told me the same thing, but pointed me to a completely incorrect thing). Long story, shortened; after some recon and research, the OCV's on my car are from a 2009 model year Tribeca. Subaru parts references 10921AA140 as the correct unit, but what's in the car is...not. Are mishaps like this common? I haven't seen too many threads on OCV failure as a whole for turbo's so wondering if by '11, the issue was resolved with the "current" part number. Any thoughts?

Well, the OEM fork lasted about 65k which just about lines up with the lifespan of an aftermarket clutch system. It cost me 30 bucks to replace (MSRP is like 40 on the Subie parts site). I see no reason to drop 6x that on a part that should have been over-engineered from the factory. If this was a problem that plagued my circa 90's Stealth, sure. But not a 2010 family hauler.

I had no squeaks. The failure was sudden. I got home, parked the car, went in the house to get something, came back out, put foot on clutch and felt my leg do far more work than it did before. I'm on Exedy stage 1 too...

A few weeks back my clutch suddenly got super heavy. After a quick bit of research, I saw similar pictures on the internet referencing WRX's, BRZ's, etc. I figured, "no way this can really happen, right?". I figured maybe the pressure plate failed in a weird way. It's just not a problem I've ever experienced in my 30+ years of driving manual transmission vehicles. Boy was I wrong. The worse part is I had no choice but to drive it that way until such a time as I could get it to my mechanic (Don't judge, I have a toddler and my wife and I both work full time so time is a premium). The fork wore a bit of a divet into the case...(pic 2). Interestingly enough, I've only seen one or two threads on here about fork failures, but plenty of hits via the Googs. Man, remember when Japanese mfg's over-engineered parts on even their pedestrian cars?

Changing my Kia Stinger GT vote... Genesis G70 will definitely look sexier IMO Edit: poop, MT only on the 2.0t engine. But seeing it in motion as it's been out for quite a while overseas...me likey.

Absolutely this. Getting old is a mofo. But it comes with the territory of just wanting to enjoy a car instead of constantly fixing a heavily modded car.

If only they had added all that unnecessary beef with the Genesis Coupe, Hyundai would have had a Korean Supra on their hands... Instead they add all that to an automatic sport family sedan. WAT.

Hows the Kool-Aid in FantasyLand?

Q50 is a solid choice from a "sexy semi-luxury" standpoint. As a former Nissan owner though, I'm leery of its reliability. Genuinely don't think I'd say no to one though LOL

New Camry actually looks tits on the road. (I see a ton of things being tested on my commute) Anything worth driving is gonna be north of 30k me thinks. New Camry XSE starts at 32 according to Toyotas site. Kia Stinger GT, 32-50 depending on trim. Fusion Sport, 33ish. And that's not even delving into the Euro market. Unless you mean small, Chevy Cruise-class 4 doors...

So when your Subie kicks the bucket, what will you drive next? #ShamelessAttemptToGetBackOnTopic

Honestly, after going back and reading this again, I think you guys aren't really "disagreeing" as much as you think you are. Subaru interiors were crap. Period. They sucked when you compare what you were getting for the money compared to other brands. (I mean, my tan interior on my GT gets stained by water...clean, clear, WATER.) They sacrificed interior "quality" for a long time to offset the costs of improving safety and AWD on everything. Fulton may not have included safety in his initial statement, but I think you just add that to the list. It's not mutually exclusive and part of the overall reason "non-turbo" buyers choose Subaru. I know about Subaru demographics because of my wife having worked in Subaru sales for quite a while. FL's statement about their capability of affording nicer cars is definitely correct, but doesn't really negate Fulton's statement. Actually, it adds to it. The well-to-do non-Eurosnob yuppies that buy Subaru's brand new (no offense to any WTDNEY's here...good for you) by writing checks outright buy them because they are AWD, safe, and hold value. They don't care about interior or exterior styling too much (if at all...) and they perceive them as reliable. They don't want to drive a Camry because it's not AWD and everyone drives one, but they don't care enough to buy anything "flashy". The people who don't buy the few performance Subaru's are a very niche group of people. Plain and simple.
