I think you're going to need an uprated alternator no matter what electric power steering system you go with.

Same same, but the drives have been too far south for me to make it

Continental does recommend using manufacturer tire pressure specs. I was also assuming that I was going to hate the higher pressures but as I said, it is definitely better.

I've always been an advocate for running what it says on the placard, manufacturer knows best right?, the subaru dealership I used to work at was pretty hard headed about doing 35psi all around no matter what. Nothing like setting your placard pressures and then the customer buys a rotation so you need to adjust again, 35 did make that easier. So I was recently given some information that kinda turned that all upside down. Someone handed knowledge down to me, that was handed down to them... ideal tire pressure is 80% of max psi listed on the sidewall. I absolutely hated the way my '17 L3.6R rode running placard pressure, 33F32R. When given this new information I set my tire pressures accordingly, 51psi max on my continentals, 80% of that is ~41psi so that's what I've been running for two or three months now. The car rides exponentially better and the TPMS isn't bothered by it. Just as an aside, I hated the way the car rode with its original Eagle LS-2's at placard pressure, and that didn't change with the continentals so I just assumed it was the way the car was. Thoughts, opinions?

oh yeah buddy, that tool is magic for inner tie rods.

I'm a potential for the cruise!

your reservoir should be at the full mark at operating temperature and will be down by the low mark when it cools down.

It would be best to use the factory coolant, but it's your car and your money, OE parts are always higher quality and will perform better and last longer. I will say Subaru green is a DARK forest green, whereas aftermarket green is brighter; only said anecdotally as your car requires blue.

It fits the keyfob if you're keyless and don't have anything attached to it. Otherwise a bunch of junk accumulates there for some reason...

What I would like to see is a super slow mo camera in a combustion chamber with these, and other, spark plugs to see how it actually differs. As Moleman says, a change in weather will change perceivable performance. If you have dyno access, that would also be good. The difference between science and fucking around is writing down what you find and comparing results.

It's a pretty poor excuse of a side gap if anything: https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/does-side-gapping-spark-plugs-work/

Did you possibly damage it when you took the bumper off?

I'm curious how you blew it up though, I listen to mine at/or near max volume a lot, gained some interior piece rattles but the speakers are still fine. i only have my bass eq on +2 though, so maybe you have yours higher?

since the pedals are swapped maybe they broke the clutch safety switch and rigged it, hard to say without having the car and performing diagnostics.

Another thing turning me off from them is that Nitrode does not have a web presence except for Amazon and other online retailers. This guy didn't like them: https://www.binderplanet.com/forums/index.php?threads/warning-pilot-automotive-nitrode-spark-plugs-sp-np28.142906/

Good God I'm not replacing my spark plugs every five thousand miles for a few horsepower. I like my time and money too much for that. I realize you got them for free but I wouldn't.

If the issue presents with the hazards as well, the turn signal runs through the hazard switch, I'd put money on that aftermarket relay being the issue.

2005 with a CVT? Excuse me? Does not compute buddy. If the car was originally an automatic and is now a manual it would make sense that the cruise control doesn't work.

There is a large financial risk if your experimental spark plug fails and grenades the motor, especially in a boosted application. 2-3% (on my ez36) gains giving the benefit of the doubt of 6hp and 8ftlbs of torque aren't worth it in my book. Current ignition systems are so overly powerful that any kind of capacitance isn't necessary and adds a fail point. But by all means though, report back after you've run them for 30,000 miles. I am curious what you learn.

That looks good!

snake oil. buy NGK or Denso.

alldata calls for 8 hours to replace clutch and flywheel, but as these cars get older and depending on what part of the country you live in, it can and will be more.

If you absolutely need one the junkyard is the best bet. Otherwise just let it ride, or secure it with a zip tie. Enough heat cycles and years they just break no matter what you do.
