Any LGTs have a hard time in the snow??..
I was parking in spots that had SUVs scared..

Long term review after 3 months...it still works....end..
-
Not worth it in IMOH....Most of the 106K on my car has been spent running above stock power levels. The original belt was a little shiny on the smooth side but all the teeth where intact and in excellent condition. And yes my car does see a couple of pulls every now and then to 6Krpms.

Forgive my intrusion upon this thread, my question is specifically related to the belt itself. It is my understanding that the STi belt is pretty top notch. Is this a kevlar belt? Since this is such a vital part of the motor and I plan on keeping the car for a long time, I want to get a damn good replacement belt.
Contact Fred Beans Suby. I heard more than once ppl mention that the STI and our belt carries the same part number.
Confirmed....same part number..

In my previous car (Mazda MX6), it was a similar setup with a hydraulic tensioner. In that car, the tensioner was known to fail soon after the first belt replacement, so it was recommended to replace it while in there. Does this tensioner have similar concerns? Granted, many of us haven't gotten that far in mileage yet, but I wonder if it just makes sense to replace it anyway, while you're in there (like the water pump).
Of course, this procedure seems far easier than the Mazda's (due to a transverse motor and FWD)... so it may not be too bad to get back in there if needed.
You have to remove the auto tensioner in the process. Most people will not have the proper tool to compress it, therefore just replace it and be done.

BTW....after 106K miles the belt looked fine. My only concern was the water pump. The area around it was a little damp with antifreeze before removal.

Thx guys for putting this up. Just did mines today. Only thing to add is make sure you get a long enough chain wrench and use a vise grip between the sprockets to keep the cams in place before and after timing belt removal. I could have saved 2 hours...

Spotted a bunch of kids doing burnouts in a parking lot close to the White Plains exit off the Bruckner this morning while driving to work... I luv the holidays with all the drunk drivers and accidents...

Spotted yesterday...In the evening around 7 pm I saw a Silver OBXT with HIDs on Flatbush Ave. Then around 7:30 pm spotted a Spec B with CT plates on Canal St heading for the Tunnel.

Hey Sebastian...Do you have anything like this for a 2004 Ford Focus SE? My gf is jealous now..
-
Everyone on the fence...Jump on this thing. I installed mines today in 1.5 hrs with breaks in between. This thing works sweet. I just wish the switch was a little smaller but I could always buy a new one. Thx for a great product Sebastian..
-
Looking forward to getting mines...Now I just have to find my Ungar soldering iron

^ You should skip the meet tomorrow and come with me to get some ink. You could get the first Wayne Subaru tramp stamp!:lol::lol:
Thought I should flame people equally this week, lol.
I might have been tripping (I was up past 2 last night) but I swear I passed a black 2010 LGT heading into Pearl River from Montvale on Pearl St (304) at about 10 am this morning. I was heading towards Montvale. Only even recognized it because of the hood scoop.
Could be..Did it have NJ plates.? Could be a dealer rep.
-
part number for new retaining clips?
This is a must in most cases. I had the dealer replace mine and they reused the old clip. Lets just say I had the car on a flatbed 1 week later.

Spotted an 08 LGT silver or gray on the Whitestone Bridge going north. I tailed you for a bit in my 05 OBP LGT.
