I use Griots 3-1 Leather cleaner and conditioner on my leather seats. If they are dirty, I'll use a mild APC spray first.

Spark Plug Install Instructions
soloz2 replied to BoxerGT2.5's topic in Walkthroughs :: Basic Operation & Maintenance
Got a CEL with a Cylinder #2 misfire Friday night so I figured it was time to replace plugs and a coil pack (was planning to do this later in the summer anyway). The rear two coil packs are a PITA to get back on and you really have to feel around to get them properly seated. I did run into a problem on the rear passenger (cylinder #3). There just was not enough clearance to get the coil pack out. I tried, and I had someone else try. We rotated 180 degrees, we tried going up, down, and towards the front , as well as various angles in between. I ended up scratching up the valve cover pretty good from trying to wedge the coil pack out. I know the XT has a bit less clearance than the LGT, but it was stupid tight and I gave up after fighting it for a couple hours. I did want to add that I picked up a Gearwrench flex spark plug socket that worked for me with either 1 or 2 1" extensions. I know people love the Snap On one pictured here and it looks fantastic, but this was about 1/6 the price at $12. -
KILLER deal on Lower control arms
soloz2 replied to Harsho1's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Just got mine in. Looks like they may be bare aluminum. Has anyone painted them before installing them? They definitely feel lighter even without pulling the old ones. -

Does anyone have a spare set of these control arms they want to sell? -
Daniel Stern Lighting and Subaru headlight options
soloz2 replied to f1anatic's topic in Exterior/Aesthetic
Just because they have been working for you doesn't mean they are fine. I've used DDM kits, Morimoto kits and OEM. DDM is trash. Not to mention installing HID in halogen projectors or reflectors will throw light in all the places you don't want and blinds other drivers. -

Did you even read this thread? DDM HID kits are garbage. If you want HIDs then do a complete retrofit. Otherwise stick with the recommendations in this thread. -
The connector looks pretty similar. They are both square 8 pin. The main connector changed from 14 pin to 20 pin. Is that what you are referring to?
-
Thanks for the heads up. The seller told me it would work so I went ahead and ordered. The connector itself is the same through so I can remove the pins and move them around right?
-
Has anyone seen this adapter? I sent the seller a message to ask the pinout and plug dimensions. http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=121744022059&fromWatch=true Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

Just read through this thread. It seems that computer CD audio 4 pin cables are the best source of pins right now? Did anyone find the pins that can be used with the stock i85 connector?

Official MY2005 production numbers by model & color

There is one local to me. I tried to buy it, but the owner wouldn't budge on price and it was a bit over my max budget this time around. -

Wow, so I just found a silver 05 outback xt unlimited with a manual transmission. If these numbers are correct there were only 2 produced in North America and come Friday I will own one of two! -
lowering springs recommendations/suggestions please
soloz2 replied to teducci's topic in Suspension/Brakes
That's interesting. I have Koni's with eibach springs and while I like being able to adjust the struts, realistically I leave them 99% of the time and wish I had a bit softer ride. -

soloz2 replied to teducci's topic in Suspension/Brakes
They are discontinued I believe... I haven't seen them in stock anywhere for a fee months. You'll probably have to get some Epics. They are the same spring -

On the highway it's awesome! In my town the roads suck and it's a little rough. I haven't found the perfect spot for in town driving... At least in my town. -
