Yeah, it has a nice ride too. Smooth and quiet. We ended the lease of the 23 Nissan Rogue. I'll put the Weathertech mud flaps on in a while, we have the WT floor liners too, as does the 18' 3.6.

2 Car Garage - Thoughts on layout...
Max Capacity replied to KZJonny's topic in Garage and Tools - what are your plans?
Yeah, it seems some of the inspectors know what to look for. Also, having something in common helps too. I remember after having the Generac standby generator installed, when the inspector came, he reaffirmed the name of the contractor who did the wiring, who happened to be an electrician I met at work back in the early 1990's when they were building the new area I would soon be working in, I said yes, it was Steve R, he just opened the box and said good, I'm done. Yet I do recall, after renting a small backhoe to dig the 22" deep trench for the power cables, it took a long time for someone to come out and verify I did it deep enough, I seem to recall the girl in the office saying something about the town was having difficulties with hiring a reliable person at that time... that was back in 2014. I checked the dates on the photo's, I dug the trench May 24th had the conduit in June 2nd was able to have completed by Sept 13th. -
Hand cranking on stand to get oil flowing?
Max Capacity replied to nebula72's topic in Engine Rebuild Threads (Engines Only)
If your sure the engine will fire up and first start, that is the way to go. Mine started just like it does every time. If you think your going to have starting issues, pull the fuse and crank for about a minute or a little more. -
Rodent wire damage/ corrosion. No start.
Max Capacity replied to Beamercub's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
Starter prices are all over the place...I would not buy the cheapest. You get what you pay for. https://www.google.com/search?q=2015+Subaru+starter&rlz=1C1OKWM_enUS906US906&oq=2015+Subaru+starter&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIICAEQABgWGB4yCAgCEAAYFhgeMggIAxAAGBYYHjIICAQQABgWGB4yCAgFEAAYFhgeMggIBhAAGBYYHjIICAcQABgWGB4yCAgIEAAYFhgeMggICRAAGBYYHtIBCTg3OTJqMGoxNagCCLACAQ&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 -
Search for, The Parker Store near me. Parker is a manufacture of fittings. They will have everything you could need. Also I don't see Teflon tape on those threads. A "street elbow" in the branch side of that T will allow you to mount the OEM sensor in the upright position. The street elbow may stick out enough to give clearance with the hex flats on the OEM sensor. https://www.google.com/search?q=The+Parker+store+++street+elbow&sca_esv=0058b4b1712ac891&sxsrf=ACQVn08Yhugh4faItLE9K1Z5m4CJIE7dpg%3A1713638825697&source=hp&ei=qQ0kZtKoKK6LptQPlLaPiAw&iflsig=ANes7DEAAAAAZiQbuTIl9SBeHw7G8oJ8Hc2KjMHLpR-s&ved=0ahUKEwiSoeiLutGFAxWuhYkEHRTbA8EQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=The+Parker+store+++street+elbow&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6Ih9UaGUgUGFya2VyIHN0b3JlICAgc3RyZWV0IGVsYm93MgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAFI0U9QrQlYiktwAXgAkAEAmAGvAaABkBqqAQQ4LjIzuAEDyAEA-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&sclient=gws-wiz

Engine Refresh - Studs, gaskets, etc...
Max Capacity replied to KZJonny's topic in Engine Rebuild Threads (Engines Only)
Pre-fitting, the GS tmic, may help verify that everything lines up with the brackets on the block. -
Engine Refresh - Studs, gaskets, etc...
Max Capacity replied to KZJonny's topic in Engine Rebuild Threads (Engines Only)
Not sure I'd add ATF to the oil. It might give too much cleaning during that important time. Oh, prefit the tmic to the turbo, before putting the engine back in the car. You can thank me later. -
2018 Outback 3.6R
Max Capacity replied to Max Capacity's topic in Fifth Generation Subaru Outback (2015 - 2019 )
Figured I'd post a recent photo. The car has around 45,800 miles now. We'll be picking up the 24' Outback XT next Friday. It will sit in the other side of the garage. -
I have not yet driven a car with ASS. We pick up our 24' Outback XT the end of the month. But I have noticed a change in how long the traffic light's now day's here in CT. Seems like only one side goes at a time, instead of passing traffic going at the same time. As I sit there, just after getting there as the light turns red... and waiting all the time for three other traffic flows to get the green light, I can see where using less fuel and fewer emissions have a place in life now. But now that I have been retired for almost 4 years, I look at things different now, life has slowed down. Waste and hurting the environment has become a thing now. I'm typing this at 1PM on a beautiful day sitting on my deck in the sunshine. Retirement is better than everyone say's it is, plan for it.

Yeah, unless your racing, just a good set of brake parts are fine. I hope you check out the Brakes forum below. Lots of info there. Also think about flushing the old brake fluid out with a Motive Power bleeder or some other type of bleeder. You don't need special, I just use the qt bottles of DOT3 from Walmart. Your local auto parts store will have good pads and rotors, or rebuilt calipers.

Rodent wire damage/ corrosion. No start.
Max Capacity replied to Beamercub's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
That sounds like its part of the starter...? I have not seen a "brush holder assembly" You may try here, https://www.maniacelectricmotors.com/subaru.html Have you tried the junkyards site, car-part.com For the rodent issue, I recommend Tom Cat mouse blocks. I have been putting them around the property for many years to keep mice away. I throw one under the seat in my 86' Ford F150 that always sits outside. I have them on the floor in both sheds where my power equip sits and on the garage floor. Also have some in the basement by the hatchway door. I even have one by the corner of the house near one of the downspouts, where years ago I believe mice were climbing up under the corner siding and getting into the attic above the bedroom. I have also thrown blocks in that area in the attic. Also before the garage, both my Legacy's had blocks under the seats. You can find Tom Cat mouse blocks at many places, I found my local Lot's and More still has the bag of them for $7.00 which is the same price I paid for the last bag a few years ago. -
Uneven Brake Pad Wear.
Max Capacity replied to NoviceSubyOwner's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
If you look in the Brake & suspension forum you'll find a sticky, like Clints brake tips. I have had issues with calipers for years. NAPA honored the 12 month warranty years later, Seems the reman company had issues with a jig. -
Transmission hunting.
Max Capacity replied to bigburban's topic in Seventh Generation Legacy (2020 - )
We have a 23' Nissan Rogue, it also will feel like it shifts gears sometimes, but it's a CVT, yesterday, it didn't feel like it shifted at all. I tend to notice it when I pull out, to the right, onto a state road, Rt32, which is a slight uphill to accelerate, to get up to speed before traffic coming up the hill from my left. I made note yesterday, that with no traffic coming from the left the car just feel like a CVT. I guess it may depend on how much throttle you give it, along with other things the car senses. I'll add, the Rogue's engine is not as quiet as the 3.6R or the XT's when accelerating. -

Max Capacity replied to bigburban's topic in Seventh Generation Legacy (2020 - )
You know, I can say, I don't think we've ever gone to WOT in the 3.6R Outback. The car is just so pleasant to drive. I have given it a quick stab of the throttle at times to move out into traffic, but never needed WOT. Oh, yeah, the sales person called today, out 24 Outback XT is in. -

Max Capacity replied to bigburban's topic in Seventh Generation Legacy (2020 - )
I agree with loving the Eye Sight and ACC. I enjoy the fact that the 3.6R's CVT is smooth. I have not noticed any shifting that is noticeable. We don't drive it hard, but the car gets more highway miles the on city streets. We'll be picking up a 24' XT later in April. Keeping the 18' also. On the test drive, the XT felt great. -
Sway bar end links, are a known issue from years ago. Most describe it as a clunking noise going over cracks in the driveway.

Engine Refresh - Studs, gaskets, etc...
Max Capacity replied to KZJonny's topic in Engine Rebuild Threads (Engines Only)
My stock vf52 was fine for all the years on stock injectors. But as you know, with a custom vf52 you'll want more fuel. As they say, it's all in the tune. As Rumble said, that under 320AWHP is plenty for a reliable, fun DD. You know my numbers and trouble free miles I got, on stock fueling. -

Max Capacity replied to KZJonny's topic in Engine Rebuild Threads (Engines Only)
I may have missed it, but, I hope you have ARP head studs for this ? You don't need the injectors just yet, you can always upgrade them later if money is a concern. With bigger injectors, you'll want a bigger fuel pump too, unless you have already done that. -
2005 5MT > Spec B 6MT Swap Questions
Max Capacity replied to 20XXX's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
FWIW, I bolt the turbo on the up pipe, much easier to line things up. Use the same OEM bolt that hold the uppipe support bracket to engine. The dealers parts guys will have them. While it is out, replace the oil return hose and check the intake tube for a worn out flex joint.
