And so it continues... Just called Advance before I drive there. Sure enough, the driver never showed up for work last night, so the pan should be there after 12:30 today.

I will call before I drive over.

They have the sealant and a Felpro gasket.

Question for those that know, did you just use the sealant or did you use both gasket and sealant ?

Worried about messing up sealant trying to wiggle the pan on the block.

Max, what is the FelPro gasket for?  Oil pan is sealed using the gray sealant.

Can vouch for Dale at B4R. Bought parts off him while I was still in SoCal. Now that I've relocated to UpState SoCar, I'll be visiting him this spring.

All 07+ 3.0Rs (Legacy and Outback) also have SI drive

Nice!

I bought my new, factory-ordered, 05 LGT limited wagon from the owner at Irvine Subaru. She was offering as many 05 LGTs as we wanted, at her invoice minus her holdback. So 4% less than invoice, all we paid was shipping. Like your experience, today is a far cry from those days.

Good luck with your new ride.

Moved to Cars for Sale.

I suggest to open a new thread for MT5/MT6 NON-STI gearboxes.

This thread is really informative, but really lengthy as well.

Would serve people better if not to confuse glass-6MTs with STI-related ones.

 

 

What you're really talking about is the difference between the TY856 series (STI solid case 6MT transmissions, which includes the Spec B 6MT) and the TY754 series (split case 5 and 6MT transmssions)

So I tore my front end apart because I thought the drive axels were failing and they seem fine. I had the knocks at low speed turning, knock from forward to reverse but the axles seem fine. And the bearings seem fine. Is this something that only shows under load or do I look somewhere else?

Others have reported an incidence of noise from the front end that emulates as knocks or clacks or clunks, but it's not from suspension or suspension-related bits. Check your calipers and brake pins. When things get cold, those tend to bind and/or stick then release. Worth it just to get in there and check your pistons, sliders, and your pad wear. Check your sliders for inordinate wear and lube up if all good. Replace as required.

Yeah, you're in the hole deep. One thing I'd recommend is fashioning some dowels for reinstalling the manifold. Made that process a bajillion times easier. These are the passenger side dowels circled, with the manifold having been seated.

So it goes like this:

- Buy 4 pretty long bolts. I can't remember off the top of my head, but maybe 6 inches minimum. Also can't remember the exact thread measurement. Maybe m10x1.5? Take one of the manifold to head bolts with you to the store.

- Cut the head of the bolts off

- Use a dremel cut off wheel to cut a notch into the now top of the bolt.

- Position these 4 studs into the heads to guide the manifold down. Two per head. They don't need to bottom out in the head, just a few threads to keep them steady.

- Once the manifold is down (don't forget the gaskets!) install the other two manifold-head bolts, and unscrew the studs with a narrow regular screw driver. Use a magnet to pick the studs up fully out of the manifold. Install the remaining two bolts per side. Immediately start car and do wheelies for days.

 

I was terrified of mangling the head-tgv gaskets when I was fixing my fuel lines. This ensured the manifold went straight down, and completely lined up with the head bolt holes. I still needed to finagle the manfiold assembly past a few hoses and harnesses, but even that wasn't that bad knowing I had the guide dowels waiting.

 

 

Brilliant!

 

 

ISTR putting those injectors in there.

I thought about that option but afraid of loosing some spool.

 

 

Why?

How do I upload an image to this forum?

I got out in some of that Sunday afternoon in the OB

Back when I ordered it new the way I wanted, and today

I know that going from the 18" 2-piece Volks (@20 lbs each) and 225/40ZR MPS ASes, to the ADVANS with 235/40ZR MPS AS4es, the acceleration was immediately noticeable, and 5he wheel/tire response was definitely improved, even with a wider wheel and lower offset. My wife even commented about how much quicker and smoother it was with the new wheel/tire combo. No rolling required and only slight burp on heavy compressions while turning, at the front. Not even enough to burr the fender edge.

Glad to hear to from you SBT!

Why does my brain keep wanting to do 8.5" or 9" wide wheels on the wagon? I know they're a pita to fit and require more work than I really want to do. Someone smack me through the internet and tell me to stick to 8" wide wheels.

 

 

Running ADVAN RCII, 18x8.5, +40 ET, @16.5 lbs each

 

 

 

Agreed, 235 width is the most ideal fitment on our cars.

 

Only thing I have to add is if you want performance over looks, move to a lightweight 17" wheel. I don't love the style of my OZ wheels, but at 15.5lbs a corner and paired with a good 235/45/17 tire, the performance trade off is unreal.

 

Currently running 225/40/18s and think my next set will be 235s. That extra 4mm of sidewall has got to help with the ride quality at least a little bit. Should also fill out the wheel well a little better

 

 

Ran 225/40ZRx17 (stock wheels) and 18 (on 18x8 Volk GTV +46 ET) and now run 235/40ZRx18 MPS AS4es on the ADVANs. You do need camber control front and rear. I'm dropped 1.25" and camber is set to -1.5° F and -.75° R and 0° toe F/R.

Shouldn't "Third Generation Subaru Outback (2003 – 2009)"

be "Third Generation Subaru Outback (2005 – 2009)" at least for USDM?

 

 

In the USDM, the Outback models started with the 1995-99 2nd Gen Legacy BD/BG chassis as the 1st Gen Outback and that convention has continued to today.

 

 

The 2005-09 BL/BP platform had two model segments:

 

 

4th Gen Legacy, BL/BP

 

3rd Gen Outback, BL/BP

 

 

 

With the advent of the 2010-14 Legacy and Outback models, the BM chassis comprises the 5th Gen Legacy models while the 2010-14 BR chassis comprises the 4th Gen Outback models and so on to today.

It is a mystery, LOL. My mailing address is Shenandoah Junction. Go figure?

 

 

 

As none of the locations holds any greater property value (its all W Va) I dont care. I did not move here for the glamour and glitz, I came for the solitude.

 

 

Looks like you're a straight shot down the Blue Ridge 7.5 hours. Come on down.

Nice animation...but no way that's real. F15s don't/cant stop in mid-flight to let another aircraft cross their noses like that

Thank you for the question. Unfortunately, the Site's OS doesn't have provisions for managing videos.

Best to host it on YouTube or another video hosting platform and post the link in your thread.

Yes it is.

And Mike, having you down would be awesome.

 

 

Give me a call to discuss.

 

 

Don't think I mentioned that I'm in San Diego for my former pastor's memorial service and to console the family. Two trips here in the last 2 weeks. Don't know how I did this every week for 2 years before the client wanted me in Charleston permanently.

Max's med bills are piling up, both for major surgery that he has had and for his daughter's continuing care. And he's out of work.

 

 

 

I'm going to reopen his site account so that he can post up his LGT for sale, and going to help him out to gather the FS post info as his arm isn't up to the task of writing it all up, and I gather no strength to part it out.

 

 

 

I asked him to get some good quality pics together in order to highlight what he has to offer.

 

 

Beyond that, I'd like the site to setup/do a GoFundMe type page to get some critically needed funds heading his way. Anyone here have any experience with this, give me a call to discuss, or post up here. My number hasn't changed it's 619-948-5365.

 

 

Will be working with the mod team as well to see what else can be done.

 

 

It occurred to me that the SoCal crew could coordinate getting his car detailed, running, and then auctioning it off with all of the proceeds going to help fund the medical bills, instead of just selling it on the site.

 

 

Stream of consciousness, but pop-in any ideas you might have.

 

 

Thanks all
