Thread: subaru owners?

Love my Forester XT, but hates it's 4spd auto tranny.


If nissan sold X-Trail GT's here

Still digging the WRX wagon in Subbie-blue.

Unlike most, I'd look at rally/road oriented suspension options to enhance excursions off road without killing performance on the pavement. Combined with seriously capable in the mud tires. I've got wide-open pastures and dirt roads into my farm. That would be sweet as a daily.

Thanks I like it a lot, lots of fun to drive, awesome in the snow, have snow tires on the bbs's...I dislike that it gets the same mpg's as my m45 and xjr did though

My 2001 2.5 RS a little dirty in this picture but it'll do.

I have another subie right now , I have bought almost everything for a STI swap , I want am only improving on the things I think my wagon needed ( a stronger gearbox , and a little more power ) ...other wise they are perfect

you have got to be fucking kidding me. I used to love my Legacy GT until I had the pleasure of replacing a leaking valve cover gasket and cracked turbine housing and removing the banjo bolt filter from the turbo oil feed line. Oh, and spark plugs, FML. There were cursewords, blood and tears the entire time. I cant see how working on these things can be a joy to anyone.

Paying someone to do the work for you is something I consider a luxury. If I could afford it, I would pay to have it fixed, even to change the fuckin headlight bulbs. Ive worked on some pretty tough cars, but this is just rediculous. Id rather work an any nissan any day and Id be happy doing it.

Other than that its a great car. The best Ive ever had.

There are tricks you have to learn champ. Doing vc and plugs, remove the two engine mount bolts and the top engine mount at the fire wall. Jack the car up and put a stand where the trans meets the engine and lower the car untill the plugs clear the frame. Easy peasy.

Go work on the new nissans. Timing chains under warranty on a 4.0 path finder, quest, max that's a real FML. don't get me started on their shit ass cvt trans. Or the trans coolers on pathfinders blowing up and having to replace the rad and trans
