Looks like and cross between an 2011 WRX and a Mazda RX-8

FYI everyone, my buddy lost the timing belt tensioner in his 2002 OBS. Ruined his engine in about 30 seconds as he drove down the highway. The car has about 180,000 miles on it and he used it like a truck to haul supplies for his painting business and he has a dog so the interior is in pretty...

Just for you guys information, I don't know if any of you have used it, but for undercoating and wheel wells I have found that Miracle paint works great. I helped my dad with his 96 Dodge Ram 2500 Pickup and it hasn't developed any new rust anywhere and the existing rust stopped its cancerous...

Seriously, where did you find that? Its pretty cool, but I feel like Im getting Tetnis just by looking at the photos.

FYI in case anyone is interested, I have been running the Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires for a week and I like them a lot. They have plenty of traction, they are quiet, they are comfortable and seem to have stiffer sidewalls than the coopers did, but not as stiff as the Dunlops were. Thier...

Thanks for the info, I went with the Continentals anyway. We will see how they feel, my Coopers seem to have medium to soft sidewalls, hopefully these wont be any worse. There seemed to be a lot of positive reviews for the altimax from subaru drivers, but most of them said if you use it on...

Well, I didn't get a whole lot of opinnions. Basically after reading the reviews I came to the conclusion that in tires under $160 per tire, or with tires in general, you can't get both crisp handling (stiff sidewalls) and a smooth quite ride, its either one or the other. The reviews for the...

Fair enough, thanks for the info. You got me looking at Discount Tire Direct too, which has different pricing for some tires and free shipping. I may end up saving a few bucks that way, so thanks again. Anyone else have any advice? Im hoping someone has tried the Continentals and the Generals...

Gman, you really like the Falkens? The price is good, but the reviews on Discount Tire Direct scare me a little, sounds like the reviewers think they wear out in 25,000 miles and are unstable above 70mph.

I have the S-Drives on my old Grand Am in 205-55-R16. I think they are soft on the sidewalls compared to the Cooper Zeons I ran on it previously, the coopers ssemed stiff on that car. On the Subaru the coopers were really soft, so Im looking for something with even stiffer sidewalls. I feel like...

Hey guys, Im looking at new tires and was hoping to get some oppinions. Im looking for new tires in the 225-45-17 size for my 2009 WRX. I have used dunlop stock tires and they were fine aside from being expensive, noisy and only lasting about 24,000 miles before the nylon started to show. I used...

Welcome to the Forums!

After looking at my tires more carefully, the pair that has good sidewalls is about to hit the wear bars, so its probably not worth saving. I will buy 4 more, maybe something a little less soft and agressive this time. My driving habits aren't really as spirited as they use to be, I could...

I thought there was a certain degree of tolerance on manual shift transmissions? Also, I live in farmington, where the hell do you get a tire shaved? I have never heard of such a thing, sounds like it would be worth my while to wait and hope it doesn't pop.

Hey guys. You know my luck. I can't seem to find a definitive answer to my question in a hurry. I have been too busy lately to research this so I figured I would just post and hope someone more informed than I could fill me in. Basically I have a set of Cooper Zeon 2XS 17" tires on the stock...

The bad part is, this is my cousin and her boyfriend. Her boyfriends car is the OBS, she has a 2001 Legacy GT. Her cars auto transmission is acting up too, her car rolls in park and shifts funny on hills. I don't know what they are going to do if they both stop working, they both live 20 to 30...

My brother's 2001 2.5RS has a bed rear wheel bearing that he still has not fixed yet. It doesn't sound the same. This OBS sounds like it's missing gear teeth to me. I have not driven it much, but if I remember right, he said the wheel seem to jump. Like they have power, then none, then power...

I seriously don't know the details. Its a basic 97 impreza outback sport, with a 2.2L and a 5 speed transmission. It makes noise after it warms up, but to me it just plain seems to drive like a little car hauling a big load. When you don't give it power, it will stop on its own, maybe even if...

Hi guys. I have a friend with a 97 OBS. his rear differential seems to be bad. The car drives like its hauling a semi trailor and its makes terrible racket when it warms up. Like its chewing itself up. Anyone got one for a decent price?

10" should be all you need. I have heard that the boxes made to fit our cars suck though so I would be careful which enclose you choose. I got a pair of RF 10s in a bandpass box, it sounds nice but it is probably overkill. The speakers are a little worn out though (surrounds are damaged) so it...
