http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...1/DSC00249.jpg you buy it you fix it lol!!!!!!! I am so done with it right now it makes me sick...:hh: still leaks coolant btw..but its not over heating anymore..

Re: Subaru for sale
 

what year and model is it?

Re: Subaru for sale
 

Ditto, plus miles on it? And what are the known issues with it?

Re: Subaru for sale
 

LOL this is a joke thread. its not actually for sale..well not today it is but u never know but its an 02 with 141,000 miles, known issues

leaking coolant (not sure where my mechanic did a pressure test and tightened hoses and said it was fixed but its not so who knows)
belt needs replacing
evap sensor broken
turbo almost blown
no ac
high miles
rotors might be wrapped, also hear clicking noise from brakes.
prolly more..
good parts it has a new thermostat so it doesn't over heat anymore, looks sexy, and is decently fast...and loud!

Re: Subaru for sale
 

well i have a rebuilt center for your turbo, just do a voltage bipass on the evap, i got a ac charge and seal kit, and get the damn rotors turned and new brakes put on! i would take $150 and one week to to do it! let me know if you want it done or not...

Re: Subaru for sale
 

You reallly got Julians hopes up..lol

Re: Subaru for sale
 

ya know it, my subies been down for months now....i really want a wagon so i can bring all my stuff over to your house!

p.s. tell dahlton he is a idiot!

Re: Subaru for sale
 

there is a hole in one of my ac lines so it needs a new line and pretty sure even with that it wont work lots of dust and dirt got in there from rallyxing so my guess is it would need to be complety replaced...and the brakes are a year old been turned about 4 months ago and they seem warped already...and the leak is going to be a pain in the ass to fix cause the intake mani has to come off...and the turbo might as well be upgraged to a vf39 at this point. if your serious pm me a offer i can not refuse LOL I might be interested...but then I might kick myself for selling it.

Re: Subaru for sale
 

well how much do YOU want for it, might as well get it in the open already...

Re: Subaru for sale
 

I dont have a price cause I would rather have it fixed ...I would only consider offers. btw its and automatic that might turn you off..not sure if u knew that.

Re: Subaru for sale
 

that would be even better! that way the misses can drive it too! hhhhmmmm pm me your number so we can talk...

Re: Subaru for sale
 

I'm betting its pad transfer on the rotors causing the shaking and not actually a warped rotor unless you were REALLY heating those things up.

Re: Subaru for sale
 

Turning rotors doesn't always fix a warping issue. Once a rotor is warped, it's always warped. Turning them just shaves down the "high spots" which really only turns them into thin spots making it easier to warp again. The only real fix for warped rotors is to replace them.

Re: Subaru for sale
 

What's the picture of? I don't get it.

Time for a ralliart? :)

Re: Subaru for sale
 

LOL its the ac belt just shredding. and yeah I need to just replace the rotors...maybe time for a ralliart who knows...I dont think I can sell the car I love it to much...

Re: Subaru for sale
 

hey Kracka, whats the best way to deal with uneven pad transfer? Would getting the rotors machined help this, if caught early enough? I think I may be having this problem as well.

Re: Subaru for sale
 

I've tried explaining this to people before, no one ever listens.

Re: Subaru for sale
 

Yup, it's the truth. Thats what I've been learning is suspension and brakes for the first semester at school.


For how much abuse that car has seen in 140k miles, be happy that's all that's wrong. A/C is a waste anyway, makes an automatic car even more boring to drive. :P

Re: Subaru for sale
 

Yea 140k, you should expect maintenance items like that to come up. All of them seem pretty minor, you just have to get your hands dirty and figure out what you are doing. So you dont always have to have a friend work on it for you. :)

Re: Subaru for sale
 

Getting the rotors turned works but removing metal when you don't need to isn't a good idea. I recommend 120-grit sandpaper, or sometimes just bedding in new pads removes it.

Re: Subaru for sale
 

If the rotors are good quality, and they are still within spec to be turned, they should last a year before they may start warping again. I turned the rotors on the M a few times in the 3 years I owned them, mainly because they were slotted/drilled, and they looked too good for me to want to replace them. haha

Re: Subaru for sale
 

I think you need an STi, I'll take that wagon on trade. :wink:

Re: Subaru for sale
 

that's not entirely true most newer cars have wot cutout switch. so it shuts of the ac while your wot. so when you get on it to merge on the freeway or whatever the reason may be you have full power when you need it

Re: Subaru for sale
 

AC is def not a waste, unless you like sitting in a sweaty seat.

Re: Subaru for sale
 

Yuck. A/C FTW! Janelle's A/C is broken too on her WRX and the A/C on Anna's GLI also went out a few weeks ago. Sweaty vaginas FTL :(

Re: Subaru for sale
 

LOL, I love my A/C ! :D dry ballsacks FTW!

Re: Subaru for sale
 

Got that fixed asap! :D

Re: Subaru for sale
 

Man, you guys are babies. :P



Real men drive with the windows down. :tongue:

Re: Subaru for sale
 

Haha I used to, when I had my dsm... which it worked but overheated the engine if I turned it on haha.

One day you will realize AC, heated seats, and other creature comforts are to die for. :)

And Rofl at sweaty vags. haha Man that sucks! What went out on the WRX and GLI?

Re: Subaru for sale
 

WRX = condenser
GLI = compressor

Re: Subaru for sale
 

I dont trust my hands to take off and put back on my intake manifold..if it were more simple than that I would have fixed it months ago.

Re: Subaru for sale
 

Doesn't sweat = moist? What's wrong with moist?

Re: Subaru for sale
 

Wrong kind of moist. 0_o Sweat = smell.

Re: Subaru for sale
 

Eww *shudder*

Re: Subaru for sale
 

Just get cooled seats, then you don't need AC as much.

Re: Subaru for sale
 

That entirely depends on how you drive, and how badly they are warped. Even if they are in spec for thickness, one hard stop at highway speed could warp them the day after you get them turned.

Re: Subaru for sale
 

Pretty sure I beat the M well daily. haha It all depends on the quality of the rotor. A napa special will warp faster than Brembo replacements.

Re: Subaru for sale
 

Yup, there are huge differences in rotor quality. Not only do better quality rotors last longer, they also stop quicker too. The worst rotors I've found have been Autozone's. Napa's are supposed to be decent and I had good luck with Checker's. For a performance application though at least get Centric blanks (sold under a lot of different names such as RotorPro, Stoptech, Powerslot, etc.) or better.

Re: Subaru for sale
 

A *LOT* of C5 Corvette guys run Raybestos rotors on their cars for track duty and daily use. Raybestos tends to have thicker rotors that prevent warping. The "downside" is that they hold more heat, but if you run good pads, holding heat is a good thing.

It is the brand Checker Auto Parts carrys/carried.

Re: Subaru for sale
 

LOL at the tag!! yea I have brembo blanks in there..I am thinking it must be unevean wear from the pads..but I shall replace them before the snow flies...
