the 02's had some issues but i believe the tranny issues were fixed by 03. 04+ i havent heard of any issues with the 5 spd. 6 spd STI trans is kickass, indestructible. Ken Blocks gymkhana car is a stock sti trans and he obviously rails on that car

overall subarus are hella reliable, easy to disassemble, relatively cheap parts...sorta sounds like a honda right?

no.

 

[somejaykid]

how much is the insurance for a subby brian, can you give me a rough guestimate

 

[Hecz]

that probably depends on age, model, and year.

 

[somejaykid]

true but i want to know lol just a rough guestimate

LOL, you obviously havent done your spark plugs yet.

Its not only 02 wrx's that have had issues. Its all subaru 5mt's. name any year, and I can probably tell you someone who has had problems. They just dont go out. If properly maintained, they will last for ever.

STi transmissions are pretty indestructible, BUT, the swap is crazy expensive. 4k alone for JUST the trans.

Done

Yeh i'll have to get an alignment after AM, but camber is fantastic right now, and it drives straight lol

I had the help of a Subaru expert, hes the co-driver for Ziptie Rally, a local team who race Rally America so he made it look incredibly easy.

We had the first strut off/spring mounted ready to go back on in 20 minutes...then we found my camber bolt was bad so we had to d**k around for an hour locating another one.

Don't need to remove the axle bolt, just disconnect ABS and brake lines and drop the strut. Super easy didnt need a spring compressor. If we had had everything it would've taken under 2 hours

looks good Brian.

Although go spend the $100 to get your car aligned. You will be VERY lucky if you have any tire left after the trip to the dells. I cooked my tires after driving for 100 miles after lowering mine.

OH, btw, grandpa Dave is no Subaru expert. lol

 

[Bheims]

true but i want to know lol just a rough guestimate

i had a clean record til i got a speeding ticket in the w. Mine is $140ish per month, i cant remember the exact number. $0 comp deductible, $500 collision

LOL, you obviously havent done your spark plugs yet.

Ah yes, forgot about those devils, no i havent had the pleasure of digging for those

looks good Brian.

really? Dave said I wouldnt have to, and I should let them settle before getting an alignment, if i got it too soon Id have to get another one once i got back

 

[hooked_on4]

should settle in a couple days right?

 

[Bheims]

yeh thats what i thought, he said theyd settle after a hundred miles or so

 

[tonyM]

Dave said you wouldnt have to? And then said you should? lol

theyll settle quicker than 100 miles. A few hard driving sessions and you'll be good.

eh, its up to you I guess. I just know what I'd do

no no

i said i was going to the dells and should I get an alignment. He said no i didnt have to, I should make the drive and then get one after. If i got them aligned, say today, Id have to get another one once i got back..

s**t now i dont know what to do

 

[hooked_on4]

I doubt the CM's it will droop will affect an alignment very much, if it does it will slightly change camber settings. Toe is what will Nom your tires up not camber.....
