Sublimewind

hard to say.. about the only thing I could say would be to remove the HU and remove the speakers from the left side and ohm out the lines with a meter.. maybe there is a pinch on the wire?

Sublimewind

yeah, if you don't want to put with through the door, you can wire up to behind the HU and use the stock wires into the door.. Everything is becoming PNP, and the doors are a perfect example I see, a molex plug in the door jam (common over the years) so it's simple to plug it in and hang the door..

Drilled/slotted rotors on your car are a waste of money.. Your car isn't a high performance car (sorry to break it to you) adding drilled/slotted rotors actually LESSENS your overall breaking performance.. Less overall swept surface area.. You'll never likely drive the car to the point that drilled/...

I know the car, I know the tires, I know I rock at winter driving and yet, I wouldn't condone some of those speeds in those conditions... That is unless you had your Winterforce tires studded and maybe have 200lbs of something in the rearNow, if I was in the Subaru, I wouldn't have a concern.. lol.....

I wonder what different shapes would do for performance? The flat stock being used here is "ok" but we all know how easy it is to bend a plastic ruler.. same difference.. I wonder how 1x1 angle would work.. I wonder the stiffness difference..

Pull the positive cable and put an amp meter between the terminal and battery, see if you are getting an excessive draw.. No problems with batteries though right? no start problems? besides the car diesing and replacing the alt?

See how many pages you can get through.... http://damnyouautocorrect.com/...-dyac///

sounds like a temp sensor of either the coolant or intake... pretty obvious.. everything goes wonky at warm up.. Possibly a coolant issue if it runs HOT.. could be a thermostat that's not opening... not sure if our system is a fail to open or not.. Is there any coolant in the motor?

Sublimewind

quite possible.. how does the OD compare to the summers?
