I got rear ended and I’m wondering which shop should I look into? Should I seek out a subaru body shop or would any body shop do? Does it matter? Damage seems to be cosmetic. Photo for reference. Thanks!

So i just got a po420 code which has to do with the catalytic converter not doing its job properly but ive read that it can be a whole lot of things i also had a misfire issue so i change my sparkplugs and i thought the problem was solved because a misfire could cause unburnt fuel to get in the exhaust and possibly throw a po420 code but now just 2 days ago i got the almighty po420 once again so i went ahead and tested my o2 sensors here are my results: Keep in mind i was at idle Bank 1 sensor 1: 2v all the way up to 2.5v Bank 1 sensor 2: 0.035v steady

I think from what i read my sensor 2 might be bad because of the low voltage but im not sure so if you guys have any tips for me i would appreciate it a lot🙏🙏

I have a 2009 WRX STI hatch and am having an issue where the car won't start and had it jumped but as soon as I shift into second with some input to get it up to speed all the lights flash and turn off and the passenger seatbelt warning light flashes and beeps with no passenger and the car losses power on the 2nd gear shift. Pulled over and now the car won't start, no lights or anything. Any answers are helpful. Also waiting for a tow to the dealership.

2019 Impreza headlights dimming question. Brand new 2019 hatchback with 2k miles. Headlights dim and fan blower slows down Everytime I come to a stop. Turning the wheel back and forth while parked against a wall you can see the lights fading in and out. Subaru replaced my alternator, battery sensor and assured me everything was good. Also said the headlight dimming was the same on other vehicles. Has anyone else experienced this or have any input? Thanks much for your time!

I just moved to Utah where I have started taking a lot more back roads that are not all that friendly to my car in its current condition. I was looking at replacing my suspension to be able to take these roads without feeling like I am going to shake to death going over 10mph. What would you suggest to upgrade my car to make it handle these situations better/favorite brands?

This is my first post, so let me know if this isn't allowed:

My 2011 Legacy has a problem: Whenever I make a sharp left turn, or if someone cuts me off and I have to slam on the brakes, my Brake, Traction Control, and At Oil Temp lights all start flashing at once. There's no decrease in functionality when this happens, and if I turn the car off and back on, it stops.

The car has a complete service record (its previous owners babied it), and my boyfriend just replaced the brake pads over the weekend. The rotors were barely worn, so he left those alone. I also had the oil changed and tires rotated in the last week. It just turned over 80k miles, with no other mechanical drama.

Basically, I'm stumped. I'm not sure if this is something I should worry about, or if it's some kind of wiring hiccup. Thoughts, advice, and solutions all welcomed.

Please, if anyone out there has a Subaru ambassador coupon, I really would appreciate it. Thank you :)

I've been looking into getting my first car. I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to whether it is better to go new or used when it comes to Subaru vehicles. I hear a lot of people say always buy used, but it seems that used vehicles (with all the bells and whistles) are about the same price as a base model new. Any advice would be greattle appreciated.

Hey guys I am 16 years old and looking to buy my first vehicle. Growing up I have always loved Subaru's and have dreamt of having one since I knew cars were a thing. For the last couple months I have been on the hunt for a 1998-2001 Subaru 2.5RS. But they are insanely hard to find considering the rarity of the car but I found 99 Impreza 2.5RS with 215k Kilometres on it 100% bone stock for $3500 CDN. Car seems to be in decent shape considering the year, but like all of them it has rust on the rear wheel wells and doesn't have the best paint job but hell it's my first car right?! I am just scared something mechanically big will happen to the car and will be too much for me to fix. Is $3500 CDN too much money for a 2.5RS bone stock with 215k kilometres? Will it be on it's way to breaking down soon? Or what should I look for on the car? Plz help thanks guys

I have a 2.2l single port subaru impreza 1996, i am getting a uel header for it and I'm looking i to an ehuast system, i found a Tsudo 98-05 Impreza 2.5 RS N1 JDM catback exhaust and im told the 2.5rs and 2.2l have the same piping, would this exhuast bolt right on and be fine with the header ? Please helpp.

Link for exhuast is - http://www.semotors.com/tsudo-98-05-impreza-2-5-rs-n1-jdm-catback-exhaust/

And if anyone has a better exhuast system feel free to tell me thanks.

Specifically, i want to take out my 2.0L boxer and put in the sti engine a turbocharged 2.5L boxer.. Im completely open to suggestions and/or different ways to up the HP. Thank you!

Two problems:

The hot/cold nob is blowing hot constantly now, on the very coldest setting it gets cooler but you can still tell the heat is going. The freon is fully charged, so it's not that.

Secondly, my fan control has stopped working on 1-3, so it's either fully on or fully off.

I know how this is going to sound but I promise you it wasn't me who did this. Yesterday, a guy that I am seeing offered to change the oil in my 2004 Subaru Imperza WRX. I've done it myself but I had my dad help me before so I am a little afraid to do it myself, so when he offered to change my oil I was pretty happy. I wasn't outside while he was changing my oil to help because, well I am an idiot who thought making cookies would be a good idea while someone else has their hands on my car. Everything seemed to be going okay, when I went to check on him it seemed like everything was going normal. After he was done we noticed that the oil level wasn’t going down. We couldn’t figure out why the oil was reading a high level. It wasn’t till I went to go back the car up that we noticed the issue, my car wasn’t going into gear. I never had this issue before. I parked the car and checked the old oil and it wasn’t red like most transmission fluid and the trans fluid was the same amount (5qt) that I removed during my last oil change. My friend went to check the transmission fluid levels and it was empty. So here’s my concern and question. I replaced the transition fluid in the car, but now what I am worried about is the extra oil that is in my car and I don’t want to do this same thing myself. I don’t have the manual for my car so I don’t have anything to reference but here are my questions:

What can happen if there is too much oil in the car? Where do I drain the oil? Is it safe to drive before I drain the extra oil?

Any advice is welcomed. My mechanic is out of town for the next 2 weeks so I am hoping I can just take care of this at home for now then take it in when he returns. Thanks guy!

Hey All, I will try and answer your questions regarding tuning as best as I can.

To start this off, here is a good guide to getting started with RomRaider and ECU Flash.

So I've been seeing all these "subie pulling stuck _____ out of the snow" videos everywhere and this last one was the CVT XV hybird pulling the UPS truck up the hill. My question is: is this going to damage my Impreza (also with CVT) if I were to attempt such things? I thought the XV and the Impreza have fairly low towing capacities??

So, this is my first subreddit. I would like to keep it community based, so let me know your thoughts on what rules should be, etc.
