    I have a 2005 Outback XT limited and I was just wondering if this car is equipped with traction control or VDC, if so is there anyway to disable it? I haven’t found a switch or button for traction control.

    I’ve been wanting to do a STI seat swap for a while and I found some pretty cheap seats from an 02 STI. Would these seats bolt on pretty easily to an 05 XT? My current seats are power and heated seats, would that make it harder?
  3. Engine & Drivetrain
    What's up OB community! This is my inaugural forum post and it's a big deal. I spun a rod bearing and will remove the engine, split the case, and rebuild from there. I am following Mike Bauer's teardown and rebuild videos on youtube (courtesy of CarryHolmez channel). I don't have a bunch of...

    Greetings! My friend has h&r coilovers from a 2012 sti that he's letting go of. These would make my commute so much better as I'm on stock kyb's. yuck From what I understand the front should mostly bolt right up, but the rear might require some modification? If anyone has any experience with...

    Current photo: After several months of searching, I found my low mileage manual unicorn over 1,000 miles and two states away in August 2020, and it happened to be a rare turbo. I finally took possession of my wagon with only 76k miles and bone stock in September (a long crazy story, will share...

    About a month ago I checked my coolant reservoir and it was completely dry. Obviously this was very concerning so I filled it up and left it in the garage to see where the leak is. I’ve looked it over top to bottom both hot and cold and can’t find a drop anywhere. This made me think I’m screwed...

    Hi y’all been looking for an 05-09 OBXT, must say it is quite difficult. I have found one that has recently had the headgaskets, timing belt, and water pump replaced. On top of that it had the turbo replaced 8 months before then. My only concern is the car has 188k miles. Is this too many miles...
  10. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    I recently posted another discussion about my engine making a rattling, metal on metal noise, from that I assumed it was the turbo and it had shaft play which was making the noise. Well I decided to take off the down pipe and feel the turbo for shaft play, it didn’t have any shaft play at all...

    So I hear a light clicking metal on metal sound coming from my engine, I assume that it’s coming from the turbo. The questions are, is it shaft play from the faulty banjo bolt filter causing the turbo to go bad? Or any other ideas of where this noise is coming from, like what else could make...
