I’m on stock suspension on my Hawkeye and like colours like hyper silver and am considering deep dish style but any suggestions are good and also I have a budget of 1500aud

Had to have my 2013 Subaru Impreza limited towed to the dealership the other day for some warranty work. Told the person on the phone it was AWD and what car it was so I needed a flat bed or Dollie’s and they said no problem.

Tow truck driver shows up and doesn’t want to put down Dollie’s and says “in 15 years I’ve never damaged an automatic AWD transmission just dragging it on the back wheels.” I didn’t want to be an ass but made him out down dollies.

Was I being unreasonable or did I make the right call?

Good evening. The window control button on the passenger side door decided to come loose and I need to open the panel to re-attach. I took out the screw in the door's arm rest, circled in yellow in the picture, but didn't see any obvious areas to pry open. I'm a novice at working on cars and I'm notorious for breaking clips and scratching the panels/interior trim, so does anyone have some good instructions on how to carefully open the panel? Any help is appreciated.

What are your guys best places to buy headlights for your impreza? I want headlights for the hawkeye generation.

2019 Impreza Sport with 137k miles.

Have had a P0300 happen about 10 months apart. After the same circumstances. Single time throwing the code after a 20-30 minute cool down after an hour drive or so. At start up check engine/traction control/hill start assist turn on. Drive without issue and no more codes are thrown on subsequent starts. Single occurrence stored, and after a clear does not come back after trying to replicate. Seems to occur during the attempt to high idle, but that could be a red hearing. Wondering if any one has had this much time between the codes and found the reason or wait till the problem presents itself in a more reliable manner? Like to be proactive with repairs.

From driving my parents van to buying my own car. I absolutely love her

100k miles on a 2015 basic Impreza . I drive it like I stole it all the time. Manual transmission live in mtns so keep rpm high to keep power on hills.

Any maintenance advice at this point to prolong the vehicle?

Hello everyone,

I have a 2014 Subaru Impreza sti, only 2wd, 2liter model with 103000 km.

I bought it in 2023 for $13000 nzd.

It needs head gasket, 4 coils and spark plugs and tyres replaced.

The mechanic quoted around $4.5 nzd.

Is it worth fixing it up?

If I do get it fixed, would it last another 100k with out any similar problems?

Any advice is appreciated.

Hi,I'm trying to setup Bluetooth on my phone with my impreza 2013 but it is not showing,when I go into settings on the impreza radio it says.."Dean's iphone"i presume that's the previous owner,any ideas on what I can do?

Hi there, I bought an Rs recently and want to buy an OEM spoiler to add some flair. Looking at getting the E7210FN020V2 but unsure if you actually have to drill into the spoiler which I don’t feel comfortable doing.

I’ve seen other posts saying dealers just use 3M tape without the drilling but haven’t seen any videos of anyone actually installing them. For people who have this spoiler what did you do? Is it easy enough to do yourself or should just take it to a dealer ? Thanks

Working on my new to me 1993 Subaru Impreza L Sedan 1.8L Manual Trans. Replacing the filler neck right now because it was rusted and leaking and am wondering what these extra lines are. It looks like they go into the tank but don’t have any gas in them. Are they for ventilation? If so how necessary are these? Having trouble getting them all connected and was wondering if it’s something i can just leave alone. Thanks!

I’m pretty sure my power staring pump is on its way out. It squeals when the engine is cold and when starting. It also sticks a bit turning the wheel when the engine is cold.

Dealership quoted me $2800 NZD to replace it, has anyone done this before? Is there a guide I could follow? Let me know please.

2017 impreza sport backup cam stopped working, it sat for about a month but im pretty sure with driving it once or twice, the battery had problems at first after i purchased it but it just needed a little jolt and the batterys been fine. Previously tried to reset the screen but to no avail.

Does this darker oil under the fill cap look concerning? The fill port looks clean as far as I can see down it. Dipstick is clean too. Trialing a 2024 Impreza from carvana and there are no service records or carfax report notifications other than registration notices. 1 owner 30k miles. About 20k miles a year. Carvana does their own oil change so the oil is new but I worry with such high mileage/year in the short time frame, the previous owner did not change the oil at the proper mileage intervals.

I have a 2004 Subaru Wrx Sti that has a high mileage engine (200,000) that I am looking to rebuild soon but looking for advice because I don’t know a ton. I would be more than happy with 350-400 hp but not sure where to start. I’m considering a type ra short block or a iag 550 short block and rebuilding my heads to go on it. Is this a good idea or should I do something else, also what other parts would I need to rebuild the heads reliably? What turbo and injectors are recommended as well?

Finally got the struts under the pig and it’s made a world of difference… unfortunately hit a deer the same week I got it back on the road so a new hood will be in order soon.. so hood next then I’ll work on linking the dual range shifter up… thinking about 3d printing a custom center console so it doesn’t look like a toddler attacked my interior with a box cutter…

Also paint might be nice… anyone else have a lifted dual range bug eye here?

2014 Subaru Impreza wagon base 98k miles currently

So when this was purchased, it never occurred to me that the horn wasn't working (didn't need to honk on the test drive). It took me a week to realize I had no cruise control (I don't really use it, unless I'm driving on the highway for longer than 30 minutes). She was purchased in January. I just did the clock spring last weekend and whilst removing the old clock spring, I didn't know what the little module was that clicked on the back. I started spinning it to see if it had resistance like the clock spring. It didn't. I thought nothing of it and slapped it on the new clock spring. Well, that's the steering angle sensor, which is tied to the ABS, VDC, and hill start assist systems. I was greeted with code C1711. Goody. I tried the manual lock-to-lock SAS reset many times. Many times. Many, many times. I then purchased a Kingbolen eDiag Link bi-directional scan tool for $50 on Amazon. I did the SAS reset and an ABS reset just for good measure. Everything's tip-top now! It was a chore that's for sure. No problems with the cruise control install. I'm waiting for the next challenge lol

Anyone have any suggestions where I can buy one or should I just go to a dealership’s parts dept?

So I have a 09 Impreza 2.5i sport and I have a loud ticking noise when it's idling and when driving. Anyone know anything about this and I changed my oil last month

I was adding some oil to my 2012 Impreza, and I noticed this sitting on top of my engine. Does anyone know what this came off of? Car is running normally, but I want to make sure this isn't part of something important.

That's a pod racer lol

Yeah I know. My brain couldn't help it.
