Subaru mech here. This post is to let everyone know that TSB

Does uv light photodegrade the plastic or something and make it reflective? I drove a Ford fusion from that era before and it fucking sucked in bright sunlight.

since you're a subaru mech, I'll ask you a question that I've needed to be answered for a while.

are the new fa20dit engines reliable? basically I've narrowed new cars down and I'm leaning more toward the new style wrx. I want to mod it after a while and if I'm going to do that I want an engine that won't pop after 30k miles.

Thanks. It's causing serious sight issues while driving on my outback.

Go bother my roommate he's an express writer.

>>15868227
Yes the new ones are reliable. The only recall I have seen it's turbo intake boot failure. But that's it.
>>15868226
It like melts and becomes sticky I think that's why. I'm half way done with it.

I think the dash boards are on back order. The one I'm currently doing it took 6 months to get here and when I pulled it out of the box it's all fucked up. Current wait list is a year at my dealership. In the mean time like I said try to get a dash mat or something for now

Thoughts on early to mid 2000s Forester XTs?

So how much boost will am EG33 take before catastrophic failure?

>>15868845
I don't even know the answer to that.
>>15868770
Head gaskets, shaft play on turbo timing belt.
Not all that great

>>15868899
But they're strong blocks, yeah? I've been reading the forum's and they've got a hole in the info and older posts stated the ringlets would pop with even low boost, to the later '12+ posts that state the blocks have no problems and people are running near 18 lbs with stock internals, dies this sound about right?

fuck are u talking about nigga I have 2006 outback xt and it has a carpet over the dash

Just the dash? Sticky interior gets really interesting when the dome light trims, all 4 door panels and switches, instrument cluster sunshades, every dash switch, column cover, HVAC vent, and console all melt at the same time

That's not a legacy you fucking retard

>>15868943
Nobody cares that you hate on cars you can't afford

>>15868971
He does the same shit with guns too

>>15868960
I don't see how it's much different, mine glares alot with sun and is super reflective

>>15868943
Just the dash yeah.
>>15868936
Not affected lol
>>15868911
That sounds right to me but I wouldn't run 18lbs on stock internals. I don't know what they have stock off hand
I have been seeing alot of 12-13 sti blowing motors before 65K miles we have 4 here that need new motors

>>15869364
Nah boss, I'm not the guy talking STi's, I was >>15868911 and I was asking about the EG33

>>15869381
Right I know that, I was just telling you about the stis I was seeing.

>>15869425
Ahhh

>>15868226
Is that why my fucking fusion is so reflective?
