I would say $50 and no more for stock sways. I have some for sale at those prices too.

The seat has a lot to do with condition. If it is in superb shape that can range from $100-250. It would depend on if seat belt receptor and slide rails came with it too.

If you charged me for a stock swaybar. We wouldn't be friends anymore. Lol

Well... when you can't stick to a budget, let alone PASS (make) one, yet continue to borrow more money ... it was bound to happen.

2015 STI will have higher ground clearance, bull guard, smaller windows, more of an "All-terrain" tire, LED light bars and large whip antenna's. Oh, and ~350hp with a Diff locker

LOL

So I needed to borrow my dad's van and he used my car to go to work. He brings my car back with a full tank of gas. At first I thought it was pretty cool of him to get me gas. But then I realized he probably doesn't know that my car runs only on 90 octane..I ask him what kind of gas he put in and he says regular 87.

I also gave him a little talk about why my car only does 90 octane. But I still thanked him for gassing it up for me.

Should I be worried? I was just about to gas up before I went to work today so I had just about half a quarter gallon left.

Scappy · 10-02-2013, 01:24 PM

just throw some octane booster in the tank if your worried.

MrRicH · 10-02-2013, 01:31 PM

Had the same issue before once too when the wife tried helping. I just poured some Torco in, and did a few launch/breaks to mix it around, tried staying off boost as well. She ended up surviving. I doubt you'll have issues if you do similar.

BLURRZ · 10-02-2013, 02:15 PM

Alright I'll go ahead and get some Torco! Thanks for the quick responses guys I really appreciate it.

MrRicH · 10-02-2013, 02:39 PM

Guess I'll hit up Subaru for a idle valve gasket and see if that works. Seems through some research that looks to be the way to go, unfortunately I guess I'm the only one I know with the issue going on.
Explains odd idle behavior though, sometimes out of nowhere the car will idle at 1-1.5k, so, maybe it's about time it gets replaced...

P3Auto · 10-02-2013, 04:27 PM

Drive it normal (no hard acceleration) until the fuel is gone. It won't hurt a thing if you keep your foot out of it. The car is more then capable of pulling some timing on its own if it needs to. ** Just don't drive it hard until the tank is used up.

Not sure on the year of the car but if it has a cable for throttle make sure it is adjusted properly. I have seen this a dozen times with cables that are tight.

The high idle from time to time is just icing the cake, but on a start, the car turns over immediately, but drops down to 50-100RPM and then gently comes up to 500. Mostly upon a cold start. ClubWRX and some NASIOC opinions lean on this gasket. Was just looking for local 2nd opinions. Wouldn't hurt anyway as the gasket is only $6.

The screw heads on those are relatively soft so if they have never came loose before becareful not strip them out. I've changed those gaskets out a couple times already.

cosseywrx · 10-02-2013, 09:15 PM

I still have my bounce idle at cold start at times. Ive cleaned my iacv and replaced gasket and still have problems.

I think my iacv is just done. 05 wrx dbc

Is there a way to watch it other than vimeo?

Watched a couple of Top Gear US episodes recently, the one about Alaskan convertibles was stupid but the one about rallying had some cool footage at the very least. I can't believe Subaru let Tanner barrow Higgins's rally car.
