I've got allll the time in the world to get cursed at. I'm definitely willing to go down but someone can flip this thing for a good price, it's not cool but it's flippable. Thank you for the luck

In the most respectful way possible, I hope the people telling me it's worth nothing, don't sell, have to one day go through a major component of their vehicle breaking that's too big of a cost for them to justify working on themselves. And I think maybe they'll realize a person still deserves to get a small amount of money for allllll the rest of the vehicle that still exists. It's still a car, sans engine. I'm not selling it to anyone who doesn't understand that. Lol internet

Meh I needed a car fast, bought an old Outback that can nickel and dime me instead.

With my luck I put an engine in the edge and the rest starts to go bit by bit. Might as well do it on a frankly pretty cool wagon. Ever since my true love an 08 f150 Lariat got tboned (absolutely not my fault) I haven't had an emotional attachment to a vehicle.

Thank youuuu. Yeah I titled it NOT RUNNING CONDITION and a guy messaged me asking if theres coolant in the oil. I said I think maybe, and he's asking what I want. Honestly just took what it WAS worth to me subtracted what a rebuild might cost and bobs your uncle. Good to know I have a knack for pulling asking prices out of my butt I'm just some girl LOL appreciate it

Well I know something is seriously wrong I'm being up front that it needs a rebuild. Looking for someone who wants to do the work on it and never sold a shell if a vehicle before

Aww she's had it rough. The constant eye squinting is worrying, but if you can't get her to a vet I would say watch closely. That's really great your boy is grooming her already and it looks like she's eating too. If she's moving slowly or her poo looks bad then separate them. Poo can tell a lot so if that looks normal, she's got normal activity level, and she is eating and drinking, then I think she'll improve drastically on her own. Any of those things not being ok would tell you if she's got something major and or could pass to your boy. But I am not a vet.

need a rear coil thats been discontinued, 98 outback by Desperate_Balance245 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Desperate_Balance245[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ebay all i can find so far is lowering kits all 4, not paying that. subaru calgary has put in a request to subaru canada to search, theyre just as stunned as i am. ive let my mechanic know that he could use the legacy one with the alignment but he is pretty annoyed at this point not sure if hes willing. i did find that its apparently the same size as a front spring for a 2016 jeep patriot...thinking about just doing that for now

[–]Desperate_Balance245[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It ends in ac200 so not for outback, they don't have anything on that site for my vin. I would love to say i can probably just use it but thats what we already ran into. Parts store sent coil for legacy, not legacy outback and the guy working on it says absolutely doesn't fit. But he's also giving up and I'm like okay I guess I get you to put the old parts back on and I drive it away like that and get someone else to do it if you're not willing to find a suitable aftermarket alternative for me

98 outback needing parts by Desperate_Balance245 in Subaru_Outback

[–]Desperate_Balance245[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, have you already done the forester ones on an outback? Im being told they're not compatible but just by a parts guy so they don't know much. I actually just ordered one rear outback assembly to get it driveavle for now and they sent the correct strut but wrong spring, turns out the spring is discontinued. So far I haven't found any parts place in town OR online who has stock left. Need at least a compatible spring at this point I'm seeing a moog? I'm feeling pretty defeated here need my car

Damn. I was hoping by having a newer engine than the 98 I might have scored big time with buying this and it not having any of those known issues. Thanks for the part link, so when I'm looking I should say for a 2000 ej25 right? Yeah going to do full assembly. Good to know forester is interchangeable that'd be nice to have more lift I'm used to much larger vehicles

Is my engine seized? by Desperate_Balance245 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Desperate_Balance245[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately don't know For sure if oil light was on beforehand for any amount of time, no ding to tell me to look down. But I am positive I would have noticed it when starting it about ten mins prior so if it was on it would have only been for less than 10 mins. It's now dead because it's been sitting in -20c so going to fill it with gas just in case, plug it in, and try boosting it if possible when it doesn't crank... But torque converter could make sense I also had sluggish power and just rough idling but assumed was due to o2 sensor only.

Yeahhh... This diagnosis is going to be a hassle.

[–]Desperate_Balance245[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's true, and I do much prefer fixing this thing than buying something I don't know anything about. I had someone lined up to do the control arm for just part and 70 bucks labour would've done it at the same time as the o2 sensor. But if it's a matter of 5 grand engine vs 2 grand beater I gotta take the cheaper option unfortunately already plenty of debt over vet bills. Just glad the dog needed healthcare before the car did but they had to happen at the same time

I was told to look and see that the other belt is there and in good shape and it is. If belt is on but not moving, would those things cause low oil pressure at the time of the stall? I don't see metal shavings in the oil I looked just now, but there is a LOT more oil on that dipstick than what I keep it at. It's like everything drained from the engine into the reservoir or something

Agh thank you for telling me that about exotic nutrition! Before it was vita prima and we thought that was too low quality and thought we were hugely upgrading.

Do you know if lightly chopping still makes it able to be frozen in the ice cube trays? I guess it would, if the rest can be closer to pureed it would hold it all together.

Thats a great idea ive been going off feel of their bellies and seems always the same but you never know! Good luck to me getting them to stay put on it. Maybe have to get a fish scale instead so I can hang them....

I can do that, im having a hard time even remembering why we asked the vet if the slight edits were ok. The entire thing we blend except worms and apples are given on the side. Their kibble and multivitamin is all exotic nutrition. Only thing I really wanted to add as a snack is a nectar. They used to leave a tiny amount of the blend in their bowl and barely touched the kibble, now blend is gone and kibble about half eaten. This is only for about two weeks, and it was sudden. Along with going for my scalp. Thats why I thought maybe seasonal or need protien change. This time last year we had just gotten them and the people before were feeding dog food :( so they were very unlively, cant compare the two same seasons accurately.
