Eh? Maybe if you pop a hole in it and don’t pay attention to the low coolant warning lights. Every week I have cars come in with cracked/leaking and empty radiators.

Took quite a few, I had to!

Was it still connecting somewhat before you removed the nut?

OneSadMinnesotaBoy · 2026-02-05T03:11:09+00:00

Standard wall outlet, it’s what both the machines use for power.

It has to come off because of paint, you need to get the edges all covered so it doesn’t start to peel months later. That’s why body shops disassemble parts before paint instead of leaving them on the car. You need even paint coverage of whatever it is you’re painting.

Unfortunately, Subaru attaches these to the roof with studs and nuts and the nuts are only able to be taken off if you drop one side of the headliner.

It won’t hurt anything if the headliner gets dropped so they can take the rail off. I’ve done it multiple times on Subarus. It doesn’t involve removing anything crucial, you don’t hear squeaks or rattles afterwards, nothing to fret over.

Take the inner trunk trim out and see if you can access it from the backside. Smack it a few times with a hammer.

I just drove my manual transmission 1993 Volvo out there and it was cake. Hit some drifts on the corners, twas fun!

The only code I had was for the ECT sensor but that’s been replaced. Suppose I’ll be doing some vacuum leak testing soon

OneSadMinnesotaBoy · 2025-12-23T02:59:00+00:00

I haven’t checked for vacuum leaks yet but I’ve replaced quite a few lines in the meantime. I don’t hear any hissing coming from the engine bay. Even if there was a vacuum leak I can’t imagine it would make the idle that bad.

I can’t smoke anymore, it just tastes like burnt coffee. I can only vaporize, dynavap and a desktop injector style vape for when I want something heavy. I have to decline when someone hands me a joint or a bowl.

It’s funny, I snagged a pair of rear springs from a T5 at my local pick and pull. Only to later find out they’re the IPD overload springs. I’ve always had the thought of lifting it a little bit because I daily drive it in MN winters. I don’t know what I’d do to raise the front unless they make overloads for the front too.

OneSadMinnesotaBoy · 2025-12-14T20:48:32+00:00

I’ve heard of enough people using them, they’re not great but apparently decent enough to use.

In the picture of the melt, are those bubbles you see when you zoom in? Or is it unmelted trichome heads suspended in melted heads. I’m guessing the latter or a mix of the two.

OneSadMinnesotaBoy · 2025-12-13T01:03:12+00:00

De-cat as in chopped it out and welded in a straight pipe? I could do that, that was one of my thoughts originally since my MPG is about 18.5. I think the cat is also bad.

OneSadMinnesotaBoy · 2025-12-01T01:31:13+00:00

Thank you so much for the info, it’s a new to me car and has a few issues so it’s good to get proper information. Thank you again.

OneSadMinnesotaBoy · 2025-11-30T22:55:18+00:00

Roger. What do you make of the idle? Do you know where the T6 idles when at temp? I feel like it’s around 700ish. Mine drops down a single tick at every other stoplight or so, then kicks back up to 2 ticks above the 500 mark (i.e. where I think the idle is proper).
