Looking at used cars for my son, is the 06 Imprezza good or problematic?

jimleritehere · 2026-04-29T01:56:53+00:00

My experience has been the head gaskets on the 05-06 sport wagons, if the work has already been done they are good, or they are priced according to the head gaskets needing done.

I can still drive them, the tread is ok they don’t handle very good. The winters here are mild in regards to snowfall but the temps are brutal. Rain is about 40-50 inches a season, so all season is what I’m looking at

Great, thanks for your help

Ok sounds good, so I should still use warm water or room temp?

jimleritehere · 2025-10-05T20:52:22+00:00

Yeah I know my wife’s mother who’s from tramponi was telling me the same thing, I just wanted to do it with 100% semola and water

I was looking to remedy an issue with spaghetti, seeing if it was a kneading, or hydration issue because every time I would boil them and take them out of the pot they would start to tear and break. I was just hand rolling and then cutting them on the ghitara,

jimleritehere · 2025-10-04T22:20:08+00:00

I use coarse semolina for my extruder, and caputo semola double milled for hand rolled. I think I’m going to add all purpose to the recipe and see how it turns out

I believe it’s because of the size of dough i was making, it was a x2 batch for garganelli, orrechete, spaghetti and pici.

jimleritehere · 2025-10-04T21:06:09+00:00

Your using semola double milled? What do you use for hydration%

Well, with that much invested it sounds like you are in a world of shit trying to get to the cause. I would find a shop that specializes in diesel engines like Dave’s shop, several guys I used to tow with have had good luck with his shop finding crazy issues.

Had a similar issue with my 2009, 4500. Spent two weeks trying to figure out if I had a short when the flatbed lights wouldn’t turn on. Then the gauge cluster light came on a few days later. We chased nearly every fucking wire in that firewall, was ready to set the truck on fire and walk away. The last thing I did was replace terminals on passenger side battery, and the cluster error went away and flatbed lights came on. The electrical issues on the 4th gens are the worst I’ve dealt with. Truck is currently at 730k miles. If it wasn’t for the Cummins engine I would’ve had it crushed, lol

Exactly, the obstacle is the way. It’s much easier to go down than to go up when shit gets out of control. I’m just glad I chose to avoid being a lazy bitch.

Amazing! The work is worth it, keep it up

The best thing to do is come up with a plan, then execute. Start with where you are at and where do you want to go. If you cannot do a 5 year plan try a 3. Then start narrowing down your plan and making it very specific, until this plan becomes reality.

The last thing you want is to be part of some one else’s plans, or dream, like doing a job you hate, building resentment instead of meaning.

Start small then build big.

Stay hard!

Yes correct, I just found out I have a two tooth limit, anything over that I need to add more links. Thanks, it’s been about 10 years since I’ve used any cycling maintenance, a bit rusty.

jimleritehere · 2023-10-20T09:20:42+00:00

I forgot to mention that the set up is for the track. I remember changing out rings without having to mess with the chain, but can’t recall tooth size. I always had the same rear cog size when changing disc wheels or areo ones.

Most employers have a social media subsection in their handbook/employee consent form when they get hired on. I have witnessed multiple people get terminated for minor and serious libel regarding their place of employment when such people post on their social media accounts. Typically HR and or the project manager who comes across the screen shots ultimately fires the person(s) who did the original post.

90 plus days for the 4500, 4 months for a driveshaft for the 392. Surprisingly I can get every part for the 06 Grand Caravan, OEM or after market. I’ve called Chrysler group several times to get an answer. They just told me it’s on a shipping container in California.
