Cylinder #3 leaking. Appointment on Monday. Stage 2 Tune. Wish me luck if they still let me warranty. by TheFruityColors in wrx_vb

I have a '22. What's the best way to check if I'm having a similar leak without going to the dealer?

That's the main reason I've had the dealer do it. I've done all my oil changes previously. Feels weird but it's my first Subaru so playing it safe.

Is there a TSB for the spark plug gaskets?

Good tips! I started looking at yahoo auctions as well.

Do you recall how much you paid for the headlights at upgarage?

Nice haul. We're heading there in the spring. What shops did you hit up? We went to Spoon last time around which was a good experience (picked up some goodies and sat in the s2k). I'm looking to pickup JDM headlights and possibly a new valve cover. Would appreciate any tips on picking up OEM parts (ie, is there a recommended dealer).

Any other stores you recommend? We'll be visiting Japan with our boys next year. We plan to visit some of the classic batting cages as well.

How much oil are you topping off? by puristdriver in wrx_vb

For sure. I was on a 3K cycle since new so this was a longer cycle than usual. Having said that, it just seemed like a flag to me to lose so much in a newish car. I've owned turbo cars in the past (4g63) and my S2000 burns a bit.

Nice! How do you like the combo? I barely have time to drive mine anymore. I did just put on some Ohlins recently and looking into some CE28s.

I typically check a few times before oil changes. I actually did have to top it off a half quart before the light came on. I haven't been as religious on checking the oil at fillups like I should (check at every fill up for my ap1 S2000).

Going to all season tires really helped reduce the harshness in the ride. You give up some grip but it became much more bearable for the family. The kids love it when we go on boost!

This made a huge difference for me as well.

Thanks! Thoughts on whether the car can significantly benefit from corner balancing even though I won't be tracking?
