So would crosstrek coilovers fit the imp without any extra modifications?

edit: if it makes a difference the height range is only +/- 0.5" over stock

Crosstreck coilovers SHOULD fit the impreza without any modifications since they are the same chassis. Height range will differ between manuf., so look at the specs on how much they drop at the highest setting. Because we're nearly 2~3" lower than a XV, I'm sure you will be able to set stock height.....

The BC coilovers w/ swift springs is only $1300 or so. I say "only" because plenty of WRX coilovers are 2-3k or even higher. Their drop is 2.5-3.5" on the XV so it would be +/- 0.5" on the Impreza. Again, I probably won't buy them, at least not any time particularly soon, but they're an option in the future.

Anyone know if dieseldorf died? He's been really quiet

Default whining sound at higher fan speeds

my fan with my HVAC system has developed a high pitched whine at medium to high speeds on my 2012 Limited ... i think its there for all of the higher speeds but the loudness of the fan at higher levels can drown out the high pitched sound.

it's not terribly loud but annoying if i don't have the radio on (sometimes off if my special needs daughter is in a bad state and wants the music off :\)...

any thoughts on what this might be and if there is any easy fix or diagnosis? it's definitely livable because i usually have the fan at low levels and when it's hot in summer, i have it cranked high. but i am concerned that in time it will get worse...

(wish i had the exact count, but if the fan has 9(?) speeds, it is audible for speeds 5-6, and then 7-9 its drowned out by the fan's white noise and isn't evident for speeds 1-4)

What kind of whine? Video will be helpful.

Try pulling your glove box and inspect the cabin air filter, and manually spin the blower fan.

The whine could be mechanical or PWM-induced.

PWM will usually have a fixed frequency but the character of the tone will change with power. This noise can originate from the blower motor, the control module or even the speakers. It's usually most pronounced around 50% power, like you've noted.

A loose winding in the motor can turn it into a speaker. If it is PWM noise at the motor and the motor is otherwise OK, you can add parallel capacitance to smooth the supplied power.

Oh god, I got a good look at my paint in the afternoon sun today. It looks worse than I thought. Doesn't NXT Tech Wax fill swirls a bit?

Speaking of rock chips, paint, and bad drivers, who wants a close up picture of my front bumper? I sure don't ***128514;***128577; Dark grey doesn't hide things too well.

I guess it's what I get for joining the clusterf**k that is I-95 rush hour, before the congestion while everyone's still doing 80. I'll be damned if there's more than a 1 second gap in front of me, it'll get filled instantly.

I have a 2012 sport limited w/CVT approaching 100k miles. So last night i exited a highway sitting at traffic light. All of the sudden my check engine lights up, the AT TEMP light, cruise starts to flash, ABS lights up. I park it for a half hour fire it up the AT TEMP light is off but the rest remain lit up. This morning i fire it up and the check engine is lit up, then went out. Take to dealer because I got the 5yr 100k ext warranty and I have 99,287 miles on the odometer. I'M GETTING A NEW CVT TRANSMISSION for $100.00!!deductibe!!! the dealer paid for a rental from enterprise also.

Wow almost 100k miles on the CVT. And it gets replaced for 100 bones. Awesome!

I drive mine pretty hard, always engine braking and downshifting. I wonder how long it will last.

When the mods remove posts from these forums, why don't they at least private message the parties involved? That would be courteous.

I'm guessing the language in the image violated forum rules, but several innocuous posts were deleted as well.

They PM'd me, explaining why they removed the post and my infractions for the post.

Yup, language in the image violated forum rules. Oh well... lesson learned.

Pick up one on ebay... they go for under $700. Subaru will try to charge you several thousand for a new one plus a day worth of labor.

Oh I see ... I never saw the image and my posts unrelated to the image were deleted, but I can see where the mods just wanted to clean some things up while they were doing post deletes since my post was not Subaru car related and was somewhat insulting to a forum member. I have no problem with the deletions I just think it would be nice to be told that it happened just so that I'm not left baffled. Thanks.
