unless you have an STi

Do you recommend a certain brand for the fluid? I was thinking about going redline. And also, how often should I do the rear diff? Do I need to do a front diff too?

moving to san diego, got some questions

Hey guys in about a month or so i will be living in san diego.. anyone know of a good subaru performance shop? i used to goto LIC motorsports in norcal, but now i need a new place. i prefer not going to the dealer.

i need a shop that does routine maintenance, oil changes, mods, etc.

at this point i cannot think of a good place.. are there any good subaru only shops? or shops that do a lot of subaru related work?


thanks a lot guys, cant wait to goto meets in SoCal.. aka my original home (originally from OC and Rancho Cucamonga)
