Hey, everyone post a thing or 2 that you can do to your Subaru that not everyone always knows about, or things your Subaru does, or things about your Subaru.

1 - Day Time Running Lights, can be disconnected from the glove box.
2 - Imprezas have parking lights on the steering column, so that your car will not get hit if it is in a dark area. (makes your car visible)
3 - All your exterior lights shut off, once you remove your key from the ignition
4 - If you do not close your gas cap tightly, you can get a Check Engine Light
5 - One way to get rid of a Check Engine Light is to disconnect one of the battery terminals and then reconnect it.
6 - Rear seat doesn't fold down, but can be taken out easily by two bolts below the seats.
7 - If your Subaru is still under warranty, Subaru road side assistance gives you 2 gallons of fuel for free, if you run out.
8 - Rays makes our stock wheels.
9 - The 4EAT has a 40/60 Front/Rear Torque Split, while the MT has a 50/50.
10 - The hole cut out thing in the bumper on the passenger side, is for a tow hook (which is in your Subaru tool kit).

you can submerge a wrx up to the windows while crossing a river and it will still run fine (as long as its not too wide)

 

really?

 

well i drove through a river about 15 feet wide and the water came over the hood and up to the windows and it pulled through it no problem, then i had to come back through it again and no problems on the return trip

 

You got lucky, if water went into your intake and flooded your engine you would be in trouble. I wouldn't do that again if I were you ......

 

i know what the consequences were. i didn't say it was a smart thing to do.


i thought it wasn't gonna be that deep when i started to cross it, it scared the hell out of me.

i was hesitant to come back through, but i had no choice, i had to

 

2 words for ya: BRASS *****

 

^^^^
Ditto.....but that's awesome that you made it through! How many cars do you know that can do that lol

lets not get off topic, lets donate some information!!

 

The cup holder with a square end in front of the hand brake is a perfect fit for square japanese bottles.

 

Ok ... uum how about this one:
On the 4EAT, if you get a flat, don't forget to pull out the fuse to make your car a FWD and then mount the spare. That way you won't damage your AWD system. Also it is better to make sure you mount the donut in the rear (that means swapping with a good rear if you have a front flat).
Manual owners just swap and drive away

I know at least my 04 wrx has a spare thats the same diameter as all the other tires so it doesn't affect the AWD system. I assumed it would be true for all subarus.
