The color in the #1039 photo is actually the Timberline Green. The car was somewhat in the shade and reflecting the trees, so it appears dark in the original photo too, but at least you can tell its green! Laptops aren't the best things to scan photos into... - ash |

Indeed, folks, welcome Patti from the Subaru Team. She's agreed to offer a bit of inside perspective for us, thanks to some lobbying by our host Bonnie. A couple of etiquette suggestion, if I may. Let's not kill the messenger, be friendly, and understand she can't reveal every trade secret they have. Or can you?  That should be easy with this group, Patti. You'll find friendly, helpful folks with a good attitude about their Subarus. ash: send me some new photos, with the tint and all. I can resize them to fit. I'm updating my pages now, because... Yahoo! The dual cup holder from the 2001 Forester DOES FIT the earlier models. Did this myself yesterday, in about 45 minutes. With a few tips I'll share on my web site, you can do it in 30 minutes or less. The 3rd bolt was a pain to get to, I didn't even know it was there! It was $15.20 from Darlene. Also got the leather shift knob for the manual tranny for $30. It just screws right on, and the boot pops onto the bottom of it. Looks stock. Took about 1 minute to install. Photos coming soon. -juice |

As far as secrets. . . we'll see. Since you all appear to be such dedicated owner's, I'll do my best to get an okay to share things with you ASAP! Once again, thanks for the warm welcome! |

These may belong in the Mods topic, but they tend to focus on "performance", so I'll post here as well. As promised, here are instructions to add the dual cup holder to pre-2001 Foresters. I believe it may also fit the Impreza and Outback Sport, since they have essentially the same dash. Also, here are my new shift knob, windflector, and watch. Check it out, folks! I'm once again collecting Crew member photos for another "friends" page. Please e-mail me with a photo of you and your Subaru if you'd like to be included. -juice |

still waiting for my new subie(blue RS) here is a pic of my 1980 honda civic CVCC with 17" rims.. - to quote juice - "Mark: Wow, 17" on a CVCC?! They've got to be worth more than the car! Wild!" Yes the car was bought for 250$ and the rims were $900!  some of the mods include: shaved door handles, custom molded wing, custom molded fender flares, shaved roof gutters, shaved license plate lights, shaved side markers, shaved side/door moldings, shaved mirrors, custom exhaust, 17" CEC rims, Accel wires, carbon fiber steering wheel, Billet grill, Del-Sol seats . I plan to have my subi with this many mods by 2001.. juice thank you for the response to my post. §. MÄRK |

| How do you open the doors to your Civic? Is there a sylenoid and pops it open when you press a button on the key fob? | |
|
my alarm has an auxilary button. if I tap the button it opens the driver door, If I hold the button down it opens passenger door. If i lock my keys in car or battery dies. I have a key on the Hatch. there are (magnetic) solenoids welded into both doors which pop when activated and pull the door latch's open. there are also spring loaded "door poppers" mounted at the edge of both doors which sort of launch the door's open (about 2 feet open) Its kinda fun to see people freak out when they see my door open without me touching anything. next project for this car after my subie arrives is suicide doors. .. I am not selling this car. but after that mod . my subie will get some of its own. but Ill save that for the modifications page. MÄRK |

NICE photo! We share a fondness for the famous chameleon green (a thread somewhere in the Station Wagons active or archived topics). My wife's Timberline Green Pearl GT is photo #3! ..Mike Smith |

I've been following this board for several months now and am getting close to finally taking the 'Roo plunge myself. I think you've all convinced me that a Subaru owner is a happy owner. My choices have been narrowed down to either an Outback or Forester (like many other posts I've read). I hope to buy new, but since this would be my first car over $3500 I'm still trying to get over that sticker shock! Any comments about why buying new is worth the money are appreciated (to convince me to take the plunge) I plan to go do some test driving over the weekend.So sorry for the long intro....onto my question. I remember reading about a "free maintenance" deal that was available to IMBA or ACA members. Since I'm a member of neither of these groups, I'm wondering if anyone knows if there are any requirements on either of these programs to be eligible for their member benefits. I'm planning to buy within the next month or so, so I don't want to pay the money to join one of these groups just to have them tell me that I can't take advantage of the Subaru maintenance deal until I've been a member for 6 months. Anyone have any first-hand experience with either group? Thanks to all the members of this board for providing great car buying info. It's nice to get opinions and info straight from consumers instead of from a dealer. Oh, and I went ahead and signed up for my MBNA Subaru card the other day too! Maybe when I'm ready to buy that new MY03 I'll have enough credits racked up.... |
