Exhaust manifolds? Maybe they meant head gaskets, even then few 2002s have that issue.   2000 was the first model year for that body style, by 2002 they had ironed out most issues. We have a 2002 Legacy L that has been reliable.   -juice
#9523 of 11722 Plus Sizing by fibber2 Jan 05, 2004 (12:12 pm)
Michael,   Assuming they would fit (and I don't believe anything bigger than 235mm would), it is the wrong way to go for bite in snow.   Steve

To my knowledge, the rear seats do not fold in 2000-2003 Legacys. It does have a small pass thru for skis & stuff.   Jim 2000 Legacy sedan

Something we will check on the US-spec 2005s at Detroit!   -juice
#9526 of 11722 Fold down seats by jfl Jan 05, 2004 (2:21 pm)
Yeah, I sure hope Subaru starts to include them. I'm sure there are people who remove Subie sedans from consideration because of it.   Jim
#9527 of 11722 Chains by paisan Jan 05, 2004 (4:04 pm)
according to the subaru owners manual, i believe that they are supposed to go on the fronts. Why? Cause when you are turning the rear wheels gripping, aren't gonna help you turn, yes they'll help you GO, but not turn however.   I'd put em on both, but if I had to choose 1, I'd do front.   -mike
#9528 of 11722 Kumho Tires by scarwaf Jan 06, 2004 (9:25 pm)
I needed to replace tires on my 01 VDC Outback. I was going to purchase Michelin's at Costco at $149.00 a pop but before I did I went into the Tirerack site and did some research on Kumho's. I found that the Kumho's were an excellent tire. I had Michelin's before and they never really gave me great wear and ride. The Kumho's were $70.00 a pop installed and balanced at my local tire store. I've had them for 6 months and have driven in all kinds of weather and they're proving to be excellent. In 10 days I'll be driving up the California coast to Oregon. I'll cut across the Siskiyou Mts. picking up I-5 and heading south to Medford and Ashland, then continuing to Sacramento. I'll cut across the Sierras to Lake Tahoe and then picking up 395 (eastern Sierras) I'll head home to So. CA. This should be a good test for my tires. Tomorrow I head for the LA Auto Show.
#9529 of 11722 Which Kumhos? by paisan Jan 06, 2004 (9:52 pm)
I'm not a big fan of them as street tires. They get very plasticy after about 10K miles and about 6 months.   -mike
#9530 of 11722 element antenna isssues by hoodatbe Jan 07, 2004 (6:20 am)
hi guys - so i am *loving* my new outback ltd except for one thing. the element antenna gets terrible reception! its fine if i am in town, on top of a hill, but for the majority of my commute i am on country rds, in and out of the little valleys in the blue ridge mtn foothills. my old power antenna certainly did way better in this country. is there any way to optimize the painted on one that came with the car or am i stuck (yeah, poor me) listening to cd's? any ideas, subaru crew? mucho gracias - b
#9531 of 11722 Kumhos by nygreg Jan 07, 2004 (9:10 am)
I have them installed on my OB (ECSTA H4) on reviews from Tirerack and a knowledgeable collegue. I am approaching the 10K / 6 months as mentioned by Mike. So far, so good. No pulling, very smooth. Wear is still a question. Not as responsive as the Sport A2s I had on prior, but, the Sports wore poorly. My plan is to ride them out this winter and hopefully buy snow tires for next year. BTW, need to rotate them this week.   Greg
