#5745 of 6715 Re: K&N Typhoon Air Intake [turfdawg] by bluesubie Feb 07, 2005 (11:40 am)
Replying to: turfdawg (Feb 05, 2005 2:23 pm) After running performance air filters since '98, I'm switching back to OEM. I've used an Amsoil foam filter in my FXT, former WRX and former Outback Sport (same size fit all three). I put a K&N panel filter in my wife's OB.   I feel that there has been a slight improvement in turbo spool up with the Amsoil in my FXT, but more dirt is getting into the engine. I've done a few used oil analysis' on my car and my wife's OB to back this up. Part of it could be that there is not a proper seal around the filter too.   No problems with the dealer. My dealer is sensible about things like that so YMMV. Adverse affects would be more dirt getting into your engine (and foam is supposed to filter better than cotton gauze).   -Dennis

Replying to: atlgaxt (Feb 07, 2005 10:49 am) Don't feel bad. I paid $24,500 for a base XT with the only add on being an alarm. I bought right after I read the Car and Driver article when they were brand new on the market. Combine that with New England dealers that wouldn't negotiate and I paid too much!

...got rid of my 2000 Forester S; got a 2005 Forester XT 5 speed with PP today. Just a hair over 24K. Deals are out there.   Michael

Sweet.   You're meeting Bob out in Baltimore, right? Have fun, I need to spend some time with my famliy, I forgot what they look like!   -juice

Yes Juice, I did meet up with Bob. I got to the Subaru event just at 4 p.m. and saw Bob there. Subaru was nice enough to give out cool thermos styled coffee mugs. After the 15 minute speech from the paid model, everyone that was invited was allow total access to the Tribeca.   Have fun with your family...those strangers that reside in your house and eat all of your food!   Michael
#5750 of 6715 Hellllooo? by jumper3 Feb 22, 2005 (10:11 am)
Helllooo, anyone still out there? Is it just my computer or have all new postings stopped since Feb 12? I've lurked on this forum for over a year and enjoyed the discussions(occasionally adding my 2cents)but am puzzled by the sudden vacuum. Send up a flare someone if I'm not all alone.
#5751 of 6715 OK, here ya go... by rsholland Feb 22, 2005 (10:13 am)
From someone over at nabisco (and cross-posted from the Future Models thread):   The subaru tech school informed our techs that they will have 6 speeds available for the new Forester AND legacy lineup for 2006.   I'll try and get more details...   STi versions?!?!?!   Bob
#5752 of 6715 New Topic by ateixeira Feb 22, 2005 (10:13 am)
OK, new potential topic - some rumors say a 6 speed will be available in the Forester. If so the XT seems like the most likely candidate.   Funny thing is I expected a 5EAT first, maybe we'll get both?   -juice
#5753 of 6715 I think... by rsholland Feb 22, 2005 (10:18 am)
when you hear rumors coming from the Subaru "Tech School," there's a pretty good chance they are true.   Bob Replies to this message: ateixeira (Feb 22, 2005 10:19 am)

Replying to: rsholland (Feb 22, 2005 10:18 am) Your post came in as I was composing mine. hee hee   6 speed - does that mean a new model is coming? STi? They've sold in Japan before.   -juice
