What services should I prioritize now that I have a bit of money?

I've got a 2020 base Impreza, had it about a year and a half now. I just passed 40k miles but I was broke for a while for some medical bills. Now I've got some money and have a budget of about $600 this month to spend on the car.

Last time I got an oil change, here is what I was told needed to be done; brake pads/rotors, brake fluid, CVT fluid change, and differential fluid changes.

Obviously I don't have enough to do all of that immediately, I do plan to do it all within the next few months. But for this month, which of those should I prioritize right now? I'm thinking brakes and brake fluid are top priority, then differentials and then CVT?

2024 Impreza

Just purchased last month. A week or so ago, it seems like I'm pulling to the left ever so slightly while driving? Could alignment be off?

Any cheap junkyard part recs?

I plan on visiting a junkyard to find interior parts for my ā€˜11 Impreza, is there anything in particular that could make the car look better in the outside that would be easy to find there?

2013 Subaru Impreza sport premium 2.0l

I have a 2013 Subaru Impreza sport premium 2.0l. The A/c and heater worked on level 1 and 2 and 3 but at 4 the fan stops. As of a few days ago nothing works now, even the a/c wonā€™t turn on or the light on the knob to indicate it was on. This is a manual control panel.

I have done! Checked coolant levels - right below the fill line Checked for leaks -nothing is Checked cabin filter - a bit dirty but cleaned up Changed blower motor resistor - was a a bit rusty so I replaced with a new one! Changed blower motor Switched out a/c compressor relay wasnā€™t bad but did it just in case Checked fuses under dash ( a/c IG 10a both blower 15a) and changed nothing was wrong with them either!

Not sure what else to do or where to look at but weather isnā€™t stopping for know one!

MPG

Dear community, I bought a 2021 Subaru Impreza hatch about 3 months ago. My question is I got the car with 30mpg and right now Iā€™m at 27.7mpg I donā€™t know if itā€™s the weather affecting it or Iā€™m just maybe driving not as conservativly as I should it goes down like 0.1 mpg a day. I live in northeastern PA so a lot of my driving is up and down hills but I am pretty conservative on how much Iā€™m laying onto the gas. Any advice helps

Replaced TPMS sensorsā€¦light still flashing?

Got new tires installed, asked them to fix the flashing TPMS, and they failed to fix them when the tires were put on..so I take the car back, and have new tires taken off, all 4 TPMS stems replaced and re-learned to the vehicleā€¦everything seems fine until today, when the damn light starts flashing again. The light will flash for a while then come on and stay on, and will also randomly go away.

So now itā€™s another trip back to the dealer to get it fixed, yet again.

Has anyone deal with TPMS issues after getting the sensors replaced?

You would think replacing and learning them to the vehicle would fix it, but it seems thereā€™s a larger issue at play.

Good enthusiast brakes?

Replacing things with more performance oriented stuff on my 92x, and I'm in need of some new pads and rotors.

Any suggestions for stuff that's not track level but better then stock stopping power?

Will Impreza Sport gauge faces work with a base Impreza?

Hey all, just got a 2020 Impreza; and I love it so far. But I'd like to change the odometer lights to red. I did some looking around, and found some head/clusters with red colorization instead of the clear/white mine has; but they're from sport trim Imprezas.

Based on a video for installing custom WRX gauge faces, it looks like I should be able to swap the faces out rather than try and recode the cluster. So my first question is, will that work on a 2020 Impreza? And second, are the sport gauge faces compatible with the base Impreza?

Part numbers, for reference:

Sport instrument clusters I found:
85002FL11A
85012FL04B

Recommended base Impreza parts:
85012FL01B
85012FL03B

Are Impreza Sport gauge faces compatible with base Impreza?

Hey all, just got a 2020 Impreza; I'm loving it so far, but I'd like to change the odometer color from white to red. I did some looking around, and found a couple instrument clusters with red gauge faces instead of the white ones, but they're from Impreza sport models. Based off a video for custom WRX odometer faces, it looks like it should be possible to replace just the gauge faces (and save the trouble of reprogramming the cluster). So my first question is, will that work on a 2020 Impreza? Second, are the sport gauge faces compatible with a basic Impreza?

Part numbers, for reference: Sport gauge faces I've found for sale: 8501FL04B 8500FL11A

2017 Imprezza 2.5i premium $18K

With 9K miles on it, really looks like it was only driven to church on Sunday. Would you buy it at $18K?

New wagon club member, 2024 Impreza RS in Crystal Black Silica

Brought this beauty home yesterday, brand new 2024 Impreza RS in Crystal Black Silica with the power seats and Harmon Kardon package. They included all weather floor mats/cargo tray/seat backs, cargo net, clear rear bumper protector, LED dome lights, and they are shipping me mud flaps and window rain guards. It's my fourth Subaru, traded a 2017 WRX for it. Happy to finally be a member of the wagon club!

Any ideas what is leaking here?

I've noticed a leak from the drivers side wheel arch on my 2014 impreza. The fluid has no smell or colour so very well could be water. I recently topped up my screen wash and had my coolant flushed so I'm really worried its developed a coolant leak! Any ideas what could be leaking from this location?

'11 Impeza - Installing Dashcam to Constant Power - Fuse Diagram Question

I am installing a power cable to my Subies fusebox and am considering the options for a fuse that has a constant power supply. I'm pretty set on tapping the camera into the "Door Lock" fuse, but I was hoping to receive some clarification on why two other fuses are colored yellow. A little additional knowledge would be appreciated.

Any ideas what this is? From a ā€˜00 UK 2000 Turbo

UK 2000 turbo for context:

Drove for the first time in a couple weeks, and had to force a stall in first to unfreeze the clutch plate and flywheel.

Didnā€™t sound like anything broke, took it for a 10 min slow drive and everything felt smooth, slightly stronger smell of exhaust fumes than normal (have had a long term small leak near the front thatā€™s been repeatedly patched). Not sure if it fell off before leaving or on return, so could be either middle-to-read leftish or front right-ish (so helpful i know) or just flung out from anywhere lol.

Absolute Hail Mary cope idea is that itā€™s just a random thing that got blown under during this recent storm (Gusts of 70+mph in my area).

Anyway if anyone has any clues or ideas let me know pls ty!!

Ambient Lighting to the max

Probably one of the best thing Iā€™ve done. Night time drives are just so different and chill. Love peopleā€™s reaction when they ride in my car for the first time. šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼

Rear wheel camber adjustment on 07 Impreza wagon?

Recently installed some coilovers for my Impreza and I love how they make the car look, but I'm finding the rear camber to be rather excessive for my taste. The rear always had a bit of camber even on stock suspension, but now that it's lowered I'm a little offput by how it looks. I was wondering if there was any way to adjust that rear camber or if I have to make some changes to the car to get that camber adjustment that I want (I've been told that control arms would be the way to go but I wanted to get second opinions) I'll try to get an image up for the post as soon as I can.
