Well, several weeks on, I've gotten as far into my 90K tune-up as I expect to. I replaced the fuel filter (w/Bosch), pulled some manky looking "Autolite" plugs out, installed NGK "V-Power" plugs, and installed a K&N filtercharger. My 93 5-speed TURBO sedan is running better and maybe even sounding a little better! Thanks for the pointers- they made replacing the plugs and fuel filter doable for a guy who had never even changed his own oil (the local oil&filter change is only $14- no labor charge!).
Now, does anyone have any recommendations for reasonably-priced performance rotors? Mine are in pretty rough shape (thanks, I think, to improperly torqued wheels), and I'd prefer to upgrade rather than replace worn parts when feasable.
Thanks-

>>>(the local oil&filter change is only $14- no labor charge!).<<<
let me think...
$4 for a Subaru oil filter -- $4
$1.25 per qt. of Mobil 1, 5 qts -- $6.25
I don't charge myself for labor....
soooooo... $10.25 for 20 minutes worth of work. 30 if i've been drinkin. And
it's fun. =)

YES, inquiring minds would like to know??? Is this just conventional Mobil,
or Synthetic? I know I can get the conventional stuff, which is pretty good
if you ask me, for like 99 cents.

Don't get drilled. Get slotted. Everyone I have ever heard of with x drilled rotors have had to replace them earlier than a stock rotor.

Well, several weeks on, I've gotten as far into my 90K tune-up as I expect to. I replaced the fuel filter (w/Bosch), pulled some manky looking "Autolite" plugs out, installed NGK "V-Power" plugs, and installed a K&N filtercharger. My 93 5-speed TURBO sedan is running better and maybe even sounding a little better! Thanks for the pointers- they made replacing the plugs and fuel filter doable for a guy who had never even changed his own oil (the local oil&filter change is only $14- no labor charge!).
Now, does anyone have any recommendations for reasonably-priced performance rotors? Mine are in pretty rough shape (thanks, I think, to improperly torqued wheels), and I'd prefer to upgrade rather than replace worn parts when feasable.

I did it!
I had the rotors turned and new factory pads replaced about 3500
miles
ago and a few are warped already hadn't thought of torque on the lug
nuts? Seems that a lot of people have different ideas on what rotors
to use the last I heard was that Xdrilled would not warp but didn't
last as long. I could live with this if it is true. One thing I did
hear about was that some dealers of Ford and Jeep turn the rotors on
the car. The wheel is removed and a machine is fastened to the
suspension and to the spindle and a grinding wheel device grinds the
rotor from outer edge to the inner edge on both sides seems to me
that
this would be a good method and might even cost less. Anyone else
heard of this?

Barrett, Sam
I did it!
Sounds ghetto to me. I mean think about it. If the rotors warp and a machine just grinds the outer surfact flat, that doesn't set them straight symetrically. It just leaves you with a 2 flat surfaces. I'll have to look at my rotors when I get home to confirm my theory. If your rotors are just solid discs it might work just fine. But if your rotors have spacers of any kind between the surfaces I know for a fact that method wouldn't work. Interesting. I'll look into this when I get home.

I did it!
What they were talking about was a method that would use the spindle
on the car rather than a spindle on the machine as a reference point
when grinding to true the rotors this would make a more accurate
surface on both sides. I can see where this could be true but I am
also wondering if it is such a good idea why aren't more makes or
dealers be doing it?

I did it!
Yes, facing the rotors in place using the cars own power to turn the
rotors, is a common procedure... particularly for FWD vehicles,
possibly some 4WD vehicles... and would probably work on a Sub AWD...
I think!
