coolant boiling over
Absolutely - we have already had the joy and sorrow of short term subaru ownership on the forum, it was painful for all

coolant boiling over
Excellent - glad you caught it before something warped Good that your mechanic will be flushing also to ensure no airlocks which can also stop the flow

coolant boiling over

coolant boiling over
It could be the thermostat in the coolant loop is defective so the coolant is not flowing around the engine,heat is being transferred through the block to the radiator and the liquid is then boiling forcing the cap to release the pressure. What I would advise is taking it very easy with the car until this is resolved as you could end up damaging the engine This is what one looks like - don't cost a huge amount of money but if they don't work your coolant doesn't flow http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Thermostat-for-Subaru-Impreza-92-11-/380608029856?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3ASubaru|Model%3AImpreza&hash=item589e01a4a0

whats better coilovers or springs and shocks
The latest cossie imprezas have bilstein shocks with eibach springs, have run konis and eibachs in the past, used daily but it was a firm ride but ok on the lowest damping setting on the highest it was rock but the car did corner like it was on rails

^^^^ thats true, and a fuse under the bonnet not far from the battery is good to protect the kit

help advice for my install
Had a quick look and you should be able to wire up the whole system including a sub using the jbl gto4000 amp that is in the link you posted. I like JBL kit never had any problems with it good solid sound and JBL - 'Just !Removed! lLud!' 'nuff said The 6x9 speakers you have, from what I have found, are 2 ohms so depending what the rating of the sub is you run the risk of overloading the amp if you choose to bridge in conjunction with the four speakers as it specifies a minimum of 2 ohms per speaker line so if you then bridge the rear connections using the subwoofer it could take it below 2ohms So if it was me I would have that amp doing the four speakers - at 2 ohms that will give you a constant 75w of sound power, with the 937's being able to handle 100w constant that should give a nice sound. Whatever you go for upfront you can go 2 or 4 ohm, 4 ohm will give you slightly less constant power at 50w but you may prefer that if they are closer to you Let us know what the other amp is and I can do some more digging

help advice for my install
it depends on the amps you have what are the make and model numbers so I can do a bit of digging..? it shouldn't kill your battery if you are driving about what I found was key to a good install was good cable to supply and a really good earth, even on the head unit the standard little earth wires just meant the head unit ran hot matching the speakers to the amps will help with signal / energy transfer so if you have a selection of 6x9's see what the impedance is, probably 2, 4, or 8 ohms then see what your amps can handle with subs as well as matching to the amps think about how you will mount them - a good ported box with a smaller sub can sound a lot better than a behemoth just bolted to the rear shelf

castrol magnatec 10w-40 part synthetic
Was on another forum and this topic came up apparently part synth is different to semi synth as it is a mixture of fully synth and some semi synth
