Bubba must not know the FA doesn’t use cork gaskets, just lots and lots of RTV. Everywhere. And there are groves for the excess RTV to go and they suck to clean. And you spends hours with a brass bristled brush and some brake clean scrubbing these groves. You begin to question the meaning of owning Subaru’s. But then you remember you can’t bare the thought of being seen in a Miata.
