Now moving on to FAST-2

Its called FAST-II and below are links to download it. There is also a tutorial on how to install the cd, run the program, and use the search feature.



Before you start please read this:

1) This does not run on 64-bit Operating Systems. .. Deal with it..
---- VMware / Windows XP on Windows 7 64.
---- Or.. Microsoft Virtual PC (XP-Mode) works with Pro/Ultimate but there are guides to modify the install for Home Premium
2) This does not work for "most" CDM/Canadian VIN's... However that being said.. out of 15 CDM VIN's that I put in only 1 came up...
3) No BC / Gen 1 available
4) You can do either VIN search or MODEL search.

.ISO file mounted and ready to use.

Select option 2). from the list [Setup]


Select the Browse button for 1st CD ROM


Browse to the mounted .ISO file. This is where you can choose which version or region of FAST-II you can use. You can repeat this step
and load other .ISO files for the 2nd, 3rd & 4th CD-ROM for FAST-II to use.


CD location set. Press OK.

VIN search:

Select option 1). from the list [Retrieve Part Number]


FAST II is open. Notice all of the fields are blank and most of the tool bar options are greyed out..


Click on the VIN field and type in your VIN number and press the ENTER key.


Note all of the fields are now populated with their respective information.

Model search:

Note:
1) Anything in RED is NOT a valid option. You will get an error if you try to use that combination.
2) You dont need to fill out all of the fields. You can be general.


Select option 1). from the list [Retrieve Part Number]


Click the ? and select your model.


Choose your year.


Choose your body style.


Choose you engine.


Choose your drive type. FWD / AWD


Choose your trim.


Choose your suspension.

Lets Find A Part Number:
Now that we have our car identified, lets find some part numbers. This process is how to find a part "Visually" rather then directly.

Select the "Illustrated Index" option from the tool bar.


Select the category you would like to view. You can also choose multiple categories if you want.


Select the item you want by left clicking on it. Use the tool bar "Jump" option to navigate between pages.


Select the "Illustrations" option from the tool bar.


WOW look at the diagram..


Move the "LEFT & RIGHT" keys to select the part you would like. Once you hit Enter you can set the Quantity (QTY) and then press enter.


Once selected it turns RED!

And now the MAGIC button (F5) or in the toolbar "Translate" which is some SUBARU secret code for PART NUMBER!


And there you have it! A freaking part number for a EZ30D seal You can see how this system works.


Parts Description Search.
I'm not going to go into much detail.. The system works like this: 1st Category is the main search. 2nd is to specify and 3rd is if you need even more detail to describe your search.

So in this example I will do something as simple as 1st Category "HEAD" and this will give me all the parts associated with the word 'head'. So items like bolts, valves, rockers, etc. will come up in the search..

Another example: 1st Category "BRAKE", 2nd Category "PLATE" and this should bring up a list associated with Backing Plates.


Select F3 or Toolbar "Part Name"


Categories.. Type in what you want. Keep it simple.. BRAKE / HEAD / RADIATOR


All items associated with the word "HEAD". Left click to add QTY. Right click to subtract QTY.


Part highlighted. If you want a parts diagram of your item, click the "illustration" button (1). If not you can click "Translate" (2) and you're done.


Parts diagram: Your part is highlighted in "GREEN" and again you can move left and right and choose a part.

Done :-D
