Subaru....it's a sickness

[2deadlegs]

Well I was poking around on ebay the other day and bought yet another Subaru legacy.


1993 Legacy sedan $200.00

Now I just have to go and pick it up..It's ony a few states away. Runs and drives great. Just makes a funny noise. All Roos make funny noises.

Yup, loud valves, that's all...

:roll:

The guy thinks it is in the tranny but he doesn't really know.

Well, currently, my car makes a

'NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!' at startup, which is actually the bendix bolt failing to retract into the starter, and occasionally, it'll hang out on the TC just a tad, to the point where I can feel it rob my power. That could be a possibility.. it makes a fair enough noise that it would alarm the unknowing..

Though, no one's ever said it sounded "wierd" lol. :twisted:

New member to harass for 1st gen parts, deadlegs :D

[gator gt]

way to instigate Mark.

:lol:

yes, owning Subarus is a sickness, one that I was stricken with once I bought my Legacy in 2003. This was supposed to be a stepping stone from my Jeep Cherokee (which really needed to GO!) until Mitsubishi brought over RalliArt editions of the EVO to compete with the STi......seeing as if that never happened, I started to take a liking to the Legacy and can't see myself going for the 3-pointed star ever.

sickness? yes.
curable? no.

I did it again last night. I bought yet another Subaru. This one is a 96 AWD Impreza 2dr. Has almost 200K on the clock but I only paid $700 for it. I will be taking delivery of it within the next few days.

I will post pics when I get them.


I still haven't picked up my 93 in AL or bought the 93 turbo localy. I do think I scored us a new member though. He has a sweet WRX.

[Wiscon_Mark]

You wanna send that impreza up my way?? :lol:

[2deadlegs]

If you get a jobby job you too can buy lots of Subarus. LOL. I'll sell it to you when I am done with it.

For some reason the owner took off all the side moldings......weird.

[Wiscon_Mark]

The side moldings are a different color...maybe he didn't want the 2 tone effect.

[2deadlegs]

The impreza guy backed out stating that he was drunk when he quoted me the price. He will be sorry.....

[2deadlegs]

The 93 finally came at 3:00am. The noise is bad wheel bearings. Good thing I didn't try to drive it from AL to FL.

Dual legacy pics coming soon.

too bad about the impreza.... you could have hooked it up like this....

yes, that roof scoop is made out of bondo...

[2deadlegs]

The impreza I was going to get was a 2DR.

[Wiscon_Mark]

2DR imprezas Kick ass! Wish they still made em....

That Impreza ^^^ is the biggest joke....

Well I got the new legacy sedan this morning. Parked it in the driveway and went to bed. Came out this morning to a puddle of trany fluid in the driveway.
I proceed to jack the car up and put it on stands so I can start her up and put it in drive to try and find the noise. Guess what....my tranny is shot. It's internal and it doesn't sound good.

I have an idea...check the drivetrain threads.

ouch...
