fwa's '97 Legacy wagon, update: The final chapter.

[dynonacht]

Check the charging voltage

[fwa2500]

I have and everything reads normal, no idea what happened, but it hasn't happened again since then (haven't replaced anything yet either). I swear my car just has mood swings.

-------------

Clock hit 222,222 miles with the trip at 123.4 right next to Montgomery Inn (a mildly famous restaurant) in Cincinnati on my way home from work tonight.

Granted, the body is still ~6k less than that, but still...

Wintermode ver. 2!

Now if only we had some snow...

[fwa2500]

Made some room...

Oooo....shiny.

Also replaced the MAF sensor and put on my surprisingly clean junkyard belt cover off a '95 Impreza.

Still need to do the coolant temp sensor though...


Side note, the tyres rock. Hands down the best I've driven with in both snow and heavy rain.

I just did the alternator on my wagon too. My friend that was helping grabbed a can of clear coat and sprayed it to see how long it will stay shiny.

Those winter shots look great. Your car always looks nice & tidy.

[fwa2500]

Parked until further notice, there is something really screwy going on with the front right. At first I thought it was the CV boot again, but it isn't split yet, cracking but not split...

I think it knows it is being replaced....

[r3v_v3ng3]

:( Hope you figure it out

[lord flashheart]

Bummer brah.

[Huffer]

Keep me posted man. I would LOVE to get back into a 2nd gen, especially my spiritual twin.

[fwa2500]

I will for sure! Once I find out what exactly went wrong and how much it will cost to fix I'll figure out which way this thing is going.

[lord flashheart]

My vote is for all out trackstar

[Tylerhartman]

RIP :( If you end up parting it out let me know.

[fwa2500]

So others may live.

The final chapter, the elephant has gone to a new home where it will help three more wagons continue to live and where the sweet JDM bits will be enjoyed once again. It is sad to see it go but it had to be done, nothing good would come of it sitting any longer at the bottom of the driveway rotting away. Goodbye, White Elephant, you were a good car, may your parts live on in others for many years to come.

Bye wagon, you'll be missed.
