What have you done to your car today?

[Navi271]

yeah that's very similar, a little more expensive tho!

[mike-tracy]

Picked up a motor I'm going to strip for parts: it's a mishmash: EJ20g block, ej20k heads and ej25d intake manifold. Already sold the block, the heads are for my next build.

[csweston]

It snowed so i drifted it everywhere :D

[ubar legacy]

last night i used my legacy to pull my talon out of the garage in the back yard and also used it to push the talon into the garage! LOL
then today i started tearing shit apart in the talon. getting it ready to pull the engine

What's the diameter of your strut tower brace? :smt017

[superu]

Put the rear strut bar back in, still have to paint it yellow to match the front but for now i don't care. Basically now I'm maintaining the car and not buying anything to mod it, til this summer!

I'd like to see pix of your strut braces, front and rear! Well, you've got a wagon so the rear would probably be different than my sedan application, but I'm still interested none the less.
Can you post measurements, mostly tube diameter for them?
thanks!
I keep on forgetting sorry!!! Maybe tomorrow I'll get to it.
My tailgate got a present today.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/

It's actually much easier to open and close the tail gate now with that bar, more so than I thought it would.


Uhh huh, sure :smt011

Nice on the gate bar! I searched junk yards for a couple years before I finally found one...
still in the shed waiting for time to complete the project ;)

Ooh, pic of the braces and diameters, if they're round... lots are oval, so not useful for my interest. I'm planning to fab one.

cheers!

my exhaust guy (yes I have an exhaust guy) and I were talking after i swapped out my o2 sensor about the busted cat, he was telling me most of the magnaflow cat's that he installs that don't come from his supplier come back in a few months like mine, busted. On the flip side the ones he gets from his parts supplier have the same part numbers as what people bring in but look different on the outside and the don't go bad in 6 months

[httrdd]

Good luck with this one. That is crazy that your cat failed after a short time.

Thanks!!! And yeah.... umm, they're both ovally shaped like, sorry... I'd guess an inch and a half round one would do! but that's just a random guess. COMPLETELY random.

The best part about putting in that bar is I couldn't see what I was doing, screwing it in has to be done all by feel. I got it perfectly level tho! It was my personal "A" for the day.

Also warshed the car for the Iowa subie meet tomorrow. It's so cleeeean! except for the rust spot that continues to grow...

Anyone know how to pop the black foglight covers off of an 03?

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/

I got my foglight tint and I don't have access to my lift this week, so I can't take the entire housing out from under the car. I figured I could pop the black housings off, but when I tried there wasn't much flex to them and I didn't want them to break.

Help!?

[rougeben83]

There's a notch in the inside edge of the cover, use a flat head screwdriver to pop it out.

Oh and my new whiteline lateral links came in today so I can replace the broken noltec link in my leggy this weekend and stop driving the SVX until the snow is finally gone.

And also wired up the SVX power mode for the 4EAT into the manual button on the shifter with a 2 way switch under the dash to flip it back to manual mode if i ever need to pull the TCU trouble codes.

You could join them, but you MUST solder and shrink rap, you cannon just crimp them together. It is probably better in the long run to use one wire, but IMHO not worth it. Just make sure the joint is protected well enough.

Got the motor and auto trans pulled in my 240... now need to clean up the grease mess in the bay and then drop the new motor and 5 speed in! :D

Heh, I purposely left the grease and oil in my engine bay when I had my motor and tranny out. I figured I live in MASS so all the grease would help to protect things from rusting out hard core.

[Dead91silvia]

Hahaha! yeah, I was over there about 2 weeks ago and you guys have crappy cars! I have never seen so much rust in my life! Rust is amazing to see on a car over here before 20 years!

Oh, my 1993 Nissan 240sx is 100% rust free, and so is my GT.... My 77 Rolla I'm selling is 90%... We just dont have much, now my 67 chevy, thats another story... haha

Haha, no it's OBD-I. I'd do a hybrid with USDM WRX heads & OBD-II electrical if I was going to put a motor in my wife's car, lol. To tune this thing, you either need a standalone or a guy to program a chip (or run the stock JDM ECU in my case - for now), whereas running the OBD-II WRX electrical would let me use an off the shelf tuning solution.

[httrdd]

Sick man that will be a sleeper.

[rougeben83]

IIRC 3, once you pop out the first one, pull the bottom inside edge of the cover towards the outside of the car, there's a top tab and a big one on outside.

How different are those Whiteline lateral links? I'm pretty sure they acquired Noltec at one point, thought Noltec's bushings were always different. I'm not saying the links are the same, just wondering how similar they are.

Finally got some RS seats in the car today, sweet checker pattern style. I like how I'm sitting up higher with these seats and how much stiffer the foam is than the old seats. My old driver seat needed to be replaced because part of the metal holding the foam in the seat had cut through the foam and I could feel the metal every time I sat down.

My original seat is in the trash outside, I feel sad... for some reason.

Yeah I shoulda done this a long time ago. It's too bad I have a wagon tho! I think the height difference is just because the foam in the RS seats is just so much stiffer and holds it's shape better, oh and it's not 15 years old either! lol, I would just sink into my stock seats.

They very very similar but the whiteline ones almost feel a little thicker, and of course they're new too which helps. And yes, the bushings are very different. Now i need to upgrade the bushings in my trailing arms. Too bad I can't take the arms off my junk car and clean them up, I still need it to roll so I can get rid of it. If not I would have all 4 knuckles sitting in my basement waiting for paint and new bearings.

Well, replaced my knock and crack sensors today without any change in the idle and boost problem. However, I did definitely notice what sounds to be a vacuum leak somewhere near my intake manifold. Sort of an echo-ish air flow sound when I unplug my BOV (which should normally have the engine struggling to run.) So, I'm going to pull all my upper motor apart tomorrow to (hopefully) find where the leak is coming from.

[Navi271]

Might be more than 0.3L, anyone living in the air box?
HA! never thought about that one.... Glad you got it running tho Dead91silvia. Probably needs a tune up, some new spark plugs and ngk wires did wonders to mine. It was either those or the msd coil that did the wonders tho, not quite sure!

[Dead91silvia]

She runs like a champ with the new pump! Still not as fast as the GT, but thats expected.

I did get it all polished up and detailed! Looks good for having 231K! Still needs some work. AC dont work, one PW switch is dead, and the PL's only work sometimes... Just little things...

Switched the %#@!ing automatic seatbelts in my 91 to manual ones from a 98 Legacy. All the bolt holes were there, just had to do the tiniest of coercing of some sheet metal to get the newer ones in.

Replaced my front right axleshaft in 15 minutes today. I think I'm getting too proficient at these things. It had a bad CV joint at the wheel side because the boot slid down the shaft somehow towards the joint and let water get into the joint... Either it wasn't tightened properly when made, or it got pulled on too hard while the shaft was out of the car and floating around between cars. I couldn't even tell anything was wrong until I took the shaft out and water started pouring out of there (right into my lap of course) when it got tipped up. But at least the clicking and tapping is gone now.

Well, I got a new Deck for my GT and that was awesome!

[Soul Shinobi]

Oh yeah don't do that. :(

[Dead91silvia]

Yeah... So now I need to find a sway bar for a GT... I posted a thread in suspension asking about it...

[DarkPhoenix]

Changed the fuel filler pipe and the other rear caliper.

After changing the pipe, which had several BB sized holes covered with rubber and hose clamps, there is a new leak. YAY!!!FML!

[prodriver1]

began wiring in my gauges today... the din mount I had wont work, so time to fin another solution

[httrdd]

Let me know what you use to mount the gauges.

[Dead91silvia]

Just got the new sway bar installed! That was easy! Took about 30min... Wish Toyota's and Nissan's were like that!

[rougeben83]

Pulled the 97' LGT project car out of storage( massive snowbank next the the yard)

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/03/743b030c-1.jpg

Cleaned it off, cleaned it's garage spot, put her inside and started taking the dented fenders off All the stuff in the engine bay I won't need.

Plan is EG33, Wrx tranny setup, LINK standalone, agxs or sti take offs (currently sitting on sti stuff, have agxs in the garage) swap to black interior, fix the body and paint it pure white. I'll start a build thread when I start doing more.

Wrx tranny + torque from the EG33...ugh

I would go with something with a shorter final drive, like from an RS, or even stick with what you have right now (4.11 or 4.44 FD). Less strain on the gears that way. Now if you get a trans from a JDM GC wrx or sti (or even one of those RA models), that would be marginally better :smile:

[grayguy]

I'm running what I have, I didn't buy anything specifically for this project, it's all stuff I've just acquired over the last few years. I don't really think it matters, all 5mt Subaru trannies are weak, all can be broken by low horse power stock motors, theres no way around it. The investment in a 6mt isn't worth it to me, so if I shatter the Wrx tranny, I'll put my spare 4.11 tranny in (spare because 2nd doesn't have much syncro left) and see what I think then.

[ubar legacy]

After class I drove the grandparents' van back to duluth to pick up a transmission/diff and stuff from prodriver1 (thanks again, man!!) Tomorrow ill be working on it, hopefully get it back on the road.. If not, should be on thursday

Doing a timing belt and cam seals on a friend's 2005 Legacy GT with him. It's going self-esteem robbingly terrible. Stripped hex holes on cam bolts, cam jumped some teeth trying to loosen it. Might have stubbornly bent valves trying to force the engine to rotate a bit not knowing better.

[Navi271]

Dang that sounds terrible! Just did cam seals today, was also going to do the front main crank seal too but didn't have the right tool to get it out so just cam seals, belts, coolant flush, and oil change. The car is now happy! Sounds like mine went WAY better than yours, but I think my car is a lot easier to work on/with.

I heart non interference engines!

I also might lower my car again... I'm so confused! idk...

well last week my drivers side automatic seat belt got stuck in the door closed position... So I hauled the trim off around the interior and switched out the auto seat belt with an older one I have and I know works.
When I installed the new seat belt it was in the door open position.
I hooked everything up and shut the door and it came to the normal door closed position.
Opened the door............and.......... it wouldn't release again...
So I spent quite a bit of time looking under the dash for a busted or corroded wire.. found nothing...
Decided I would take the whole door off and replace it with a spare I have and BAM. the seat belt worked!!


Brought the stock door inside and looked around and found this!

I cleaned up the ends of the wire soldered it back together wrapped it in elect. tape then wrapped the whole bundle of wires in waterproof plumbers tape, then put a wireloom over that!

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/200513_10150215883369762_654794761_9222229_7403838_n.jpg

Weird problem with my HVAC today. The lights under the air position switches and it was stuck blowing out the top vents. I assume it's something electrical, anyone have the issue? It fixed itself before I got home but I expect it to happen again.

The project of my friend's 2005 Legacy GT is going poorly. We just got everything together and it won't crank over. Seems mechanically constrained, like all the valves are closed. something with the crank or cam positions I'm sure, but I have no idea really. Ffffffuuuuuuuu. I don't actually know anything about engines to be honest.

I mounted them on the hood clamp whatever it's called-the 2 bolts that attach the hood lock
I directly wired from stock L horn to L Hella Horn and grounded it and then R stock horn to R Hella Horn
I was at a meet yesterday and I heard that if I connect the horns through the center adapter piece with the 4 prongs
then the horns will be louder

Yeah if you wire them to the relay it would be louder. I haven't heard the difference between no relay and with relay.

do you guys think you caused the problem? or did it happen while driving??

[Soul Shinobi]

We were changing the timing belt and the cam seals, and removing the cams is very difficult since they require a 10mm hex key and are wicked tight. We rounded one and the cams got out of alignment during that, the force required to break a couple of the bolts free caused cams to skip (the old timing belt was left on while removing the cams). People on the Legacy GT forums and local Subaru dealer said the cams are a pain and requite cutting the heads of the bolts half the time. During this the misalignment of the cams caused valve collision on the DOHC.

Last weekend I finally wired up my JDM side markers (alternating flashes). I also hooked up my city lights in my projectors and switched the blue bulbs out for amber bulbs.

I also installed a new set of H1 and H3 Osram Nightbreaker lightbulbs... which I am very satisfied with. Paid like $58 for all four bulbs at motivemods.com.

Then I installed my subaru OEM dual outlets that replace my ash tray. Finally no more having to juggle phone chargers with radar detector. I bought this almost 9 months ago... it was probably the last one in North America so I figured I better actually install it instead of just letting it sit around.

While I was in my dash, I swapped my CD player with the empty storage cubby and tapped into the back of my headunit to provide me with an AUX hookup for my android phone (Now I can rock Pandora on roadtrips).

Now all I need is woodgrain radio bezel and woodgrain HVAC bezel and I think I will be set for a while.


I didnt do this recently but I also went on a Yakima rack binge and sourced both the OEM subaru ski rack attachment (yes it says "Subaru" on it in place of Yakima) as well as the OEM bicycle racks (two of them).



I am running out of things to do to my car!!!! Anybody have any other ideas? The car just rolled 225,000 miles so anything else that I would be doing would be strictly for appearance/convenience/comfort.

Harry - respray the paint or have the seats reupholstered/rebolstered.

[harrymaneuvers]

My seats are pretty clean as is... I have the black vinyl/leather but it is the hard to find design... not the standard GT black leather seats. Anybody know what the difference is? Models that came with one vs the other?

Mine are like this:

I was thinking about window tinting... or fog lights.

[Dead91silvia]

Just broke the block on my 97 doing a timing belt... F****** pissed right now...

[Dead91silvia]

Ok, not as bad as I thought... It's a bracket so its all good... I had an extra on an EJ25, but they are different then EJ22's.... :(

This is it...

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/03/IMG_5402-1.jpg

[Soul Shinobi]

If that's the timing tensioner bracket the newer ones have been strengthened and require longer bolts.

[Dead91silvia]

Yeah, thats what it is... I'm just gonna hit up the year tomorrow, have to go for something else anyway and it should only be a few bucks. I'm gonna grab a couple of them since I'm up there. I know there have to be a couple EJ22's in the yard... kinda bummed though, I was on a roll! I was gonna have the belt done in less then 2 hours.... oh, crap happens...

[Benfolio]

That's what was broke on my wagon's EJ22.... too bad it took out the valves.....

Anywho, made some foglight hole blanks or my OB bumper to block off the huge gaping holes I had there. Looks nice. Should help with gas mileage and keeping water out of my snorkus-less intake.
Speaking of which, I think either the snorkus gets modded and put back in, or I'm going to figure out a snorkel of sorts to keep my air filter dry when puddle jumping.

[rallywagon]

Nice! How much did you pick up the wheel for? I wanna MOMO wheel

[Soul Shinobi]

They go for $100-$150 I think, my friend just put one on his '98 Legacy and loves it.

[rallywagon]

I know the avg. price I was just curious if he got his off craigslist or something

[MRLancaster]

175. Only downside is that the airbag wires dont match. :/ So trying to figure that out

[Mx4Life]

Installed the Hallman and the HKS FCD.

Damn. There's a rim repair show around here, I wonder if that kind of thing is fixable. Would require welding at least.

Last night I tired of having a wobbly wheel. Tore into the suspension and installed new ball joints and tie rod asemblies. I love it when the guy at the parts counter asks if it's the upper or lower ball joint...Piece of cake. Used Flennor german suspension parts. Seem to be of quality. Old ones were LOOSE, man. Tired parts make cars unsafe. Potholes are fat jerks! Can't wait to throw on the new springs and struts. I think my shackles are sloppy on the front leaf springs, too. Got it aligned, and was only off two or three threads on the passenger wheel. I try like a savant.

[Soul Shinobi]

Good job man, I need to do that!

[csweston]

Just scored 06 WRX full suspension set up with 25k on them for FREEEEEE!

ouch... yea, we have a place called Rimpro up here that could weld and straighten that, but it would probably be cheaper to find another or even a whole different set hehehe.

parking brake
Next question, why do you have the parking brake set in an auto?

[MRLancaster]

Because I always set the parking brake everywhere I go... :smt023

[track8]

Installed a new Bosch rear O2 sensor and lubed the hood latch. Added a qt of oil too.

[Huffer]

Attempted to rebuild my front calipers.... giving up, going to return the stock parts I bought and buying 2004 GT loaded calipers and rotors.
Much easier.

[green97gt]

At the very least. De-nutted maybe.

[Grafton]

found a place within 2 hours of me that has a ton of subaru OEM wheels and isn't charging an arm and a leg for them, 260 for a full set of snowflakes and cheaper for other kinds I believe more info and pics after i go there monday

[MRLancaster]

Do tell where this is! :O

[TGX4776]

please do!

[MRLancaster]

I just ordered clear turn signal bulbs. :D Tired of having clear corners, and JDM tails, and still seeing orange when the lights off.

[Yint]

I'm about to go put on some hose clamps to stop a coolant leak near my turbo.

[grayguy]

I thinned out the herd a little, 2nd SVX to leave this weekend, and I'm glad to see it go. Tomorrow we'll see what a drivetrain-less SVX weighs haha

I installed Silverstar ambers. They look blue when they are not lit, glow amber. Cool effect and legal, probably.

[TGX4776]

Traded my rotas for 02 wrx's, A/S's and 250 cash. now it comes down to getting tall tires and OB suspension or dropping it on my H&R's and going rwd.

If i drop it i'll be getting 205/50/16 falken ZE-912's

oh yeah CV boot blew. Gonna find out if i just need a new boot or a new cv axle.

[TireIron]

if one of those SVXs has a good keyless security module, let me know.

[02_Legacy]

I missed the oportunity of my life, :smt021 someone was selling a 2000 legacy GT with 200,000 miles for $1,000 two hours from me. I emailed them as soon as I saw the ad (less than a day after it was posted) and it was already sold :smt022 I'm still kicking my self in the butt for not checking craigslist before I went to bed last night.

Spent a good 30 minutes or so removing the black paint off my wood trim....Never painting that again! Much less removing it. And cleaned the car out. Anyone got any ideas for stains and how to remove them? And fixed the WRX>BH momo wheel mystery. Thats off my check list. :D
