What have you done to your car today?

[1-3-2-4]

Removed my rust hitch, saving 34 lbs, plus 2.4 lbs of rust that came off it during removal = 36.4 lbs weight saved. @_@


I did that to my car back in june I think it was.. Oh man what a great feeling that was!

Anyways..

Replaced the slave cylinder and put a speed bleeder on it

old fluid that came out was very dirty..

Somehow, I'm failing to see the difference between the look of this hood and the stock hood. *shrugs* If I'm not missing anything, why would anyone pay that much for something like that when carbon fiber hoods of the same shape go for MUCH less?

I cleared the corners in my headlights. I really underestimated that job but it definitely looks way better now.

Did you bake them? I helped a friend of mine do that to his 05 Acura TL... interesting for sure....

[Huffer]

^^ anyone tried using a BBQ grill to bake their headlights? I imagine if you used a plate to avoid direct contact with the flame then you'd be golden. And much less smelly than using the wife's oven. :lol:

I wouldn't think this would be a great idea because you have a source of all the heat concentrated at the bottom. This may cause the bottom to get too hot, possibility melt before the top gets warm enough. The thing that makes an oven a good choice for this is the heat is pretty evenly spread with no one concentrated source. But I know what you mean, I did it now because my mom is gone for the week and I son't think she would be too happy if she saw me baking my headlights in her oven. LOL

What size tires? I have a Fusion Hri in my garage around 90% tread. It is a 225/45/17 though. Want it its yours.

[redlegacygt]

damn, mines 215/45/17. With the whiteline flatout springs i have, that would prob. rub. Thanks for the offer though!

Why would I joke about it? And I don't know about your grill, but mine gets as hot as 350F.

Back on topic, my car LIVES today. Finally got everything buttoned up and back down on the ground. Brakes are as good as I was hoping, but I think that's because of the bleeding I did. Wasn't the best job, so I'll have a shop redo it later.

[Soul Shinobi]

Haha, for some reason I wasn't thinking of an enclosed grill, I'm just imagining you with an open one with a headlights on a steel plate. :razz: You just have to be careful to stay in the 200-240 degree range, I warped a lens just above that.

oh man, just the piece of information i needed! that the same on all leggys?

So far as I've come across, any suby with an EJ or EG motor uses the M10x1.25 exhaust studs. Possibly all subys, but I havent dealt with anything other than EJ or EG motors. But yes, a legacy from 1991-2011 will use that exhaust stud. Subaru used M10x1.25 for A LOT of bolts on these cars. It has been one of the most useful heli-coil size that I have found living in new england.

Happy Subie.

In other news, I might be getting new tires for the RSs. What size should I go with on it?
205/55r16 are whats on it but that is what is on my old snowflakes. Shouldn't they be wider being that RS rims is wider then the snowflake.

[Huffer]

205/55 r16 is the stock size on the RS wheels.

the wife had a small fender bender, she's fine but the car... but it looks like ALL the damage is in the frame, under the washer bottle and behind the battery, and the radiator overflow tank is touching the timing belt cover

[httrdd]

BD R.I.P. :( Gen2 <3!

Decomission it or something? What happened? What parts you have to sell on it.

[geckoboy86]

how does it sound?

WIth the P123 head unit, I find it to work best at volume to 10-15 and then 20-25. Its more of supplemental bass. It allows you to take some of the bass away from your speakers to help increase there life. It still adds some vibe. Almost as if you turned your head unit up to +3 bass or so.

My experience with the P123 vs my old P133 (that stopped recognizing it was a CD player) is that the bass is a lot higher in the older model. I use to keep my settings at Bass -1 with the P133. Now with this P123 unit, I was mostly at -2 and since the subwoofer install, -4.

BD R.I.P. :( Gen2 <3!

Dunno. The one above looks very standard and simple. I like simple. Hopefully, he can provide us with an answer. :)

[MRLancaster]

May be trading bumpers with a friend, he wants a Outback bumper, and I want the GT. So we may trade bumper beams and fogs and bumpers.. :D So excited if it goes through!

[fwa2500]

http://www.fillernecksupply.com :lol: was $135 or so shipped and has an unneeded evap pipe included. i also recommend removing the lower portion of the plastic guard so you dont have road debris build up again to cause the same rust issues. its really a simple procedure, but those stupid hoses will put up a fight.....and their backwards clamps..... :roll:

[Huffer]

^^ yeah, I never felt like dealing with it so on my old BD I had the dealer do it. On my wagon I took the plastic guard off immediately, sanded the pipe and sprayed it with rustoleum flat black paint, then sprayed it again with rubber undercoating.

I'd first pull the steering wheel center and see if there are any loose wires in there. Possibly something grounding out. Does the horn work? If you plan on playing with those wires inside the steering wheel at all, I would HIGHLY recommend disconnecting the negative battery terminal beforehand. :)

Someone said to check the seat belt wires also. It's funny, it goes on one trip, then off another. I've changed out airbags before so I'm not too scared about it, never pulled an airbag with the batt hooked up, thats just asking for trouble. I just dont get how it can work, then not and the bags not go off with the short.

I'll play with it tomorrow when I have time. I got it to pass smog yesterday also so monday I should have tabs and might call and add insurance and take it off my BD so I can pull my motor to re-seal it and also fix my bent frame rail... :smt023 Was hoping to locate a GTB Limited bumper when I did it, but cant wait any longer.

I found out I'll be getting my 98' GT back from my dad. He bought an 08' legacy 2.5i, so I'm taking my GT back, and my little sister will be taking my L. So I'll be switching all the STI suspension and LGT 17's from the L to the GT and visa versa.

[Dead91silvia]

I got to drive my Wagon for the 1st time (not just around the block) yesterday! It's fun having a 5 speed. Needs an alinement bad and the tires are crap. I also have my "airbag" light coming on and going off when driving...? I have never seen that before. One trip it will be off, then get back in at the store and its on, then go some place else and it's off again. I dont even know what to look for!
I'd first pull the steering wheel center and see if there are any loose wires in there. Possibly something grounding out. Does the horn work? If you plan on playing with those wires inside the steering wheel at all, I would HIGHLY recommend disconnecting the negative battery terminal beforehand. :)

Someone said to check the seat belt wires also. It's funny, it goes on one trip, then off another. I've changed out airbags before so I'm not too scared about it, never pulled an airbag with the batt hooked up, thats just asking for trouble. I just dont get how it can work, then not and the bags not go off with the short.

I'll play with it tomorrow when I have time. I got it to pass smog yesterday also so monday I should have tabs and might call and add insurance and take it off my BD so I can pull my motor to re-seal it and also fix my bent frame rail... :smt023 Was hoping to locate a GTB Limited bumper when I did it, but cant wait any longer.

Yeah. It's been on eBay for over a year I think. Everything time I look for more parts I see that thing. If I didn't already have bumpers and such, I'd probably end up making an offer on it. Of course, there are a few things I would change on it before it went onto my car.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Rotated the tires and checked the tire pressure. There was a slight chance of rain, so I held off washing the car.

[Huffer]

Buffed out some more rust specks, worked out which areas I need to hit for rust repair before the fall kicks in. Washed it quickly and cleaned up the wheels.

EDIT. Saturday I gave it an oil change. Castrol GTX 5w30, Supertech filter.

[r3v_v3ng3]

Yes! I thought I was the only one that use a supertech filter. Friends laugh at me for it but until I'm turboed then I will upgrade

Wait..... even when i had a turbo civic and 240 i still used it lol :lol:

[Huffer]

^^ they're actually good filters. I've never had a problem with them and I run them on all my cars. I won't touch fram.

[Dead91silvia]

^ I use the cheapest filter I can find. I know a guy that builds Skylines and he says spending money of expesive filters is pointless, they all clean the same...

As for what I did to my car... I polished and waxed my BH! Man that thing looks hawt! I need to get some pics! You guys will love it!

[Soul Shinobi]

Just because he had his hands on Skylines doesn't mean he's not an idiot.

[Dead91silvia]

Just because he had his hands on Skylines doesn't mean he's not an idiot.

This is true, however he's been building and racing cars for 30 years. He's also not the only person I have heard this from. I have heard this from a lot of other race guys and also tech's. If you change your oil every 3K, what filter you use is not gonna mater so much.

Now if you have some crazy built $15,000 motor, then yeah, I can see getting a K&N oil filter, but when you toss the every 3K from even a stock turbo motor, its just a waste spending more the 3-5 bucks for a filter. Spending $8 for a K&N (or what ever brand), thats up to you, I did it 2 times and the only cool thing about them is the welded nut on the end... :roll:

[Huffer]

Here's the deal - a crappy built motor with poorly machined parts is going to produce a lot more microscopic wear than a really well engineered motor with proper tolerances. Honda's engines are well reputed in this regard, how many Hondas go 10,000 miles between oil changes and still run to 250k+ miles? Yep...

But if you're changing your oil frequently enough, you can use the cheap filters because the OIL is what the shavings and other particles is suspended in. This is why you change your filter AND your oil. Not just your filter alone.

There's always exceptions when dealing with cars, but fresh fluids is always a rule you shouldn't break.

[Dead91silvia]

^ agreed...

Installed the Supertones yesterday on the Ladies WRX wagon... took my time and heatshrinked all connections, hid all wiring from view and re-did the positive/negative terminal auxiliary wiring.

Also started to clean up the power folding/heated JDM mirrors that I have had for about 4 months now. The guy I bought them from had them taped together with clear scotch tape... which was a PAIN in the ass to get off. It must have been on there for about 2 or 3 years because they left sunfaded marks when they were removed. Just need to finish prepping them and then I am going to try to rattlecan them myself with paint matched spray paint from a local paint shop.

I have to sand it down and color match the painted part but should be a nice addition!

[Dead91silvia]

I have to sand it down and color match the painted part but should be a nice addition!

Make sure you use adhesion promoter! It's a must if your going to paint the plastic where the fogs are. If not, your paint will start to flake off in months...

Thats gonna look good though! And you got a steal on that if it was it good shape. :smt023

[still_alive]

Adhesion promoter then sand-able primer or just straight to color? I've always wondered the correct way to layer it to get the best stick I could

[Dead91silvia]

Adhesion promoter then sand-able primer or just straight to color? I've always wondered the correct way to layer it to get the best stick I could

-prep/clean with wax and grease remover
-use adhesion promoter as they specify
-Use high build primer (if you are wanting to eliminate texture) and sand accordingly. If you are just wanting to cover with color, then just prime, let dry and scuff for sealer...

Painting
-Sealer
-Base coat
-clear...

Doing it right can cost a bit. I used to do it all the time when I was working for a shop, but I didnt have to pay for it.... haha...

Hope that helps... It really is way more in depth then that, but thats the basics...

[r3v_v3ng3]

^ yeah its really more in depth.

If its plastic, use flexible primer

If its brand new(meaning no paint on the urethane bumper/skirt/lip), I never have any problem not using flex primer. I apply plastic adhesion promoter, two coats of sealer and base/clear. Pretty much all the topcoat have a flex agent on them.

If its painted already, you don't need to put adhesion promoter if your going to use seal the part(s) since the sealer also acts as an adhesion promoter.

Also if the bumper has stress/spider mark, It will bleed through no matter how many coats of paint you use. It won't go away but you might be able to get lucky and get rid of the stress/spider mark by stripping the part to bare plastic and then prep/paint the part like a new plastic except this time I would put a couple of coats of flex primer after the adhesion promoter since the paint stripper reacted with the plastic

Ahhh... Theres alot of different procedure on painting plastic parts (there's different plastic that requires different way to prep them)

[r3v_v3ng3]

btw. I use spray gun to apply the paint except for the adhesion promoter which comes in a spray can. Still trying to find extra money to buy me an iwata pain gun

[Dead91silvia]

Yeah, thats about it... The adhesion promoter I have used is in mix and spray form. If the bumper you got was a Gold Limited bumper, your set! but if it has blcak plastic like 95% of the OB bumpers, you need to do this..

I actually have never used a flexing agent in the primer, or the paint. If the base/clear is sprayed light enough, it has natural flex. Primer expands and contracts all the time. You can see it is bad or rushed body work. More so if the body work was not finished out right.

Just my 2 cents, take it to a body shop and have it butt matched to your car. It might cost you a few bucks, but if you have a good shop do it the right way, the paint will last just like the rest of the car. Should cost $200-400 to have it done the right way with good stuff.

Just a pint of paint for the last car I painted (White 2006 Honda Accord) was $79 for PPG DBC base coat. That does not include my sealer, clear, reducer, and lacquer thinner for cleaning. Not trying to scar you, just put it in perspective...

[Dead91silvia]

Still trying to find extra money to buy me an iwata pain gun

Yea really that is it, but the tranny shifts fine. Just a little slip between 2nd and third if you go hard on it. I will put the interior together with painted trim pieces so interior will be complete. I will even rebuff the car for the buyer. The rear brakes need to be done, but have the Wrx caliper sandblasted and will paint. Car runs great now, but needs more to handle the power I want to put out. I can even include a 06 Wrx 5 speed tranny to rebuild. I will post details in a minute.

[ElbryanWolf]

Back to the dealer today. CEL P0026

2 OSV valves busted,
Oil leak behind timing belt cover due to pressure fluctuation because of the valves,
2.5L of oil missing,
Broken splash guard due to missing clips from last service,
2 broken subframe bolts

Luckly i'm at 104456 km and my warranty for the motor group has been extended to 105000km so they'll be changing all this under warranty. Still supprised at how much stuff was changed under warranty in my last 2 services. Is it that common for a 2.5i ? From reading around I understand it wasn't their best motor... but this bad?

So losing my beast for a minimum of a full day next week to repair all this, but at least I'll have it back up and running properly. :)

I dont think they realise how thin the metal is on our cars...They said they didnt do it, but it wasnt there when I got there, i walk around my car every time Im about to drive to see if theres any damages from surrounding cars. At any rate, I just told the guy to have a nice day, shook his hand. (Car ride home several curse words came out of anger however) and left. Im not taking it further, I dont have the time or sanity to deal with back and forth "We didnt do it". I cant proove they did, but it wasnt there when I dropped it off, and it was there when I picked it up. They may have leaned against it or pushed on it trying to get up or sit down, either way whatever happened shouldnt have since its a customers car.....so yea If anything just warn shops that the metal is paper thin.......shit happens. Life goes on...I will get the dent removed, or replaced eventually.

^ That sucks! If I ever damage a customers car, they will know. I NEED my customers or I cant pay my bills!

On another note, I picked up a trashed 96 BK L.... for 175 bucks.... lol... Not much left of it, but I wanted some parts off it and so did my buddy...

:( I know its not horrendous or anything, but Im very particular about my Legacy. And this just destroys me T.T But at least it runs and everything....so it could have been worse

[Dead91silvia]

Not cool!

[httrdd]

F that I would have them fix that! That is the shops problem.

[eekay]

Good God! That is NOT just a lean type of dent. Something had to put significant weight on that fender to get it to bend that much. Unless there is a 500+ lb man working there that fell from several feet onto the fender, I would say that's from poor equipment handling... They dropped something on it. Crock of sh**!

[geckoboy86]

Install SS brake lines.

You know, the 3rd gen fenders are more flimsy then the 2nd for sure! I had a dent in mine, but just it out with my thumb! haha!

Oh.... I got my GT-B Limited bumper today! :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

[grayguy]

I put the clutch, spark plugs/wires and coil on my 2.5 and made a quick list of what I need to buy/do tomorrow before I can put the "new" motor in

I have a dent in the exact same place. Parked my car on the street, went inside, came outside several hours later, DENT! And I was parked against a curb, so some guy walking by tripped into my car? :neutral:

sucks tho...

Damn radiator last night got a leak in it.. I knew I should of stuck with replacing the radiator when I pulled the motor..

installed the front WRX struts I picked up yesterday. Third one is in place. Hope to finish up tomorrow!

[Wiscon_Mark]

Put in WRX seats today! Whooo!

Makes that car 100% more fun to drive.

[httrdd]

My car rode like a brick before I replaced the struts with Wrx struts and Eibach springs. It will be a great difference

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

mine felt like a boat! lol I'll test it out on a good ole York County back road! lol

This is what happens when a snow shovel falls off a vehicle and hits your bumper. The STi lip is ripped off, bumper is scratched all up and cracked in several spots, and blew to pieces my towhook cover

Could have been 100x worse, thank god it wasnt. Now to start piecing her back together

[amgarrety]

Its sad to see such a beautiful car damaged so much :(

[grayguy]

Jeez, terrible luck this week!

I finished the 2.2-2.5 swap in my L

I started to prep out my Limited bumper. It's much better looking then I thought it would be! Now to sand all the crappy paint down and get primer on it... I cant wait for this to be done!!!

[redlegacygt]

i dropped mine of too have the body shop fix the paint that's started to crack since they last did some body work. Now im driving a 2011 chevy cruze for a couple days..haha

[Danny-G]

260,000 miles on the entire car, what a great car. Hasn't missed a beat for almost a year now, love my old Legacy.

[rougeben83]

roadtrip weekend to boston, then oil change, and Kartboy front endlinks to replace the old Poltec heim jointed ones.

[MRLancaster]

Got done with insurence and the shop, getting a new front end for the legacy, the damage was worse than I thought. But everything is covered, so thats good!

[Dead91silvia]

^ nice!

I got a whole lot of sanding done to my Limited bumper... needs more work then I thought, but its ok. Also pressure washed the trunk peaces for my wagon... yuck! And they still look like poo!

[MRLancaster]

No frame damage so thats also good....id be scared if a snow shovel caused frame damage 0.0
Are you making a new bumper? Or just fixing up one up.

[Dead91silvia]

HAHA! Thats true!

I got a JDM GT B Limited bumper... Needs a bit of work, but I dont mind...

[grayguy]

I pulled my 2.2 ECU out and swapped a buddy for a 2.5 ECU

[mycargoesvroom]

Not my car but I did change out some rear trailing arm bushings on my buddy's supercharged M3. Man I love this car.
