What have you done to your car today?

[Soul Shinobi]

Jeez! Looks good, let us know how hard it is to keep clean. :razz:

[eekay]

some guy on ebay his seller name was "new_stars"
he had a 99.7% positive rating with 2463 ebay score

its ok though cause i already contacted him and he said he will "take care of it ASAP"

on another note I painted my car flat white haha

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/12/20111219_221054_855-1.jpg
Ah! I buy stuff from that guy ALL the time! Haha. I've never had him mess an order up though. He's super cool. He'll get you all fixed up super quick I'm sure... That's funny.

[Grafton]

just ordered a solar battery trickle charger to band-aid my funky alternator/lack of daily driving

[r3v_v3ng3]

I finally got a pair of jdm projector headlights...

Too bad they sent me 2 drivers side ones

That sucks. When I got my jdm fogs the guy shipped it with no packaging . He literally grabbed the fogs and just slapped them in the box. No bubble wrap no nothing :smt005 . One survived, so he shipped me another one.

[eekay]

Wow. That's crazy! Who in their right mind would do that? Lol.

I have got stuff from him also!

That is hella funny though! At least you will have an extra! You should tell him you will give another extra $50 for 2 rights! :smt005

[eekay]

Haha. Honestly, due to his goof-up, I wouldn't be surprised if he did give you a hell of a deal on two rights for two full sets. He's a pretty cool guy...

[Dead91silvia]

no joke! Sell the extra set and have an almost free set of projectors!

[r3v_v3ng3]

Wow. That's crazy! Who in their right mind would do that? Lol.


The seller was from Thailand and he was selling alot of jdm parts. I don't know about now though. He could of stuffed bunch of thai newspaper in the box and it might of survive. I've gotten parts from japan to where they only used newspaper as packaging :smt017 and survived the trip. Extra jdm!!! lol

[racingking951]

I should definitely ask him and see what i could get from him before he ships out the 3rd projector haha

And as for the car being flat white, it looks really good, people kept complementing my car but damn does this think get dirty fast.

[Okin DaVanh]

Woke up to, "Hey, the hoses in the car aren't building pressure." Yay Fricken Me.

I haven't driven my car in a week (lost use of my legs for a little... almost over), and the missus drives it to work 80 miles round trip and parked our XB. Thinking it's the pump, thermo or both. Suggestions?

[Huffer]

Could be an air bubble? Does the temp gauge shoot up or is there just no pressure at all?

Easy to test the t-stat, harder to test the water pump. I'd go with the cheapest part first.

[Okin DaVanh]

That's what I was thinking (Thermo 1st). The temp gauge stays on a 1/4, but last night, she was watching a movie inside and said that she noticed the needle was going to 1/2, so she shut it off immediately. Had a co-worker come to check it out for her and that's what he found.

[Huffer]

Sounds like a t-stat or bubble... my gauge stays at 1/2 for normal operating temp.

[Reason]

Sounds like a t-stat or bubble... my gauge stays at 1/2 for normal operating temp.

Yes slightly below 1/2, try burping the system first, then try the t state. Normal operating temperature isn't at the 1/4 mark.

[amgarrety]

Put GT lights on my BE and blew a fuse and I think some relays.

So for the next few days, my car will sit right up front in my driveway on display for all to see until I get it fixed by someone who knows what they are doing. I'll be driving my dad's BL in the mean time :grin:

[r3v_v3ng3]

Installed oem tweeters from vermont22gt and i must say its the easiest thing i've done on my bd. works great!

Also did the grounding mod.
Before: 13.99v at idle with lights/stereo on
After: 14.15v at idle with lights/stereo on
I recommed this mod and its under $10

[httrdd]

Yea I might just do this this week. I have everything I need for it. Glad to hear more good results.

Haha. Gas is ridiculous right now! Although, it has gone down a bit. But, I can easily toss $45-$50 into my '97 wagon. Worst part is, I have a gas leak somewhere. So, I'm only getting about 10-11 MPG! :smt022

I got about 2-3 hours of welding and grinding done to my Pulsar! :grin:

Well, that's the thing... I'm driving a '97 Subaru Legacy Wagon! Lol. 10-11 MPG is absurd! I would expect those numbers driving a massive truck. Lol.

[Dead91silvia]

haha... I know, funny thing is it only has a 350, but I always have my flatbed trailer hooked to it or I'm hauling something in the bed. It's only got like 200hp for a V8. Slow as hell...

My friends BK GT is also getting like 16-18 mpg... Cant figure out why though...

from a civic to testing a legacy, then saying it's going to stay stock, to going off with mods, but reasonable ones (like not going bat-$hi+ crazy with full sti driveline swaps or similar forced induction ideas, but sticking with smaller suspension and intake-y things with handling addition mods, etc.)

It is kinda crazy when you look at it. The stories are rather similar. We both ended up with 95s (that have issues with the Momo steering wheel). We both have stayed close to our original goal of not being crazy with it. And when I look at your car, I like it even though it is crazy different from mine.

yes get them reinforced with welds, I went through 3 sets b4 I had the OEM brackets welded at the bends and then welded the brackets to the frame. not a single problem since. as for endlinks get rallitek solid endlinks, but if you dont reinforce the brackets they will break due to the force of solid endlinks, gradually work down the line till you have a strong setup as things will break as u strengthen other stuff.

[Perdue]

Traded my Cobb CAI for a Tsudo catback in gc fitment. Now all I need are the parts for my catpipe and a couple warm days.

thanks and likewise for your ride! yeah our stories are stikingly similar, civic, to leggo sedan test drive, to love, to nice rideing car, to no moding, to spoiler, to Thule x-bars and spoiler, to tint, to intake, to grill mod variations, to some handling and other stuff, with happiness all along the way!! :smt023

You actually need softer suspension in the snow - people who upgrade their RSBs and the endlinks usually end up snapping the swaybar mounts. This is why I stick with the OEM links, it allows some flexion without compromising the rigidity too much. Remember, kinetic energy has to go somewhere, and it will find the weakest spot. I prefer to replace a pair of $30 links, than a $100 swaybar mount or a $200 swaybar.

Haha. I couldn't beat the price. One owner 04 Buick Park Ave fully loaded with 45k miles for 7,500. Needed a battery and a set of tires from sitting. HUD and all. My brother and law had one and it only needed general maintenance besides the intake. They fixed it by 04 though and it doesn't have that issue anymore i have heard.

i average 23 on country roads with hills and stop signs and trafic lights and 30-32 on the highway at 75

in my legacy i would average 17 normal but if i was really annoyingly careful (not going over 40) i could manage 30 on the country roads. doing 75 on the interstate i managed 23 to 25

its mainly to do with gearing. If my legacy was geared the way the Buick is it would be easier on the gas.

more expensive to fix. and same issue as a subaru. If someone actually took care of it they ask a lot for it

[httrdd]

Sorry okin i only have a beat up one.

[ShadowGT]

Replaced my power steering pump with a salvaged one. Pretty easy. Took about 2 hours total. The salvaged unit shipped with plastic plugs so when I took the lines off the bad pump I stuffed them in ziplock bags. Put some towels around and quickly plugged the existing pump. Very little mess made.

Thinking about switching back from the CAI to SRI because I'm having engine temperatures spiking while idling for extended times. Never happened when in the SRI configuration. Started happening when I switched to the CAI with the water proof nylon bag over the filter.

It's all good.

[eekay]

Nylon bag is most likely the problem. Just take that off and clean the filter while you're at it.

[1-3-2-4]

Replaced my T-stat housing.. I think it might of cracked when I pulled the engine and i sat the engine on a milk crate face up and too much weight must of been on it. funny it took like 4 months to start leaking.

[redlegacygt]

Ran mine completly out of gas... guess i should replace the glass light bulb...lol

Or at least make sure the low gas function is working at all! Lol.

[98outbackpdx]

had the rear outboard 2 seat belts replaced FREE thank you Subaru. also an engine oil change, transmission flush, and front and rear diff fluids changed, and a tire rotation. cost $245 at the dealer. i was expecting it to cost a lot more.

cool! do you have pics of your knob and was it a straight swap?
What size is the hole in it, wondering if most are the standard 12mm Suby shifter thread but some are bigger, like 18 or 20mm?
I have an STi knob (piston-like design), but it's like 20mm and my shifter is 12mm, so i wonder if there's a collar that threads in to the knob to adapt to the shifter. . .
Are STis different or short throw shifters different??

Not sure they make a bushing you need. The only thing you can do is weld a bushing in somehow to fit the 12mm. See how the. 5mt Wrx guys do it on Nasioc.

[eekay]

Actually, you can get adapters at any local hardware store that will thread into your 22mm and have threads inside that match the mm and pitch of the shifter thread. Lemme see if I can dig something up so you have details on what to ask for...

EDIT: Ah. It's called a "reducer." So, you need a 22mm 1.5 pitch (just guessing the pitch, but it's common in Subaru's) to 12mm/1.5 pitch reducer. Something like this:

http://www.russellperformance.com/mc/adapt_fit/img/661570_lg.jpg

Call around to your local hardware stores and ask if they have 22mm to 12mm threaded reducers. Someone will have it. I promise. Especially a racing shop.

[httrdd]

Wow i though those bushings would be nearly impossible to find. Use a thread lock or something to lock the bushing in.

Call around to your local hardware stores and ask if they have 22mm to 12mm threaded reducers. Someone will have it. I promise. Especially a racing shop.

Mmmm, I get the concept you're describing, but I guarantee there is NOTHING like that here, and probably not w/i a 2-4 hour radius. I'm in Moab :smt012
The hardware stores here don't even have 1.5 pitch on anything less than M10.
and the car parts stores don't have any metric roll pins or hub nuts.
small town fail! :smt011

But yeah, If i could get my hands on a 22mm 1.5 male reduced to 12mm 1.5 female, that would rock...

If you can find one there in the big city, I'll buy it from you :smt023

[eekay]

Haha. I'll take a look next time I hit the hardware store. I can't imagine they'd be any more than like a buck fitty.

[eekay]

Just for shizzles and gigglez, I hoped online to see if I could find one you could get shipped to you and I came across this. Handy, eh?

[Soul Shinobi]

Pretty sure our shift levers are M12x1.25 (same as lug nuts) not 1.5, unless it changed at some point?

[eekay]

Ah. Okay. Those are available as well. In fact, if you Google for "shift knob reducer" it turns up all kinds of sites that offer kits for all kinds of sizes.

[Dead91silvia]

Prepped and primed my GT wheels for my BD... And got the A-pillars and rockers for my Pulsar in Primer.

[eekay]

Nice! Pics of the wheels when finished, please. :)

Most definitely! If I have the time, I might have them done today. now I just need tires so I can put 'em on my car! :smt005

[Navi271]

Drove my car to my parents garage. Put in a new battery, Duralast gold. Took out and cleaned the IACV because it seemed to be sticking sometimes. And I think I could have cleaned it even further, that thing was dirty! Topped off my PS fluid, or actually ATF, because the gasket is leaking. Topped off antifreeze. I'm kinda waiting til my buddy can help me out with replacing all these leaky gaskets.

[98legwag]

Gave it a nice wash. Right after I finished drying it I dropped my shammy. I'll buy a new one before I wash next time...

[httrdd]

Catless! H6 woke the hell up!

[Legacy98]

Cleaned my car. lol

[MRLancaster]

Got new mudflaps, and got a manual shroud and boot, and new window switch since mine died.

Put a new water pump in today.
Tomorrow STi catback is going on and I may finally get to putting my chrome amber bulbs in my headlights.

[SilverSuby]

I removed the threaded insert and cut it half way to allow the bottom portion to thread into the shifter and the top portion to thread into the extension.

Overall I am really happy :-D My right hand is level with my left when I drive and the distance from 1/2/3/4 is 5 inches to the right of the steering wheel. Much easier to drive around town :-D

Oh and don't mind the mess.. its my work vehicle.. my other legacy has no interior :-p

thermostat- 15-20 bucks

:smt017 :grin:

[chuckthefuk]

Where does one find a timing belt for $30? Thats not made of Chinese children.

[httrdd]

Yea I was throwing numbers out there ass! Lol. More like 50-60? I have no idea. I just know that extra money can be spent on more mods!

[02_Legacy]

Tomorrow STi catback is going on and I may finally get to putting my chrome amber bulbs in my headlights.
Got it all accomplished but the stupid idiot at the muffler shop didn't listen to what I wanted so he cut the flanges off between the midpipe and axle back and welded a pipe in there to extend the midpipe. :smt021 And he also welded the midpipe on to the cat section :smt021 So I guess its permanent now. It kinda disappointed me how quiet it was, then again I have been driving around with a massive exhaust leak for the past month. Its nice and deep though.

[httrdd]

Start with serpentine belt changing, oil changing, and small things like that. Buy a manual(or download) most of it is step by step how to information. If you have any questions then we are here to help or a local member can help you. I hate seeing people waste money on small repairs that keep them from buying mods. :grin:

lol its half BD .. half BE..

What a Frankenstein.

BTW that gates kit is so cheap.. Subaru charges me almost $400 for everything in that gates kit..

I am going Gates next time around :-D

-Chuck

[eekay]

For sure! I've tested the hell out of Gates' belt products (as well as a lot of my friends) and they are seriously solid. I'm not sure I can ever migrate to anything else. It's a good deal!

[httrdd]

Gated makes really good products.

Last Gates kit one I got (wholesale) was about $235 without the water pump. A new water pump for a twin cam is about $60-80....

The thing about cheap T-belts, they dont have timing marks and it makes doing the belt that much harder...


Got some work done on the Pulsar... I looked at my BH...

[eekay]

Ordered a new TD05H turbo. Anyone want a TD04L with about 3K on it? I'ts got a lot of days and pushes under it's belt!

Oil change with 5/30 royal purple and a k&n filter. First full wash since the crash too andLooking really good

[Dead91silvia]

Just about have the motor in my BD pulled... 2 motor mount bolts and the heater core lines and its out... Then hoping to take it in to get the frame work done, do my H/G's and have it running at the end of the week... maybe..

pulled the BD motor, took the heads in for a re-surfacing, and now prepping the rest of the parts... Should have the motor ready to go back inn tomorrow. Just want to get the frame work done first...

[eekay]

Frame work? What happened? (Sorry if I missed something...)

[Dead91silvia]

Frame work? What happened? (Sorry if I missed something...)

Oh, no you didnt. I t-boned a car about 4 ish years ago and it bent my right rail. It's not the bad, but it bugs the hell out of me now that I'm doing so much high dollar JDM thing to it now. Just want it top notch! :smt023 It's a small bend/kink right in front of the cross-member.

[Dead91silvia]

Motor is on its way...

[eekay]

Ah. Gotcha'. Yeah. It doesn't look too bad at all. No big deal! :)

[Dead91silvia]

Yeah, it should walk right out, just makes whacking the rail with a hammer when doing the pull easier with the motor out. It pulls the whole right side out of alignment.... drives me nuts!

[02_Legacy]

well its been a bad few days for the subie. First of all last night on the way home this happened:
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/01/caroverheating001-1.jpg


Overheating :-( However this morning I put the coolant pressure tester on the car and found that I had a leak at the thermostat gasket. I put a new one in this afternoon so hopefully that is fixed.
Then in auto class we were doing compression tests this morning. I had weird results, I am just going to throw this out there and see what you guys think. On the left bank, cylinders 2 & 4 compression is perfect right in spec one is 180 and one is 175. However the other side they are both 205 PSI, well above spec, which in itself does not concern me but the difference between both banks is the weird part. Also keep in mind that I have delta cams. I just want others opinions to see if my thinking is correct.

Thanks.

[eekay]

What Delta Cam (weld and) grind did you get? This could definitely be caused by the intake and exhaust valves being higher or lower on one side our not opening and closing correctly. How did you do the compression test? Running or not running? How long did you let the test go?

[02_Legacy]

I have the torque grind, 2000 I think. The compression test was done correctly, throttle wide open, battery charger on. Vehicle, and spark and fuel disabled. I cranked untill the needle stopped climbing, five or six cycles.

[eekay]

Hrm. My Delta Cam torque grind was a weld and grind (264). Not sure if it's different for the Gen3. Perhaps it's a DOHC vs SOHC difference? How does the car run? Are the cams aligned properly? When was the last time you had your timing done and who did it?

[r3v_v3ng3]

Maybe the other side have more carbon build up on the valvetrain/pistons creating more compression

[eekay]

Got my car back today! So stoked!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUhEh2w5mcQ

[02_Legacy]

Are the cams aligned properly? When was the last time you had your timing done and who did it?
This is what I was thinking. I think that I am one tooth off on the cam timing. I did the timing when i put the delta cams in. I know how to do the timing on these but that is not to say that the belt did not jump and I did not notice. This weekend I am going to take the timing cover off and take a look.

[eekay]

Okay. Keep us posted!

[MarkSubi]

I washed it and been depating on cutting off my custom exhaust.

If your cam timing is off, you would know... and you should have a CEL on for it. Last one I knew of that had bad cam timing had no balls and fuel MPG was like 9... Just a thought...

even just one tooth? And I would have to imagine it makes a difference if the timing is advanced or retarded. The delta cams may make it easier to run with improper timing too. We will see, I just found out that my instructor canceled Fridays class so I should be able to check it then.

[nikolaus.conrad]

A few days ago I put new wheels and such. Today I drove over a sharp marble curb at the mall and somehow not managed to slice my tires wide open, no scratches or anything. Win of the day lol :smt025

Could still be it. Having different cams might make it more forgivable with timing. Even if you need to do HG's on that motor, they are really easy on that motor, I'm assuming this is a SOHC Phase II....

[Huffer]

^^ yep, all Gen3's are SOHC's... lucky sons of guns...

Changed my fuel filter today, and the fuel like on both ends of it.

Well the head gasket finally went. Friends helping find a 2.5 WRX motor. :)

[02_Legacy]

Today I checked to see if my cam timing was right and as I suspected I was one tooth off on the Right side head. The problem was that when I was making my marks on the belt I was counting the teeth. Really you are supposed to count the valleys between the teeth. I know this becasue I almost did it again today.
The weirdest part of it all is that I notice very little difference before vs after. :smt102

Got stuck trying to leave home. Rain doesn't mix well with swon, ice, and slush. I probably wouldn't have had an issue if I hadn't switched tires today.

Got stuck trying to leave home. Rain doesn't mix well with swon, ice, and slush. I probably wouldn't have had an issue if I hadn't switched tires (http://motors.shop.ebay.com/eBay-Motors-/6000/i.html?_nkw=tires&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_rdc=1) today.

How does one get stuck? I just climbed up a 7ft snow covered hill with no issues what so ever! Also did a lot of drifting and donuts in a nice secluded parking lot! :grin:

[Huffer]

Last night I hit the streets, and wreaked some havoc.
Victim #1 - highschool parking lot
Victim #2 - church parking lot
Victim #3 - Burger King drivethru (staff looked a little surprised to see me going through sideways...)
Victim #4 - shutdown Kmart parking lot

did taxs thinking about getting kw v3 coilover. what do you think about them on a jdm bg5 wagon?
coilovers are NO good for the street, their are too many undulations, cracks, potholes, cambered and offcamber corners on city streets, I have heard several drivers especially keiichi tsuchiya (the drift king) strut and spring setups are much better for "spirited" street driving, you will have a bigger contact patch with the road more of the time which means more control. also lowering springs (not too low) and good shocks are much cheaper.

[Huffer]

Open diffs, about a foot of snow with two inches of ice over it and about half an inch of standing water on top of the ice, and a narrow driveway with a drop off that gets steeper and steeper. I probably could have made it if I had either front and rear lsds, left the studded tires on, or if I had been able to get a run at it. But I got open diffs and basic all seasons so right front wheel gets off the ground and I get stuck. I consider smoking tires and not moving at all stuck.

[TGX4776]

played in the snow with my legacy. Having a hard time getting around to putting it up for sale... thinking about trading it for a beater 1st gen impreza with rust and dents if i can find one. with cash on their end of course.

[Dead91silvia]

I've been working on my BD this afternoon... Thought I would roll the car forward to clean the engine bay and the damn thing wont roll... Come to find out, you cant use 215/50/17's on 05 GT wheels, on a BD... rubs on the rear strut... ugh... Gonna look for some wheel spacers are a temp fix, then get the 45's when I have $500 to dump on tires..

[Danny-G]

C.E.L came on, code 14. Injector 1 is messing up. I haven't gotten the injector out of the rail but I got the battery unhooked to reset the ecu and see if the code goes away. Hopefully it does and I somehow fixed it without pulling the injector.

[Huffer]

^ yeah...pretty much. I don't even remember why I wanted it or what condition it was in. It has a spun rod bearing right?

No, I think it was a complete engine, was dragged out of my old BG GT. Some 200k miles on it, was leaking from the valve covers and rear main seal. Ran like a top (minus the normal piston slap) though.

[03 Subaru GT]

Found out my passenger side headlight is out. Turns out that the wiring was botched so I need to get new wiring for it

[Huffer]

Snapped a brake caliper bracket-to-hub bolt yesterday. Glad it happened less than a mile from home, rather than on the freeway 30mins earlier. Spent 2 hours messing around with the staff at two auto parts stores when I should have just gone to the hardware store, bought the M12x1.25 hex head bolt (35mm long) and a 1/2" split washer and just fixed the problem.

Oh, awesome! In that case once i get home I'll re-gasket/timing belt it and drop it into the 97' GT I gave my future father in law as a project car haha

[MRLancaster]

Well scrapped the wrx swap, hopefully picking up a lightly modded BD this week or next to replace the BH :)
The BH will be parked and engine and transmission wise slowly parted out, and have it set aside to start a full sti swap in the future.

Got my quad-pod a-pillar today! Gonna look fancy! :)

Damn you dont waste time!

[MRLancaster]

hahahaha nope. :) I wish I could hunt down the guy with the BD. He was like I really want to sell it blah blah blah, and Im dying for him to reply to pick up the Legacy. >.<

LOL vans... I had a 96' dodge caravan the shorty one with a v6 and awd! it was a riot drifting in parking lots with that thing :smt023 better awd than my outback for sure, till I get the RS 5spd and rear diff.

[Danny-G]

Don't get me wrong, I like driving it but its fwd... I wish it was awd. And that 3.0 isn't very good on gas, especially when you have a heavy right foot. I do like the power of the three liter though but still would rather be driving my car cause I can see the road after dark.

[kimokalihi]

I drove a 96 plymouth voyager in high school for a year or two. My mom's minivan. I hit the speed governor many times in that thing. 112 I believe it was. Drove straight crazyness in that van with my friends and I put an alpine head unit and subwoofer in the hatch. Sounded pretty good. Raced my friend's mazda MPV with the 3.3 (I think or 3.5 or something) and it had a 5 speed auto I think. He beat me. :( Then the cops showed up and they lectured everyone who was there on street racing and then clowned on our cars (there were also riced out hondas on the scene) and asked why we don't race real cars like the muscle cars they drove back in their day when they were illegally street racing, lol.

[98legwag]

Took it to emissions...it passed.

[Okin DaVanh]

Stopped by where I left it parked. Checked it over once again.... found out that it was leaking antifreeze near the waterpump. Waiting for some cash or a waterpump to fall out the sky! lol

[Dead91silvia]

Well it has been a productive evening..

Loaded my BD on the trailer to take in for frame work tomorrow....

And the Wagon got tons done!
-pulled broken sunroof glass out and cleaned all the broken glass... (hoping to get a new one tomorrow)
-cleaned sunroof drains (the rears were plugged)
-adjusted sunroof assembly
-adjusted driver and right front door glass (they had walked up and were catching on the trim)
-replaced rear center garnish (was cracked and leaking)
-replaced license plate bulb
-replaced cluster bulb and cleaned dust behind face
-tightened nuts for right side tail light
-replaced blown fuse for mirrors and cig lighter...

All the stupid things I could have done in a few hours to make the car that much nice to drive and I do it just before I plan to sell it! ugh... LOL :smt017 :smt005

Added DIY LATCH anchors to the back seat. These will complete the system, perfectly complementing the deck LATCH previously installed.
I pulled the bolts, then had to grind out the anchor's 10 mm hole to accept the car's 12 mm bolt
I used Fixe climbing anchors with rap rings (load bearing to 18 Kn or 4046.51 pound force, or 18,000 joules/meter)
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/01/032040_300x373gif-1.jpg

under rear seat.
I attached them to the seat belt anchors
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/01/P1030807JPG-1.jpg

The outer seat belt anchors have a captive nut on a plate (visible in the rear wheel well), so I assume the inner anchors are similar
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/01/P1030821JPG-1.jpg

I chose the outer seatbelt anchor as it's load bearing and structural for shock loads, when compared to the seat mounting point.

Inverted the seatbelt's positioning bracket, to accommodate the anchor in appropriate orientation

Fixe climbing anchor with ring anchor $5.99 (x4), and a little grinder action, and now I can anchor 2 car seats (2 yr old toddler, and NEW baby boy (born 1/23/2012)) in the sedan, WITH the modern LATCH anchoring system rather than the lame seat belt method.

[TireIron]

I have a water pump that was pulled at 100K from a WRX when doing a timing belt, nothing wrong with it. Or I can also pull the one off the 2.5 from the 98 legacy I have in my basement that also had no problems. I'm in MASS also, maybe 20 bucks for the WRX one or nothing for the one from the legacy 2.5. Let me know if you're interested, just be sure to get a new SUBARU gasket from the dealer for the pump and the thermostat housing, not parts store ones.

Also, you're sure it's the pump and not the t-stat housing or the hoses down there right? There are a few small hoses that attach and run up over the motor to the heater core and such.

I had one go out on me when driving to Oregon. Took out my timing belt at the same time (melted half of it, but never snapped). A new one is like $60ish if I remember right.

[Okin DaVanh]

A new one is like $60ish if I remember right.

Yeah, $65 was the cheapest I could find when I called around. The dealer was a hair close to $100 and I found a few EBay specials (don't know about the quality tho) for just over $45.

While it saddens me to see you did not get a BD, or another subaru at all, that is one sexy wagon.

I went out between taking the dog to the vet and my eye appointment and played with my new gopro camera. Still learning it...it makes my bad axle sound even more horrible.

@Perdue- I love subaru's but I just wanted to change it up a bit, since I will be swapping the Legacy over a period of time. Figured I'd get another brand car for daily. And there werent many wagons too choose from around my area that were in my price range. It was this, a focus wagon, saturn wagon, or Saab. And I loved this and the saab, but the saab I was looking at has a whole lot of issues. So I went for this one. :)

Had to go back and look at it. I didn't realize how short (from front to back) it was.

Let's see that mounted on the car!

Don't worry I will mount it once it warms up here, that way if i have to bondo or glass it won't crack

[kimokalihi]

It always cracks when people use body filler to attach or blend scoops into their hoods. It's not designed for that use.

True.

"Welded" to the Factory Legacy scoop, cut out the middle/Trim the WRX scoop to fit and then weld "If" what ever it's made out of is identical. Remember: This is still all in theory, and is alot of work. Now with that said, Get creative maybe?

Removed Go Fast Bits mbc, installed Grimmspeed 3 port ebcs, rebuilt hks ssqv on the Wrx, and picked up a Wrx exhaust for the leggy.
