What have you done to your car today?

[Boxer Wagon]

Fixed my positive battery terminal (it had a tendency to simply not work), did a custom re-core of my locks for my roof rack, used that white wax stuff on the front end (looks goooood), quik waxed the whole shabang after a wash, re-aimed my headlights to better suit the crazy bright 4300ks from the retrofitsource, and tried to figure out where to take my car to get an inspection sticker.

He's already GOT a lifted Subie.


Ahh, BUT one can't have too many! :smt005

[Subafreak]

Just need one for every occasion.

I did finally make a front driveshaft for the lifted one. Still need front axles though.

Today I got pissed off at my JDM projectors, because the lenses are crazed and I can't do anything about it. I'm going to cut my losses, clean them up a bit, convert the beam pattern, reassemble, and move on to plan B. I'm just going to do a retrofit in some USDM two piece lights and sell my JDM lights later on. Or maybe I'll make a male mold from the JDM lens and form a new clear lens... time will tell.

If someone has a set of two piece USDM lights and corners, sell 'em to me cheap and I'll love you forever.

[unsullied_spy]

I installed my new JVC Arsenal KD-AHD39.

Mmmm... Beats the crap out of my stock one. Now I just need a drill to install my Boston sx60 component speakers in the front doors.

Bostons installed. Well, half of them, I need to drill holes in the tweeter mounts so the wiring can fit through.
Drill holes for the wiring? I used factory tweeter pods for my Boston SE 60 tweeters without any modification at all--the wires just sneak down between the tweeter pod and the door panel totally hidden from view. Just a piece of 3m adhesive pad on the back to make sure everything stayed together right. Been running that setup for 2 years without any issues.

As for what I've done with my car today I looked at it, sitting there in the garage for the Summer, thinking I could supercharge my Mustang for less money than what the new engine for my PoS is costing me...

Finished my lights... there's a bunch of sanding pigtails I didn't bother getting out since the lenses are shot anyway with all the crazing. They'd look amazing if the lenses weren't shitty.

so i went to rkrenickis house today and he did a hell of a job putting it all together! had to de-pin the 3 connectors to reconnect all 3 connectors. if it was me i wouldve just snipped the entire harness out and pasted the BFM in lol

"I had a BFM put in and he did a hell of a job putting it all together" is what it should say lol

Used Turtle Wax's headlight restoration kit and it came out quite nice, also hand washed the car and polished out some scuffs and scratches.

No pics, but I put in the Tokico HTS adjustable struts in up front, replace a strut mount, put in my new tranny mount, checked my motor mounts, replaced my tie rod sleeves, replaced my driver's side axle, got an inspection, and got my car aligned.

[1996Battlewagon]

What do you mean?it was a joke...

Damnit! I thought you knew some secret about how to fix the ujoint without having to get an entire driveshaft.

Regardless, my cheap ass now has to hunt down a driveshaft for less than what Subaru wants for one brand new (about $800). Also, it might be just because there is no driveshaft but my shifter is out of place. First gear is now right about where 3rd is and I don't even think there is enough wiggle room to properly select reverse. I hope that everything will go back into alignment when the driveshaft is installed and that nothing is really really messed up.

[Neatfellen]

[Grimmrican]

Sounds like u need a shifter link bushing. I had severe sloppy shifting in my BK. Also looks like u need some u-joints nt the whole driveshaft. Check ur nearest parts stores for u joints. Obviously it's only 2 which should be the same and are the transfer case an rear diff ujoints. And u joints aren't that much money either. I believe moog's are around 20$ and drive works are around 10-15$

if you're on USMB or dirtyimpreza, look up i5racer he had a BD that's being parted out and probly has a driveshaft.
About the shifter out of place: the arm is upside-down. I've done this a couple of times :smt011
You'll just need to pull the console and boot (unscrew the knob from the shaft), then pull the bolt that mounts the lever arm to the selector stub from the transmission. Then just spin the shifter arm 180 deg and re-bolt.

U have to cut the pipe that stretches over from the passenger head, bolt it all up and fill the gap with a pipe coupler and weld it.

If you're dual port, you're good to go.

Keaton brought over his 2.5RS for a wash last night, went ahead and did mine while I was at it. First wash in almost 3 weeks. My elm327 mini showed up as well, so I used torque to clear out my PO420 from the unwrapped header.

Yeah, some of them fit and some of them don't... mine went on without modification, but when Keaton put them on his car he had to use ratchet straps to pull them wider to go on.

[Grimmrican]

Well it's all good at least it fit lol and now I has le rumble lol

[Wiscon_Mark]

I had to put the driver's side on the studs, and then wrench the passenger side on the studs. Once it heated up and cooled down a bit, it molded into the correct fit :lol:

But there's no difference in actual fit between the two, just a difference in every single chinese UEL header on the market.

Worked on my JDM power mode button. Finally got a way to make it look good. Just need to paint the thing its going in and then wait for my friend to be available to wire it in.

In that picture it was still plastidipped. You can also see where the dremel slipped. I this one it has been covered with vinyl to match the dash pieces around it. I just need my friend to solder it in. I already have a fog light switch working for the power mode. I will reuse the ground set up of that. This is going in under the radio so I will tap power of that for the light in this switch. Hopefully will get it put in next weekend.

Got my first estimate to paint my JDM trim bits, GT-B Limited bumper, and to fix this hood, ~700-$800. Or whole car repaint, ~$3000. More here:

Painted my lights to get them ready for the projectors. UPS is bringing my goodies this afternoon. A quick bench test at the shop to make sure the bi-xenon solenoid has no issues, and then into my housings they go.

I heard you were going to be putting projectors into USDM light fixtures and I did not expect them to look nearly so awesome! Aside from the projector lenses themselves, the black reflectors is a big WIN, and the USDM outer lens cover has a cool grid pattern that looks unexpectedly great too! Nice work! :smt023

Doesn't really sound like a plug-and-play retrofit, so hopefully people will still buy our 4Zero1 JDM harnesses (https://sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=25573) when they decide on JDM lights after all ;)

Actually Cam, it damn near is! Aside from yes you do HAVE to remove the lense from the housing. The paint and all that is just extra work Thom decided to do.

[Thomistopheles]

With my retrofit, the MotoControl harness plugs right in... but you're still mounting the control box, grounds, power, ballasts, cutting the hell out of your housings to mount the projector, spending hours tuning the projector for optimal performance and tweaking alignment, adjusting the alignment of the HID bulbs in the bulbs holders to get the hot spot in the perfect position for the brightest high beams and evenly distributed low beam... Converting my JDM projectors to LHD cutoff took maybe 90 minutes, and install with the 4Zero1 JDM harnesses (https://sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=25573) would be a breeze. Pretty much 3 bolts, plug in the adapter, and you're done.

Stuff I did to my car yesterday... went to the shop I do my detailing work at and installed my bugeye seats, added my second factory under seat subwoofer, and had one of my installer buddies disassemble and clean the inside of my head unit. Previous owner spilled shit and it got inside the HU, and the pots needed cleaning too. Way too damn hot... 100°F inside the shop.

Question: on the JDM headlights which color are the wires that need to be grounded
To keep the lows on with the high beams? I just pulled this from the DIY on JDM projectors.


To keep the High Beams on, as was stated earlier, take the yellow wire (low beam ground) from each light, cut it from the harness and ground it to a body point. I used the outer bolts for the headlights using eye hooks.

Thanks to everyone for their help! :smt006

they did in some gen 1 legacies and the blip in 95 maybe 96 some were 3.90 (like my 95 L was)...
but yeah I guess by default it's a better bet it would be 4.11 :smt012

My world changed after I'd been lifted running 3.90s for like 7 years then changed to a 4.11. It was amazing! it drives like stock now even with 26.5" ATs.
I can only imagine how sweet it would be with the stocker 24" tires!!

Only way I know is that its tagged on the rear transfer

I've never seen a new gen diff with a tag... i take that back a couple gen 1 legacies in junkyards had tags, but other than that only old gen soobs.
I trust they came with tags (my FSM says to check) but I've never seen a new gen with one.

How would I check this?

You can call your dealer and ask them. give them the VIN and or trans code (side of the transmission by the starter)

The famous subaru transmission chart on the interwebs shows mine incorrectly, and it doesn not have the exact trans code as is on my stock transmission. I thin your best bet is to call the dealer with the given info, they should be able to decifer and tell you.

Hey, since you've been into your dash cluster recently... Any chance you happened to notice an indicator (maybe not wired or bulbed) that just says "LO"? I remember seeing someone somewhere a long time ago post a pic of that years ago... I wonder if I have it in my 95, but since we in the States didn't get that option, its not connected/fused, so I haven't had my instrument cluster apart to look for it... Nor until recently have i had reason to look for it.
I know, randumb question just curious though.

Yeah, the Forester is the same, but I didn't need to replace the front part there.

I like that aftermarket one. Looks like it stiffens things up a bit all the way across. I wonder how that interferes with the exhaust though.

In other news, I got the rails on. Front end feels a little stiffer and less rattle-ey over bumps and it's ready for the alignment now!

Weird, I've getting a lot of that recently... lol
It's funny tho, even the door cards are camo, and I wasn't going for an army car. It seems to have just turned out that way.

[Grimmrican]

Lol no matter. It looks awesome. Well done on the paint job

[Navi271]

^Thank you very much sir!

[Grimmrican]

No problem. At least u can blow by police now and they'll just think it was a gust of wind

[Felipe]

Yesterday i got tired of hearing this lose clanking noise everytime i hit a bump or dip on my front driver wheel. Jacked up the car and took wheel off, nothing, all is normal. By this time i was wtf lol well since i have the car up and wheel off i decided to take apart the breaks to clean and inspect them. And WALLA!!!!! found out the inside breakpad had a plate thing. Well that plate thing fell off and got stuck between rotor, caliper and axel.... Bent and warped. Put everything back and no more noise!!!!

[Grimmrican]

So ur brake pad* shims fell off and got all messed up? I believe it those shims suck ass lol they're supposed to reduce brake noise.....obviously not in UR case lol

[superu]

Just bought some new rims for my BE 18x8

Yeah

Good thing it didnt cut the boot or cause ugly break damage

[Grimmrican]

Lol yea good thing. My dad had a similar problem in his accord the other day but was more of a whooshing noise. I took the tire off and saw the dust shield behind the rotor rubbing hard against the rotor. I pushed it back some and no more whooshing. Saved my dad some money as he thought it was warped discs or pads lol

[Felipe]

And there was wheel shaking... Now theres not lol

I Haven't been around these parts in a while - how's the dual range box holding up?

[98legwag]

The BK greeted me this morning with a dead battery. It barely started the car to go home from work yesterday. The battery is about 7 years old so I don't think the alternator is an issue too. At least I hope not. I had drive my POS BH to work this morning.

(I've got a couple new youtube videos up, check them 1996 battlewagon http://www.youtube.com/user/aspleenic/videos)

There are some noises.. it turns out a lot of them were a dead end link on FSB, so disconnect and happier. :smt023
still some mystery noises though but it climbs like a mule!

[TireIron]

Isn't low range amazing? I can't wait till I get back to working on my truck and end up with about a 75:1 crawl ratio. Then again it's needed to push the size tires i run with a 4-banger. Gonna be so much different than the 30:1 I have now.

[Grimmrican]

While driving today I had my son in the back seat and could hear him talking to himself and laughing. it sounded like he was sitting on a washer machine. So I took a look under the car and noticed I need a new end link on the rear passenger side. Which also explains why the car kinds sways on hard turns. I've been trying to catch up on bills and nothing yet. I just keep losing and my car keeps getting neglected with parts :( it's really starting to piss me off that I can't do nothing to fix it for now.

Y E S, I love having a low AND full time AWD, ooh AND 25 mpg!! :smt007
yeah I bet the 75:1 is pretty sweet! Is it an old 'yota 4-banger? what are each of those rigs?

I know mine isn't much when compared to the 4x4 truck world, but mine adds up to 20.5:1 (4.11 axle ratio helps :cool: ) in an AWD, 4-door sedan :twisted:

[grayguy]

I failed at doing a brake job.

[98legwag]

Changed a burned out fog light bulb. It lasted all of about 3 weeks. Thats what I get for cheap ebay bulbs. Oh and yesterday I replaced the dead battery. That lasted 7 years.

[Felipe]

I failed at doing a brake job.

How soo?




Because now after taking my breaks apart and taking that stupid lil plate out... Its now making a loud clicking/clacking sound at random times. Sounds like axel noise, buttt.... It only does it when wheel is strait and goes away when turning left or right ooorrr when applaying the breaks. ????

I broke a caliper bolt off and then couldnt get the seized ebrske shoe off the rotor

Oh my god, I love your license plate frame!

[Subafreak]

That is an awesome frame. I need that for my 74. Since I have the back debadged most people mistake it for an old Datsun half the time. That would only add to the confusion. Lol.

[The_momo]

I installed leather front and rear seats from an outback into my Brighton, no more ugly worn out blue seats!

I also found a cargo cover at the salvage yard I got the seats from, and they GAVE it to me! Heck yes.

It came off an '80 brat (which sat in a field for 13-15 yrs) that I got in the mid 2000s... I'm pretty sure it's original for that car when it was purchased used in the late 80s :smt025

If that's all good you'll have to bake it and split the light to add sealant. Don't use silicone to reseal, use 3M window weld ribbon... which is butyl rubber like the OEM sealant. If you have any questions about doing this, shoot me a PM.

I couldn't find any cracks and it looks like the bulb holder is seated properly. It does how ever look like like the light was baked and taken apart before I bought them. I am at least the 3rd owner of them. There is a lot less condensation inside today there there was the last few days.

[Thomistopheles]

They just need a bit more sealant then.

I finally feel accepted! lol, I've been getting and returning subie waves a lot lately even from turbo Impreza's!

I honestly don't care if I'm "accepted," but it's interesting what a hood scoop and different paint job can do.

[Thomistopheles]

It's probably the scoop that did it. A lot of WRX/STI guys around me only initiate waves to subarus with scoops, since a lot of the non scooped scoobs are hippie haulers and old people.

[Wiscon_Mark]

I got my 09 Legacy programmed and cut today. Definitely liking the lighter pocket.

Now I should go buy a 400-500$ hood from JDM land just so I can be waved at lol. But all seriousness ever since I did put a black scooped hood on my bk I started getting waves and flashes.

[Wiscon_Mark]

You don't have to get a JDM hood to get a scoop. A Baja turbo hood will do fine.

[Grimmrican]

You don't have to get a JDM hood to get a scoop. A Baja turbo hood will do fine.thank u mark. I actually didn't know that. I thought it was a JDM thing. And didn't even know bajas came turbo either lol

Oh dang! That's an awesome idea! Where'd you snag the blank from/how much?

[Wiscon_Mark]

They're $37.50 on eBay, free shipping. Couple of bucks more to get it cut at the hardware store. The programming of the remote is easyish, and if you have anything before an '05, you don't have to deal with the immobilizer.

If you have anything '05+ then you have to either fork over the money to get the chip programmed or you can do microsurgery on your existing key and pry the chip out and place it in the new key.

It doesn't really have better range than the old FOB, but it seems more consistent.

I replaced the clutch master cylinder with an exedy one that I removed the delay valve from. Much more direct clutch feel and no more "slipping" from the faulty delay valve kicking in every time I shift. Pedal feel is also a lot lighter, which is good - it used to be hard as a rock.

Also forgot to mention I fixed my trunk latch. The damn thing worked one minute. Let the wife pull the handle to the latch and decided to shit the bed. I finally got it open with a broom stick from the rear passenger seat and saw this little tab on the trunk latch.
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2013/08/sagusuhu-1.jpg

Apparently if the tab is flipped up it cancels the trunk from being popped open. For valet purposes or police trying to open UR trunk when there's dead bodies and explosives back there. Now all would've been great if my damn key opened the trunk but for some damned reason it doesn't.

After that episode I went and cleaned the glasses on my car (which haven't been touched for months!) and decided to clean my wiper blades

[Wiscon_Mark]

Programming is easyish in what way? I am intrigued by this....

If you have the Alpine system it's a bit tricky and take a few tries to get the car into programming mode, but it's not impossible to do at home, by yourself:

1. Unlock all doors
2. Open & Close driver's door
3. Put key in ignition
4. Rapidly switch the key back and forth between "lock" and "on" (not start, and don't pull the key out) 10 times within 15 seconds. You must do so rapidly, it may not work the 1st time.
5. Open & Close driver's door. The horn should honk once to indicate you're in programming mode
6. Hit any functional key (say lock or unlock) on the remote you wish to program. Horn will honk twice to indicate successful programming. You can program any additional remotes (up to 4 total) at this time.
7. Remove key from ignition to end programming mode. Horn should honk 3 times.

Cars101.com has these instructions too, but I found my experience varied slightly. Just make sure you fire the key rapidly back and forth quickly, and it'll work.

Note: This is for the Alpine keyless system found in Subarus between '99 and '04 (rounded edges fob, not the square old fob).

So, the 2nd gen Legacy RSB fits into an 03 Impreza Outback (Outback Sport?)? Or an 03 Outback Sedan (BE)? And by Gen 1 OB, you mean a 96-99?.. aka an outback trimmed 2nd Gen Legacy?

96-99 Legacy Outback rsb will fit 92-99 Legacy's that originally had a rsb with no modification, will need lateral links swapped if it's a non-rsb car originally. The same is also true for 93-07 Impreza.

The rear suspension on the GD (02-07) Impreza is very similar to the BD (95-99) Legacy. He swapped his 15mm bar from his Legacy onto an 03 Impreza. His deduction was that since an 18mm outback bar is an upgrade for the Legacy, you could put an 18mm Outback (BG) bar on a GD Impreza. Plenty more WRX bars are available from that chassis though, since so many WRX owners upgrade. It would probably be easier to get a WRX bar. Not sure exactly what size they are, but they must be similar.

The 03 Legacy (BE) has a completely different rear suspension from the others, it wouldn't work.

Yeah you got it.
95-99 legacy rear sway bar fits into an 03 OBS (and I assume by extrapolation, 00-07 Imprezas).

I swapped a 95 legacy sedan bar into an 03 OBS wagon and since I swapped a 98 legacy OB wagon bar into that 95 legacy sedan, I assume it would also go into the OBS too.


While I admit I don't know them all, body codes are more accurate in these situations. :smt002 ;)




I swapped my 95 legacy RSB into my wife's 03 OBS. straight swap and went from 13mm to 15mm.

BUT this also means you could swap in a gen 1 OB RSB and go to 18mm!!


I am a bit confused by this post..

GT-B died about 4 miles from home... Fuel pump took a dump... Had an Outback one chilling in the shed... Took an hour to fix. Good to go now.

Have a take off mid-pipe and muffler from a FRS-need to see if the muffler could be made to fit the '91 FWD sedan

Aaaaaand?

What is it? Do you like it? What does it sound like?

Your post is useless with pictures!

Joking, your Outback looks great.

Replaced all 3 gaskets for the exhaust manifold. One of them was leaking badly, and one of the bolts was loose as well.
Now there's much less noise coming from up front, and more out of the rear!

Today I took away my spare keys to my car and handed my gf her own damn car keys as now her Bh is running. Was a win-win scenario
