What have you done to your car today?

[rougeben83]

Installed an ERZ hiflow crosspipe to finally match my pnp exhaust manifolds (hits boost slightly sooner, better off-boost pull), fixed an exhaust leak that that install made ugh.

Washed and waxed the car.

[98legwag]

Is the bulb exploding, or just burning out?

The glass is still intact. But it gets really hot and then fails. There are what look like burn marks on the inside of the glass.

[Grimmrican]

What gauge is ur wiring?

[grayguy]

That's a nice diff protector, easy and good access to drain plugs. Mine only has holes/ports. . . . provides a good opportunity for spillage, yours looks more functionally open.


I built the new axle back with the Flowmaster40 I picked up and a 3" U+J bend from Amazon.com

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2013/11/20131110_135059_zpsfdf83f3b-1.jpg

It's much quieter than the indivia exhaust I did have. It might be too quiet...


I have no idea what brand it is, came in the car. It makes it really annoying to get a 3" exhaust past there

Went out to properly diagnose my gear/diff problems. It turns out transaxles do not work at an optimum level when they are 3 quarts of oil low.

As of now, it seems to be okay. All gears work with no noise and the shifter, even though mechanically damaged, engages each gear with no grinds. I just have a leaky transmission. Great. Another leak to add to my list. This car...

[Muse]

Better a leaky trans than a broken trans.

unused: FWD, AT oil temp, Height Hi, ABS, TCS and 4 other blank spots in the bottom bank, and above the the center bank unused TCS with a dotted circle.

TCS and ABS were options in the FWD model, similarly optional was the automatic transmission.
I have yet to identify the "height hi" meaning. AFAIK, there hasn't been adjustable ride suspension for a while. . . :smt017

ALSO, I took a cruise in Moab...
From 191 @ 313 up [past then turning around and back ;] to Dubinky Well rd to Spring Canyon Bottom down to the green river (similar to but shorter than mineral bottom rd). Then an additional leg goes on Dubinky well rd to Bartlett wash rd to 191.

Past few weeks I was thinking that I was rice-ing my car out slowly but surely. Also had some doubts about how it sounds. At work we have bay windows and my gf was coming back with some bfast (same day I heard the axles pop) and I heard a subi o.0 was my reaction. I looked and saw that it was my car. I fell in love with my car again. Idk why I had my doubts but the way the sun was hitting the car and the way it moved and sounded was just pure bliss. Compared to the pics from the first day I got it until today I now see all of my hard work and well spent money into her.

Replaced my plug wires to cure a little stutter I've been having when pressing the pedal down hard. Had the same problem in my last car, only far worse. New plug wires fixed it on the other car, so I guessed I'd try it on this one. Actually just reused the ones from the old car, they had less than 3k miles on them. And it worked. Free fixes are good fixes. Also replaced the upper radiator hose. Not sure if it's the reason I've been losing coolant, but it's worth a shot.

Was doing some touge-ing on the way to work and for some reason decided to slow down. As I slowed down a huge tree fell and smashed all over the road. I was literally about 10-15 feet from where I watched it fall. Could've been on my car or worse done some real damage to me. Shit was def crazy

If I use it in my 91 it won't be an issue since they only do tail pipe emissions.

Looked at an '04 Legacy wagon (It's an L, with a 5mt, and cloth interior) that a friend of mine is selling. I want it, but there's a laundry list of things that are wrong with it. Axles, Control arm, some fuel issue, not to mention the body looks like it's been worked over by a pack of angry Dwarven miners. (Yes, I play DnD, shuttup) It was his mother's before it was his, and she drove like she stole it. He's been more gentile to it, but he delivers pizza in it. It's got about 200K on the clock.
But, he's asking only $300 of me for it, and it's got no body rot, and the head gaskets have been done.

The question is not "Should I buy it?" because I know I am gonna (though, where the money'll come from, I dunno.) The question is, should I save it, or should I use it for parts to upgrade my BK?

[Thomistopheles]

$300? Damn. I'd part it out and keep the flakes if it were me.

Tonight I added an aux jack to my ashtray so the aux cable coming off my eclipse deck doesn't get worn from use. Last night I took my car to a buddy's shop so I wouldn't have to change my oil on a snowy gravel driveway, swapped over a rear o2 sensor from his 96 L parts car and called dibs on the folding mirrors off it.

[Muse]

See, that's my first thought... But, then again, we get rust here about as bad as you do in Wisconsin. And this car has none... Plus, I'm discovering I really don't like parting out a car.

[98legwag]

Swap the front sway bar from it to the BK. It should be bigger. Buy it, take what you want. Part out easy stuff to get off. Scrap the rest.

[geckoboy86]

I'd say buy it, if it costs less than two grand to fix then your ahead of the game (I bought a 01' legacy wagon with 182k for 3 grand in Jan., so 300 for a third gen. is a steal). If anything find another third gen that needs a motor and has a decent body and swap the motor and snowflakes in it.

Well I ordered the rest of the led's to finish off my interior lighting, been missing the t3's for the hvac unit.

Also changed the plugs, which were freakin awful looking, in the process two of the ends ripped out. Luckily advance had some in stock, anybody else realize that auto-lite professional grade were Subaru wires? I didn't until today, plug end of the boots had the fuji logo on them just like the stockers did. No pictures because lazy...

Getting her ready for a near 900 mile trek tomorrow for some goodies.

[Asphalt Art]

Finally completed the frustration of having a title for my car. Local yard is now having a 50% off sale and has a multitude of Impreza/Legacy/Forester chassis within.

Might snag an OB bumper and support just to have it for later (yes I buy lots of parts and never use them).

[Sambo]

Sambo - did you seal it with anything? If you didn't, the yellow haze will come back in a hurry.


Actualy no i didnt but its been a few months now and its still looking good.

[Muse]

Changed my pos. battery terminal.

[Navi271]

My car hit 171k. I swapped out summer wheels for winter wheels, and I had to make sure the new brake lines would clear the smaller diameter wheels. They barely cleared so a little adjustment was needed for peace of mind.

Oil was next, as well as checking all the other fluids. I found that the lower radiator hose still leaks barely where it connects to the water pump coupler. One of the hoses for the transmission cooler was barely leaking as well. I readjusted and tightened up those connections. When I ran the car to make sure there were no more initial leaks I found my EGR tube is leaking where it connects to the intake manifold. Last time we took out the engine the threads got trashed. For now JB weld seals it, and works for about a year or so until it can't handle the heat, cracks, and breaks off. I'll do that next weekend.

I also replaced the front and rear windshield wipers.

T'was a good weekend!

[98legwag]

Got a factory underseat sub at the pick and pull. Should've never sold the two in the wagon. This one will be going back in it. Oddly enough this was in a Brighton with no power locks or windows, but it had a factory sub.

[grayguy]

Moved my broken 98' from my dads to my shop to start tearing it apart for the mega project

The main is a aftermarket one that's about 1/3 the size of the OEM one, and where I had a secondary cat that is straight piped now.

[1996Battlewagon]

^^^Gotcha. I ditched my secondary cat for a test pipe as well but kept the front one because completely catless street cars are for douches.

before I understood backpressure I thatt catless thru 2.25" and a magnaflow kills ALL low end on an ej22, THEN I learned about avenging in the exhaust and the backpressure the cats provide than NA EJ engines need. AAANd that a resonator (in the.form of a cherry bomb) makes for a good.set-up.
One learns that subarus are NOT like other Japanese cars (ahem...Hondas) and that other than caring for the air I breath and the quality of that air exiting the exhaust pipe....yeah cats are good!! ,)

Pro, I really like your car and your postings but I stand by my opinion. I have very close friends who have gone catless so maybe douche is too harsh but I just don't like the idea.

[Thomistopheles]

You do what you have to when your cats decide to snap off, collapse, clog, etc. My car has a track pipe because my wallet isn't full of gold ingots, and purchasing new cats or a hfc would have meant not paying my bills at the time. I like sleeping in a bed in a nice warm apartment, and eating food is pretty nice too. :lol: It'll get a HFC when I can afford it, but it isn't my highest priority and I won't be losing any sleep over it.

In other news, I has new decals. I've been waiting for these to show up since August.

Sold my shift knob to a local guy with a 98 GT, and his car wouldn't run when it was time to head out. I stuck my nose in his coolant overflow, and it reeked of exhaust gasses... popped off the rad cap, no green to be seen and the inside had a nice black sooty oily film. Went from running and driving fine to oil in the coolant, combustion gasses in the coolant, barely running. It barely limped half a mile to his house with the misfires, I was almost ready to bust out my tow strap. It's at another legacy dude's house now, I went down to hang out while he pulled the engine and tore it down. He said it took several tries to get it to run long enough to roll it off the trailer into the garage.

Tried to locate the fog relay so I could make them run without the headlights! Failed, too much garbage under the dash, I think its hiding behind one of the Keyless Entry modules, which are scheduled for demo in a week or two! I'll try again when that stuff is out of the way

Installed the factory sub that I got from WESTcoast! Damn it sounds good for such a lil speaker!

Wired in a 12v socket for the rear passengers.

Used Meguiars version of Forever Black on the door moldings, door handles, wiper bezel and rear bumper "outback" insert. Sure makes the car look better!

detail on the factory sub wiring? is it pretty plu-n-play into a non-factory sub'd rig? does youe head unit control a sub or does it just go withthe base controls on the head unit?
I got a factory sub and some of its harness yarding last week and have thoughts but little time to research it. I'm hoping I can pretty well just mount it and wire it in? I didn't get the wiring ALL the way to the head unit, but a fair chunk from under the center console. . .

(those of you who have tried this know its a waste of money) nobody carries the correct part. so i bought a spectre box filter and thought... hmm this doesnt look quite big enough to be honest... i pull it out and its like 6 inches short of being a remotely close fit... so after i cashed out and got an oem replacement filter wide open throttle sounds pretty badass with just a standard filter... idk what i did differently but i like the way it pulls. and in the mean time i sprayed carb cleaner in the pcv valve to get more use outta it ran some seafoam through the little tyke. and its running alot smoother. still having idle issues.. but i doubt its the sesnor so next venture is to fien the gasket between the flange and the sensor woo! :smt026

detail on the factory sub wiring? is it pretty plu-n-play into a non-factory sub'd rig? does youe head unit control a sub or does it just go withthe base controls on the head unit?
I got a factory sub and some of its harness yarding last week and have thoughts but little time to research it. I'm hoping I can pretty well just mount it and wire it in? I didn't get the wiring ALL the way to the head unit, but a fair chunk from under the center console. . .

I used the following info, found at http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=749402 Post #4 & editted it down to answer your questions:

Subwoofer (powered, under-seat style)
The harness for this style subwoofer is a "T" -- it connects between the car's radio harness and the stock radio's 14-pin speaker/power connector. The radio gets all 14 wires like before, but the harness also taps two of the speaker outputs (in parallel). It sends those outputs plus ground and +12volt power down the long leg of the "T" to the sub.

From the same post I had to use the pin out, since mine was missing the 2 stereo end plugs. I just tapped it into my conversion harness.


The pins are numbered like this (viewing the connector on the subwoofer, or the wires exiting the back of the T-harness' subwoofer plug):

3 ### 2 1
8 7 6 5 4
The pin-out is as follows:

Pin Function OEM sub harness wire color
1 Right Rear + White/Brown
2 Left Rear + Violet/Brown
3 Ground (NC)
4 Right Rear - Black/Brown
5 Left Rear - Orange/Brown
6 +12V remote on (NC)
7 +12V constant Red/Brown
8 Ground Gray/Brown

NC = No connection — the factory harness has no wire at this pin position
Recent Legacies (and probably other models) have slightly different wire colors, but the pin-out has stayed the same.


If you need any of the factory style plugs, this guy is an awesome source!

It is very plugN play with the Sub harness intact. I will be asking my brother if there is any advantage to wiring it to my headunits Sub out. I'm thinking about a second sub, maybe. Making one for left and one for right. Probably overkill!

Something I didnt expect, our factory door speaker have no tweeters. The sub makes a bit too much bass in the rear without having tweets. Might not be an issue since the sedans have the deck speakers. Also not a worry once you've installed 2way or 3way speakers, which is on my todo list!

good beta.
I started to put aftermarket 2-way door speakers in a gen 1 impreza but ran into depth issues (retaining the factory speaker backing plate). I assume legacy deck and doors may be easier since its a bigger car and maybe more room, OR it maight be like lots of subaru projects, totally interchangable. ;)

Yesterday I washed and waxed my 3.0R Limited and my brother's STI. Then went to a friend's house and fixed the rattling/leaking exhaust on the 98. The wagon now had a custom mid pipe welded to an oem 05 WRX axle back.

I drove it through the snowstorm. I'm constantly amazed by how composed it is when sliding.

Not that I intentionally drift on empty public roads...

[jjay03]

While still waiting on parts for my motor I pulled the rear crossmember and painted the diff with por15. I also replaced a bent hub and putting some poly bushings in the trailing arms. Cant wait to get it back on the road but not that close yet since the heads are still at the machine shop. I want to get into some snow action this year.

I dont see how it could be, the Scion has significantly different connectors for its stereo.

I do not believe that any non-Subaru (except for the SAAB 9-2X, which we all know to be a Subaru underneath) has the same radio connector.

[livinglegacy]

I got a reverse harness for subaru and factory harness for back of scion radio. Both from eBay about $5 each shipped from China. Both harnesses had the wires labeled, so I connected them together very easily. I took the mounting bracket from Subaru and put it on scion radio. After trimming radio surround it worked well. Most expensive part was scion aux cable, about $25 eBay.

if you find one for cheap, scion has some pretty nice factory units. the models just before and just after the one i used have integrated ipod controls. it would have been nice to have that feature, but this is the one that was laying in the garage so it will do. if you look for the model the scion #t1807 is the one i used without ipod controls, just aux input. the t1806 and t1808 both are ipod compatible in case anyone else is thinking of doing this.

Hey guys it's been awhile since I've been on here.

So since my BE is in hibernation I been driving the wife's under-aprreciated BH. Boy does this car need some TLC lol.

So last week during a snow storm the exhaust fell off and I was dragging it kuz I was too lazy to web get under the car..... It finally fell at the cat. Which since falling off no more p0420 code lol definite way to fix that damn code.

Last night I installed brand new! Cats and rebuild the exhaust from scratch by using some old exhaust of of my scrap car BK. 2" all the way back. Sounds awesome. Also installed the front stabilizer bar I bought off Krenicki sometime early this year lol. And te end links with the bar. Car actually turns when I turn the wheel no and with a shit Ton less body roll.

Little by little I'm taking care of her. And I'll be heading to PA at 3am Xmas morning.

Merry Xmas my friends

This happened a few days ago but I have yet to vent. Essentially, my Outback hit a snag that I suspected to happen a long time ago.

I've been having some transmission issues for a while now especially given that the transaxle is the oldest major component on my car excluding the body itself. It has a retrofit throwout bearing from the previous owner, pretty much zero shifter bushings and the u-joint shattered in the summer causing even more damage to the shifter. So, unbeknownst to me, the u-joint breakage damaged the output shaft seal causing a slow leak in gear oil. After a few months, I ran the car completely out of gear oil causing forward motion to pretty much not take place. In desperation, I refilled the transaxle, realized that it worked again, ignored some rotational noise present when the clutch was not engaged and went about my business driving the car every so often while I fiddled with my Jeep.

Last week, I was planning my vacation which would have me driving from Miami to Knoxville. I was going to take my freshly tired up Jeep but hit a snag caused by my flustered mental state - I forgot to renew my Jeep's tags. I have TN tags and getting a renewal in Florida is time consuming and I'm tired of dealing with cops so I made the decision to take the Subaru.

Along the trip, the cars is rocking out at 78 -85 mph no problem until I stop and realize the transmission is making some not to great noises. I had been stopping every so often to check the fluid levels but after about 500 miles, the fluid was falling faster and faster. Now, half way through my trip, I'm having to put in a quart of gear oil about every 100 miles or so. Balls.

I make it home and inspect the car myself thinking it might just be the drainplug leaking. Nope. The entire rear section of the transaxle is caked in gear oil. It's everywhere. I pull the driveshaft and fluid starts to pour out - okay, it's the rear seal. It's Christmas time and honestly, I didn't really want to wrench so my dad says take it to our family mechanic. We do so and the guy says he'll have it back in a day.

A few moments later, I get a call from said mechanic who says it's not just the seal but there is a 4 inch crack in the rear section of the transxle - the center diff. Apparently, a bearing broke causing the piece to fling around in the casing.

Guess who's getting a tranny swap! Balls.

[Grafton]

^ ouch just went through the same thing, I broke teeth off 1st gear, so now the only original part of my car is the uni-body.

the replacement transmission has a little bearing noise so I'm *planning* to rebuild the original with a LSD, and spur gears

[famous1994]

Happy New Year! Now that the Holiday is over, the auto paint supply shops are open again and I was able to bring along a GT-B wheel and compare some colors to see what matches.

Firstly, the gent who was working the shop counter was extremely helpful, and seemed quite knowledgeable about factory wheels in general, and even knew a little bit about refinishing them. Due to the semigloss sheen and the nature of the minor chipping, it was his opinion that the wheels were actually powdercoated at the factory, rather than painted with an automotive basecoat/clearcoat-type finish. He thought it would be difficult, though not impossible, to apply filler, primer, and a matching color base and clear to touch up the scrapes for a perfect repair, even if using my airbrush. We looked through the book of OEM automotive colors as I told him about my online research to see if there was a Subaru match. However, because of its powdercoated finish, he didn't think that there would be a manufacturer "paint code" per se for this wheel.

As far as Subaru colors go, color code 93H ("Champagne Gold Pearl/Sierra Gold Metallic") proved to be too light, but 89N ("Titanium Pearl/Warm Gray Opal Metallic"), common as the lower accent on most 2000-2004 Legacy Outbacks, was quite close, if a touch too dark. (Perhaps these wheels have the closest powdercoat version of the paint color Titanium Pearl). The finish of the wheel can be seen through the oval-shaped hole in the paint sample in the photos below:

The clerk also found a Subaru accent and wheel color that was also quite close (I didn't catch a photo of that one). It didn't have a color name or Subaru paint code associated with it, but the manufacturer's number of the PPG-branded DBC finish was #905041. He explained how any color code could be slightly lightened or darkened to make for a better match. At any rate, an estimate for one-half pint of color and associated clear coat and other supplies turned out to be much more than my budget would allow for the time being. Fortunately, the shop also had a wide selection of aftermarket Duplicolor brand automotive spray paint cans, and as luck would have it, there was US domestic Chrysler color, code PKJ ("Light Almond Pearl") that was a very, very close match. I purchased a can and thanked the clerk for his friendly service. I knew that the Duplicolor brand also makes touch-up bottles of their automotive colors. However, the paint shop did not stock these bottles, so I stopped at national chain auto parts store on the way home to pick up Light Almond Pearl paint in a touch-up bottle.

After I arrived home I proceeded to prepare the most flaked and faded of the 4 plastic wheel center caps for primer and paint as a test. After a couple coats of primer had dried, I sprayed 3 light coats of the Light Almond Pearl for even coverage and allowed it to dry. Here it is now midnight, and though I haven't yet seen the freshly-painted cap compared to the wheel finish in true daylight, I am very impressed that I found an off-the-shelf color that is so incredibly close, at least under artificial light:

The left rear hard line was rotted and starting to weep. Caught that just in time. It was a super fun drive taking it in to get aligned.

Yesterday I changed to the oil, today got our first set of winter tires, gave it a wash, and re-polished the headlights. The last polish was done in the springtime, but they had hazed up again already. Gonna have to do the Urethane coating come spring again, as described in Thomistopheles' write-up.

The urethane really works! I've had no hazing in 1.5 years since doing my driver's side headlight.

It does score up a bit easy though, I had to take the rough side of the ice scraper to get all the ice off my headlamps and it scuffed a bit. I'll probably repolish and reseal both headlights in the spring.

[camroncamera]

Today I finished the partial restoration of my 17" GT-B rims. They were in great original condition to begin with, but I wanted to touch up the slight curbing. Even so, it was more challenging than I was hoping. The lips have a specific profile that I wanted to maintain, even upon close inspection. A lot of trial and error, but I learned a lot as I went. It actually would have been easier to completely repaint them, but I was determined to leave the majority of the durable factory powdercoat finish unpainted.

BTW, as I speculated in an earlier post, I can confirm that the original color is basically the powdercoat version of 89N "Titanium Pearl" paint, popular on the lower cladding of most 2000-2004 Outbacks. The match is about 99% accurate, but needs to be tweaked by the paint shop to be considered "perfect".

It is the professional-grade glaze from an autobody supply shop. Works well enough, but I would almost rather have a sort of clay or putty to work with. The glaze is sticky and goopy and cannot really be shaped until it is hardened, and then must be filed sanded to get the desired shape. Par for the course for guys that work with this stuff regularly, I suppose. You may see in the photo the plastic syringe I used to apply exactly where I wanted the glaze to go. If I had used a putty knife, this wheel would have been a disaster, lol. Luckily, only one of the four wheels required glaze. The other three I was able to sufficiently build up enough primer and topcoat (with a lot of sanding and shaping) to fill up all of the nicks in the outer rim. The few nicks in the spokes themselves I tried to blend with the airbrush, but the color and texture match just wasn't close enough, so they were razor bladed, sanded flat, and polished and will just have to be there as-is for "character" :grin:

I had to drill new holes in the door because they didn't line up with the original. Then I used self tapping screws to hold them in. Other than that they fit perfect and I don't have a clue if they are deeper than the stock speakers. My car came with aftermarket speakers to begin with. However there is a decent amount of room behind speakers.

got smashed in-between a 2014 WRX and a Ford excursion, got stopped on a hill with 4 in of snow on top of glare ice. The wrx slid backwards ~30-40 feet hit the lego then it hit the Excursion then the wrx bounced off the front again, and sent me back into the excursion. There was a 3rd hit between the wrx and and the lego where I got on the gas to push back on the wrx.

lost some paint on the bumpers and the plastic on the front will need repaired, and I'll be getting a new trunk lid. The excursion had the hooks in the front bumper and it hit my trunk and bent the lid

Alaignment in front 100% awesome! :smt023
But curiously the rear is off.... :smt017
camber problem in driver rear (maybe not too surprising, impact side) and toe problems in passenger rear (very curious). . .

Finally got around to changing the front brakes

It's amazing the difference in visibility. Although I can definitly see the "JDM" cut off. It's like a diagonal line from high up on the drivers side that dives down to the pass side, but I haven't been flashed yet so I'm just gona roll with it.
I might have gone a bit over kill on the wiring but I wanted to make sure I wouldn't have any problems with it. Lol.
