  1. Between that and David Carter's site I was able to make a harness without a problem.
  2. Are you talking about offroad or something? Shorter sidewalls will be stiffer and do a better job at keeping the tread in contact with the road, providing better grip and increased responsiveness.
  3. To replace everything I listed at a dealer would cost thousands of dollars. You probably only need a control arm and wheel.
  4. Wheels and control arms are the first things to bend so check those first. When I hit a curb awhile back I had to replace pretty much the whole corner: Control arm, wheel/tire, steering knuckle, wheel bearing, tie rod, ball joint, and endlink. I was going a bit faster than 10mph though. I got all the stuff used and did the work myself though so it cost me less than $300.
  5. Pretty sure the I is for Impreza. Like the double L Legacy badges.
  6. I am pretty sure my 05 wrx changer can be set to shuffle one disc or all of them. No weatherband though.
  7. There isn't really an intake specifically for them, but the stock airbox flows more than well enough. A few people have made their own or adapted Impreza parts. For exhaust you can get an e-bay obx or borla replica header and then adapt a wrx catback or have something custom made. Delta makes cams. That is pretty much all as far as power. A company called whiteline makes suspension parts, and most wheels from other subarus will fit (i.e. 16" wrx wheels). Go to bbs.legacycentral.org and SEARCH because this has been covered ad nauseum over there.
  8. yeah, NGK plugs are even in the manual and they should be gapped right if you have the right ones. All you listed is exactly what I use. It's all pretty easy to do, and go with Subaru coolant as well. It's a little different than the stuff on the shelf at a parts store. It took me a few weeks to get the last few little bubbles out of the system. It didn't overheat but you could hear them.
  9. 10,12,14,17,19mm sockets and combo wrenches, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 ratches, a screwdriver/hex bits, aviation snips, a small prybar, vice grips, and a torque wrench along with a few other things. It all fits in a small "under seat" toolbox I got a sears, and I stuck velcro to the bottom so it doesn't slide around the trunk. I have Oil, ATF, a funnel, latex gloves and a flashlight, and removed the trunk box to carry a full size spare.
  10. With something like +50 offset. It should be stamped somewhere on the inside. Steelies are 14x5 and the alloys are 14x5.5.
  11. Phil/bac5.2? He's the only person I know of with (who had) an ABM 94 SS and a dogbox and it was more like 220hp and 250 lb-ft at the wheels.
  12. people selling their stock deck is pretty common on nasioc. I bought an 05 WRX 6-disc cd changer for $60. You'll have to remove the din pocket but otherwise it will plug right in and work in your car.
  13. Here's a set for $250 on ebay. There is no way it should take more than 3 hours, probably less than 2 with air tools and a bench mounted spring compressor. At 3 hours of labor it's about $250 to install at a shop. Add an alignment and shipping and you're at about $600.
  14. yeah, but is yours a turbo? Most (all?) of the n/a Legacies are made in the US, but I think all the sport sedans were made in Japan.
  15. and here's the thread about this: http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=18102
  16. You have to make a harness, and there's a 1/2 din gap. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=749402 http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=28370 I wish I'd gone with a black one with a tape deck because I bet a tape adapter is better than an itrip.
  17. That's fantastic. My itrip sucks and I have a WRX cd-changer. Another option would be swapping in an 07 changer, as they have an aux in. I expect you can get them used for $60.
  18. I'd think maybe a muffler shop would have the other side of that donut flange, and then you could get it welded in place so it will bolt together. I'm currently trying to figure out where to get one. I'll be getting a new exhaust soon and I plan to have a donut gasket flange and extension installed on an e-bay header so it will bolt up to a wrx midpipe.
  19. The only calipers that don't bolt up directly are rear Subaru and Brembo 2-pots, which use a different backing plate. Of course, you'll need a new one anyway with the rear drums. I don't know exactly what is involved in doing the swap, but I'm thinking you'll need to find parts from a car that had 2wd and rear discs. I think 1st gen legacies might be the only cars with that combination. So yeah, any front brakes will bolt right up. The brackets attach directly to the spindle unlike in the rear. I ended up removing most of that filler tube to get my mounts on.
  20. The dust shield is spot welded on in the rear and bolted on up front. So if he just wants to remove the rear shields he can drill out the welds. It's not a big deal to take them off and plenty have because of rust or bigger brakes.
  21. yes they'll bolt in fine. The only problems I know of come with swapping seats with airbags, although they still physically fit. I plan to pick up a set of 02-03 WRX seats to put in my car.
  22. The power light comes on when you stomp it, and changes to a more aggresive shift map (holds gears longer). Manual mode only works in 2 and 3, where it holds it in 2nd or 3rd (but will start in 2nd). if you go to endwrench.com, there are articles about the auto transmission and how it works. I put it in neutral sometimes when I'm stopped. You can do it if you want but don't have to.
