92 legacy w/ outback struts and 17" wheels
konrad/soo replied to konrad/soo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXyeah, but rally cars and GT2, GT3 they use magnesium rims, and they weight as much as air. anyway my point is to fit bigger brakes, cause belive it or not my wagon is towing trailers with bikes all over east coast, and i need more stopping power with 2000lbs extra:)

92 legacy w/ outback struts and 17" wheels
konrad/soo replied to konrad/soo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXif my tires were lets say 215/45 or 225/45 they would fit on original struts, but the 235's are to wide. and if i would to lower the suspension they will be rubbing on the outside cause they are flush with the car, the front ones are even stickin out a bit.

konrad/soo replied to konrad/soo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXthin tire is safer then regular tire (high profile),more steady on curves, and when it blows up its easier to handle the car, you can go faster on those preforance tires ( speed raiting H= 210km/h), big rims look nice, they get more air to cool off the brakes, and rally cars do have wheels like that- on street sections

Engine swap at 91loyal workshop- PICS
as written, me and 91loyale swaped EJ22 from a 1992 legacy w/blown sparkplug, someone didnt titen the plugs so one of them went up in air, w/ the tread, and that was the good engine:cool: my engine was burning a quart per 200 miles, and after me driving it for 17k it blew a cilinder ,make a long story short, we've pulled out the engine from my car, then we've pulled out the engine from the donor(the car was sitting for 2 years on a pig farm) broke a lots of bolts, stud in head, which we've drilled out after 2 hours.Donor was an AT so we've changed the fly wheel and clutch, water pump, fixed the missing tread with heli-coil kit, and instaled the engine in my wagon.Only thing that went wrong was the timeing, of by 6 teeth, our fault, but its okey now . Engine started a little rough, but after a quick spin (6000rpm) it went back to normal. so far its running great, and i'd want to thank 91loyale for his help and his effort that he've put in to this project:clap: this is what we use EA82 block for this is the best engine lift ever:grin: fun part

so you made it!? i think 91 loyal saw your car, but you were going out of east bruke, our cars were parked in the parking lot at center of the town, so you couldnt see them from the road, after he parked his loyal on the gas station, it was too late:-\ my legacy took us up the toll road in 3rd, but after the first 180 turn ive put it in 2nd, and almost at the top back to 3rd:brow: and the view is nice, and comming back down no smell of brakes,hehe,but in 2nd. we did around 100 miles on the dirt roads all around the place, so that was fun, and some moutain biking. maby next year ther will be more of us:rolleyes: take care

- loose CV joints??
konrad/soo replied to konrad/soo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXthanks, thats what ill do, drive it till the end:)- inner tie rod,
same 92 legacy, how can i tell if the inner tie rod is shot? let side is very hard to move/twist(by hand), the right side is twisting almost with no presure. so wich one should i change?? take care- loose CV joints??
just checked my front end on 92 legacy, every pud hole i hit thers a knock sound, i even got a ball joint, thats what i sounded, but every thing is tight. the only thing thats moving is the CV's, from the tranny side, the pins are in place, but its moving, more like up&down. could this be the the reason?? and if it is, how can i get rid of it? take care- Northern New England/NY,etc. Meet???

konrad/soo replied to q240z's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXall of your stories remindes me of my car, 92 legacy. my uncke bought this car for 450$, the guy said"the fuel is leaking", so i come back to the states, take a look at the car, POS, the fuel lines were rusted out, called few shops,"300%$ for the parts, 500$ for the job",hehe, i've spend 15$ at my local NAPA, 1 hour of labour, just one hour,... the car was standing for 1.5 year, and i got it running in 2 days,i've put on it like 2000 miles just in one month, backyard mechanicks, keep the good work, take care- OBD I/ check engine
