Nothing wrong with that. If I were more mechanically motivated, I would do the same thing.

I like it. I looked at wagon in that same color and year but decided to pass on it since I didn't want to take another head gasket gamble.

Yup. H3 55W bulbs. I got the Hella opilux XY yellows in mine and love them dearly. Don't know how you removed it your fog assembly but if you lay on your back and look up at it you will see 2 10mm or 12mm bolts holding the bracket in there. Then it will pretty much fall out after that.

Don't be surprised if you get a check engine light after the header install. The o2 sensors tend to not like them too much. I believe the p0420 is a common one. I have saw some of the RS guys wrap the headers to cure that program.

Holy crap. That is very weird.

I think a first gen Legacy that has been taken care of would be your best bet on a good car.

Sorry to hear that man. This car "is" my dream car too. I never thought I would own it either, not at my age. It just seemed like the right time to jump on one. Heck, they aren't making any more of them this body style. I still need another EA81 in my driveway to stick next to this thing and my 95 "OutSack, War Wagon".

Your wagon auto? I don't think my 5 speed one has EGR.

Does the VIN plate on the door jam look crooked to anyone else?

What all was involved in the retrofit. I may snag the one off my grandmothers 91.

How about just taking it to a muffler shop instead of using the one size fits all stuff?

Sucks dude, that's the way these things work. No shame in passing on a rough vehicle.

This is the answer. /thread.

I can only imagine what those seats look like when you take the seat covers off. I love how the dealer sprayed tire cleaner on the spare. I hope you don't over pay on that thing.

I vote selling it too. Save up and buy a WRX when you return.

Yeah man. The thing everyone does around here is the wingless trunk swap. Honestly, I am not a fan of it and to see an STi actually running around with the correct trunk is a rare sight in itself.

Well, the update for the week. Friend and I have plans to meet a guy in Asheville on Sunday to trade to an STi trunk. Yes, the one with the huge wing. I know, I know. I will catch some flack for the huge wing. I have been in love with the huge scoop, huge wing look since I was 16. Previous owner sent me this picture, consider it a teaser.

Welcome! What do you mean by "showing its age"? At that kind of mileage, has the head gaskets went yet?

I agree. It's not like these cars are super rare. I can throw a rock and hit two of them any day of the week and this is Tennessee.

What I am willing to bet the bulb is: Radioshack part number is #7219 Micro Lamp. Comes in a package of 2. I first experienced the crappy bulb problem on my old 2.5RS when the fog light indicator bulb in the button kicked the bucket. This is a great DIY for anyone with an Impreza with a lot of habit holding true to the Legacy HVAC problem and shows excellent pictures of the bulbs and the leads that are on them. http://www.rs25.com/forums/f105/t127068-diy-hazard-defrost-light-repair.html

I vote paying Logic a visit. Dump that stupid EJ25, let him swap in a 2.2. Repair the drivetrain and drive it till it rusts out. Correct me if I am wrong. Didn't the 96 2.5 call for 93 octane?

Them catering to key demographics and niche marketing has really helped them in the last few years. The LOGO Channel ads. Marketing genius.

105,000 miles is the manufacturer standard.

I left them off of my Legacy. Got tired of fighting with those stupid things falling off and making it difficult getting the caliper back on around the pads.

I had to do this fix on my 95 OBW when I first bought it. Make sure and take your time with this install as it can be finicky getting it to slide apart so you can reach those bulbs inside the unit.
