Indeed, it was. I anticipated the day to be spent going back and forth with a piece of sandpaper as I had asked Josh(Legacy777) for advice about grit. I removed them so I could cover every possible angle. The kit is like 10 bucks and is worth every bit of it; all one needs is a good power drill. If headlights are removed, it's best to have a friend hold the headlights while going over them with the drill to keep them from moving all over the place. Glad you guys liked it. Kyle

You got it backwards. The dogs stay out, you just have to hook the leash back up.

A roof rack and you and "The Loyale" will have matching loyales.

Pull that alternator off there and take it to a good auto parts store and get you a good reman one. Two Do Not Do's: Depending on the model (SPFI or Carb) you should not do the pull negative terminal off battery to do the test as it can cause major ECM problems. And do not drive it for long distances with bad alternator, as you can wind up stranded; ask me how I know.

I feel to have a more personal relationship with the people on here. I can't stand going through all the posts on NASIOC and they have that ad system that highlights the words and drives me nuts. Also there is an endless plethora of Subaru knowledge. If it's been broke, someone has already been there and fixed it and can tell me what to do.

There is a good Subaru junkyard in Clinton. He would have one there. Good to see more members from TN on here.

Ericem, I seen a red Legacy exactly like yours last year at dollywood. I posted a thing in Meet-Greet thinking it was a board members but I had no luck.

Is that the same setup that monstaru did?

I used three pads per light and and I think that I might be able to get it a little clearer. I am finally getting the full effect of the Silverstars that I paid $40 for about 5 years ago. The only issue I had was the little tips on the headlights shredding the pads up. Oh well, it kept me from breaking my arms sanding them down.

Been wanting to clean these headlights up for a few years now and just finally got around to it. Autozone sells a kit that comes with an adapter bit that fits into your drill and comes with 6 abrasive pads with the rubbing agent built in. What one does is spray it with a mist of water and use the drill moving in an all-over fashion. I would usually post them directly here but I will simply link you to my photobucket because of the issue of the pictures being larger than some's screen. http://s155.photobucket.com/albums/s308/durania717/ Also there is a picture of my seized a/c pulley bearing, have a look at that.

If it is to let fresh air in through vacuum controls then what does the fresh air slide do? I too have always wondered this. ...Would also like to have one of those chrome gauge outline things.

That high of an idle could be a stuck throttle linkage or damaged throttle return spring. What kind of issues did you have getting the Sambar licensed?

Did you go out the t-top to await rescue?

I fail to see your reason for making a profile on here for nothing more than to continue an internet post war. Obviously, Mr. Hewitt came over here for a second opinion and has tried to provide us with some insight into the car troubles that he is having. And judging from your comment: "What you should do is invite any of those morons on the Subaru board who claim what you state to be true to this board and let them post that half-baked theory here." I don't believe you will be welcome here.

I have learned to shy away from the "diagnose all car problem boards no matter the make" and tend to stick to boards that are manufacturer specific. Just another internet jerk, nothing new.

Pretty sweet setup. Have you had a chance to run it at the strip yet?

I have two hypothesis: 1. You have alternator issues. When they would go bad on me in my hatchback, there would be a feedback sound corresponding to the engine RPM's through the speakers. 2. I recently fixed an issue with MAF troubles. It would idle fine then when I began normal driving it would buck and hesitate. Mine did throw a check engine code FYI.

I want to see some pics of this EJ20 XT.

I seen that on ebay the other day for sale and wondered who's that was. I bet that thing could really scoot with the EJ in there.

I predict you won't be taking her to 6500 RPM's anymore.

You can adjust the valves no problem in her now. Why did you put that switch right on top of the dual range emblem of all places?

The issue that I am having with my radio is the display not coming on. Before it would come on after about 5 minutes, and now that I have been driving it on a regular basis it doesn't come on at all. Is this a get a new radio situation? Also my speakers for the drivers side do not work, both front and rear. Could it be grounded against the door causing both not to work? Thanks, Kyle

Probably not. The tranny from a Legacy would not work in your Loyale without major modification. Even if it did, it would have been pointless without the EJ22 to go with it. You got a standard 3AT chief.

How often do you fly the plane to work?

I am waiting on buddy at the dealership to give me a call and I will be going to drive it as well. I don't see my dealer getting anything like a red or a blue, probably more like a white for silver but oh well. I too will post my thoughts about her as well.
