Nope never read it.

1994 Legacy Ti AWD wagon ( alpine sport) What I mean to ask is can I use the next generation 95-99 wagon suspension ? Or does it have to be 90-94 only ? Thanks

Yeah , check that float adjustment however Weber intends you do that. The issue with the leaky accelerator boots is the modern fuel causing them to melt , crack , and fail. I'm not sure if yours has a more modern material but I know from using old stock carb rebuild kits that even a fresh boot will fail way more quickly than you'd like it to. Just stuff to keep an eye on. keep it going ! Cheers!

Float bowl look ok thru the sight glass ? Accelerator pump boot leaky ?

Outstanding ! Thanks very much. I ended up cutting the corroded connectors off and spliced the wires. Then I taped it all tight , then duct taped it over all. The leaky sunroof has to be the culprit. Rear drivers side floor is soaked. Next up - seal up that pesky sunroof. Thanks again GD.

Car only has 97k on it but did sit in a garage much of its life and probably a long stretch before last fall going unused. Checked the fusible links and relays and fuses. My obvious engine harness grounds are all looking good and I will go over them again. Where should I look otherwise ? Have to double check but I'm pretty sure no switches are working at all. And yes I'm aware of the lock button. It's not just the master switch as I can see. Thanks for any help.

Ahh , thank you. I'm pretty sure I'm going to convert to springs sometime sooner than later. But I'm not opposed to trying to salvage this system for kicks. Only 97k on it. But given its age I'd expect there to be issues with it. It raises well , lowers ok but seemed like the drivers front was sticking higher. Right now it seems level where parked. It is on a slight slope - but all corners seem about equal from tire to wheel arch.

As I knew it these models were just a Ti with graphics. Any real stand out features ? We just purchased a nice 94 with 96k and I've only seen a couple in my state. Just curious if anyone else has one. Ours has the air suspension and it's actually still working well.

About your current ride and power plant , is that a GF or FE model? If it's an FE it's very efficient , thrifty , easy to maintain , and becoming collectible for someone continuing to use who prefers to keep the car more period correct.

I'm thinking the 79 was two headlight - unless you got the GL with quad lights.

Stuff like an AM/FM radio , although also an option , four spoke steering wheel , and I'll have to think but I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple other items. No difference in engine and gearing.

Oh no ! But I'm guessing you'll be swapping pumps and doing timing etc and taking it over the 400k mark. Yes? Just finally turned 300k in NYC this past weekend.

Have to adjust that cable way back now that you have the fresh , thicker guts in there. I also freaked out same as you and it was the end of a tiring day etc .... so I thought about it and came back the next day and adjusted that link way the F back and it then acted appropriately. Now that it's spring I need to fine tune my hill holder or elinate it. As mentioned - 1/4" or is it 1/8" ? You'll get it. Take your time.

Little at a time using blocks and wedges. Try not to crush fingers or take yourself out with a head shot. Sometimes that old scissor jack saves the day. Good luck. You're half way home. You'll be feeling good soon.

Just keeping you company being another FWD owner. I'm very curious now , best of luck. I'll see what I can from my end and get back.

If you're not aware , check the prices on factory replacement for California exhaust. You'll be converting or pulling off some magic when the time comes.

Yeah I also have a super low mile engine ready to go but I want to be crazy and cheap and see how long I can go on this engine. If you haven't seen it yet , check out that old post about highest mileage and see my post on "the professor". He had over 1.5 million miles on an old 1.8 OHV.

I'll check this weekend. Just can't really dig out stuff as much as just grab what's easily visible and offer it , right now. Hopefully I can organize some in the spring.

Yeah I figured they'd give sooner than later. My one regret about my last big effort was not doing the HG's. Just not enough time and money at that particular time. Anyways.... I'll pick up the HG's and associated pieces and have them ready.

Barely

Mine is approaching the magic 300K and I intend on hitting 400K plus. I've got the usual piston slap / extra funkiness upon starting. When warm it's not bad sounding. Just did the clutch , all seals , pumps , timing , etc. But I did not do headgaskets yet. I've owned the car since 119k and I'll pretty sure there were no HG's replaced before then. I run 87 octane most of the time. Change oil like it should be done and with a new filter every time. Post if you have gone deep with your 2.2 version one. My tranny is the now rare front wheel drive five speed. It's been sounding funky for years now but I think some of that was the clutch TOB holder springs/clips that a guy I let work on it didn't install correctly. Anyhow , the unit is obviously high miles now and was wondering who has rebuilt one or if they survive up over 400k. Thanks for sharing your Experiences !

Coming up on 300k probably in a couple weeks. 298,8xx I was going to post about going over 300k for info from those with such experience. Don't think I'm competing. This is a cool post too.

Unable to gather all this stuff up right now. Tail lights are wagon , not Brat. Hopefully I will get storage moving with the better weather setting in.

Early 1600 or widecase ?
