look out here i come http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=14299&cat=500&ppuser=18606

there really isn't anything to clean on them. exhaust temps near the O2 sensor are hot enough the reason they go bad is from age or defects. cleaneing it doesn't actually do anything.

the only thing i know is that the red ones are late 91 and up, gray ones are 90 to late 91, both are for automatics. i'm not sure if they will work with the other ones MAF

i missed the fill tube at first, but i did notice the a/c and p/s were Wrong

i found out that Rallitek no longer sells this light bar for the legacy and was wondering if anyone has any idea where i can get one like it..... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=14023&cat=500&ppuser=18606

i have rallyX'd my 86 GL wagon a couple times and had a blast. the last one was at subiefest '06. like the pics and vid of the action:banana:

OMFG!!!!!!! :mad: will you guys either do the friggin mod and leave it alone and BE IN FEAR OF RIPPIN' up your trannyand leave the 5%duty crap to the engineers at SUBARU. you guys are getting way deeper then you need to. obviously, the switch cannot be left on at anything more than say20 mph or your already weak (from the factory) 4EAT transmission is going to EXPLODE IN YOUR FACE. i just don't get it, those of you that don't want to do the mod to your car, FGS don't do it. those of you that have done it and have not had any problems, apparently know not to leave it on. thank you for all of the wonderful input, but it is done to my car and the only time i have used it so far is to do DONUTS in a vacant snow covered parking lot. i will also prob use it to do some rallyXing. PEACE:cool:

i realize that you are dealing with a different engine and such but when i put the 2.2 out of my swap car into my 92 legacy, i had a small leak in one of the heater hoses ( bear with me for a second) hence i had coolant lacking in the heater core. i also have had air stuck in the heater core because the hoses were backwards on the engine side. hence, with the air bubble in the core it was overheating. i have learned that these cars take a REALLY LONG time to burp all the air out. i have one of the radiator fill adapters and it took me about 30 minutes to burp the legacy. just my .02

i have installed lights on several vehicles in the past, are you looking to install them with factory wiring or wire them seperately?

the EJ 5mt is about 55mm longer than than the EA82 tranny, then if you add the depth of the adapter plate it is another 1/2 inch

what year legacy and how much for the KYB's?

YEAH!!!!! Really BIG pieces:lol:

well then you kids just play nice or no candy before bed:lol:

well gang, i was not trying to turn this into a ''FIGHT". i was just simply asking if it in fact controlled the power side of the circuit. i appreciate all of the input for the yeah's and neah's but as a mechanically minded person i was just asking a simple Q. i understand that if Subaru wanted me to have A FULL-TIME AWD AUTO TRANS they would not have made it with a duty cycle solenoid. the main reason for this mod to my car is so that if i decide to lift it and possibly go do so MILD off-roading, i will have a 50/50 split to work with instead of wheel slip. again thank you for your inputs and i will now be unsubscribing from this thread as i do not want to be part of the "FIGHT". Dave

so i just read the write-up on what wires to fool around with to do this modification. however, i was curious as to if the TCU supplies power to this solenoid and the switch is supposed to interupt it or if the switch is supposed to let it have power. i ask this because it was stated "NOT TO START CAR WITH SWITCH ON, or the a/t trans temp light will flash at you a lot" i would like to do this to my "new to me" 92 wagon. thanks, Dave

while you're at it why don't you just do some aluminum control arms?:-\ might be easier then cut and weld. just my .02:)

when we say "wiring harness prep" we mean that if you give one of us a COMPLETE EJ wiring harness we will remove all unneccessary parts of it so that essentially, your EJ motor with battery, ignition, fuel and crank power will run on the ground:slobber: . all that would be required of you is to install it in your EA81/EA82 car and plug in those four (4) things and if installed properly, your car should run.

not neccessaily competition.....just a new co-worker i'd say:) , would suck to be the only one doin' it. i was contemplating the same thing:-\

i agree.

looks good....did it take so long because you cleaned um up and repaintd them?

SO.....When are you getting the STI?

first....glad you're OK. second....BRAKE PEDAL AND ICE DON'T MIX, same concept as alchohol and driving. DUH!!!!!

the 4 relays that were on the driver's side in the junction block are for the A/C compressor and fans..... if this is for a swap and you don't have A/C then you will not need them

TAKE LEGAL ACTION!!!!!!!!!!!just my .02

i still prefer the addition of fog and driving lights versus the rewiring of the factory headlamps. but nice job dave
