ok guys...i have the car now....tailgate handle is TOAST....it is so rusted it wont budge.....also the brakes pulsate BADLY when i get on the stop pedal.....warped front rotors me thinks....really scary probably takes 150 feet to stop from 45mph......my lightning goes from 60mph to zero in just over 90 feet.......i was gonna do hawk hps pads up front with some slotted rotors. a few questions..... where is the fuel filter and what size tool do i need for it? is there a reccomened maf adapter of some sort to bolt on a nice big open element filter to the intake? i have a raman alternator i will assume it should survive a while. is there a good H.I.D. conversion for this thing? maybe some prejectors from japan? these stock headlights are not the best...what are the stock bulbs? no two sites give the same info some say h4 some say 9007 ? Thanks guys

what is this subaru brand stopleak stuff? how much is it and how much do you use? i have a 1998 leg brighton and i noticed the coolant was dangerously low... the belts are about to fall off and it smell like burning oil every now and then.... the gf's mom didnt take good care of it....also she hasnt had the tranny flushed once in 130,000 miles thanks for the help

i just got a brighton with 170k on it.....leaks a bit of oil.....i know it got the cheapest service possible but it was fairly regular i think....anything i should do as far as a cheap overhaul...fluids belts hoses plugs wires ETC ETC ?? thanks

WD40.....ok thanks alot i feel like such a newbie im out of my usual ford truck forum element

cool thanks another little problem is the tailgate will not open via the handle you have to stick a screwdriver in the latch from inside the car to work it....any ideas?

Thanks, well i think ill buy valve cover gaskets and try to do it myself. ?'s which gaskets do i get ? early 98 or late i have no idea when this car was built...all i know is it has the 2.2 motor...and are there other things to replace on the covers when i do the main gaskets...ive seen plug hole seals and other thingys....if anyopne has part numbers that would be great...thankyou

Hi guys nice board you got here....I tried searching to see whats up with this 98 legacy wagon i got from my mom-in-law....it leaks a little oil...otherwise runs ok....dont know if its valve cover gaskets or head gaskets maybe a front crankseal?? also i see parts talking about BEFORE 5/98 and after 6/98, im a little confused.....i have the VIN handy if someone can decode it... i have seen a few posts talking about phase1 and 2 engines? i really dont want to dump a ton of cash into this car...it gets 350 miles to a tank of gas and i can leave my 14mpg lightning in the garage during winter and yucky days now. Thanks in advance for all the help Ian
