i need some opinions about snow tires
Hocrest replied to seanski06's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXBoth sets (Legacy and Brat) had different names but the one guy told me they were made by Cooper. They both had this tread pattern, but I don't think either had the "Dean" name. On this page it says that they are made by cooper, so I guess I wasn't lied to :cool:

i need some opinions about snow tires
Hocrest replied to seanski06's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIn the area that we are in, I would recommend the cheap snow tires at your local tire shop. I've paid $40-50 depending on the size. And with the AWD they are as good as you'll need. I got two winters out of them on the Legacy, probably about 20-25,000 miles. They pulled me through the occasional deep stuff and when the highway was covered with snow and slush, they allowed me to fly up and down Rte 81 at near normal highway speeds.

Hi- Need Some Help for My Dad
Hocrest replied to 85-325e's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYeah, it will be the same codes. But now, rather than just the soob tech knowing them, we'll all know them If he can contact the dealer and they tell him what codes they pulled, that will work just as well...

Hi- Need Some Help for My Dad
Hocrest replied to 85-325e's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXA loose gas cap or misfire due to plugs/wires could do it. It would probably be best to have him take it to Autozone and have them read the codes. Then if you're unsure what to do report them back up here.

CT Cookout..Who wants one?
I stopped by a body shop on the way home this morning, they should be able to fix it for about $450 :lol: Seriously, that trim screw has been missing, you didn't break anything. Thanks for having us up there. John, glad you made it home safely. Paul, you need to learn to put Soob events on a higher level of importance than a family event. I mean come on, you see your family every day... How often do you get a chance to see US. Connie, so you got to "hear" the racer's new exhaust. What do you think??

leaking gas tank
Hocrest replied to seanski06's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI've "topped off" my Legacy every 300 miles for 205,000 of it's 245,000 miles and have never had a problem. I did recently have a problem that the bottom of the filler pipe rusted out though. Maybe pull the cover that is under the rear seat or in the trunk to see if you can find the source of the leak??

Yeah, we know... That's why we all speak slowly and use "little words" when you're around :-p

CT Cookout..Who wants one?
I stopped in Yonieville today to pick up 2 dozen ears of Bread and Butter .... YUMMM It looks sweet and juicy :slobber: The best part is that as I was driving away from the roadside stand, Bucky's twin pulled into the stand :D:D

These are the "Sunburst" rims from the USMB wheels page; These are the ?Saab? wheels on Jesse's Brat;

Saab wheels and sube == saabube?
"Saab" was stamped on them somewhere?? Or maybe I'm completely wrong?

Saab wheels and sube == saabube?
I know of a member that has Saab wheels on his Gen 1 Brat. I'm not sure what year Saab they are from, but they do have some years that fit. Here is a picture;

replacing an AWD 4EAT with a FWD one....
Hocrest replied to Numbchux's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWe had a FWD Imp transmission in our AWD SVX racer for a short time. The wiring was plug and play. At WOT it didn't shift right from 1st to 2nd, We would have to go off the gas as it shifted. But otherwise all was fine. At the rear, either he can leave the rear diff and axle's in place or remove them and source a couple of axle stubs off of a front wheel drive imp or leg.

Probably, we would be leaving the WB/Scranton area sometime around 11. Give me a call when you know what your plans are...

New Outback XT!!!
Hocrest replied to outbackfan's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe early Legacy turbos, as well as the EA82 based turbos, do need to be "cooled down" after hard driving.

De-powerizing the steering?
Can you tell me how many turns it is stop to stop on the manual rack?? Me and Ben are considering getting rid of the PS on the SVX Racer. The two options right now are; adding an XT6 pump or putting on a manual ea82 rack.

Anone Have Experience with the SVX
Hocrest replied to jasinwa's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI wasn't questioning the blocked lines causing overheating causing trans failures, I was wondering about your statement about the SVX having a diff that the Legacy doesn't.

Hocrest replied to jasinwa's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX:confused::confused: where did you hear this? also... They make some good products, but a number of members have had "issues" with Small Car, do some research before using them.

Anone Have Experience with the SVX
Hocrest replied to jasinwa's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAt times:cool: but the PO abused it... If I knew what I know now, I would have passed on the one that I got. Even thought the transmissions are a week spot it is unusual to go through them like I have. It has become commonplace to swap the stock 3.54 EAT with a 4.11/4.44 EAT's or 5/6 speeds. It is a great car, as finances allow, I will probably end up with an additional one. Do your homework, read the site and figure out if it is a ride you're willing to take.
