2008 Subaru design
86BRATMAN replied to RAugur33's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAMEN!!!! I hated the bugeys's for a while, but I can't say that I don't like them now... Hell, in late 1989, when I was 6, I saw my first legacy and was like what is this. Give it a year or so for the new look to settle, and to experiance this new suspension design the Impreza line has gotten. People will be all over it then.

OEM O2 sensor for 94 Legacy was Bosch!?!?
86BRATMAN replied to porcupine73's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI've used the "universal" wire in bosch o2's before with no problem at all. Used for about 10k miles before I sold the car earlier this year, not subaru but ya know...

New Thread, 4wd doesn't work 86 GL
Get a friend to move the 4wd selector, and you look under the hood, on the transmission. There is a lever that should be seen with the spare tire out. It is the 4Lo lever, if it moves with your buddy shifting the selector, check under the car at the point where the selector level goes into the tranny itself, this is the 4Hi lever. If both move like they should your problem is internal.

Here's a weird wiring issue
Well, to add more frustration to the stupidity... I plugged the wiring back up for the reverse switch and 4wd indicator that I unplugged earlier. And now its not blowing the damned fuse....

Here's a weird wiring issue
No, the rear bumper is still std model, there isn't any real difference so I left it alone. I'm feeling like its more coincidence than conversion related myself. It didn't do it imediatly, just started out of nowhere yesterday afternoon. Untill I get my hands on a multi-meter and start chasing wire gremlins I've just unplugged the conector on the trans for the 4wd and reverse lights. Drove it around for an hour or so today, using reverse quite a few times with no problems.

Here's a weird wiring issue
Well I thought that at first as well. But all I did was clip the plugs from the old side marker and turn signal and crimp them to the ones that go to the bumper mounted signal and new side marker. I haven't wired up the new high beams yet. I'm waiting on a trip to the junk yard to get a GL hatch wiring harness to pair up with my Brat dash.

Here's a weird wiring issue
Ok, I just did the 4 square headlight conversion and gl bumper to my 87 std hatch. Now whenever I put the car into reverse it blow the ignition coil fuse. Any Ideas?

Loyale to GL rear drum, axle and more compatible?
They should be identical, or at least should be pretty close by design. I don't see why it wouldn't work out with minor modifications

say hello to other subaru drivers
86BRATMAN replied to neil mc's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHey, where in Ireland do you live. My mom is originally from Clouna. She was just over there about two weeks ago and said she didn't see any subaru's at all. It is good to see that there realy are some around.

Speedo PFFFT!
I've had this happen to me before. In my case the speedo cable was just worn out and had broken in two. If this is the case with yours, all I can say is that it is possible to change without taking out the guage cluster, but you'll need limber hands. Good Luck

How to identify Brat LSD
From what I've read, the general consenus for the 91 model year is yes. 92-94 not even an option.

Ummm. My auto 91 T-leg has a vlsd. So this is also incorrect.

No lowering springs to be found for a 98 GT wagon!
86BRATMAN replied to Gene J's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou could go with a coilover setup. Most of the ones for Subaru's are universal, but its probably not the best way to go. And I wouldn't heat the springs, it will effecively make them loose their spring rates, thus riding like crap

New Axle install question
Or if you are meaning for the spring pin at the tranny side you'll need a straight punch. I can't remember the size off hand, but it IS NOT 1/4 inch, that will get stuck real quick.

Drive shaft length?
Excelent. I was about to ask this same question. I may be picking up an 84 t-wagon in a week or so

My 1991 Legacy Turbo Sport Sedan

86BRATMAN replied to Livestrong14's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXExcelent.. Any interior shots? I wanna see what you've blacked out. And what did the car run, I'm sure it was pretty good considering the mod list.
