97 Legacy AT Oil Temp light flashes on start, no stored code?, wheels slipping at sharp turns
86BRATMAN replied to dslysenko's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf you need any help I'm down the road about an hour and a half in Tazewell County VA, I have experience with these cars and quite a few spare parts laying around. But definitely classic duty c failure.

oil cooler on a 2.5. can I keep it with a manual trans?
86BRATMAN replied to avg_joe's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe water pump isn't different for the na oil cooler equipped cars. It's the thermostat housing/neck that has the extra port on it. I would recommend changing out the o-ring between the cooler and the block as well as the coolant hoses while you've got pretty easy access to them.

1985 brat locked step box drivers side whats in there?
If you want to add another step I have a couple I'd be willing to part with.

Does anyone know what these hoses are connected to?
The 98 should be rear canister, the transition year for the evap systems was 97. I would agree with Fairtax that the engine, or possibly just the intake manifold (very unlikely but still possible) has been changed.

Hey guys! 2nd time subby owner (jdm and now usdm) I'm having some electrical issues with this subbie. Hopefully someone can shed some light.
86BRATMAN replied to FrostKnight's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX5. 98-02 forester springs are softer than outback, the rear struts are also shorter than 96-99 outback. I have posted pictures in a few different threads illustrating this. 03-08 forester is the suspension you want for a firmer ride.

DIY Aftermarket Muffler- No welding; is it possible?
86BRATMAN replied to pginter96's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI ended up scouring through a bin of random gaskets at a locally owned parts store and found one that worked for me, knock on wood but it's been holding well for about 4 months and roughly 2k miles. I'll give the oem gasket a shot when we get headers for my wife's new 99 GT after I get the motor pieced back together lol.

1st Gen Brat in Forza Horizon 2
Is this only available on FH2 on the xbox one, or is it on the 360 version too? That'd be enough for me to buy my first new game in a couple years if it's on 360. Nevermind, actually read the link

Can the VA diff and T-style diff interchange?
86BRATMAN replied to mell0094's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThey can be swapped, but you must change the axles to match.

legacy 2.2 axles
86BRATMAN replied to angerthis's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXRear axles are the same for either side, and they will come with new circlips. Any subaru 95 or newer will not have roll pins on the rear, that was only 94 and older stuff.

Can you use 14 inch wheels to replace set of 17 inch wheels?
86BRATMAN replied to roadsubiedog's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNot on an 06 GT, the smallest wheel that clears is a 17". Their brakes are quite big.

EJ22 Head Gasket Replacement - Step by Step Assistance
86BRATMAN replied to ztrain727's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXTake a peek at the thermostat before you dive into a job you might not need to do. Subarus are very picky about thermostats, if an oem subaru thermostat isn't in your motor you need to get one pronto and properly refill and burp the coolant system.

86BRATMAN replied to legacy603's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe light pattern can be converted to lhd spec, there is a thread on legacygt.com that covers that aspect of the projectors.

Sold a parts car with possibly bad engine - need opinions
86BRATMAN replied to etc's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDepending on what the person needs from the car I'm sure there is more than $600 dollars worth of parts there. Seats and doors alone at junkyard prices around me would be close to $400, plus other parts like lights and suspension parts. Rule of thumb I've always stuck with on parts/parts cars is to assume it's all junk unless proven otherwise.

Sold a parts car with possibly bad engine - need opinions
86BRATMAN replied to etc's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWas he informed that you had no way of knowing the condition of the engine before he handed you the money? If so then it's on him, I wouldn't have paid $600 for it personally with no way of knowing. I recently bought a running legacy parts car for about $325 after towing and all that fun stuff.

JDM parts where ad how
86BRATMAN replied to legacy603's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI'd recommend any single turbo engine over a twin. The twin turbo doesn't work in a left hand drive car.

95' Legacy mod to accept 97-99' ej25d ecm?
86BRATMAN replied to Bushwick's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI've had the same thing happen to me at the Charlotte NC PAP, tried to charge me 80 bucks for an intake manifold back over the summer.

86BRATMAN replied to Bushwick's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXRear as in the rear of the car, my 97 L and 99 GT are both back near the rear bumper of the car. My buddy's 97 GT is at the front like yours.

86BRATMAN replied to Bushwick's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNow that gloyale mentions the map difference, my buddy's 97 GT is the older style and my 97 L is the newer style, his also has the front charcoal canister and mine is rear. So the change would seem to be connected with the evap systems.

86BRATMAN replied to Bushwick's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe difference just a the evap system is whether the charcoal canister is at the front of the car or at the rear of the car.

95' Legacy mod to accept 97-99' ej25d ecm?
86BRATMAN replied to Bushwick's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXTo my knowledge there is very little, if any difference in the tuning for any of those years. All three years were rated for the same hp and torque figures so it would stand to reason they would be the same. There were differences in the evap systems for 95-97 and 98/99, but that's a non-issue as far as the ecu is concerned.
