  1. sorry to piss all over your cotton candy, but as of '08 all legacy's are sedans and all outbacks are wagons.
  2. are the turbo diesel engines everyone has been raving over going to be under the hood of an impreza that looks like that?
  3. i better keep an eye out for you http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=68353
  4. I have spent a great deal of my morning looking for posts and pictures of wheels that may fit onto my legacy. i am looking to put an ob lift onto it this summer and larger rims are in order. my 99 leg is 5 lug and currently has 15" 5 spoke alloys on it. the only wheel options that i can think of as being feasable are the 16" alloys from a legacy GT of the same year and the 16" alloys off of an impreza. i know that the 04 sti had 17" rims but i am unsure as to if they will work for this applicaiton. im not considering OB rims because they are butt ugly. what has worked for you people out there in usmb land?
  5. 99 leg ej22 phase II....bone stock with lead foot 25 town consistantly with an anomalous 39 highway running 93 shell. typical hwy 33-36 at 70 mph.
  6. well i did it again. 35 mpg from flagstaff to cortez going 90 mph flat whipping passes at 5k in 4th gear doing 80 mph uphill. all with premium fuel.
  7. how 'bout you forester owners with a digital camera and a high rise center console post a pic?
  8. My county in AZ doesn't require emissions testing. The federal government doesn't exactly send drones throughout the desert checking the emmisions equipment on peoples car. And on another note carbon emissions are carbon emissions. In the form of Carbon Monoxide or Carbond Dioxide your car will emit the same weight of carbon in either form. Carbon Monoxide happens to be very toxic and cat converters chemically "change" it into carbon dioxide. Both are greenhouse gasses.
  9. Hello all, Did any 95-99 body style subaru come with a high rise center console? I dont like the height of the center console in my 99 legacy. Does anyone know if you can, or better yet has anyone ever, swapped out a center console from say a forester and put it into a legacy? thanks!
  10. I'd like to know why you would think that running 91 oct is pointless....especially when i am getting mileage like this.
  11. Just filled up with 11.59 gallons of 91 Octane Shell V Power at $2.49 a gallon. My trip clock said 305 miles (all city driving). So 305 / 11.59 = 26.315789 miles per gallon. I think that is pretty good for 'round town driving.
  12. my catless weberized 85 GL D/R consistently got 30 mpg with mixed driving while it had high test in it.
  13. The driving was for the most part all in the mountains save the basin and range travel accross four corners. The wind wasnt really blowing on the way east like it was on our way back west though.
  14. Step one at fill up reset trip clock Step two drive until satisfied Step three at next fill up record amount of fuel pumped into tank Step four divide number miles on trip clock by number of gallons pumped into tank. I did in fact graduate high school.
  15. ill be sure to post my new calculated MPG average for around town driving as that is all this tank has seen. its still running on 91 octane, and btw i have a 5MT.
  16. All gas dispensers are tested once a year for accuracy by standard weights and measures. If you are a beliver or not it really doesn't offend me. Oh and for what it is worth all of the driving took place at an elevation of 5000' or greater. My highest elevation for the trip was probably in Kayenta or maybe Flagstaff both are above 7000'. Be jealous....all of my other buddies who drove their '00 or newer OB wagons out to the cabin sure were.
  17. Sort of.....the route I traveled was East on 69 North on I 17 and North on US HWY 89 and then East again on 160 through the four corners and durango to pagosa springs, CO
  18. Hi all, I've recently been running Shell Techron 91 octane in my 99 Lego...which has a Phase II 2.2 litre motor with around 142 horsepower running totally stock. I initially made the switch due to the nasty smells that would eminate from my exaust when I rolled up to stop lights, was just sitting at idle, or under quick acceleration. I did this because I recalled when my mothers Audi 100 would make the same odor but stopped when we started to put premium fuel into the tank. Premium definately eliminated the smells entirely from my lego as well but it also put a bit more bang into the block....especially off the line. But what I was most suprised about was when I went to fill the tank while on a road trip to Colorado for thanksgiving. I was driving with a full load of ski, camping, and hiking gear as well as a 30 lb turkey, a ton of beer, and a passenger. We had traveled 275 miles on exactly 7 gallons of 91 octane. That works out to be a little over 39 miles per gallon. We were traveling between 75 mph and 95 mph the entire time with minimal shifts. Has anyone else experienced mileage like this before with their 2.2? If so please share.
  19. You may want to head over to the dealer and see if you qualify for this: 08/26/2006 Subaru of America Manufacturer recall/service bulletin issued Recall #WWG901 Air flow meter sensor service program Click here or call 1-800-Subaru3 to locate an authorized Subaru dealership near you to obtain more information about this recall. My CEL came on while my car was under warranty, it currently has 55k on it, and everything involving the breathing/exhaust in the the car has worked beautifully since.
