LMMFAO. Seriously give this guy a Darwin right away. So wait, you were trying to talk him out of it and after failing to do so you jumped in his car anyways? You must have done a real convincing job.

wow the impreza was never meant to be a convertable, especially since it's a 4 door. Would be on hell of a project though lol.

well considering the speed limit on the interstate here is 85mph, everyone does 95-100 on I-10 so I hope it doesn't cut off at 90 or I'm not gonna be very happy = pretty pissed. It's a 7hr drive to california from my spot so I dont want to spend the whole drive pressing the gas pedal.

WTF were you thinking when you and your friend decided to do 85 and jump a car with street suspension? I'm really hoping this was a joke. You deserve a Darwin award.

Nice, I have pictures @ Davis mothan AFB for some Camaro/Trans Am gatherings in front of jets and BUFs 'Big Ugly F*&%s" except it like 50 cars lined up witht he jets behind us.

drill them out and re-thread them. only true fix.

Quoted for truth, 95 2.2 owner here as well.

I just bought a 95 subaru legacy wagon, manual tranny w/ 247k on the clock for the same price 500 bucks about 3 weeks ago and it's my new daily driver, runs f'ing PERFECT. Don't pass up on a car with a straight body for 500 bucks even if it doesnt run and ends up being not worth a rebuild thenpart it out on ebay and make twice as much money back. just some fruit for thought.

Didn't mean it in a bad way lol just I looked at the 'new legacy' and uncontrolably laughed my butt off. the new toyota line up looks hideous btw lol.

I ralfed when I saw those 2 spoilers lmao, it's either one or the bother but definatly not both. the lower one looks like it came off a vw. I'd stick with the upper one. Good luckw ithe the build, I'm doing the same ting as you pretty much but for my legacy wagon.

lmao there are some very gullable people on these boards. They are all chopped and poorly mind you.

If you want to sell some parts off of that, particularly the front bumper and hood you could make your money back some, let me know.

I currently have bosch +2 platnums in my car that I installed about a week ago and the car runs very smooth. I'm not the type of person that leans towards fancy smancy platnum plugs, especially +2's but they were free.99 Are NGK's the OEM type?

You know, I honestly think my plug wires are the origonals from 95 lol, they look old and gray with red plug boots, are these the OEM color plug wires? They are in perfect condition so I didn't think twice about thier overall performance conditon. I should remove mine and check the resistances on them.

Yea I imagine you can remove the plastic covers on the L front bumper and install your own aftermarket fogs but I preffer the outbacks nice big rally style foglights.

This is true. Aftermarket "oiled" filters are no bueno on MAF vehicles like ours, speed density cars work much better with aftermarket "oiled" filters because there is no risk of getting oil on the maf sensors wiring etc. I'd recommend just gutting your box and using a stock filter. edit: Didn't bother reading through the thread, great to hear ya fixed it.

95-99 front and rear bumpers are all interchangable as far as I know, newer I imagine wouldn't work because of the different bumper design to accomidate the new designed headlamps etc. I'm currently trying to get a front outback bumper for my 95 legacy L. the sedan and wagon bumpers are also interchangable if I'm not mistaken but don't quote me on it. Not sure what year your ride is but I hoped this helped.

Your best bet is to just replace it, I've had a few knock sensors go bad on some of the cars I own and they'll steal hp away from you by getting false readings.

Really good to know. I'll be replacing my motor with the 2.5lt motor once my 2.2 bites the dust so I need to start polishing up on my 2.5l knowledge.

So you're saying the 2.2 is much more reliable a motor than the 2.5? I've known about the 2.5's head gasket problems but didn't know the 2.5 was really that bad of a motor. Either way I'm glad I have my 2.2 heh.

yep 95 2.2 is non interferance, 2.5 is however.

I have a manual tranny and I no I did not, didn't know there was a relearn method for a manual car. I've had to do a relearn process on specific automatic cars but never a manual. What would the process be?

No, but the spitfire convertible was nice. Maybe it was cause it didn't have a hill holder on it lol

Alright well my subi wagon is pushing 250k miles and since I got it have been replacing every component and fluid under the hood. I am a mechanic so I have access to lifts, flush machines, air tools etc etc. Well at my work we have a fuel flush kit, works similar to seafoam but is made by wynns. Well yesterday I thought it would be wise to do a fuel flush kit, while cleaning the combustion chamber I noticed minimal to no smoke coming out of the exaust wich already meant a pretty healthy clean motor, after I finished I disconnected the battery for a good 6 hours while I worked on some electrical stuff. After reconnecting the battery and turning on the car the rpms went up but quickly dropped and did the symptoms of what looked like a vacumn leak because the rpms were bouncing up and down. once on the road the problem corrected itself and it idled fine. later when I drove it again it did the same symptom upon start up and fixed itself after a minute or 2 of driving. What I'm asking is would this be the norm after having the battery disconnected for so long? I remember having a similar issue when I disconnected the battery to install the clutch. No CEL codes in the memory and nothing being tripped, it's an OBDII system. cliff notes: I had the battery disconnected for a while, now when I start my car it has a bouncy idle like a vacumn leak but corrects itself after driving. what could cause that? Oh and don't CC flush your motor if it has 250k on the clock, the gunks holding it together P.S. So I don't have to make another thread I plan on puchasing a short shifter for the wagon I looked on ebay and they have a short shifter you install wich reduced travel by 40-60%. links here: Click here It's a good hundred bucks cheaper than the dealer short shifter but I wanted to see if anyone has experience with this shifter OR the dealer SS.
