EVOthis replied to EVOthis's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI really hope so man...I think its going to be a great race...I just go finished repairing a boost leak today...back up to 26 PSI... As for the starter button...I actually made a little brace and bracket it fits right overhead to the right of the driver....I have always loved the "race" cars that have there little control box mounted overhead of the driver to control engine start, fuel pumps etc...So for $15 (self installed) I just had to pop one in....

and then she turns 200K on me ...
EVOthis replied to njdrsubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXwell either there sarcastically talking about playing in the mud/clay...or claybarring from what i understand is....if you have a real gritty feeling to your paint...you claybar the car and it feels nice and smooth so im assuming your removing impurities and whatnot..i think they call it claybarring because they actually use a bar of clay....at least this is how i understand it....

EVOthis replied to EVOthis's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe cage I actually got from AutoPower...Its a bolt-in 6 pt...Its for the 1/4....I doubt ill be running an 11.49 though...lol The previous owner of the car acutally made the catch can...it is a recirc which is kind of nice so i dont have to worry about it getting full...Its nice to not see any oil in the IC or anything.... Im hoping I run an 11.??...Apparently from the latest dyno number his engine makes like 540 and mine makes like 510...he just doesnt really respect 4 cyl "tuners" hes an old school chevy 350 and BB guy you know the "american V8"...lol...However with a good launch on my car Ill prob strip the teeth right off of first gear..lol (stock 5 spd).. How are you making out with your REX?

Hey Fellas...Been working on my WRX alot lately...So just though I would share the progress..I just recently installed the rollcage, push button ignition and some different parts of the IC piping...Currently im working on fabbing up a decent size piece of aluminum so i can make the rear seat area look tidier...Sometime in the not so distant future I will be racing a Supercharged 383 Stroker (540 HP) (4500 lb car) (my Dad)...Do you think I stand a chance.....Seriously.....Any Ideas? Constructive Criticism? etc... Here Are some recent pics....

Ignition relay location?
EVOthis replied to pearson801's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXignition realy???...Do you mean the main relay?...either way It should be located above the fuse panel inside the car on the drivers side to the left of the steering column...at least thats where they are in a 91 Legacy, and in my 96 Legacy thats where they put the main relay, FP relay, and sub fan relay #2 ( on models with A/C)...

quick help 97 OBW 2.5 186k tick - what oil?
EVOthis replied to davebugs's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIn 97 I believe Subaru went to mechanical lash adjusters...Have the valves ever been adjusted or checked?....Personally I have a 96 with hydraulic lash adjusters.. I dumped in about half a bottle of seafoam (in the oil) and I havent had the ticking noise come back yet (its been months)...Sometimes small debris gets caught in the oil passages in the rocker shaft and blocks flow to the lash adjusters or a lifter just looses its prime from age...either way...I dont believe this is your case....Any maintaince history on the vehicle?

EVOthis replied to bigu's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMan Exactly what i first though...that is a Camry...I think Subaru still has a good grasp on things now...of course anything could happen...look at GM, Ford, and Chrysler...lol

Just got a '96 Legacy Wagon!
EVOthis replied to Alphius's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXman that thing is tucked...it looks lower than mine.. I dont know how dark your tint is but When i got my 96..I couldnt see anything out my front side windows at night...so i ended up pulling the tint off of the front two windows...anyways sorry to ramble on...NICE looking wagon dude...You could always drop an EZ30 in it and Turbo it like Jeff Perrin did to his STI..

Anyone used this before?
EVOthis replied to vincentmoy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXPersonally I wouldnt be spending $29 on one...as long as you get enough leverage a 1/2" Breaker Bar works perfectly...

My 97 Outback brakes suck
EVOthis replied to skibumm's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXbefore you go spending money on a power booster...sometimes the line to the power booster from the intake manifold gets condensation in it and freezes...Im not to sure what part of west virginia your in but was it cold when you left the car? Is the pedal hard the first time you push on it after the car has been sitting for a while? Do this check....Get in the car, put your foot on the brake, start the car, does the brake pedal sink to the floor when you start the vehicle?

05 legacy Turbo question
EVOthis replied to mossy33oak's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIve heard some of the 05 Legacy GT's have had some ECU problems relating to the cooling fans ( apparently your supposed to go through a check list of items to check/replace before condemning the ECM..but it is to my understanding that something gets damaged in the ECM and allows the cooling fans to continuously run or not run at all) ...Other than that The Legacy is a very good car..I have my 96 with over 200k on it..and it runs very well...I would find out things such as who where the previous owners of the car...any maintenance records available?... check out here... http://www.cars101.com/ for some info...

Axle question.
EVOthis replied to x_25's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI have found there are two pretty easy ways to replace these axles...1 being drop the control arm from the body 2 19mm and from the mount 1 17mm...or undo the castle nut from the ball joint (19mm)and undo 1 of the 14mm's from the sway bar and knock the control arm loose w/ a hammer...personally i like this way...as for the those little bends... personally I wouldnt really worry about it...You could try and knock them back a little with a hammer or something...I have never replaced one of these axles by disconnecting the strut...

1994 RS Legacy BD5 engine problems
EVOthis replied to clonak's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI know there are possibly some threads on here that detail the definitions of the flashing CEL codes..so i would try a search for those either on here or on google or something..as for oil coming out of your BOV..I would install a catch can to catch that excess blow-by....

low compresion on #3 cyl.
EVOthis replied to tommyv's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou could also try a leak down test...but i guess with such low compression it wouldnt really tell you anything...

low compresion on #3 cyl.
EVOthis replied to tommyv's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI have heard of this.....for the price of the FPR...its prob worth replacing....because otherwise....my bet is it is something internal...

low compresion on #3 cyl.
EVOthis replied to tommyv's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXdid you squirt a little oil in the cylinder and than recheck compression? (wet compression test)..If compression increases chances are you have bad rings...otherwise from the info youve given I will say maybe you dropped a valve....How many miles are on the car? Have the HG's ever been replaced?

Whiteline sway bar links on 2003 Impreza
EVOthis replied to Chip's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXor you could try http://www.clubwrx.net .... I find it extremely hard to believe that the difference between rear drum/disc brakes determines if a Sway bar link will fit or not??..However I could be wrong...the brackets for the links should be in the same spot wheather disc or drum brake...at least on all the Subaru's Ive seen....
