subeman90

^^^^^ correct! If you are looking to put a turbo tranny in a NA car you can with a little bit of part swapping. I did this on a 90 AWD wagon.....just make sure you change the diff: turbo=3.9 na=4.11 (unless you are talking about someting newer than it might be a 4.44 (assuming you are talking about 90-94 legacys) Matt

ummmm speedo trick? Explain how and what was done. I know someting isn't right but what? Matt

doesn't work for me....why? Help!!!! EDIT: WTF...I come back 5 min later and it works..... Cool vid! BTW: this is my 1000th post.... woooohooooo (Yeah i know so what...) Matt

Top notch work Eric. quick question: do they make a lot of noise on the road? Matt

if you did it the 2nd week of june you guys could throw me a b-day party.... J/K Matt

Sorry about that.....doing 3 things at once. How much is reg. for a "truck"? You never did say where you are at and what dealer you are working with... Very curious here... Matt

The hills of PA.... HA!!!!! don't worry about it. you would be surprised the amount of torque that the 5 speeds can put down and not have to be downshifted. When I went to montana in my 02 OB years ago I usually NEVER downshifted for their mountains (which make ours look like ant hills) and that was a NON turbo car...if it had been a turbo i'm sure it would have been all the better. Where in PA are you might I ask? Also, FYI in PA you must register the baja as a truck....so that means your reg. is going to be more money than the $36 for a car (I forget how much light trucks are). Somebody dug this topic up from the dead.....BTW, I didn't buy the TB (I couldn't get what I felt was a good deal on an 04 leftover) so I bought the 05 in my sig. Matt

Happy B-day buddy..... toast to you!!!! Matt

interested....keep me informed. Matt

One thing not mentioned is how old is the water pump. I lost my 2.2 years ago because I had a catastrophic failure while on the TPK going about 85 or so. It was over before i even knew what happened (took the HG with it too) SO...how is the WP? Matt

cool vid and some really great pics.... Nice air on the rear tire Brian in the video. Whoever has the blue gl wagon: Nice! not that I didn't like them all though. Matt

PMing you in a few min... (skip) Matt

allsubaru.com states it is PN SOA5165109 What I was stating before is most likely the filter on the car now is black but if the new one is white that is OK as long as you bought it for an H6 (6 cyl) car you won't have a problem. Matt

The reason you never heard of this Skip is because it DOES NOT EXIST. The know-it-all a few posts above is misinformed about suspensions and urban folklore... inspection code 175.80 sub part 8 paragraph (iii) states that the bumpers (main part of them) must be 16-20 inches above the road. It states nothing aobut ride height whatsoever peroid. As for mud flaps... 22.5 degrees measured from the road surface.. 175.78 section (i) If people want to start quoting PA inspection laws...get a book first and then get an inspection license... like I did. Why the heck are we talking about PA laws for a car that is on the otherside of the US.... Dude your car is low (and cool I might add) just don't bring it to PA...the cops won't get you but the potholes might eat you alive.... Matt

The origional filter on the car is always black and seems a little smaller than the one you will replace it with. I just did my first change on my new OBS and this was the case. BTW, do not tighten the new one as much as the origional one....your knuckles will thank you. As for part #'s go to ebay and do a search....there was a guy selling oem filters from a dealer down south...I believe he listed a PN with the auction. Matt

I'm no hardcore wheeler like you guys but I do have experience with those clevis pins. one word: CRAP. I USED to use those on my trailer at work (the good ones not the cheap junk for walmart etc) and they will blow apart if you look at them funny. Keep in mind this is on a TRAILER not a hardcore rig like you guys have...I like the bolt idea much better than that sh*&&y clevis pin. Hate to burst your bubble.... but I'd hate even more to see you stranded. Matt

There is no fuse spot for a manual trans. The fuse is to lock out AWD on automatic cars only... Matt

don't you mean a SODA can? Matt

WOW with clearance like that you could really show up the guys with the lift kits. I bet you wouldn't even hit on smooth gravel roads... I hope Zap and Qman see this....I wouldn't want you scaring them on the trail.... :lol: Seriously though...darn that low...if I ever make it out that way give me a ride... Matt

stick shift all the way. Just remember your car is a SUBARU not a chevy truck with a 454 and 411 gears.... basically take it easy and don't over do it.... I had a legacy stick AWD once that had over 200k on it and I used it to pull my VW beetle around and my friends fiat spyder. Slow and easy is the key here and always anticipate braking.... Matt

Fix the car!!!!! take what you can and get the damn thing fixed...it is so nice and rust free (for God sakes it is a turbo man...don't let it die such an early life) here in PA I could see $2995 on a lot. Matt

from my experience subarus are horrible in the winter for gas mileage and the automatics seem worse to me too. Matt

If you can get away with it go for it....I wouldn't fail you for it if I knew I could get away with it... I personally would just stick with the old "I didn't know officer...I just put it on and didn't know any better" Just because I have a PSI license doesn't mean I am a car nazi. As for the rest of the post....that is a lot of money for a lift kit. Did you talk to John (mudrat) and see if he can hook you up? Matt

its not streching the meaning of anything....there is a 4" rule and that is what it is. Matt

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In PA you can have a "body" lift. It cannot be anymore than 4". Also I know this because..... I have a PA state inspection license. Also aux. lights are not illegal and do not have to be covered up at all times UNLESS they are on a "roll bar" or a high mounted "light bar" As for Pa's underware being too tight....HA!!!! were beyond that....were well into a wedgie now..
