imprezaII

Oh Yes..

Was able to go today to the salvage yard . Found something from a 2007-08 Accent . Clock sits between the 4 Way flashers and rear window Defrost switches. The wiring instructions are marked on the back of the clock next to the plug , later tonight I will take the filler panel out from under the radio and see what I can design .

Was not able to make it to the salvage yard in time to have a good look , the s.y. is about an hour away . Will be going within the next couple weeks . I will find something that will look factory installed , at least thats what I am aiming for . zzz

My wife needs a clock in the car . Because of that, I am going to a salvage yard tomorrow, so I can find a clock from something and then fit it in somewhere. Will let you know what could work and how .

Well , we finally got to see the Legacy , it is a 2001 not 2002, looks great , checked for all the issues that people mentioned. All good . Here is what we found. Peeling clear coat. Maroon . Non issue for my buddy. Needs tires for winter. A/C doesn't work , but a/c light on dash does . Thats about it. Felt low mileage ,has 220,000 kms , my guess driven on the highway mostly.. So how do I check to see if the compressor will click on ? That's my big concern for this car at the moment . The auto trans worked good , no hesitation on going in R or D . thanks for the help

Put one in my 96 Impreza ,out of a 2002 WRX STI , looks just your unit, a true plug and play. It will fit like it was always there.

The heat sheilds were also loose on my Impreza . All you need is some good stainless steel hose clamps, from a parts store , then fasten them snug . Try to keep the gear tightening part up , so as not to snag road debris . Good luck P.S. stainless clamps last a long time , had one on my Ford Bronco II for 5 years....

Way to go , and yes , rad caps can cause many weird issues , It is nice to have some easy fixes.

AWESOME pics.

:popcorn:COOL

Thanks for the tips , will be looking at it this weekend .

The car is 4 cyl. It has 200,000 kms , supposed to be highway miles. Thanks for the tips on possible issues.

Looks good..Nice rims.

Hi Folks , My bubby is looking to buy a 2002 Legacy wagon , auto , AWD . Don't know the mileage . What should he be looking at as far as potential problems are concerned ? We know about the dreaded torque bind and the oil leaks . We are going to look at it this comming week . Is there anything special we should focus on ? Thanks.

96 impreza sw 2.2 auto AWD . Well folks this switch.. rear window defrost switch , does not look like it comes apart . The dealer said it was common , $36 for a new one . Live with out the light , or with the light..... Decisions Decisions.

When I pulled the door pad off , there was rust on the lock pivot and the locking locking mechanism rod was bent . Almost looks as if door was replaced. Cleaned it and greased it . Checked wiring with a meter , good connection too . Cleaned and greased all the rest of the doors and hatch. All the locks work 100% . thanks Josh , on the tip about the rod , saved me a lot of time on that

Will let you know what I find. Thanks.

This may or may not help , but 94 Dodge shadow 15 " alloys fit on my 96 Impreza and they sit outward from the hub about 1" more than the factory 15 rims. This may give you more space away from the bottom of the strut cone shape and also keep it from rubbing the inner fender areas.

Sorry Folks .my bad ... It is a 96 impreza wagon 2.2l a/c auto AWD

I hope Valvestem you are right , and they are just burnt out. Going to pull the dash apart and see if they are burnt . Any else have this trouble with these switches ?

96 Impreza 2.2l auto a/c awd wagon.. I have one power door lock . When you use the drivers door Key lock to Unlock , 4 including the hatch/tailgate move right away , but the one on the rt rear door has a 1-2 sec delay , then moves .This happens every time. At least of the time we noticed . Pulling the door panel off today. The only door power door lock is with the key on the drivers door , none inside . Any thoughts or ideas will help . Thanks:-\

I not sure but the H rating has to do with a speed rating . Someone else in this Forum could explain this better than me.

We run Michelin Harmony on our Acclaim but use Michelin Alpins in winter We run Goodyear Assurance on the Neon but Dunlap Graspic DS1 winters On the Impreza , the Eagles we were running had a broken belt so we switched to BFG Traction TA for summer and a winter Goodyear Winter ST2 snow /mud. I agree with fairtax4me about the TA's , but how much snow/mud do you have to deal with , and for how many months ?

Hi folks, I am not sure if the rear window defrost switch and hazard light switch are backlite , and supposed to light up with the rest of the dash lights ?:-\ If so what number light is it ? Thanks

Sweet ride . . I like that the car is a sleeper ,grin: Nice job
