Gauge swap
Same, but I used RGB LEDs so it can be whatever colour I want...

Gauge swap
I didn't have to remove the needles to change the colour of mine.

Gauge swap
What exactly do you mean? If you don't play with the mechanisms that control the movement of the gauges, or the mileage, it'll be fine. DON'T pull the needles off, it's a real big pain in the butt to get them to read correctly again.

I like the different shades of blue you have going on there.

98 LGT limited :D
987687 replied to 987687's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThanks. This is a really nice car, and I want to take care of it the way it deserves. Picked up a set of summer wheels, $50!!

98 LGT limited :D
987687 replied to 987687's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe seats are nice! no cracks or anything, and wicked comfortable. What do you suggest for conditioning the leather? Good call on the tensioner. It's a 97 2.2, so failing TB would be bad Thanks for the compliments!!

98 LGT limited :D
Just picked her up for $400! Poor thing got really dirty being towed home, but I've since given her a nice wash. Here she is! :cool: All it needs is an engine! The ej25 was overheated to the point of seizure TWICE! And still somehow starts up and runs. But is very blown. If I start it with the rad cap off, it blows exhaust out at a terrifying rate. But I have an ej22 sitting in my garage. Slap on a TB and WP and it should be good to go!!

Clutch cable snapped again
987687 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI just asked for a clutch cable at the parts dept, gave my VIN, and they produced it from the vault of parts.

987687 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI got one from the dealer, they had it in stock, and I get a 15% discount ... It was around $55. I don't care if I spent $10 more, it's gonna last.

Killer find!!!
In Maine, even cars that don't run, but have no rust are worth a few hundred. I just dropped 400 on a car with a pooched engine, but no rust at all.

987687 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXhahaha I found that out too

Clutch cable snapped again
987687 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThat's kind of ridiculous it sheered like that. You could put a bolt, or anything in there just to get you home. But I agree, running it like that permanently might not be so permanent. Clutch cable snapping does have it's distinct symptoms... haha. I was shifting into 1st gear to leave work parking lot. BANG, car jerked, engine stalled, clutch stuck to floor...

Clutch cable snapped again
987687 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNow that's interesting... You could probably put a bolt through there, if there's a enough clearance in the pedal box.

Killer find!!!
Tightening the clutch cable will fix the engagement problem. That's not really an issue.

Killer find!!!
Good for whoever ripped off the dealer

Clutch cable snapped again
987687 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe one I put in my legacy has been fine for over a year and around 20k miles. SOOOO Much smother than the old cable that was there. When I go out today I'll snap a pic of my routing while it's warming up.

987687 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNew from the dealer?? If so, it probably wasn't routed right... that breaks them

Clutch cable snapped again
987687 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMine snapped at the other end, where it goes to the threaded rod to the clutch fork. The cable isn't going to break, any place a cable is connected at the end is going to be a weak spot. The clutch cable is pretty easy to replace, just make sure you reroute the new one the same way, or you'll put excess stress on it, and it will only last a few thousand miles. I suggest routing the new cable alongside the old one before taking it out, that way you know it's in there right. That is, assuming your old one is routed correctly...

My first flip project...
987687 replied to 92_rugby_subie's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX95 will have dual port heads, but if it's from a legacy it'll be obd2. Doesn't mean you can't use it, just means you'll have to swap intake manifolds.

Dash lights
987687 replied to Arty's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAll the whit parts in the hvac control, so the little icons. The fan knob, the red/blue heat indicator. All the buttons on the dash by the wheel, rear defrost, cruise, fog lights, etc. Seat heater switches should light up. The hazard button should. That's all I can think off the top of my head...

987687 replied to 92_rugby_subie's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI'm never selling my GL. That's one car that I can never part with.

Good thing you haven't done what I just did... bought a car to flip, fell in love with it, and posted your DD up for sale. haha.

Bought another one today, and it has a lot of todos haha. 98 LGT, black, all options, auto. Needs an engine, and has torque bind. So other than needing the ej22 sitting in my garage and a 5speed swap the car is mint. No rust, no body damage. Shiny and beautiful.
