Rear Swaybar Diameter?
vic/se replied to blitz's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAny idea what stock bar in the 15-17mm size range would swap onto to my car? It's not a cost-savings issue, but rather a specific handling goal. 2003 legacy wagon or the L se comes with a 17mm rear bar

vic/se replied to Missdev's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX[the RPMs rev way up, but the car just doesn't go. I believe one of your problems is clutch related....so you should start from there

Struts struts struts
vic/se replied to Subaru X's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXReplacing the shocks won't change in any way the height of your car.....if you really want to know they're toast, make a visual inspection, if they leak, replace them.... 2 go on each corner of your car and try to bounce it, and if it bounces, again they need replacement.

vic/se replied to novadog's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou should go as far as possible on the clutch pedal, and when you realese it ther's a stopper so I d'ont understand the " pedal travel increases significantly".

the Paris auto show
The first was a 3.0-litre ’flat six’ performance version of the Legacy, the 3.0 R spec B. Lucky European buyers are to get this 245bhp car before anyone else in the world - and are promised a sporty driving experience. The six-speed manual gearbox is derived from the Impreza WRX STi, there’s Bilstein suspension plus18-inch wheels, so all the ingredients are promising. hope to get it on this side of the ocean

Subes MT sensitive throttle?
vic/se replied to daja's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI bieleve it is the disc clutch, all disc clutches have springs around and material sandwiched in the disc to absorb different trotlle inputs.....so probably subaru discs are more like a competition type disc ( less springs and stiffer material)

On/Off Throttle Transition
vic/se replied to Rik's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI believe the is more related to pressure plate and disc design, subaru wn,t admit it since it does it on many others like on mine ( a 2003 wagon m/t) so you have to adopte a diffrent driving method
