Changing Mileage
(goldfish) replied to (goldfish)'s topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIt's not to bad.. Once you get the speedo out, the white holder gears pop up nicely. Still you have unprotected needles to be careful about. Thanks all.

Changing Mileage
(goldfish) replied to (goldfish)'s topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI guess, that's my last/only option. I am just wary of opening these. I broke 3 needles on my datsun's cluster by being careful.

Head Gasket replacement
I was under the general impression that the pressure plate had a lot to due with clutch chatter. Under that asummption, I would have the p-plate inspected/turned.

Changing Mileage
Before cracking into my cluster I just got from ebay and breaking all the needles (i'm good at that), Is there an easy way to change the odometer reading? It's for a '97 leg. It feels like cheating to make it read the 27K from then new cluster.

'97 leg. outback, switching from 4wd to 2wd
(goldfish) replied to roop's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXyou will get better gas milage. There is less drive train drag and loss if the power only has to go through one axl instead of two. The weight is very minimal.

tach compatability
i have a 97 brighton and was wondering if this tach would work. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=7963958766&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT it say 95-97, but it was my impression that they changed at 97, and i know the pictured speedometer reads higher than mine. Thanks

ej22 engine pulley problem
(goldfish) replied to Soobarooboo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXyou should be able to find someone that can weld either the crankshalf, or damper, regrind the keyway and locktite it together. A real shop would prol'by never do this thou.

"low fuel" indicator lamp inoperative....
(goldfish) replied to mwatt's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXFirst, liquid gas does not burn. It's the vapors above it that burn. So sparks in the fuel pump should be relativaly safe as it should be only liquid in the pump. Normally the fuel level gauges are measuring a resistance of the senders, so as the cars get older corrosion builds up in creasing resistance making the gages read lower.

Hood scoops on Outbacks
(goldfish) replied to Geoff4130's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIt may be kinda ricy, but i think they're cute. Will the ob hoods fit my '97 legacy brighton ?

(goldfish) replied to Phil Andrus's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI just got a 97 brighton, and was entertaining the idea of adding cc. Does anyone have a complete list or instructions? Thanks

AWD question
(goldfish) replied to Slegacy96's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThere does seem to be some confusion to the vlsds. It's easiest to think of them kinda like an auto tranny. It takes some power to get it to transfer power, like an auto tranny's stall. If the Vlsd is designed right you will not overpower it.

AWD question
(goldfish) replied to Slegacy96's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXReally, for both autos and manuals? That would be a sad way to disable an AWD system to save a few bucks.

Looking for advice.
I was looking at getting an early 90's legacy wagon for winter/daily driver. I had some thoughts, if I could get your opinions. For a small trailer, say 500-1000lbs, would an auto be better than a manual? I do perfer manuals, but a trailer in the future would be nice for camping. Second, on the net there is a '94 turbo,auto, w/155k on it. What are the chances of it being worth $2.5k and lasting anouther 50k miles and several years? In general what should I look for? I'm pretty good with cars, but never a subie. They sound like good all purpose winter mobiles. Thanks

Anybody care to elaborate on that? It sounds like a good winter/hauler. Just want to make sure it's in good shape Thanks
