Front was changed with OEM. The car actually runs well, a little "off" but not anything super noticeable, just crappy mileage.

97 Leggy 2.2 auto tranny with 193,000 miles. I've been getting increasingly worse mileage the past 6 months (from 29ish overall to 20-22 MPG). The following have been addressed: New 02 sensor, fuel filter, air filter, oil change/w filter. So, WTF? Plugs (NGK) are recent, I checked them and re-gapped them, wires are kinda old, no idea on EGR, and PVC valves. Ideas, comments, funny embarrassing stories?

cool. look forward to seeing your work.

Good Start, bub! Question: On the EJ 4" lift. If I already have OB struts then would it be 2"blocks for the struts and then standard gig for the rest? I know, stupid ?, but I'm looking to get serious about a proper lift here in a couple months.

Saaweettt!!!

time frame on that one?

Excellent! I'm sure you'll post a link here when it's up and running. Good luck with it all.

Anti-seize compound. can't recommend it enough. and blaster, of course.

I second this, these guys have don some work for me and are top notch, reasonable, and damn good

awesome.

It'll also be over a lot quicker and save the FD from having to pry the hood open which isn't nearly as fun as it may seem. Now, the Jaws of Life on the other hand......... And a hell of a lot better light show! Former fire fighter

Cool. Question: are the lifts you build strut lifts only or do you make (or plan to make) body lifts? I've got OB struts already and am looking to put 2-3" under it with a body lift. Thanks!

looking good. I just put OB struts on my Legacy and the tires look tiny as well. Gotta love having more air under it!

I'll take photos and post how it goes here somewhere.

Thanks, man. I'll look into it. I figured there may be some customizing needed and have a buddy who gets wet when given an electrical challenge. Map lights soon!

2nd! Anti-seize=good!

Howdy all, I'm looking to put the fancy 2 lights by the rear view interior set up from an OB in my leggy and was wondering if the wiring was there or if I'll have to magic something up? Thanks ahead of time for any feedback!

SWEET:banana:

welcome from PDX. Nice ride! My 2nd and 3rd Soobs were Loyales and I loved 'em. Sold my 87 DL to my nephew for $100 with 279,000 miles. That one should keep embarrassing your daughter for years to come!

Indeed it does. Like half the state I'm lean at the moment, but will come to you when the time comes. Thanks!!!

I was gonna ask the same? Have a 97 Leggy L with OB struts and am lookin' for a 2" lift to finish the job.

Ahhhh, the sweet photos of success! Good job. Nice thing here in the PNW is no salt/very little rust despite the wetness of the west side. thankfully, mine's and east side/desert car. Second the sears wrench set, fwiw.

Put a 17cm box end wrench on that side and use the cheater bar set up on the other to back out the bolt. the wrench will bottom out and hold so you can spin he bolt out. Just did this myself 6 times this weekend.

I do the bar/pipe thing as well and if you can round up a 2 foot piece of 1.5 inch PVC pipe, that works as well. If it's super stuck it may not do it, bit I've loosened some seriously stuck stuff with the PVC cheater.
