Are there any key factors to spotting a first gen turbo legacy looking through craigslist add pictures? do all the turbo sedans have the spoiler on the trunk? i have been searching and searching through craigslist but usually only a small amount of information is posted. It is far more common to have a bunch of pictures posted and then no information on milage, trans, trim, badging etc etc. Anytime the add has "1992 legacy ss turbo" seems to have a very high pricetag on it. Sorry for the basic question but im at a loss for exactly which models came with the "holy grail". Are they really that hard to find? Thank you for your time.

Im in the spokane area and just got her back from north dakota a little while ago. Im just limping along on my C.V. axles as is and I have exhaust leaks and idling issues but after I get things ship shape expect to hear from me again!

This is really weird. I checked the wire from the battery to the fusible link box and it was two pieces and taped so i put proper ends on a new wire and replaced the monkey junk. Now when the ignition is turned on the starter still kills the circuit. turned off and on again and the dash lights come on. when i turn the lights on the FREAKING rpm needle bounces around and the plastic light switch on the dash IS MAKING FREAKING NOISE!!!!!!! Gall darn it what the heck is going on I'm wondering if my head really is fubar or if maybe the imaginary gremlins are chomping through wires?

Hey guys thanks for the information. I got the power to come on again this morning and and compression started it to get it back to a garage. Weird thing is when I turn the headlights on while it is running they work. Ill start with the test light and give an update. thanks again for all your helpful comments

ahhhh. Well, its still stranded in a parking lot. Here is a run down: i lost the key and broke the column and ignition 20-30k miles ago....been starting her with a screw driver ever since. Night before the issue my wipers started actuating without input from the switch. I thought some electrical gremlins were just messing with me. after I parked it and walked back out, I turn the ignition switch to on, push in my start button, and the starter clicks once. I turn it off and then on and no electricity what so ever. No radio, no lights. 6 hours later: New used ignition switch in and I turn it to on and I hear the three little chimes telling me I have electric circuit again. Hit the starter button and all dash lights and electricity go out. I clean the ground(again) and mess with my connections. turn the key on and I have the chimes and A normal looking starting procedure: instead of pushing my ignition button, I flip on the lights-------------------All power dies. No dash lights head lights failed to come on and no radio and back to the same problem. What a weird issue to have. Usually, with this old of subaru, there is no new problem. Im stumped

Thank you for the help. I just got back from the parts yard with some fusible links and an ignition switch. Starting it with a scregie or knife or file etc etc may have damaged it so thats what I'm hoping it is. Will be back here hopefully driving my trusty sub Thanks again. t

Car left me stranded at school for the first time since i bought her 30k miles ago. I have been using a screw driver to start her as I lost the key about 8 months ago. I get in the seat after registration, turn the electric switch with my screw driver, and push my start button. I hear a click and then realize I have no power. No lights my radio won't turn on no electric what so ever. I have tightened and cleaned the terminals and I'm at a loss as to what may be the issue.

or brazing? Looks like the tube is brass. Thanks for everyones input. Love this forum.

I have blocked off the egr with a plate. Are you sure that pipe is not venting anything back into the manifold? If for no other reason than to clean up the messy look if its not necessary. Thank you for your reply.

Wanting to plug the erg pipe that runs from the passenger side head to the intake. Is it an NPT thread or metric or standard? All the bolts and plugs in my tool box didn't fit:mad:

I would like to send my thanks to GR86BRAT T
