Just saw this picture of the new to be Impreza. Anyone notice the hatchback, or the small euro call concept??i dont like it, anyone elses thoughts??

my 94 legacy l has an airbag... wasent it standard??

they do attach to the strut, but my thinking was that it should have at least matching pairs as well.. after i install ill post the news

thats what it says on the goodridge box, as well as what i ordered... any ideas?? the place i got them from says that since goodridge doesnt have these parts just ready to ship, that they instead just build each order when its recieved. if that matters at all??

hello members.. i ordered some stainless steel goodridge brake lines and noticed something a little odd about the lines... each line (4 in total) is a little bit different in length and has a nut that seems to be at a different location on each line. here is a pic of the items in question, the circled parts are at different lenghts on each line, as well as each line is a little different in length. im sure its not a big deal but i just wanted some xpert advice -ali

I was home for a couple days before school starts and I was cleaning out the mess in the car. Well the wire running for my aux input from my headunit to my nano and xm radio was kinda of an eye sore. along with the xm sat antenna not actually run properly, the wires were everywhere!! i just wanted to post some pics of the finished install (headunit connected with 3.5mm plug and sat antenna run are the two cables you see. I wanted to run a invertor or some sort of power to the center console location, but didnt seem a priority. enojy BELOW: inside the center console.... note the great craftsmanship on the wire outlet, rubber outlet with wire managment BELOW: the nano and the xm radio fit fine with plenty of room BELOW: close up of drill hole needed, used a large rubber o-ring to make the egdes wire safe, and then tied a zip tie to make sure the wire only comes out but so far. after that hot glue guned the rubber to the console from the outside. BELOW: carpet, shows the wires coming together BELOW: here is a close up, sorry for the blurry, on the otherside of the center console. BELOW: headunit, its fairly old, had it since high school, which was about 4 or so years ago... but i wish i had rear aux inputs BELOW: pics of xm antenna, i love the small sleak antenna, the wire is a very small guage so it was easy to tuck into anyplace i needed to... and more BELOW: just another view of the install i just hope that it lasts and works for a while, and maybe inspire someone out there to organize their setup... -ali

as to the how... he was trying to open the hood but i guess the lever was stuck and it just broke off... i saw the part called a "release handle" go figure. it looks like its the handle part, i dont need the cable and is only 10 dollars. thanks for the help guys... Gnuman- i already ordered it for him from the site, he needs is pretty soon, were off from school and only have little time left at home.. thanks to all

stupid question but cant find an answer.. i was looking at 1st subaru for the part but to no avail... i need to know the part name or number for the hood lever... my friend broke his lever, but was trying to get a replacement (junk yards here never have subies..) to clearify its the part in the interior that you yank on to pop the hood. any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance

make sure you have a 4wd model for that particular set of struts. i think there is a difference between the rear ones from fwd to the awd models.. can someone correct me if im wrong??

of course when reading that i had to google it... i didnt find any more detailed pictures, but from their website they have a pic of the beast near the middle of the page... check it out it looks mean linky: http://www.modified.com/modifiedmag/modifiedmagpreview.html

wow.... talk about a good find, i wish my engine still looked liked that... josh yours is the closest on the board lol

sounds like a cv is broken or about to break on ya -good luck

UPDATE... installed all the new parts (rotors,brake rebuild kit,pads, and speed bleeders) the ceramic seems to be a nice pad so far.. did the break in and the rotors seem to have taken to the bed process. as for only hic up, the speed bleeders seemed to have not set as easliy as i hoped, the tightness when i thought i was done was enough for some fluid to leak. as for the brake bleeding, i really can attest to the easiness of the speed bleeders. i tightened up the bleeders as tight as nessesary to prevent any leaks. (dust covers kept shooting off). i didnt get a chance to install my stainless steel lines because they have yet to come in the mail. i was on a time constraint, i was only home during my winter break from college... -ali

got mine here for 27 for two including shipping... very cheap from others posts http://store.yahoo.com/brandsportinc/sylv-9003xvbp.html -ali

where did u get them and how much for a pair??

that was the idea i got on the bedding procedure from stop tech... as for the ceramic, i never used them before but instead was a semi-metallic rest of the time. i will post to see what i think about the pads with the brembos, but from what ive read on this forum people have really liked these brakes... -ali

another question that i dont know if it needs its own topic but is on the same grounds... the akebono pads i got (ceramic) did not come with a break in directions but instead were advetised as "no need to break in" on the website of the place of purchase. also when looking at the manufacturer website, there was no clear peice of truth to that... so im standing on the choice of what to do?? -ali

josh, i was thinking about cyro treating them but ive read other posts on the subject and found it wasent a 100 all in favor. i guess is the question is, is it worth it for daily driver is the question. there are no places in the area that do it so the post would be the obvious answer. but my biggest question would be do you feel that the braking has been benefited from this or just the ability to keep rotors straight the only upside, as well as pad tolerance in terms of does the cyro treated rotors treat the pads any differently. -words from an novice

figured as much....

funny... there is no recall apparently for the MY 94 legacy lol

i am quite interested about the last comment on them being knock offs. i can post pics of the box, but they of course said brembo, but there was in fact no paper or anything of that sort in the box. i am going to take a look at the brembo website to see what the deal is, but is there anything to say what would give a truth to the rotors such as numbers etc etc thanks for the tips -ali

good morning, this post is before i have to head out to work... my rotors can in the mail a couple of days ago, (for my 1994 legacy l fwd with rotors on all four corners) and this morning i finally opened the boxes. i had ordered oem brembo replacements with some akebono pads from www.speedycarparts.com. well the problem is that when looking at the rear rotors, it seemed at first that one of them was "not so new looking". what i mean was the inside of the rotor, the part with the min depth engraved looked as if it has had contact with a hub on a car before.. reason being the slightest guitar pic shaped outlines. PIC------> as well as the fact there was in "rounded portion" on that same rotor as above that was not on the "new" looking rotor. PIC for comparasion----> and the not rounded one -----------> please any insight would be great before i may potentially complain about these apparent second hand parts. thanks in advance -ali

anything special to replacing the fuel injectors??? i remember hearing how they can get stuck on the rail pretty badly.. -ali

to the post above... ive been using my aiwa x517 ever since i got my car in high school, and am still using it to this day, in my 4th year of college... might have just had a lemon.. -ali

After reading all these posts, all i have to say is thank god for my remote start lol... all i have to do is look out my window, start my car and let it go. it then times itself and turns off after about 12 mins. the gas may be an issue, but well worth it to come to a car thats warm.. my 2 cents -ali
