Some really nice work there. Congrats on the find and the resto. And $3 in change to boot!

That was neat, thanks for sharing.

Stupid question, but, I would need to scavenge a 5sp tranny from a OB to get the 4.11 final drive or can I just do a gear swap? I'm new at this so please pardon my lack of knowledge.

No pics, but...
My 2005 Legacy 2.5i wagon has 135,444 and my wife's 2005 Impeza 2.5RS has 88,001.

I want your tent trailer
Mine? 1994 Coleman Destiny Roanoke. In great shape for the year. We love it. 990lbs empty and the Soob tows it quite well.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

p0420 is indeed the code. I was told either Subaru upper engine cleaner or Seafoam might cure the code by cleaning everything out. Might be worth a shot.

Hello,
I have a 2005 Legacy 2.5i wagon and the CEL comes on intermittently with the catalytic converter code. According to my mechanic, the converter will need to be replaced to the tune of $800-$900. Would a universal fit (like a Magnaflow) without throwing a code? They seem to be a lot cheaper. Also, will this adversely effect low-end torque at all?
Thanks!

Hello,
I have a set of Bosch old school rally lights and I have seen folks who have the same body style as mine mount their lights through the front bumper (see pics). How is this accomplished and do I need any additional parts to mount these up? Also, anyone who has done this around here and would be willing to help (my knowledge and tools are limited) there would be good eats and beer waiting!
Thanks 2112

Howdy!
I have a 2005 Legacy 2.5i, 5-speed wagon that I have plans to lift. My intention is to purchase lifted OB King Springs with a set of rear "saggy butt" spacers. I was also considering the body lift blocks from an OB. I would also be upgrading the camber bolts and any worn bushings to be replaced with poly bushings. KYB OB struts/shocks and new top hats will also be purchased. Is there anything I should be considering or am forgetting?
I also plan to outfit it with Primative skid plate set and fabbed front light bar (4-tab with a provision for a CB antenna) and rear hitch mounted tire carrier.
Other upgrades will inclade CB, upgraded stereo, additional guages, BF Goodrich ATs, rally mudflaps and lower body bedliner repaint.
This will be an on-going project (as they all seem to be) and needed repairs (HVAC issues, inoperable rear wiper and a few other odds and ends) will need to be completed first. This vehicle will be primarily built for the awful roads around here and some light to moderate off-roading. (Still cheaper than buying a new one!)
Again, if I am forgetting or should there be better alternatives, I am open to suggestions as my experiences are with a heavily modified Explorer, a Neon rally car and a Jeep Speed Challenge Cherokee, never an AWD or a Subaru.
Thanks!

Once the funds are available, it will be getting lifted, plated and probably the lower half painted with bedliner. She's got lots of scratches and a few dings and just sits too low for where I live. I will, hopefully, be getting King springs for the OB, saggy butts spacers and Primative skids. Plus I have a great set of old school Bosch rally lights that need to be mounted. I am also on the hunt for a fabricator to do a light bar and hitch mounted tire carrier (had one on my Exploder and it worked great).

That is very, very cool. Excellent workmanship.

The very definition of a "used" Subaru. My wife and I called our pick up truck because we use it for everything. The following is the clean car, "fancy" shot:
135,000 miles and it just keeps on going and going and going...

Hello, 2112 here. I have a 2005 Legacy 2.5i that is long overdue for mods. I am looking to upgrade to King Outback springs/struts and add skidplates and auxillary lighting for the rural dirt roads around here. Looking to chat with like minded folks and learn more about what others do to their roos and how I can apply it to my planned build.
Cheers!

Thanks for all the input. I lost the heat shied last winter and I do notice the exhaust (inside) seems louder than usual, but strangely, can't find any leaks anywhere. Been out of work awhile so fixing this has gone to the back burner, but at some point I'm going to need to fix it.
