Weak Seatbelt Recoil - Can it be fixed?
You may not want to do that, they have a sensor ball inside and it is setup neutral to their mounting position, if their mouting position is different it will either lockup on you when you try to pull out the webbing, or worst case it won't lock up when you roll, or suddenly decellerate.

pictures of the "lifted imps!"
it may not be a question of taller, its a question of possible, in order to make the forester struts work in the legacy you have to use the legacy springs and re heat them to fit the forester perch.

Quick and dirty, to lift an impreza use forester parts to lift a legacy use outback parts

Huzzah, the hard parts over
I'm afraid i have misspoke, the physical hard part is over, now for the brainy part, trying to figure out how to make an 87XT wiring harness incorporate into an 88 DL/GL harness. Things that make you go hmm?

pictures of the "lifted imps!"
Just a heads up to all you contemplating the spring swap, the forester rears will not fit on the legacy, so for the rear you will need outback struts and springs. In a related note, anyone need forester rear strut assemblys?

Huzzah, the hard parts over
It was rough but i got sick of waiting for an engine lift, and using that as my excuse for about 3 months.

Weak Seatbelt Recoil - Can it be fixed?
They are a non serviceable item, replace them with "new" ones from the junk yard, but don't go tearing into them.

Huzzah, the hard parts over
Got the MPFI XT engine in the "88" Should be running by..... well, i have no idea, but the hardest part is over, a come-a-long, and a strong rafter where all it took.

Deepest water for a stock soobie
if you have the spfi, you can rotate the airbox and inake hose 90 degrees and have it come straight back into the spare tire section, re-routing the wires gets interesting but they are long enough, sorry no pic to explain better.
-
tires wearing on the inside
if you lowered the car in anyway suspension wise that will make it wear on the inside, but i'd get an alignment first, or at least check your toe.

highest mileage update
between the 4 subies i've owned, 3 i still have, i've got a million miles. maybe 100,000 are mine. the legacy just hit 206k, which is pretty impressive, cause i got it last june with 175k

Pictures of AA lift kit Parts
Isn't that flex picture the one in the comparison pictures as the BYB/PK lift? And as "CEO" don't you think your "clients" deserve good grammar? Seems kind of sloppy. "making this one of the most highest and most versatile 4x4 kits on the planet."

fouling #3 plug
get new wires, or swap the wires and see if the foul follows the wire, if this is mpfi it could be a leaky injector.

I learned two things today
1. If you are going to take a test that may determine the outcome of your life, take more than 3 weeks to prepare, or at least long enough for the free CD to show up in the mail. took the test saturday, got the CD today, two days late. 2. Subie related, look at all the parts before you give up. in a related note, rear Forester struts will not fit on the front of the Legacy, however i didn't realize until i put the front end back togetherthat i was looking at the rears, and the fronts would have fit just fine. :banghead: Please anyone else stupid out there today, i don't want to be the only one.

87 T-Wag Update (fuel additive)
seafoam, put a can in the fuel tank, and suck a can in through a vacuume hose when hot, let it sit for about 2 hours and start her up, won't look pretty but don't worry the smoke will go away.

Discoverer SST's on the legacy
The goodyear MT and the Superswamper both come in a 27 or 215, hmm, now i want SSR's on the legacy, i may be in over my head.
-
Discoverer SST's on the legacy
they only have the 27s for the 14 inch rim, i got a set of forrester wheels and the smallest for the 15 inch is 235/75R15 which is about 29 inches. i'll have to keep looking, that seems a bit excessive for a reasonable amount of banging on the fenders

BRAT vs. Toyo p/u
That truck is one of the few realistic ie not pinzgauer, non subies i'd like to own, nice score, Lucky.

Discoverer SST's on the legacy
so the stock legacy wheels are 22.7 and the disoverer SST's are 27.7, so the difference is 5 inches total, which divided by two is of course 2.5 so the real question is do you think they would fit with the forester springs and wheels? I'm gonna measure some time this week, but the look of those tires would be dang sexy on the legacy, and i'm not worried about a little pounding the fenders either. Yeah, i'm gonna crank this one to 11.
