Trimmed my imp's bumper... *pic*
i just might have to go home and trim my bumper now...... it looks pretty good, but i do agree that you ned to reposition the bumper bar.....
-
transmission squeal?
auto or manual?
-
Swaybar, or no?
plain and simple, no. swaybars are just secondary springs to the struts... they are not neccesarry. just dont drive like a mad man in the streets and you'll be fine.

15" wheels on 00 OBW?
the best way to find out is to try it... find a friend with some subaru 15's hanging around, and see if one of them will fit.... if it does your good....

ea tranny, ej sti mounts???
well, im getting ready to do a tranny swap in my legacy to make it a true 4wd... im going to use the d/r from my old wagon, but the new wagon needs new mounts.... i found some cusco mounts that claim they will fit any legacy, impreza or forester..... will they work with my ea tranny as well???? just figured id see if anyone knows for sure before i buy them, just in case.

subaru articulation pics.
i'll have to see what i can do with the legacy when i get the springs on... maybe i'll just use a car ramp or something, i got some spare time today......

LSD rebuilding info
did u put the lsd additive in with the fresh gear oil? if you dont use additive that can make the lsd not work right......
-
LSD in 5 speed

Colorado meet?
im in no matter what..... just pick a spot....

Spring questions..stiff or not
i would say either some rs springs, or maybe some wrx springs..... you might also want to look into some legacy gt springs??? a bigger vehicle, more weight, stiffer spring, but wont lift like a forester spring would..... just a possibility

need to add a snorkel, and a splash/skid plate!
just follow the fender well to the upper back corner of the fender, works like a charm, at least mine did.......
-
diff swap????
has anyone ever tried using the rear diff insides of a lsd to make a lsd front diff? like taking the actual diff itself out of the case and try using it in the tranny? just a thought......
-
sub frame swap????
is it possible to swap over legacy/impreza sub frames to a 89 wagon? i know that there will be somne necesary suspension mods to the car so that it will all work, but i was thinking incorporate a body lift to help with that process..... what do you guys think???? that way i could essentially use the outback struts and springs on an old style wagon....... and have camber adjustment...... just a thought.......... it would be pretty pimpin if it were to work........
-
Colorado meet?
im ok with wherever, it would be nice to meet some new faces again, and to see everyones rides, i still need to get my springs in, but that could be done without too much of an issue, i hope...... lets keep this going, it needs to happen agian!!!
-
limited slip rear differential
i believe that the some of the turbo legacy's had a lsd rear end... also if you cant find an older style turbo it might have a clutch type in it, you would have to switch gears around, but it would work better........

Beefing up the power in a 2005 obw 2.5i?
i take my 2.2 to redline all the time.... the only side effect? it gets a little loud and makes people stare at me alot....( im also running only one cat and the borla header combined with a flowmaster "muffler", and the weapon R intake, it makes the car sound pretty mean.) you wont hurt the motor by revving the piss out of it... they put a rev limiter on it for a reason......
-
H6 any good?
i had heard rumors of crank problems with the h6, but they might just be rumors.....
-
Beefing up the power in a 2005 obw 2.5i?
well, you could always go with an intake, and maybe a header, followed by a catback exhaust, i'd say your looking at about $1,000 to add maybe 30 horsepower, thats a very generous geuss....

what ej heads can be swapped
subaru's are like legos. you can interchange just about everything. all sohc heads can interchange with each other, and all dohc heads can interchange with each other, you can even swap a sohc setup for a dohc setup. every single one of the ej motors is the same block, just different amounts of bore and stroke make up the larger motors...

Official Lift Kit Group Buy
i could be interested in an outback lift, but im a little shy of funding right now......
-
New owner of 96 outback impreza gt 2.2 liter looking for mods
lift kit, try scorpion automotive. australian company, look up renickmotorsports.com for that. perfomance parts for the 2.2, you wont find any, instead look for some small things for the 2.5 such as intakes and catback exhaust. borla does make a header for the 2.2. why do you want 2wd? awd is better, but i think there is a fuse in the engine bay you can pull? not possitive on that one.

EJ 2.2 Posibilties
offroadsubaruguy replied to CHIM's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXstart by going dohc, then upgrade to a wrx turbo and full wrx exhaust, intake and intercooler... and then go from there...
-
Hella 550s?
i've got 4 500's on the front of my legacy with no temp change at all...... i ran two on the old wagon and never expierenced any temp change....... i think you'll be ok.

Forester with 4" lift and 29" Super Swampers
which level of phantom grip did u use? the street one might not be the best choice, i'd go with something along the race lines.... of course you could go for a cusco, but be prepared to spend huge amounts of money, and im not sure if it would fit in an ea82 tranny....... the last i looked at prices, $1,500 was the cheapest i could find...... i'd rather try a stronger phantom grip instead........ just my opinion though....
-
Forester with 4" lift and 29" Super Swampers
if done correctly, no. because everything gets dropped the same amount from the body......
