All wheel drive is great, but....
subie94 replied to Martinjmpr's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXbecause soob owners are the only ones crazy enough to venture out in that kinda weather (am i right,or am i right?)

subie94 replied to Martinjmpr's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXmartin?-what kinda tires you got on the OB? only reason i ask is because i had some cheap(and worn)all-season tires on my 92 legacy wagon and the only time i got stuck was when i got high centered on a pile of snow/ice.(lifted two tires right off the ground) i used to drive along this road that seemed to always get plowed last min and the snow would be up to the top of my front bumper and she'd keep going. *you know it's (kinda) deep when you got snow coming up over your hood* -i wish our streets looked like that(got snow tires on,just gotta wait now)

Abs Light Stays On...98 Forester
subie94 replied to subarucity's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXi was surprised that the tone wheel didn't get damaged considering how badly the sensor tip got bent and chewed up..i'll have to check around for the cheapest.maybe junk yard

subie94 replied to subie94's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXwell i never said they were pretty.. just newer then old ones.IMO,they look better on the legacy then the stock wheels.which for some reason,don't look right. (now,i just gotta wait for snow)

subie94 replied to yarikoptic's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXi know..the 94 justy i got of this kid(which owned it for a month) for $175. was originaly owned by a little old lady and it's only probs was small rust at bottom of fenders.and she only had 74,000 miles on her. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- yarikoptic-i'd write them 1st,leave your # and if they want to talk,they can call.if someone called me about a car i owned,i'd gladly chat away.(but some might get freaked..)

Bought another subie
subie94 replied to Legacy777's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX(i wish there were old hatches around here) that's kinda how it was with me going from my 94 leg to the 94 justy.and then back a week or two later..though it seemed to take off faster then the legacy :-\ (getting the justy back this tax time)

would a connected speedo cable cause CEL to come on..
subie94 replied to subie94's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXfunny you mentioned zip-ties...i did that route once and silencer blow out after melting ties. and got ran over by a truck.it's wedged back in for now. (better take off now that i have some more back pressure) yup,after getting it hooked up correctly,the CEL went out..

Oil pressure gauge?
subie94 replied to ShakotanBoogie's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXi tried useing the stock pressure sending unit and as soon as i started the engine,guage pegged to the red. i think the stock unit sends a signal saying there's good pressure and doesn't send real pressure levels.. what ever guage you get should have a sending unit.they normally have two posts (1 for stock wire an 1 for guage) hope this helps..

would a connected speedo cable cause CEL to come on..
cause after replaceing some instrument panel lights and after getting it all buttoned back up.i relized that i might not of connected the speedo cable fully.wasn't able to pull dash apart cause i was over my sisters and it had gotten dark by the time i decided to check...well i decided i'd just drive home with no speedo and about half way the CEL comes on.didn't notice the engine running any differently. so would the lack of speedo cable hooked up fully cause the light to come on? didn't know if there was some kind of sensor or something.. any comments or suggestions would be appreciated,thanks

i was hoping that ranger wheels would fit my legacy
reason that i was hoping was cause there's a set of four mounted tires for free in my local paper.size is 205/74/14's (M&S) and they're mounted on early 90s ford ranger wheels.. i found out that rangers used a larger pattern(114,i believe) and where legacy is 100mm.would it be feasible to use them by elongate the holes or should i just put tires on my wheels? http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0oGkjhdYyhF6SEBsc9XNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE3M282bmw4BGNvbG8DdwRsA1dTMQRwb3MDNgRzZWMDc3IEdnRpZANZUzk4XzExNw--/SIG=11ogn32mi/EXP=1160361181/**http%3a//wheeltool.com/info/5bolt.html
