How do you check for cel codes in a 91 legacy auto? My moms wagon has its check engine light on and i have a part car to get parts from, so i want to know what to fix.

Some one has to know?

Are you serious, need to be care full of that.

Yeah those 1 gen legacys will last you for ever. If taken care of. Those 94s are great cars.

I have a parts car 90 legacy sedan, that has all of those parts, the hood has some small dings paint chips (350,000 miles). I live in seattle and the car is gray/silver. Lust the parts and i can see if it has them, all the brakets and such. I dont know if i could get a crossmemeber out tho, no engine hoist.

Ive been hearing latley sence the 05 STi just came out dealers are pretty heasitent to giving them at invoice. I would wait tillthe end of themonth since dealers need tomake there quatas. You should post this on www.nasioc.com there seems to be alot more STi owners there, i think there may even be a thread about this right now.

Yeah the threaded pin, goes on the bottom for every subaru ive ever done. The caliper siviots on the top one.

Does any one know if there is a short shifter for a 1gen legacy trannie, would the shift knob be the same throught out all subes so i could get one for like a 2.5rs or something?

STI engines arent that expensive i thought a short block form subaru cost like $1500 new.

Did you damage the engine because of the water pump going?

Yeah i would check for brake clearences for any wheel. I really dont think it would look stupid, would make it look more off roady.

You know you can get a map for your ecu and a new exhust and get around 60 more horse for around $1300 U.S.

I wouldent use percentages to determine how much power you put down. They dont seem that acurate after you add or take away horse power. If a manule AWD WRX is losing almost 30%, and a auto FWD SVX is losing about 30% i bet it would be in the high 30%s. I wouldent belive 33%.

You could makeit through 4 ft of mud you jsut need a running start.

I know the ECU can try to stop detonation but it can only do it to a point, i really dont think it would run well at all on 87 octane. There was a STI owner that put in 89 octane on accident and saidhe had horible detonation with any boost.

I had no idea the starter would move car in gear. I only had to do a couple 1st 2nd shifts, about 4, and only one ground a little so i dont think i did any real damage to the box. The clutch cable felt kind of squisy, before it went. It broke off by the transmission at he first bend. The wire seemed to break at 2 parts, about 1/2inch apart, about half the wire was broke at onepart and half at the other. Gravel RX, yeah i did a 5spd swap in the SVX. Makes thecar alot quickeroff its feet.

It really depends on if its a uto or a manule. A stock WRX puts out around 170 WHP and 227 HP at the engine, so its alittle less than 30%. I really dont belive in the percentage if you add, or take way HP. I dont see how you would lose Hp at a linear amount, and i cant see a WRX 5spd with 1000 HP only having 700 WHP. I think your car would have around 110 WHP.

Yesterday I was working on my SVX bleeding the brakes, and when i finished i decided to take it for a drive, so i took it out the brakes worked great. So i took was taking my friend home that helped blead the brakes, then at a stop light my clutch cable broke so we pushed the SVX out of the street and parked it a a seven eleven. I went back with my tool to see exacly what happened the cable jsut broke right were it bends at the transimission. So my dad came with a legacy and we pushed started and i drove it home (4-5 miles through seattle) with out the clutch, first time doing do that on a sube. Is this normal to ahve the clutch cable break? I called the dealer and they said that it happens fairly often, but we never replaced it on my dads old legacy with 350,000 miles on it. I have a stronger presure plate with a aftermarket clutch so i guess it would make it harder, but the pedal fells the same as all the other 5spd cable subes i dorve, so it cant be that much stiffer.

I thought you could use 91 octane.

You cant really tell how relible the car will be untill it well over 150,000 miles on it, and i dought those 2002, 2003s do.

It would work but you would also need the rear diff with the NA trannie. The cable operated trannies are not as stropng as the hydralicly operated ones that are used on turbo legacys normaly.

For the rear i usally jack the car up from the rear diff, i have had no problems yet, and i have jacked my SVX up, which should weigh a little more than the Baja, ecpecaily in the rear. I use the front sub frame for the jack stands in the front.

The only real problem about a WRX is there trannie, when its a manule. The trannie only goes out really when people abuse them, by doing clutch drops, and power shifting, if the owner dosent abuse the trannie it should be fine. I would try to find a owner that wouldent abuse there car, i wouldent buy one from a tennager, or a a person who has done some modifications to there car, just becasue they would seem to have a higher chance of abusing it. Also the rear wheel bearings go out, but you can replace them with better ones that do not seem to have the same problem. I think subaru started to use the better rear wheel bearing after 2002 (not really sure on which year).

Subaru never made a new gen turbo vehicle with FWD. Alot of the stress on the trannie is put on by the AWD.

Yeah sorry about that.
