njdrsubaru

ok here is the deal... i'm buying a low mileage ej22 for almost nothing.. the person is getting rid of it because its useless to him, so i have an extra motor.. now the plan: rebuild it entirely over the winter. then spring comes drop in the legacy. what am I looking for here: advices, tips and tricks on rebuilding an ej22 its my first complete motor rebuild... i am taking about "cracking" the block open and replacing it all, from bearings to connecting rods to pistons... thanks in advance Neo

i was able to mount my ecu behind the radio.. somehow i squeezed it in there, i tried on another legacy and it didnt work, but mine is still behind the radio and no problems

duuude i saw your post after i posted the pine barrens thing lol i'll try to go

CANCELLED! hey guys and girls i think its time to get one of these going its been awhile... When: Saturday, Sept 26th Where to meet: rt 206, Rangers Station, in Atsion, NJ, rangers station is about 10 miles south of the rt 206 and rt 70 circle link here What time: 11:30am Bring food/water, tow straps, cell phone, shovel and off course your AWD subaru! we'll be going into the wharton state forest, perfectly legal on designated trails, as long as your vehicle is registered and insured. Is a fun day out in the woods, sandy trails with occasional mud pits... nothing crazy just plain safe fun PM me for cell phone swap and more info

yeah i guess some of the 97s do have the Orings too hmmmm thats new info to me

only 2.2s from 90 to 96 had 2 o rings all other 2.2s had no oring just recently did a timing belt on a 99 2.2 and there it was no orings needed.. also a 97 i have done no orings needed

i'm assuming its an auto right? it will take you a few trans fluid changed to get the moisture out of the trans... i know some in here hates the lucas trans fix, but that was what saved my new tranny a couple of months back when i went through a deep puddle.. try that when u do change your trans fluid AGAIN you have to get it all up and running soon.. i'm planning a barrens meet in october lol

thats right no oring on passenger side cam only the seal

wow it seems like brown wagons love to get flooded! lol something similar happened to me :lol::lol: yes your abs computer is toasted u need a new one... its not a bad idea to have an extra ecu.. that one wont last long at all... its been more than a yr since i flooded my car.. just now that i am going to the JY next month to get a new carpet

for the speedometer.. you will need a new VSS2, located at the bellhousing on the passenger side of the trans

i may have that connector lol i have a few of them

hey those are the same lights i have in front of subarina!!! same brackets and all!! anyways, nipper... RS strauss sells a relay kit with harness that i am using on my lamps and my heated seats, it will also work for your lamps.. just in case that switch doesnt fit i have a few of them here

here is the part number for the rear wheel arch sticker right 91042ac430 left 91042ac440 and here is for the rear quarter right 91042ac450 left 91042ac460

i'll get you a part number when i get home tonight... i have a parts number catalog

hey guys i had a great time too.. david enjoyed the food so did I... we made home in under 2 hours!!! sorry i didnt respond earlier.. its just that my sat evening got ruined by some *&^%$%#s from down under and some other people that called me on my way home... and that made me depressed throughout sunday :mad: thanks connie for the burgers it was awsome, i ate some on sunday too... and jess thanks for the cake!!! :slobber: nice to have finally met you rob! pssssttt john.... be ready for the barrens with that winch :lol:

i test drove the outback with a cvt yesterday, and here is what i think... the car is nice but the tranny garbage! lol sorry i could never get used to it, it feels like it is slipping all the time, i even floored it and the thing didnt move, it only revved up... but overall i am very impressed with the vehicle.. i would take a 6spd manual base model in a heartbeat! i also testdrove the 3.6 legacy with the 5spd auto tranny.. that was diffrent i would def take that one.... just my thoughts after test driving them... i love the ground clearance on the outback i love the design and it is soo comfy.... FYI they went from coilpack to coil in each of the plugs and and and plastic intake manifold!!!!

tick tock tick tock

:banana:

good deal but offer him 800 :lol::grin:

ohh yeah rob is coming? i was all focused on connies cooking lol just kidding rob :lol::lol:

i've seen this happen to many of the 1st gen legacys your problem lies on the ignitor, its that square type of slim box by the fire wall right above the pitchstop.. change that and u are good to go
