  1. try some KYB GR2's and get OEM springs, ill bet your originals saged and with old struts ya, so it should raise it about 1" from where you are at(PS there OEM quality). About the gas mileage try replacing plugs and wires, air filter,fuel filter, and replace the o2 sensor, use fuel injection cleaner, also try spraying the throttle body with throttle body cleaner i did it and my engine is running soooo smooth and idles unnoticeably. Now the blower motor? um maybe its overcooling the engine, is your temp gauge reading in the middle? About the sound like a shower, you might have your emergency brake or the brakes dragging as manarius mentioned, i had that issue turned out to be a brake dragging and the pad was totally warn, so it was a metal to metal braking which created the sound, so look into some new rotors, and pads.
  2. ya! doesn't look TOOOOOOOOO bad. Actually those hub caps look pretty good :-p any drivetrain problems? Or just the body rust and small damage the issue? Guess you better head out to a junk yard and get a few pieces
  3. something is wrong with the 08 Impreza ItS A MAZDA 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It bothers me when a brand i love copies other brands that just suck. Why can't subaru design there own car from scratch
  4. I don't think its #1 unless were all lesbians here and im pretty sure these trannies last longer then most other manufactures, and headgasket issue is only common on first gen 2.5 engines. And subaru's overall get pretty good fuel economy considering they are AWD and weigh a crap load.
  5. It doesn't really matter you shouldn't be running it for longterm use. But i beleive its 15 amp.
  6. Well it can last forever if you think about it like any car as long as you watch for rust. But id estimated 900,000miles then you need to do a engine and tranny well the 4th tranny
  7. Ill bet if the transmission fluid was changed at proper internerals torque bind would not be common. Only thing is the drive solenoid can STILL fail.
  8. ya, its crazy the prices there, i forgot when i saw it, but a 92 legacy in the same condition as my car sold on ebay in BC for $9000+ CDN. Pretty crazy, totally stock just very clean, nothing so clean, that i could not do with my car.
  9. Hey, today i opened the trunk and it wont hold it up :-\ So i am looking on this site, but i have no clue what section i need to look under, or what the shock is called. Thanks. Its for my 1993 Subaru Legacy L wagon. https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/oe_parts_cat.html also post sites if you know of a cheaper place to buy the shock thanks!
  10. Ya sounds normal, but it also sounds like one wheel has a brake dragging. Might want to check the parking brake setup.
  11. nope, not at all, the only time there is a problem, is when the vehicle is OFF and it is rolling, because there is no fluid flowing around the transmission, and burns up the clutch.
  12. My front left CV has a broken boot, and it really makes the car drive like ************, it makes acceleration VERY hard(i think its seizing when i stop) i mean its super rough on accel, its like VVVVVCRACK then it smooths out(when i say crack i mean the dash board cracks, v's represent engine reving) must be very bad the CV, i think im going with OEM this time around, im done with aftermarket, they just don't last as long, even the boot quality sucks.
  13. you definitly won't have that problem But i think the timing belt is due. because after all these years, it probably deteriated, and the older design belts were made to last i belive like 80k. Or less.
  14. are you kidding?????? Thats a steal man! awsome deal. People pay that much for one with 200k jeese.
  15. Wow!!! nice ride you picked up man!! and the mileage is SUPER low!!!! Great find, how much did it run you?
  16. Man, that sucks! but the dealer should have tested it before installing everything you know.
  17. its probably because it has a better crash rating, and it has the immobilizer, AND its a subaru
  18. i dont get it either, i mean side impact is 8? out of 5? http://automallusa.net/1993/subaru/legacy/ratings.html
  19. I think these cars overall ARE strong, but what can not be predicited is if your body can take such hard force. Like if you were in a car that will NOT crumple NO MATTER what, if you hit a solid cement wall, you can still die, because the vehicle needs to withstand some of that impact!
