hah, damn! i really wanted that job :-p i was going to leave raytheon for it :-p but yeah... it shouldn't be that hard to rig a filter in the line should it?

yeah, i really like the Beany wheels i was actually thinking some gram lights... but they're pricy :-p

Don't mind the flat tire in the pic... darn leaky valve stem... hmmm.. looks like the height of a legacy! but w/ OB body styling... crazy!! i guess that's what you get when you put some megan racing coilovers under her so to that i say! Goodbye Body Roll, Goodbye extreme tilting of the car on hard accelerations & braking, and Hello Adjustible Ride Height & Damping! and yes, i did fix the valve stem :-p

Well, i'm guessing you have a newer OB/Legacy, like 05+ on some select models there's a filter that filters the air going into your climate control system, i guess it's for people w/ allergies, or who drive through gary indiana alot It's very much a pain to get to, it's located behind the glove box, so you have to remove that, and pull a bunch of crap out of the way... i know i read a walkthrough somewhere... no clue where though.

sorry i brought up the 4eat i still love you guys though :-p ok... back to breaking the new car...

actually i think that was me in both cases :cool: but yeah, my switch actually bridged, and locked it up... towing a trailer on the highway. and it may have been abused offroad.. .alot. after i fried my awd :-\ i pulled the switch, and checked the resistance in both the on and off positions, got the same thing, so.. switch was fried. now, i'm sure if you used a better switch that i did (we just used something we found in the barn), say something that could handle up to 20-50amps, then you'd be all set, or even use a relay... which would have been the smart thing to do but... then again i was young and stupid.. and have my te 4eat taken apart in my shop now

I'm thinking about doing this w/ my OBS until i get new parts, but it has a 4eat, anyone think there'd be a problem with that?

do it!!!!

I'm guessing EJ22? if not that then an EJ18... but i'm almost certian it's a 22....

if you can't get it running, i'm sure it's worth being free for parts.

well... turbofans do have a bit of lag to them..... but once that puppy was fired up... yeah.... nice pics!

nice choppin' buddy

i was going to say.. it's a subaru.. it leaks oil.. but it shouldn't go that fast like nipster said, the oil pump is a good place to start, there's some phillips screws oh the top end of it that come loose, tighten them up and you may have fixed your problem. and it's not that bad to get down in there, that's where i'd start at least, because when mine did that, it would travel all the way to the headers... and that smelt good :cool:

Maybe i'll see if the junkyard will let me pull out that shaft... you never know...

yeah, it's def. not welded on there, but it is pressed on there mighty tight. i'll email jamie and see what i can get for part numbers and such. i figured i might do what nipster said and get 'new' parts.. so that part there, along with the clutch plates, and solenoid. the prices don't look that bad on genuinesubi parts i think it was 63 for the solenoid, and 103 for the plates i think. and yeah.. it looks like i could press the part off if i were careful... or just have a shop do it :-p

yeah... my girlfriend's 96 lego' has the original plug wires... and she wonders why it hesitates, and runs like crap

i bet your next problem will be spark plug related :-\ sorry.. that's just how my OBS treated me.. i give her something new and good.. .and it threw it right up

yeah... i have it in like that.. wierd i'll make sure the spring is oriented right so... another question.. anyone know the part number on the grooved part here: the one that the clutch plates go around: i'm pretty sure that it's supposed to be...not grooved :cool:

Does anyone know how the parking mechanism goes back in? :-\ it came out the 1st time i pulled the rear housing... can't seem to make it keep the wheels from spinning i think i'm just putting the spring on wrong... anyone have an exploded view that they care to share?

If i remember right, there IS a Duty Solenoid B... what it does..well that you can leave up to your imagination. :-p It's location... i believe it's in the middle half of the tranny, not so accessible when it's in the car :-\ maybe the code reader is confused? are you sure you're getting power to the rear wheels?

you have no idea how much i hate you :-p :Flame: anyhow, here's what it sounds like... it came out ALOT louder in the audio clip than it really is.

so your speedo is reading 3% to low, as is your ODO. i bet if you used a GPS to track your distance, from a zero point, when your ODO hits 100 miles, the GPS will read 103 miles... just a though

That's going to take a WHOLE lot of brakeing to get rid of

I'd check your tire circumferences asap, because a new set of tires is alot cheaper than a new transmission.. or... hours of agony, and having nipster say 'told you so' in smily face form :cool: something else that might cause it.. highly unlikely... how about an unbalanced drive shaft? The steering yoke is also another wierd thing alot of people would overlook, my OBS had one sieze, and it would shake all over the place, i soaked it in PB blaster a few times.. helped a little, but replacing the part was much more effective.
