Island Roo

I have a legacy with auto belts and they are messing up can I replce with manual type? Thanks

I have an intermittent speedo not working and am wondering just how to test for which part. the cheezy manual says there are 2 VSS sensors one near the front of the trans and one on the t case area, and a buffer in the cluster, are they both for the speedo, or is one used for ABS? any help is greatly appreciated, cheers!

still suspect the belt is not timed right?

oops its a 99

i have some rims 18x7.5 with a 35mm offset and my buddy has tires 255/45R18 and want to know if they will fit on a stock legacy OBW rims look like this but gunmetal, I have tried calculators and searches but want to hear from others who have had these or what the max tires they have had on an OBW, or what the biggest on a stock legacy OBW with no cutting or rubbing, thanks

cool just thought I'd ask, also my replacement gaskets were subis this time, heads and intake are back on

well i am putting in new head gaskets in my 99 OBW and they sent a thin one and the old ones were thick and like 4 plates, it only had 139,000km but when they ran it low on trans fluid the heat from slipping, low on fluid (rev and not going anywhere) went into the cooling system and it over heated, so i call Beck Arnley tech support and they call back later oh sorry buddy our fault the kit should have been labeled for a 05-07 2.5 so i had already torqued with new bolts etc and now have to re pull it all. anywho new shat here tomorrow and the parts store is going to replace the bolts and supplement gaskets under warranty. but after how hard is it to add a turbo to this motor , and where to get it, or plain old just dont bother? thanks, yes i did some searching

i looked and only saw a 4" but i dont want to go that high

I want to lift the OBW a couple inches, pis I have searched: it captioned"forester, legacy, imprezza does that mean it would lift if i and foresters in a obw? or differnet than stock legacys? and what is an anti lift? and this part and where does it go? barring that what can I do to lift it a couple inches? thanks

nice build man! looks good lifted

thanks for the reply! is there a manual trans i can stuff in without too much problem, i do know my way around a wrench just not too sure on compatibility

ok i have a 99 leg outback and of course the 2.5 needs head gaskets but also the trans slips bad in first gear, what are my options for a trans, i would really like to go to a 5 spd what bolts up to it, apparently for this year subi theres a trans break ie different trans mid year?, if not the car may have to sit until i figure out what to do with it. thanks

just going to start looking for a new Daily Driver and want to know the difference between them thanks, say 96-99 in years

just reading and came across the post and lead to username lpg Brumby I was going to say run propane through your turbo my thinking would say the cool charge from the turbo cool it would it not?

I redrilled the rotors and drums Isuzu trooper wheels the car is gone, may it rest in piece

ya thats 1 and 4 alright

no that didnt help, but now found no spark on #1 and #4 cyl, new wires didnt help , cap looks ok but gonna change tomorrow

floods while cranking, but i do not have the rad in it yet, could it be coolant sensor not being in wayter causing false readings?

before i tear into this and rip every relay out, where is the power window relay? the book says behind dash and also controls power sunroof, sunroof works but no power to drivers main switch, if i apply power they all work,fuse is good, if i start tracing wire it heads rear, under seat perhaps? also anyone know if you can buy jst the rollers for the window regs? last the cruise switch light up but no cruise , bad contacts at steering wheel? car has been sitting since 01 thanks.

noticed some say outback struts for an imprezza, but whats an inexpensive way to gain a couple inches on a Legacy, i like it, it drives well but feels way low thanks.

on an interference engine i would use a new one, now that being said i have reused timing belts on non interference engines(if they were easy to get at if they ever did go again) and ran them for the recommended interval with no problems

its a 90, theres lots of roads here, also a short ferry to Vancouver Island, ya 15" alum wheels 2.2 turbo, a/t fully loaded , viscous LSD,and 163,000 orig km for $1400 CAD always Suabru seviced, garage kept, belonged to a lady whose health was failing, the rest is a long story, it needs acouple things, rr tailight assembly and to fix the rear defog and power window dont work. http://http://www.quadraisland.ca/map/gifs/qi-map_2.gif heres a road map, its mixed winding hilly roads and noth parts are hot mixed paving and winding gravel roads

im excited about this one just got it

looks good, maybe move the signals behind the grill and chop the rest of the bumper

i will come check on you tomorrow after work
