  1. I got hit in the side of my outback, i need the drivers side doors, (both) and i dont have a clue where to look, please someone give me advice on where to find these, nationwide is ok, but i'm in seattle area. I would be ASTOUNDED if i found the sydney blue pearl color as that is my car, but totally rare and not counting on it! Thanks for all you guys continuous help! David see ya at wcss8!
  2. This car has many amazing mods done to it........like previous mentioned by others, modified cars mean something completely different to a buyer. Most Subaru enthusiasts like us aren't looking to purchase such vehicles, as the reason why we love subaru is nowhere to be found on your legacy. It looks pretty swift and i like how it's tastefully done, but you put in a lot of time, money and work into something that's going to be worthless to the subaru world.
  3. I had this happen and replaced everything that involved pulling the engine out! more info available on request.............cost me about 1800 buck swith labor and parts, i know a great mechanic in portland if you are around there, let me know, thanks--David
  4. ok, i checked the connector, although it is bad and starting to melt, the quick fix was to just put in a new fuse, need to get some new connectors soon.......anyone know what aftermarket headlights would work best? I've been using the Sylvania Silverstars
  5. exact same thing happened to me a few months ago on my 1997 outback, my mechanic changed the sensor for bout 160 bucks including the "code " cost, that's probably the problem, good luck!
  6. slightly stranger thing happening to my 1997 outback wagon, one headlight is dim and doesn't even come on full power when i switch on the brights.........is this an electrical issue or maybe just a connection issue between the bulb and the wiring harness? I have tried numerous bulbs to no avail, any help please would be appreciated, tahnks! David:confused:
  7. Is he the one in Tigard off of Hall BLVD? If it is, thats who I go to! Subaru Pro Autotech
  8. Thanks buddy! I got ahold of my mechanic later yesterday and he said the exact same thing, swapped it out in 30 mins, total cost 162 bucks..........thanks for your help guys
  9. recently in the shop yes, I had the heads and all that stuff done while the engine was out....timing belt, water pump, plugs, etc. etc. My mechanic doesn't charge either, but I haven't been able to get to him to plug the car in and read the codes..........any ideas off hand?
  10. OK, 1997 Subaru Outback Limited...............on the way home from work i noticed the speedometer AND cruise control not working. A few miles later the check engine light came on and my subie's idle went really low when stopped at a traffic light. Then when mostly home noticed the engine."Acting" like it would when you hit the redline but only at about 4,500 rpm........seriously I love subarus, have owned them for a long time but i am positively clueless as to what's wrong with my baby! help me please!? I have had no previous problems for at least a few months, thanks-David
  11. ok so i went to drive around in the snow this afternoon, was running some high rpm' and what not like we all love doing in the snow. Car died, started ok and drove bout 7 miles, get to my friends house, and there is oil in my coolant...........did i blow a head gasket? if so, anyone have some advice on changing that? i know it's much to large of a job for me to take on myself, but is there good cheap shops in the portland area? 1997 subaru legacy outback limited, 2.5 motor dualcam thanks guys-David
  12. thanks for the help bro! i really need to wait till i'm rested up and free alllllllll day, i've studied it a bit, but god what a pain, someone told me the mechanic book time on this is something like 2.5 hours, haha
  13. Anyone ever change the plugs on the 2.5 motor for 97 outbacks? Is this just a pain in the rump roast always or what? any advice appreciated......
  14. It doesn't slip , once i get it into gear, it seems the problem today after looking at it more is that the clutch is maybe only half engaging? I'm not sure, It's just almost impossible to get it into gear, I really hope it's not tranny problems, by the way the car has 157,000miles on it........
