I need to replace one of the injectors on my aunt's 91 legacy. When I was looking on-line to price out a remanufactured replacement, they list two different part numbers. One is for manual, and one is for automatic. The pictures even look different. Does anyone know why they are different? Keith

The car is under warrenty you should take it back to the dealer.

Subaru was partially OBDII in 95, and I believe fully OBDII in 96. That is why the 95 EJ22 will swap in place of any 96-98 EJ25.

I've got a 96 EJ25 with good heads but a loose bottom end, and I've got a 97 EJ25 with a good bottom end and bad heads. I know there is no difference between the short blocks, but are there differences in the heads? Keith

Charcoal Evap canister for emissions. The older cars have them next to the engine, the newer cars have them tucked under the bumper near the gas tank. Keith

That's all I run, the BKR6 or BKR5 (5 is a slightly hotter heat range and better if you do short commutes or have an engine will blow by/ burns oil) Keith

Defenitely not the tires. The GT runs 195/60R15 stock size tires, and the Brighton is running 205/70R15s from an outback. I think I'll just try swapping the pumps between the two cars first.

90 minutes Do you have a Turbo and TMIC? The starter should be a half hour job. It's soo easy to get to on a non turbo car. Also, the dealer in Reading charges $80 an hour labor, so I'd say you saved about $100-$120 between labor and the part probably costing $120-$140 at the dealer.

So I have a 95 Legacy Brighton Wagon and a 96 Legacy GT Wagon, and I've noticed that the GT's steering is quite a bit heavier than the Brighton's. My fiancé is the one who normally drives the GT, and she hates how heavy the steering is. If I could make the GT's steering as light as the brighton's she would be happy. The question is what is making that difference? Is it the pump or the rack? Keith

Just to be sure, the next time it happens don't touch the shifter. Try repeatedly trying to start the car, like once or twice a second for about 5-10 seconds. If it all of the sudden kicks then it is an issue with the contacts in the starter. My 96 with 195k on the clock does this, and I'm pretty sure I still hear the click in the dash when it doesn't turn over. Keith

Yes, but the Redesign is not the Fox body that we are talking about. We're talking 90's

Now, I haven't had any involvement with Rally America since it's inception, but this is a prime example of how RA doesn't really care about most of the people running their rallies. We were not entered as a national entry. We were entered as Both regional entries because you get to run the exact same stages, but save $100. Only difference is that your pionts don't count towards the national championship. So, to see the Regional level results you have to go to the following absurd locations: 1. Main R-A site. 2. "Old Site" link on the right 3. "Live Updates" link at the top 4. "Results" link at the top 5. Change "National" to "Regional" 6. Pick Stage 4 to see the results at the end of the first regional, and pick stage 9 or 10 to see the results at the end of the second. We finished 6th overall in the first regional, and 3rd overall in the second. If we would have been entered into the national we would have been something like 17th overall. I managed to come down with what would later be diagnosed by my doctor as Bronchitis. I had almost no voice on stages 5 & 6, and by the time 8 & 9 came around I was almost useless. It was a shame. 5, 6, & 7 are run in the daylight, and run again in the night as 8, 9, & 10. Normally we would be faster the second time through, but Don not being able to hear at least half of the calls he had to really back off. It's still much better than the past two years. Keith

95 is non interference, and it is also roller rocker! It is probably the best year for all the 2.2s 204,000 miles on mine and running strong!

No, it doesn't do anything crazy. The drive ratio better be the same. I bought the car with a bad transmission, and the replacement unit was bought based on the car VIN, and the numbers matched between what came out and what went in.

My 96 Legacy GT Wagon's Speedometer is reading fast by 15%-20% That means when it says about 36, I'm only going 30-31, and when it says 70, well I'm only going about 55. It has what is supposed to be the correct 4EAT transmission. The speedometer is original, the tires are the correct size for the car and have about ½ their tread on them. What could be causing it to read soo far off, and does anyone know how to fix it? Keith

Looks like it's just Co-Driving for now, but I'll still be there. Simply ran out of time to take care of everthing that would have been required for me to drive. Insurance companies suck...

I just replaced the gas tank on my 95 which spent it's life in NH until 2005. NH salt and sand KILLS cars. My gas tank was rusted out from it, and in the process I discovered that my rear cross member was also rusting out. I had to replace a section of one of the brake lines due to fatigue from rust. Replacing the gas tank required me to "drop" the brake lines some and in the process the one broke from rust. I don't personally see how you could properly replace the fuel lines with out removing the gas tank, and removing the gas tank is not all that easy. Keith

The "East Coast" Meet was 2-3 Hours away this weekend in Carlisle. That's what you missed.

Well, at this point I'm not sure how early we will get there. It's been a long week for me and the lady, and this is my first day back in the country since Cinco de Mayo. Right now I'm thinking we'll get there around 10:00 saturday, but then leave around dinner time. The only real question is do I bring the 05' GT or the 96 GT with the 2.2 Swap???? Keith

Well, if people are meeting up somewhere for breakfast saturday I'd love to come. How does 8:30 saturday morning sound?

Yeah I'll be there... competing This is actually my first Rally-America event ever. When Rally-America took over from the SCCA I didn't maintain my license. I've been doing only NASA events since then. So I'm currently working on my licensing, but I'm hoping to run the first regional with my father co-driving, and co-drive the second regional for my father. Have to wait and here from them. Keith

Or as I like to say, In the back, near the pissers, where no one bothers us.... Last Year the Saab guys had a big party saturday night.... I'm sure Dave and Melissa remember the gent from Saab that came for a visit.

Yup, showered there both saturday and sunday. Not bad at all. plenty of hot water and the wait wasn't long. There are also hoses out side of that bathroom for washing your car... if you're desperate This year I think I'm only going to make it for saturday.

What did the flywheel surface look like? We just had one where there were slight ridges on the internal and outer edges of where the clutch makes contact to the flywheel. These ridges made a brandnew disk and pressure plate still slip.

100% correct. Take a look at the Subaru World Rally team if you want more proof.
