brake differences?
There are two main sizes of front rotors on the 90+ subies. the single pot calipers meant to fit under the 14" wheels, and the two pot calipers meant to fit under 15" wheels. Later in the game, there were 16" ones, but I believe they are the same as the 02 wrx's.

'91 Subaru Legacy Wagon...have the POWER light codes. How to proceed from here?
Legacy777 replied to sam's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXPull the EGI/TCU fuse for 30 mins or so to clear the codes. Drive the car around, and then check the codes again. See if any come back. Does your speedo work?

drive belt tensioners maxed out?
Legacy777 replied to TheBigJ's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXGet new belts. It's possible the wrong size belts were put on.

Ohio Junkyards?
Legacy777 replied to mrCharlie's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou may want to also post this in off topic, since some of the old gen board members visit, and may happen to get to junkyards in that area more then some of the new gen members.

Part sources?
Legacy777 replied to badjer's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWhere did the condensor come from? A local subaru place, or just a generic parts house?

removing pen stripping
Legacy777 replied to sparkster58's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXUse a hair dryer to heat up the pin striping and just pull it off. Use some goo gone or something similar to remove any remaining adhesive. You'd probably want to use some polishing compound when you're done (after you've washed the car to remove the goo gone) to help remove any built up wax or debris that has created a lip. Be aware that the paint not covered from the pin stripe has probably faded, and you will likely be able to see where the pin stripe went.

replacing an AWD 4EAT with a FWD one....
Legacy777 replied to Numbchux's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI'd recommend swapping TCU's. Other then that, just remove the driveline and leave the rear diff and axles in.

cruise control

cruise control
Legacy777 replied to pamike's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHere are the wiring diagrams for the cruise control http://www.surrealmirage.com/subaru/files/swap/6-3_cruise_control1.jpg http://www.surrealmirage.com/subaru/files/swap/6-3_cruise_control2.jpg If you follow the power sources on the cruise diagram it definitely indicates fuses number 12 & 8 are in the circuit. Here's that diagram http://www.surrealmirage.com/subaru/files/swap/6-3_power_supply_routing2.jpg BTW, all the above documents can be found in my AWD & 5MT swap write-up www.surrealmirage.com/subaru/swap It sounds like you've done some of the main diagnostic work. The cruise computer is to right of the glove box. Remove the glove box, and you'll see a metal bracket to the right, remove that, and you should be able to get at the cruise computer. I'm not really sure what to tell you. You may want to try connecting the cruise diagnostic connectors, and seeing how the cruise light blinks, and if any codes are present. josh

ne1 fracture front sway bar? ('00 OBW)
Legacy777 replied to porcupine73's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYeah I've heard of a few people snapping the anti-sway bars before. Don't know if there was a manufacturing issue, or pitting and corrosion.

bearing dimensions anybody?
Legacy777 replied to turboguzzi's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI haven't touched the bearings on my 90 legacy. I have 186k miles on it, have lowered suspension, stiffer struts, wider tires, etc, etc....and don't drive very daintifully. I have no problems.

bearing dimensions anybody?
Legacy777 replied to turboguzzi's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIs this on an impreza or legacy? Typically the legacy bearings are fine and last a long time. The dealers were replacing the impreza bearings with legacy bearings for this reason. The other thing some did is did not pack the bearings with good quality grease. The stuff they are shipped in is just packing grease.

colored brake wear indicator?
Legacy777 replied to billyboy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI've never heard of what you're talking about, however that doesn't mean there isn't such a thing. You should just pull off the wheel.

e85
Legacy777 replied to fung's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSee this blurb: Ethanol has a higher octane than gasoline. But because it has more pick up, it burns more quickly. That's why you'll use more ethanol to do the same amount of work as gasoline. "Ethanol has about 30 percent less energy," said David Morris, an energy policy expert. "That is less BTU's per gallon than gasoline and that will be reflected if you have 100 percent ethanol in your car then you will travel 30 percent less." Without the proper tuning modifications, you probably won't be able to fully utilize the higher octane, and the car won't run well. There is an E85 sticky thread on http://forums.nasioc.com/forums in the engine management forum. You may want to check that out for more info specific to subarus.

floor mat hook
Legacy777 replied to dpoppeli's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDo your mats have little spikes on the bottom to dig into the carpet? The early legacies just had the little spikes.

bumper filler? cv axles? fiberglass?
Legacy777 replied to seanski06's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNot sure about the bumper issue. There's gotta be a flexible filler, but I just don't know it. As for the axles, what year is your impreza, and what year is the RS? They should work.

5MT Swap Cruise Control Question.....
Legacy777 replied to NuclearBacon's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI will tell you this regarding the neutral switch. I tried testing it like you did, and didn't get squat when the trans was out of the car. I don't recall if I retested it when it was back in the car. Do your reverse lights work? If so, temporarily swap the wiring for the reverse lights to the neutral switch. The reverse lights should go on when the car is in gear. The cruise switch should be independent of what you swapped in. Have you checked all your fuses?

Legacy777 replied to Richard1296's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYeah....as mentioned, it cost more to buy just the filter then it does to buy the whole kit. I bought the whole kit when I replaced mine.
