  1. I have a '90 Legacy wagon with the adjustable suspension. I bought this vehicle used, and the previous owner had "disabled" the suspension components. I believe that the front struts have air in them but the air lines have been disconnected from the solonoid and clamped shut. I don't know about the rear struts. The previous owner said that the parts to render the system operable again were very expensive (what isn't??) and that's why he made the modifications. After an indeterminate amount of time, the height control button light starts to blink. I can remedy that by either shutting off the engine and restarting, or by just covering the light with electrical tape so it's not an irritant. My questions are: Is this system worth the effort and cost to repair? All of my driving is done on the road, and if I REALLY need to have clearance, I'll drive my 4x4 Suburban. If it's not worth repairing, how hard is it to replace the air struts with standard coil over struts and just be done with it?
  2. Samo, Even though I own 3 Subaru's, I really don't know much about them. Hence, my next question. What's an EJ swap? I'm guessing maybe a transmission??? Unfortunately, I can't go to a manual, as this is my wife's car and she won't drive a manual transmission vehicle. Brad
  3. Greetings all! New member and first post here! I am the proud(?) owner of three Subaru's. 2 of them are Legacy's and one is a Loyale. It's the Loyale that is the concern at this time. This thing is a dog!! As noted above, it's a '93 wagon with a 3 spd automatic. It can scarcely get out of it's own way. I would almost bet that my 1300cc motorcycle makes more hp and torque than that car does. What is the best I can expect from this beast, and what will I need to do to obtain the best? BTW it has somewhere around 195,000 miles on it. Thanks in advance for your advise. Brad Lakewood, CO
