The Legacy and the Outback are the same platform- the reason they show differences is some cars have the plug and pray harness for the hitch, some don't.

That's the Subaru OEM gauge pack kit for the naturally aspirated cars. http://subaruproparts.com/product_info.php?products_id=401

Still doing these? If so, can I bug you for a set ? Thanks! Brian

Seriously though, just kidding . I removed the dash to paint it (it's one of the last few bits in reconditioning all the plastic trim in the cab) and this is what was left. Below is the dash before in blue and this is the dash after, in charcoal gray I'm anxious to get everything back together to see the completed look. I need a favor if someone could though; I have been pulling bits apart since last August, and forget how this metal bracket attaches. Does anyone have a photo of their center dash area with the radio console piece removed? I can't figure out for the life of me how that metal piece above the shifter and to the right of what's left of the steering column in the last photo attaches to the bottom of the dash. Thanks!

The key with D-Con is to leave a saucer of water out near where you see their droppings/nest/etc. but "in the open" for a week before putting the D-Con down, and keep the saucer full. The D-Con makes them thirsty (it actually dessicates them from the inside out, and is a hideous way to have to die if you think about it) and they learn where the water is. You put the D-Con down a week later and keep the saucer there. They go to the water saucer out in the open, and keep drinking but of course die anyway, but they're in the open and easy to collect.

I dunno . I have three metal lines about 5" away from three metal nipples on the gas tank... I know I removed them from there (I have the old bits of hose still) but I don't know where each one goes is the problem.

Thanks very much!

I don't know why I forget to pay attention to things I would normally be very careful about with my Impreza (probably because the Impreza is on the only running car at the moment) but there are three small fuel lines running off the passenger side of the fuel tank near the filler tube on my 1985 Brat that I removed when I pulled the old tank out to put the heavily undercoated new rust-free tank in. Problem is, I forgot to pay attention to where each line went. Go me. At any rate, one of the three lines is smaller than the other two making it a no-brainer, but the other two lines are identical in size. What I'm talking about: Body Side Of The Lines Tank Side Of The Lines Does anyone know which line in the "tank" photo is #1 and which is #2? The parts exploded diagram doesn't make it clear at all, and the techs at the dealership can't remember (granted, only two of them have ever worked on a Subaru this old). Any help would be most gratefully appreciated!

gbhrps, on your car, it's often the case (sometimes, it can even be a bad knock sensor causing the issue). On CherylP's car, each plug has a coil sitting on top of it (four in total whereas you have one). While one of the coils could[/b] be bad, I'm hoping the first thing the shop did was try swapping coils from one plug to another to see if the misfire moved.

You are only 6,000 miles from your warranty being up? The 36k or the 60k? The plugs are due at 60k in any event, and in all honesty I would change them out every 30k. If you are 6,000 miles from your 60k, it's not too soon to change them. To be even more honest, I'd change them out for coppers, as platinum plugs are for low maintenance, not high conductivity. You have to change them more often, but you get a better conducting plug that costs that $2 each instead of $13. That will hopefully help the misfires. WRX's misfire more often than the CEL will show, as the ECU is desensitized to them. Ask the dealership to see if your car falls under a reprogram VIN range.

Absolutely the same

Could someone give him a poke? I'd like to resolve this amicably, but even my PM's have gone unheeded

That makes me feel a bit better, but 6 months is AWFULLY slow .

Shawn, I saw that too, as I was digging into who is hosting his email addy for more specifics on his geographic location. I would like to believe it is just that the email is down, but it comes back saying the address was rejected, not that the account doesn't exist. I would drive down there, but it's at least 2 hours each way for me, and I was hoping someone local could poke him for me and say "hey, look at this." I'll try PM-ing him, but I don't expect any reply...

Well, I understand that I suppose, but would it not be better to leave the street address out and leave at least the state in? I want to know if someone knows this guy, and leaving the state out kind of defeats the purpose. I don't care if my address is publicly visible either.
