March 22, 200422 yr Looks good. in order for your stereo to not stick out, you have to make or buy an aftermarket faceplate for it like this
March 23, 200422 yr Author All right, where do I get the faceplate? I used my mill to enlarge the opening on the original faceplate so I could get it over the radio. Right now it sticks out 3/4", I put black electrical tape over the sheet metal to blend it in. Can I use someones face plate as a mold? I can make a copy out of fiberglass and give it back.
March 23, 200422 yr You can get these at just about any place that carries stereo equipment for autos.
March 23, 200422 yr If I still lived up there, I would let you borrow mine. I got mine at car toys in Tacoma for 15.99
March 24, 200422 yr Author The GOOD: First gas-up since I swapped trannys. Mostly commuting miles. Put in 12.9g drove 345miles, almost 27MPG? Sound about right? The BAD: Cecked oil again and again it dropped. Looked real close last night and there is oil coming from the oil pan drain, will replace that next oil change. However, I still have oil leaking out the front cover. I changed the ruined front oil seal when I pulled it. What else gives? Is it possible to change the cam seals and oil pump seals without pulling that engine? I only did the front and rear crank seals and the valve cover seals. I read some old post that I should have also replaced a couple of cam seals and oil pump seals? I don't have a manual yet for this model, so I've got no illustration to go off of. Also, I was on-line at parts express, what are the right part numbers and quantities I need? I'm not in a rush, but would like to have all the RIGHT parts when I decide to dive after this problem.
March 25, 200422 yr If you're still hankering for data, try this guy's website: http://www.finleyweb.net/default.asp?id=142 He has ultralight planes with Sub engines, so his PDF's only have engine and wiring information, but they've been a godsend for me. He has ones for your Legacy as well!
March 25, 200422 yr Author The funny thing is I'm a member of the EAA. I used to be a LongEASY driver. Currently I'm building a Cozy Mk IV. Fellow builders have used Sub engines, hence my interest in the make. I won't be ready to fly for awhile, but till I do, my Subaru's will be saving me money so I can afford one. I think I'm just going to head to NAPA for the parts (oil seals&gaskets) so i can return them if I get the wrong ones.
October 21, 200421 yr Hey Mr. Radon-- I know it's been awhile, but I am so impressed by your not only your know-how , but by your diligence in updating this board for newbies like me. Changed my first set of timing belts, oil pump, water pump, cap/rotor, etc. this weekend and it was a blast. I now have somewhat of an idea how much work you did. It would have taken me months to do that job. Maybe some day. Anyways, just wanted to give you a shout-out and let you know "job well done".
