  1. Yup, Texan basically explained all the modifications I was referencing. I know one guy on the bbs got 220awhp once with his 94SS. At least, I think it was awhp.
  2. Humming going around corners? I'd throw out bearings. Bearings do it all the time, regardless of direction. And no, I wouldn't do CV's because it's just best to wait 'til they're busted. Preventive maintenance with those kind of parts is just kind of pointless. However, that right shaft I question. Repairing the boot is generally not a good idea with CV's being so cheap these days. Who knows what got in there while the boot was torn for those few hundred miles. I might wanna chalk up the humming sound to a rubbing dust shield perhaps.
  3. No. It has nothing to do with your perceived "crack in your dash when you take off." Your car just flexes a little bit - deal with it.
  4. Highly unlikely. He said he replaced all the tires. I'm going with wheel bearing on this one. The mileage and central sound location suggest as such. However, before you just go have a bearing put in, just make sure that you don't have a dragging dust shield or brake. Probably would be easiest to test by jacking the car up entirely and listing to the sound. Wheel bearings make a pretty distinct sound.
  5. I second nipper's motion. If the car runs a little rough, I wouldn't suspect the injectors until they're ancient. I'd suspect almost any other thing over those.
  6. How much money do you want to dump in? I think they're good for up to 400bhp on stock internals.
  7. I think if the wagon is turbo, I can't see it being associated with an alternate lifestyle. When you're whooping another car's rump roast in your TLeg, they can't really think that.
  8. Did you uhh...check to see if it's actually the fan? That would really help. Try to pinpoint it with some listening....
  9. Yes, that's normal. Don't worry about it. Just make sure to clean the accumulated dirt out the fender wells every so often to help prevent rust.
  10. You're in Canada. That makes a big difference. You want a WRX, you're gonna pay in insurance. My vote goes to a Legacy or a Forester XT.
  11. Then your car must be a weird unicorn. I'm 99.9% certain that interference in Legacy engines happened in 1997. Perhaps your engine was replaced with a newer interference style engine.
  12. It has been done. It required some major modding of the front end to fit the radiator (because you need a bigger one for the EG33). It will bolt in...just fitting everything will be a big issue. Add to that the steering would be a little weird with all that weight.
  13. You can get a dealer cut key based on the VIN number if your car was registered at that dealer (or so I'm told by the dealership).
  14. Simple answer: No. Subaru redesigned the headgaskets after the minor problem with them and many people have put many miles on their cars after having the HG's changed.
  15. Yes. That's an EDM car so no amber markers - they're in the corner lights.
  16. 6cyl over Turbo engine for reliability. Less moving parts = less to break.
  17. 1. Shifter bushings I think 2. Loose vacuum pipe 3. I'd still go with a wheel bearing on this one. Blown struts just make the car flop around a lot.
  18. Find a JY MAF, they usually run ~75. Or, source one from somebody on here who's willing to sell it cheap to you. I'm sure that your MAF is toast. Replace it and you'll be fine. Running in limp mode is not an option because the ECU completely retards the timing and adjusts everything (you can't go above 4k RPM). Just FYI, the ECU is under the dash on the driver's side. It's almost directly above the brake pedal (if you're looking from the underside of the dash). It's a silver-ish box with lots of wires coming out.
  19. So, are you saying that you now don't have parking lights when you turn your lights on (as in, when your turn your headlights on, those are the only lights to come on)? If so, that's rather illegal in most states. Parking/Corner lights are required.
  20. Depends on the year, but I think only the upgraded (ie not L) models of Legacy's have pass through (not full fold down). However, I may be mistaken. Why not just get a wagon and be done with it?
  21. If you didn't wire them like this set up, you probably messed it up a little. http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/markerflash/markerflash.html
  22. Jamal basically summed up all you can do about pre-facelift headlights. Perhaps one might also want to invest in some Hella 500's?
  23. Yeah that is bouncy. Does it only do it when it's cold? My car does it when it's cold, but not nearly to that degree. Either way, greasing the speedo cable will require removal of the gauge cluster. Something someone who has skill should do that or else you'll end up with more problems than just a weird speedo. I say just leave it alone unless you're either 1. Rich enough to afford someone doing it for you or 2. in possession of skills that will allow you do that without fubaring up the rest of your car.
