  1. Let me guess you have a 5 MT? I used to drive only auto Subaru's and I never noticed this problem.. but my last two have been manuals and yes you can feel when the AC kicks in.. it's really annoying in low speed traffic to have it kick in and the car will jerk because of it. I always thought they were crazy at NASIOC saying they could feel the AC kick in at highway speed.. but it's true.
  2. yeah to the person who said not to peicemeal it.. awhile back when I did mine last year in Aug I saved and saved until I had all my parts took a picture of it all on the floor and started working on it for the vacation.. I did run out of money to get the head resurafaced so I planned everything so I would be done with the engine related stuff right on Friday, dropped the heads off to get resurfaced and that was that.. followed the service manual 100% marked my headbolts with paint so I would get the 90 degrees or however it said to tighten (can't remember) aven't had any problems.. I was in stop and go traffic 3 days ago and it was really humid and hot out and that was the first time I saw my temp climb I took out torque app and the temp went to I think 206 F I set my alarm to go off at 210F but as soon as I started moving all was fine.
  3. That's the part I don't like.. I would prefer if it was in the stock location.
  4. This reminds me I gotta take my tranny case to the scrap I doubt I will get much for it after I clean it off.
  5. I have a question the Tahoe mount was that a glass mount? I wonder how it would fit on a 2nd gen Legacy?
  6. All 99 tahoes had this mirror stock? I might have to go searching for it, i'm going to guess the mirror is on something that's switched on when the car is on, it's been awhile since I checked on what to use but seems easy but what about the temp sensor? while I don't flip my mirror that often I hate when a car with one headlight aimed up high gets behind you.. I kinda think they do that on purpose.
  7. I have a case full of hnbr orings could I use this on the pump? Mine has been leaking for awhile
  8. What year is your car? I've always wanted a mirror like that but a little later down the road.
  9. It seems like a nice car and nice to hear from a owner that has some experience. I have a question about the LL Bean version.. I remember I think it was '04 or 05 that Subaru said it was ending the partnership with LL Bean but did they sign back up?
  10. I worked for a Subaru dealer for a short time (long story) we had 4 male adults in I swore it felt like my old 1.8L I never been in the car on the highway but it was unimpressive feeling for the first time.. I would hate to see how it would be with 300 lb of audio equipment with 3 passengers.
  11. I had mine blow up ended up falling between the gears (bearings) and locking the tranny up sometimes.
  12. Have to remove the rear subframe to change the rear diff? I don't think I've heard that before.
  13. I think trying to put it on backwards the clutch center part strikes the flywheel or something like that.. I tried one day on purpose just to see.
  14. Oh that.. that would be cool but I thought it would be a little over the top but the thing is it's very shallow in that area in both the JDM and US market legacies. And trying to get the light to spread in that area is hard unless you can find a way to mount the LED's sideways.
  15. that's not bad at all sometimes I think it's better to drive with the AC instead of driving with the window open
  16. I just made it with that board length.. I never measured it to check for size, I'd be too scared to run around without any tail lights.
  17. Retro fitted LED's in my rear high mount brake light Will put a fresnel lens on it Tuesday to diffuse it more
  18. My 97 OBW has a snap connections and the wires that go to the lights are Green and Black.. My guess would be Green would be positive right?
  19. Doing my LEd retrofit with red-orange superflux LED's only half-way done
  20. I'm going to do the Spar urethane on my headlights big huge discussion on it (just search on google, holds up way better then those headlight restore kits or polish. And since my car sits facing the sun like 4-5 hours a day this is good for me.. I already have the stuff sitting on my table I'm just not going to do that until the lights get sealed up.
  21. yeah I thought it was just me.. I mean my AWD worked still with the old transmission but this one just reacts quicker
