[can i drive 20 miles on just a battery?]

The alt belt does power the power steering though.

['99 Outback rear hatch latch stuck,]

It's rust... for sure.

My '99 OBW did that, then it stopped opening at all. Pulled off the inside panel. De-rusted, and voila! It worked again.

[2000 Outback gear ratio code?]

What's the code?

[Bye bye RS]

I got it!! It's awesome, I just want to drive it.....A LOT!!! I'll get some more pics when I get a chance:banana:

 

COOL!! That's an nice addition to your collection.

I'll definitely come over and see it sometime when my life settles down a bit. Things have been a bit insane lately around here.

 

BTW, the guy who put the ej22 in the back of his forester was lobstah on MS.

does it run and move under it's own power at all?

[Bye bye RS]

Foresters are nice, I kinda want to sell my '99 OWB and get a forester.

I know someone who stuffed an ej25 in the back of a forester because he doesn't have a truck!

[Hatch or trunk popper!]

If you take off the back paneling of the hatch you'll see the mechanism. It is pretty simple. Mine froze up on my '99 obw a while ago and I had to take it all apart and make it work again. But you could easily put a cable, or electric actuator in there to have a button or lever to pop the hatch.

[Bye bye RS]

I will be picking up the Forester XT tomorrow afternoon!!

 

WOOHOO!!! Glad it all came together for you

I'll have to come drool on it

For a few hundred bucks you don't have much to loose.

They should clean up. You might have to sand them with high grit sand paper, and then buff them with plastic buffing compound. But with enough work they'll come back to life. But I'm not sure it is worth it... the lights absolutely SUCK even when they are nice and clear. Before this winter and all the darkness I'm considering going JDM projectors (EXPENSIVE), or making a light bar or something and going with hella 500's. Which would also look badass.

[The new (to me) Legacy]

if you pulled the bumper off you could probably push the dent out and get it pretty flat.

I have the exact same car, except silver. Really great car. Mine is a manual too. But I have a bit less miles, just turned over 100k the other day.

[speedometer quit and engine stalls at idle]

Check the speed cable that comes out of the transmission. I have seen the lead that comes from the transmission to the speed cable break. It costs something like $33 at a dealer.

 

Did yours bounce around when you were driving between 0 and 20mph, and then even out after that?

[Look what happened today!]

I had this exact same thing happen to me a while ago. Plug hit the inside of the hood so hard it left a bit of a scratch in the paint

Fortunately I had a spare plug, so I pulled the washer off, and threaded it in enough to get home.

[Hello!]

Hey guys! I have been lurking on this forum for almost a year now. Gleaning useful information, so I figured it was time to sign up

 

I live in Maine, and drive a 5MT 1996 subaru legacy L. Awesome car, it currently has 99,992 miles, and holding up awesome!

 

Here are some pics of my car. I need to get some updated pics.

 

When I first got it

 

This winter

 

some time after winter

 

hello engine

 

after a tow truck driver improperly unloaded it from the tow truck.... It cost him a pretty penny to fix... hehe

 

That's it for now!
