  1. I don't get an at oil temp light. maybe the older ones don't have this issue? mine is a '91
  2. cool! let me know when you'll be in the area
  3. yeah I hope you don't mind but I saved all your pics to my shell account lol
  4. I need to put in a transcooler too... andyjo you should get on this one too
  5. where are you in southern ontario? I am not entirely familiar with the area, but I live an hour or so away, and definately remember this "verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry flat section" that you speak of and so this post isn't entirely off topic... my subaru gets horrible mileage because I can't help but drive it the way it was meant to be driven!!!
  6. down near binghamton eh? used to live there meself... check out http://nnyoffroad.com/wiki it's a wiki some friends and I have been working on a little
  7. sorry for thread hijack... but my point was that in manual mode the transmission won't shift out of 2nd (or 2nd or 3rd) and therefore is MUCH more controllable than an auto transmission in drive (therefore making it at least a little bit more like a manual transmission)..it also allows you to use the transmission to decellerate using the gears.. although I'm not sure that's good for your transmissoin
  8. damn. I need to do a brake job on the legacy soon.. got new pads for front.. new master cylinder and new rubber lines for all the way around... just gotta get some time
  9. read my reply to that thread... mods, maybe you wanna delete this?
  10. Quote: Originally Posted by subie94 is this mod for automatics only or can those that have 5spds do it too?
  11. but you don't even know if the group buy is still open or not? guess that answers my question right there........
  12. making it not shift until you want it to = not at all like a 5spd.....? I guess in the fact that there are not 5 gears and no clutch..
  13. yeah disorganization doesn't promote growth in a business...
  14. I use my manual mode all the time.... guess it's because I hate autos and secretly wish to be back in a 5spd?
  15. a friend here at work has a '92 legacy sedan with 4eat.. I've more or less got him talked into a lift with outback struts and a 4wd switch
  16. false alarm, it works fine... just went out and tested it in parking lot and got some bindage... ran out of gas though lol.. and while I was doing this, what my friend said to me while we were testing is coming back.. he said that when the switch was in one position (on) the wheels (front and back) were spinning at different speeds when we floored it on this icy dirt road we tested it on... when the switch was off they were spinning at the same rate
  17. did the group buy close on the 16th of december like 1st thread says?
  18. in one position when I start the car, the power light comes on.. the other position it does not... doesn't even seem to do anything if I flip it driving down the road (I know this isn't a good idea but I really couldn't tell if it was doing anything or not) if I can round up a soldering iron and an inverter I'll solder the wires on my break the switch I'm using is a lighted rocker switch from ratshack without the light hooked up.. it has "power" "ground" and "load" pins.. I wired one piece of the brown wire to "ground" and the other to "load" ... because if I hooked my multimeter up to the switch with the multimeter on it's open/short function, flipping the switch caused their to be short or open circuit between "load" and "ground" pins...
  19. as I said, my friend matt and I were both in a beer haze when we wired this up.. and I didn't solder the wires together, just twisted and heat-shrinked.. I was wondering if maybe there isn't a good connection? would it be in AWD if the wire was just cut? I think I'll spend my lunch break trying to figure this out
  20. that's what I did, but I don't see a noticeable difference. still haven't played with it since installation. I get done with work at 10est
  21. I got 12.9 ohm between pin 11 and 4 on 16pin connector.. pin 11 had brown wire coming from tranny. cut this wire, hooked wire to each cut section, wired to switch.. seemingly no difference. will look more into it after work I was kinda in a beerhaze sunday when we wired it up??
