  1. This is in my buddy's S-10, it doesnt hit anything either.
  2. Do you guys have a link to a place that sells those basic 6 luggers new. I know i can always go to a junk yard, but I was thinking of getting a new set. I tried tirerack a while back, but i could only find bling bling wheels.
  3. My experience... stock turbo, top mount saab 900 IC. All at the dragway. Ran 20 or so runs at around 15-17psi no problems. Ran 1 run at about 22psi - headgasket keep in mind this is only 1/4 mile runs. no title, etc. so no street info.
  4. hehehe My brother's turbo'd & intercooled '93. It ran a 15.1... now has a xt6 clutch about to go in. Anyways, I wouldnt expect any sane person to paint their car like this.
  5. I am in and out of a fleet of about 150 '05-'06 vehicles, and almost none of them turn the lights off with the key... obv my favorite feature is the lights off with the key. Its an homage to Subaru that I'd rather jump in my 292k mile legacy at the end of the day, as opposed to some new peice of garbage.
  6. @the garage the other day. I meant to get a good 'family photo' but oh well. Bro's '93 turbo loyale, my 86 XT turbo, junk Isuzu going to j/y, mom's outback, my red wagon, dad's legacy, dad's other legacy (for sale), customer 3000gt, customer SVX. [just out of frame customer '92 Supra turbo] My Bros GT and my wagon this easter morning.
  7. The wastegate is opened by boosted air in that vacuum hose you describe. That hose is tee'd off from the pressurized end of the intake, so when the turbo spools up, the pressure builds in that hose. That pressurized air then pushes a diaphragm (which is resisted by a spring). The diaphragm pushes that rod and opens the wastegate. anyone else, feel free to elaborate/correct me on that
  8. I was reading about it over at legacycentral. One of the members did a real good job of doing his sedan. Removed the trim pieces, sanded them down as best as possible. Laid on some primer, then light coats of black, then thick coats of black, and some clear coat. It looked good. I was going to do mine yesterday, but after peeking behind the inside trim and seeing those posts, I definately didnt have the patience to take all the inside trim out. It'll get done soon, and Ill take pics.
  9. Hey, I'm going to be repainting the zebra striped (black and chrome, you know what Im talking about fellow legacy owners) trim piece above the doors that runs the length of the wagon. I'm hoping you can tell my how to get that piece off without breaking it.
  10. The guy from that place got back to me. He said dont even try their gaskets with high boost without O-ringing the block, and I really dont want to have to send it out to the machine guys and have to spend more money. So it looks like I will be going the OE route. The thing is, this is going on my non-street drag car, so I'm going to be throwing some high boost at it. The current gasket is one run from disaster, but given the fact that the car sat for like 4 years then was seriously flogged, I cant really complain. I just dont want to be "that guy" and blow up on the track and cause an hour delay. I landed a free TD05-h turbo that i might try to fit in there. The poor stocker cant keep up on the top end, so it is time to go bigger. My bro has a T3 that he is going to rig up to his turbo loyale.
  11. I just placed an inquiry with Flatout about a set of copper headgaskets for the ea82t. I was just wondering if anyone on here has used them and has any stories to tell. Or any recommendations for a good high-power headgasket. Too bad we dont have an extra $10k sitting around for cometics, right Will.
  12. So the hole pattern on these is 140?? I am under the impression that you just pop 2 more holes and it'll fit on the 4 lug hubs. This would be perfect to do, becuase I have a pair of 15" tires that are coming off my Legacy tomorrow (i got some new g-force sports) that I could use if this is the case. They'd go on my fwd XT.
  13. '89 GL wagon (Graphite) '86 XT-t (Graphite/Silver 2tone) '86 XT-t (Silver) '93 Loyale Wag (Red) '88 RX sedan (Silver) '87 GL wagon (Brown)
  14. First off, I only need to say 2 letters "XT". I've thumped integras, mustangs, civics, etc on the track with a $250 project. Secondly, there used to be a rusted out brat down at my dad's shop when I was like 7, me and my bro used to sit in the jump seats becase they were cool.
