xt6 knuckles and I'm still figuring it out. Coilovers? not sure yet. Having a hard time finding a inner wheel axel seal that fits properly. I'm thinking about machining the knuckle to fit the seals that I have that are too big. At least then I will have the proper seals part # 225678 timmken. I read that this seal would work but no. I am going to try some more at the auto store tomorrow. part #710108 I hope this one fits. If not I will most likely machine the hubs or keep looking for a inner seal that will work. The knuckles need to be ground down to fit impreza struts or legacy struts. The xt6 knuckles are a little bit bigger. These are the headaches I have encountered.

I purchaced this seal and it did not fit into the er knuckle it was too big. Anyone have a different part # for this conversion? ER or xt6 knuckle and ej Impreza fwd axel. Unless I have the knuckles machined to the o.d. of the 225678 seal? Any other suggestions?

Here is my project 89 gl 90 legacy 2.2 ej Legacy lsi front seats boss 2in lift XT6 suspention and hubs Impreza Suspention Outback wheels

Drivers side or passenger side? I could not find anything undone. Who knows where this guy disconnected the belt... brrrrrrrrr

sjr adapter and flywheel are on their way! Most all the prts needed for five lug swap! thanks upap aroura, 320 bones!!!!

thanks, I will hopefully get her seatbelts back to her. Thanks for you replies and help. cheers and beers!

Where would one do this the easy way? I looked at the power source to the motor, nothing. A mechanic had done this for the po after he claimed it strangled him. Got the car for a friend and now we are trying to track down a fuse or connecter that has been un-done. So far nothing. I have a whole assembly but in fear of it not working on the install I wanted to track down a fuse first. Any suggestion are welcome thanks! Dave

everytime I go around a off/on ramp at any speed this same thing happens. Only right hand turns. But after the cloverleaf I get the SPY HUNTER effect! Don't follow too close. ha! Everybody behind me gets it good! But after a few seconds it goes away and the car drives normal with no smoke. The first time I noticed this I was off road as well. I thought it was a head gasket at first now I don't even bat an eye. Just make sure there is oil in her. cheers

would you have to extend the steering linkage with the outback spacers?

yup, i have both. I was wondering which is better?

I just got some new struts and springs handed to me. Was wondering if the rx turbo struts are any stiffer or taller? Any differences at all? cheers!

from what I have herd is that you need a bit of fabrication to make it work. If you have the seats already, take them both out of the car and switch the mounting hardware. I am in the process of doing this(90 legacy seats) and will let you know if I run into any problems. I am not familiar with sti but I've herd they are all kinda similar, but not a direct swap. cheers! good luck

Took the legacy to my mechanic to do a overall systems check. It drove there flawlessly and with the a/c cranked the whole way! Too bad it's r12 still. Even if it's colder I want to try and keep the a/c if possible. So I might just convert it over to 134 and try to salvage all the pieces. I was taking a look at the seats as well. Looks like it will be easy enough to swap. cheers!

Ha! I like that! All the 5 spd 4wds were haggard or had like 200,000 plus miles on them. Not to mention fwd is cheaper! I got some good doner seats and a great donor motor(I hope). If anyone has a link to an article about the seats let me know.

88 gl 264,000 All original. A/c still kicks hard with no power to spare Orig enigine and transmission.

Lifted 2in' Luk Clutch, Valve cover gaskets, Rear main seal. ' Went Wheelin still truckin' ac still cranks too! I have put over 13,000 miles on her since August of last year. And I thought when you buy a 1000 dollar car it won't last that long. "Fixed exaust leak"

saweet! Thanks!

What else can break when the timing belts go on these? Are they an interference motor? I have found a good enough one but it died and the owner thinks its the timing but has no money to fix it. It's a 88 gl 5spd spfi. I was thinking of limping it to a garage and swapping it with a 2.2 for some power. But I can't tow it. so the owner seems to think it should fire right up after a year if I can fix the timing belt. Any help would be great! thanks

In san diego, I have a slipping clutch, but thats with the car completely loaded with gear fully. How long can you drive on a slipping clutch? (empty car) I need to get to new mexico where I have the means to fix this myself.Need a clutch put in an 88 gl Or a good mechanic in the san diego area. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great! The car has a bit too much rust to keep putting money into it. I have found a better one to upgrade, but for now I need to get back to colorado and new mexico.
