  1. Can anyone help me figure out how to implement the use of the circuit breaker Fairtax mentions A synopsis of exactly how I would wire this from beginning to end would be very helpful....thanks! (PS...if we these "circuit breakers" are in the box under to hood behind battery,,,, I do have a parts car to steal one from)
  2. Hey Guys and girls I have a 2001 and 2002 OB wagons as parts cars...non turbo 2.5's What will these engines fit into? how about 2000-2004 imprezas? what else? thanks
  3. My cousin called me...he works at a dealership (not Subaru) They gave a kid $800 trade in for his 05 legacy GT Young kid so he must have blown something....a rod...? the turbo? I don't know So...I just got some pics...looks pretty clean--waiting to hear the mileage...automatic I can have it for $800 supposedly has a new exhaust system The caveat? Its 2 hours away Would have to get my AAA towing club to bring it to me I really wish it was a plain 2.5 engine though.....getting one if needed would be a lot easier Any thoughts guys? It really looks sweet
  4. sorry I confused anyone I thought the 95 had no egr pipe and the 96 did...(both automatics)...am I wrong? If they both have it then I am golden I want to save the 96 engine in case I ever need to put in the 95 (which I am considering buying...its 1.5 hours away though)
  5. thanks guys The other question is that this new seat is power and the old is not Could I just run power from somewhere to the hot terminal of the connector under the seat and run a wire from the other terminal to a screw I put into the car body? should work right I was really hoping the heated seat worked but I seemed to get nothing before I removed the seat
  6. Fairtax I understand except for one thing if the 95 has the metal pipe running from the intake to the head......and I use the 95 intake manifold and the 96 engine...will there be a hole in the 96 head for the pipe to attach to? Sorry if I missed something tx
  7. I have a lead on craigslist for a 95 Legacy L It's a girl and its 1:45 mins away so I cant really ask this ... Did they ONLY make the 2.2L that year? That's all I want...I don't want the 2.5 I have a 96 legacy sedan(L) with the 2.2 From what I recall, the 95 did not?? have the egr pipe and the 96 does?? Is it possible if I ever needed to ...to drop the 96 into the 95 I DO NEED it to pass NY state emissions thanks guys
  8. Jmoss...is this the thread you were talking about? www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/47869-lifting-a-newer-Subaru/ that's all I found so far if there is a different one, can you link me to it? thanks
  9. how about this....would the 2000 and 2002 engines I have fit into say the 96-99 legacys and oubacks?
  10. Thanks bratman I want to put some 15" Subaru rims I have.....so you think that will be fine? Would I use whatever size 15" tire that is recommended on the outback....the 205/70-15? no fit issues?
  11. This is my son's car. I CAN see some wetness under the tank....not sure yet if it is the tank seam and need to replace it or where it is coming from What I can't figure out is why it should smell INSIDE the car Do you guys have any insight on this? Could there be an inside issue as well? where? thanks
  12. From what I remember....to get this car higher off the ground I could use the struts and springs out of a 98-2002 forester Can a few of you experienced guys confirm? I can't stand how low this car is.....and it's worth keeping with 140k and a beautiful body Would I need to have the frt end aligned again if I do the front? Any special tools or tricks involved? thanks very much
  13. Hey men... I have not been here for awhile Would the front seats of a 2001 forester bolt into a 95 plain legacy sedan? That car and seats are way too low Just a shot in the dark...I kinda doubt it but.....
  14. My sons 03 impreza has a tank leak...looks to be the seam that is around the mid point of the tank What's involved with changing (nasty job...) Used? new? costs for tank? I'm kinda surprised that he has a fairly significant gas odor on the interior with a small puddle under the car....strange
  15. I have a 2000 and 2002 outback wagons with running motors in them. I saw a 2006 impreza rs for sale needing an engine Would these fit? thanks guys
  16. I have a 2000 and 2002 outback wagons with running motors in them I saw a 2006 impreza rs for sale needing an engine Would these fit? thanks guys

  18. I have not driven this all winter....Has had chk eng light on for a long time and I am positive it was a code 34 which is the egr valve or circuit I hooked up the battery this weekend as I want to sell it (has 54,000 original miles and nice shape) I was getting 7 flashes with a pause and the same 7 flashes over and over again There is nothing that shows 7 flashes Can someone remind me of what connectors have to be hooked...it is under the dash up behind the ecm right>? (black?) Can the code be cleared without fixing it? to see how soon it may come back? I am thinking no If I get a new egr solenoid....how do I clear the codes then? More importantly....can this egr solenoid cause any rough running condition?? It runs good but not 100% right...mild stumble of the engine Note that I have the egr valve off and a metal plate sealing off the opening --used RTV to seal it....and hose is capped off thanks
  19. Hey men Whats the procedure for checking for a code? It's been a long time I recall a connector under the dash...that's all I think my problem is going to be and ecr solenoid (checked it 2 years ago and want to try and fix it before I sell it) this baby has 54,000 original miles,,,,,interior is like new...body nice
  20. so ...for my 95 legacy.....use 98-02 forester struts...and will this allow me to upgrade to 15" wheels?...maybe 205 or 215/70/15? I don't want to buy wheel spacers...they aint cheap I really would love new struts and springs but that a lot of bucks How much are cheap springs And can someone tell me where Nipper is???
  21. ok guys...been trying to follow this but What is "SG" and "SF" mean??? FOr my 95 legacy...which seems to be a little lower in the back (not level when looking from the side).....I would like the most lift in front and in back that's possible Does this mean 98-00 forester fronts and 03-08 foresters in rear? not sure if I got it right I want to put 15" wheels on it when done thanks
  22. I had some comments recently about using forester or OB struts to raise this car....I despise it being so low Someone said strut assy's from 96-99 OB would fit....and 98-2002 foresters someone also said that 03 to 08 foresters would fit too here is what I found from an online dealer parts site the 96-98 OB calls for Subaru SOA20311AC200 the 99 OB ........a20311AC220 Forester calls for 98-2000 SOA 20310FC020 2001-02 20310FC040 03-05 20310SA009L OR....20310SA0419L....depending on V.I.N. 2006 20310SA1009L 2007-08 20310SA189L Lots of different PNs if they will all fit my 95 legacy...? I want to look for a decent set (front and back) but why are there so many PN's if they are all interchangeable with my plain legacy?? I don't want to get parts that don't fit thanks PS.....is Nipper still around???
  23. 95 legacy started car...stepped on brake and auto shift lever was locked in park I remembered that there is usually an access hole with an override button Popped the face plate and shoved a pencil in and I was on my way whats this switch called? its not the neutral safety switch..... how much are these? is there an aftermarket? but here's a weird thing......as soon as I got going, I noticed that neither directional was working theres no relationship with the above problem right? Is there one of those round can-like relays under the dash for the directional? How do I find it and whats it called? thanks gents
  24. ok...well I'm a little confused How about this? Since the fuse is now in...and I have FWD with NO TB...this would be my standard mode that I want to be in Now...in the winter, during a storm...I want to flip a switch to go to AWD Pulling the fuse would accomplish it but I don't want to open the hood Couldn't I just cut both wires going to the firewall fuse holder....run both to the dash to a switch.. in the open mode of the switch I have AWD with TB....who cares if its slippery outside... In the closed mode I have FWD with TB Isn't this way easier?
  25. Thanks Gary When you said "locked" I was thinking of the old pickups and actually locking the differentials I really like the switch whats involved?
