  1. NGK LASER PLATINUM BADASS! period! Did a basic tune-up on my 2.2L Legacy today and threw some NGK's Laser's in there & a new fuel filter & oil change with AMSOIL SYNTHETIC, then took it for a spin.. SHE'S AWAKE & PISSED OFF! *note* not saying the spark plugs alone woke the car up.
  2. Sup all? I'm new to the SUBARU world, I come from a rich Honda backround.. I've been tuning them since 93'. This past month I bought a 30th anny. 99' Legacy L w/ the 2.2L. Not a bad lil' car. 142hp.. makes it a quick lane over taker on these iced over mountains in Alaska. It was a lil crappy sounding when I first got it... to tell the truth.. I was wondering WTF I got myself into... She sounded like crap when she was running.. then I learned about "Piston Slap" then kinda settled down about the "valve chatter" like sound which sounds like a Honda with a really bad valve problem. Then she started sputtering.. which I thought was weird becuz it only has 65k on it. It's a rarity to see a HONDA run this way... BUT then.. I fell in LOVE! WHY? Cuz I solved must of these problems myself & added a lil bit more pep to this thing. I changed the Spark plugs for some NGK Laser Platinums, Changed the oil out for some AMSOIL Synthetic 5w-30 w/ filter and threw a Bosch Fuel filter in her and the bitch woke up and wanted to play. I can only imagine what happens when I throw a IHE set-up in her. I've got plans for this thing.. but not really big ones.. Just basic Susp. upgrades, I.H.E. set-up like I said. I'm AMAZED, so far, with how us DIY'ers can do to this thing to bring it to life!
