TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Yup, just cant keep the subaru's from hittin things. This was done yesterday on a road trip with a couple of the LegacyCentral.org guys. We took highway 128 from Fairfield to Vaccaville, and its a great road with windy S curves up and down the rolling hillside. I aproached a turn too fast, and as soon as the understeer set in, i locked all 4 and slid into the guardrail. Luckily there was a guardrail, cause the tree's sure wouldnt have been so kind. Damage to front and rear is apparent, doesnt cause any drivability problems, but definatly makes the car even more Uglier than it was before. Now im looking for a LS/LSi wagon to do a EJ22T swap -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_talk Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 ahh... that will buff right out. I've got a better plan for the car tho, how about you sell it to me real cheap... my RX sure could use a EJ22T:grin: Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet82 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 That's just about as good as you could hope for (if your going to hope for a accident). It could have been much worse. That will be easy to get rid of! Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderhound Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Understeer? Why didn't you go for power on oversteer...at least then you could have smashed the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 Oh, i got the rear too... it could have been FAR worse. Expecially the area we were in. If it werent for the guard rail, my car would be totalled, and i'd be in worse condition than i am. From what i hear, the swap is pretty straight forward for any 90-94 Subaru. a 96 will have the OBD2 and will give you more hassle. Gary, make me an offer I cant refuse, and she's yours. I just spent $1200 to have a centerforce clutch installed 4 months ago when i bought the car.... so if anyone takes it from me, i at least want my $1200 back. Its probably not worth it anymore, which is why Im looking for a Wagon. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowmastered87GL Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Somehow reminds me of what coulda happened at WCSS6 on the way to wal mart I agree that guard rails, dispite the damage they cause are good. I've gotten close but never hit one yet (knocking on desk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 aw brian, not again. maybe you shoulda put your brush guard on this one:rolleyes: -mike LOL glad I'm no t the only one that thought that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 Yes Mike, alot like that turn in Hood River. But that wall wouldnt have been as nice. I found a replacement Legacy today. Just gotta figure out if I can get my EJ22T into it. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Isn't there are Car Protective Angecy around somewhere? If so, this needs to be reported so that they can take this car away from it's abusive driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 You gonna try to transfer the manual seatbelts to the new legacy??? You would then REALLY have a one of a kind car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 Good idea Mike, now I will make it a point to do so. Corky, im sorry I didnt mean to. The car wasnt a gem to begin with. It will be sure to live on in a more beautiful body. As a matter of fact, I could use some information out of your FSM library if you wouldnt mind sharing. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
