if you dont mind getting a set of V-brakes, shimano makes some pretty nice ones that set adjust the pads to keep them parallel to the rim as they clamp in. very kool and they give plenty of stopping power. they are also lighter than discs. but if you want discs, i would recommend the avid mechanical...

wow, i never knew there were bikers here. thats good to know! i think i would have come here alot sooner had i known this. i was always in the bike forums before i could drive searching for information. and then i became a bike mechanic. haha. i like working on bikes alot more than cars. they are mu...

if you've taken off the interior door trim then the auto down can be a problem too. but if you havent, then you probably have no clue what im talking about. haha. but just for anyone whos wondering, when you take off the door trim, the metal is showing. and the switches are hanging. on the other doo...

oh yeah, thats the opening right next to the side view mirror. how would you suggest me to cap it off?

i wish i had read this too...

haha okay, i will try to get them up by the end of this week. i actually have it sitting in the driveway right now waiting to have its front differential fluid changed. and by the way, arent there any other legacys without anything inside?

haha as a response to josh, i've removed everything else in the car(almost) that doesnt make the car go. well, besides the seats and stuff. and to gary, i understand and have thought alot about that before removing it. but in the end, there wasnt much left to remove besides the blower. yeah, its a b...

wow i cant believe i just did that same thing. i must have read this post like 10 times. and laughed at the guy too. :shock: :( i thought, i dont even know where the differential dipstick is, so i wont be making that mistake for sure. and yeah. i didnt even know that the transmission fluid dipstick ...

oh okay. that makes more sense. thanks! the thing that keeps me from getting the rears is the fact that its a progressive going from 131-218. i dont know exactly how fast it makes that progression to 218 but i'd feel alot more comfortable if they just kept it at 218. but since the awd wagon and the ...

so what really happens is that stiffening the springs decreases grip on that end. but when you stiffen the springs on both front and back, you decrease the grip on both sides so that you can maintain the same oversteer/understeer characteristics. so in effect, you decrease grip on both ends? isnt th...

oh... didnt think of that. is that just because the rate of the front springs compared to the rear springs has changed? or what? cuz when people put on the full kit, wouldnt that also do some damage?

in my never ending quest to remove all unneccessary weight, i have taken out all the a/c components and now the blower motor. most of the other stuff that you take out of the car like sound insulation and seats and stuff dont really do much as far as your senses are concerned. but after i took out t...

any ideas of how it'll be? i was kinda worried that it would be steeply raked foward but the front looks a little high stock because of the whole fender thing, so it shouldnt be too bad right? it says it only lowers the front about an inch and the rear 1.5. soone inch should be okay right? and since...

about shorter stopping distances. wont a reduction in weight decrease the stopping distance as well as better tires?

its all gone now

cobb has some info on their site http://www.cobbtuning.com/info/?ID=3222 from Josh Tenny Flange w/Simple Pipe - The only advantages to this design are cost and simplicity. The pipe does not have to be formed and the flange is simple therefore reducing cost. The labor to weld the pipe to the flange i...

so what happened in the end? did you get a brand new STI?

the AC components are from a 94 NA legacy. pickup only. and you have to remove yourself.

one is for 10.2 inch rotors and the other is for 10.9 inch rotors.

for the fronts for the ebc yellowstuff i found two different part numbers that fit the 1st gen legacy. http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/details/QQSubaruQQLegacyQQEBCQQBrake_Pad_SetQQ1994QQE35DP4819R.html http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/details/QQSubaruQQLegacyQQEBCQQBrake_Pad_SetQQ19911997QQE35DP...

and if anyone would like to bring a msd ignition pack and some plugs and with ngk wires, that would be great. i wouldnt mind paying to have it all installed and stuff.

this includes the piping, the condensor, compressor, etc. well, everything minus the belt and the controls inside

okay thanks! sounds great! i'll prolly just get the gr-2's and save up for some whiteline wagon springs. or do you think there are a better set of springs for me? i've heard lotsa good about the whitelines.

i never really liked how they looked on legacys before but now that i have them, they actually dont look too bad when cleaned up a bit. i think it may have been because i've been running old black steelies for the longest time and the bright silver catches the light quite a bit better. as for weight...
