You will be amazed at the simplicity and durability of these cars. You have many years of "winter beatings" left in this car. Welcome to the site. Its a treasure trove of good technical information.

I like the subie better!
fwd ftl.
I would never put money into a FWD car, RWD maybe.
Never understood the honda thing but to each his own.
Props to the new subie.

SUBYLUV871 · **Posted:** Wed Dec 07, 2011 10:05 pm

on my air box i took out the filter and used a 4 inch hole drill to get some better air flow from the bottom of the box. big difference on sound when i floor it. its not that hoaky, it works and you cant even see it.

StreetLegacy93 · **Posted:** Wed Dec 07, 2011 10:07 pm

Do you have any youtube audio on it??

SUBYLUV871 · **Posted:** Wed Dec 07, 2011 10:11 pm

this is from inside the car. excuse the language. my buddy forgot to stop recording so its mostly sound from inside. http://s1088.photobucket.com/albums/i328/KRASHEL871/?action=view&current=86a5cdab.mp4

That's the input shaft bearing. Just in case you were thinking it's the throw out bearing.

SUBYLUV871 · **Posted:** Fri Dec 16, 2011 5:50 pm

Ah thanks. Now I know. I learn Somthin new everyday.

kimokalihi · **Posted:** Fri Dec 16, 2011 11:43 pm

Throw out bearing would make noise with the clutch pedal in because that's when it's engaged.

SUBYLUV871 · **Posted:** Sat Dec 17, 2011 1:40 am

so have you let this thing shine in the snow yet?

StreetLegacy93 · **Posted:** Sat Dec 17, 2011 2:26 am

Good luck with your subi! I totally fell in love when I bought my 90 legacy L and had to go find me one of those fancy turbo rigs I heard so much about. ... Now its almost like i'm married.
