Added a 3" cat and replaced my crushed muffler with a glass pak. Gotta pass oregon emissions soon and register my car here.

Ripped out the auto seat belt computer from my 92 autotragic so they stop trying and failing to move all the time. Ghetto manual belt conversion complete.

Tinted the corner lights amber, replaced a fog light bulb, painted the scoop, painted the thing that feeds the chimney, and fiddled with the mbc. Planning on clearing my passengers headlight then baking both tomorrow.

I've been putting a lot of miles on my little wagobeater but the brakes are overdue for repair so it was sidelined for my trip this weekend. I got my rebuilt alternator back from the shop in Kent (the rebuilder) and got it squared away and its back running and reliable once again. I drove about 600 milesish this weekend, averaged 23MPG hwy but pretty damn aggressive driving.

Took a new route north up the east side of the Cascades in Oregon.. My goodness, some awesome roads and scenery:

I believe the T shaped connectors are your "green" active diag connectors, used here, 3rd paragraph.

I believe the yellow connector is your Subaru Select Monitor / OBD1 diag connector; this actually fits a radio / head unit harness adapter and can be wired into various OBD1 diagnostic tools / circuits as detailed here

EDIT: Incidentally, I still have my B10 scan tool working on a dedicated old DOS laptop under my passenger seat. If anyone's interested to see one work, I can demo @ WCSS15.

Am planning to wire in a serial port to this setup so I can make use of a newer laptop and perhaps RevScan or EvoScan, too. Hopefully in time for the show :)

Those are blue, not green. That has something to do with the dashboard, just can't remember off hand. Yes the yellow plug is SSM, the little black plug is for diagnostics in the seat belt system. if you follow it up a couple inches you will come across a loose wire that is taped to it. You use that loose wire (plugging it into one of the slots in the plug) to read error codes from the seat belt computer.

Indeed, those are blue... didn't realize we had blue "T" connectors under there as well!

Now I'm curious what those are for. :)

The blue T connector should be connected. It's a ground related wire

Passed oregon DEQ emissions with my '94 ss and freshly installed catalytic converter. The readout stayed dead center in the green zone the entire test. Go Subaru!

However, I find now that because I have an oil drip from behind my timing cover on my 92 ss and the exhaust piping smokes that oil...it wont pass inspection.

I just got 21 day temp tags for them both, and now gotta scramble and try to replace my cam / crank seals and valve cover gaskets before the tag expires so I can go get it to pass DEQ with no smoking. Thats gonna suck in my tiny 1car garage but thats the plan!

Still gotta find a good subaru alternator to put in the 94 ss before the road trip up to WCSS15!

Borrowed a evoscan? cable from Mike.. Been doing a bit of logging at a few different boost levels trying to figure out a few things; Pretty interesting. I hit a strange fuel cut limiter on the revtronix chip at a certain set of parameters; Need to just keep reading and figure out what is normal, what isn't, limitations etc.

took my 95 LS wagon on a dump run, car weighs ~3128lb empty ish, without me and minimal gas. Wonder what the SS is at. Guessing ~3000

Reran alternator cabling nicely... 4gauge wire direct to battery, orig fusebox remainder wired to battery terminal. Cleaned all connections and replaced a twisted barely functional positive battery terminal. Going to start it up tomorrow and take measurements, then if all is well going to register this 94ss in Oregon!

Then its timing belt time for the 92ss....
