Thanks!

Dave

As it turns out, I don't seem to have the time to break these wheels down, weigh them, ship them, etc, so for the time being, they're pickup only. Following are the update links to the pics: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=783980018&size=o http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=78398013...

Hey Josh!

Busy. How've you been? Still in Houston, eh? I see you got a new car. I did too, I guess. Need to update my profile. Some day.

Good to hear from you!

Dave

YES

Sorry to not get back to you guys yet. It's been a crazy week. I haven't had a chance to reply, much less get the tires unmounted, find boxes, etc. This might take me a little while at this rate. Thanks for your patience.

Dave

I have a set of four OEM BBS-style spoked 16" OEM wheels from a 1998 Legacy GT for sale. http://tinyurl.com/2qqfeh The wheels were pulled from my wife's Legacy GT wagon after she applied a nail to the sidewall of one of them. I put an extra set of WRX wheels that I had on the car and eventually...

Doh! My bad. I didn't even think about leaving them on there. They were rusty as hell anyway. I told you that 4EAT was nice. I've never been a big autodog fan, but that one was definitely fun to drive. Always a nice break from my manuals. Point and shoot. Glad you like it.

Dave

Hahahaha... that's for the crappy driving lights. I was waiting for that question. The lights were so sucky and obnoxious that I had to find an appropriate switch for them :wink: And yeah, those belts are annoying. They've damn near beheaded me many times. That LF CV really did just recently start t...

SWEET! That makes me feel good. I need to go tell the wifey. Thanks for the update.

Btw, she drives nice, eh?

Thanks... and keep me posted.

Dave

Exactly. Who cares. Apparently some people here get really bent out of shape about the production numbers. Sorry guys, didn't mean to make you freak out. Hope we can move on. NOW SETTLE DOWN. Thanks. The important thing is the car is rad. I've owned (and sorta owned - don't ask) a bunch of semi-exot...

The total number I could believe based solely on the fact that I have seen maybe a total of five of them in person in the six or so years I've had mine. But, if this has been beaten to death on the sube boards, y'all should know more than I do. It's a rare car regardless. If I still owned the car, p...

OK, DOOD. It's still rare, nonetheless. I'm going to keep believing there were only 11 imported and propagating the myth if indeed that's what it is. So there.

Yeah, that's what happened in the first place :lol: The 2005 GT is great, but it kind of lacks character. I guess that comes with age though. I'll also miss owning a rare car like the '92. I'll have to find those production numbers, but if I remember right, they only imported 11 of them that year. I...

Yeah, I wanted to get the camera out yesterday, but I decided that it wasn't a moment I would want to relive, so I didn't. As a matter of fact, I think I need therapy at this point

Dave

Hey Chris, I can't wait to see the pics too. I know that'll make the wifey feel a little better. It was sad to see it go. Hopefully the Russian guy gets it there safe and sound. He was pretty cool and had a sweet rig, btw. Take care, Dave PS- I guess I need to update my profile signature. Damn. I'll...

Ok, the ignition relay tested ok. That thing is indeed a pain to get to. I pulled it and it tested ok and I also verified that power is getting to it and I even bypassed it with a couple paper clips. It virtually inaccessable location limited my testing to that. It was too difficult to determine if,...

So the relays pretty much remained in the same place over the years then? I remember going after the fuel pump relay on my '92 and almost dislocating my shoulder. Yeah, good design. I found a bunch of your posts with regards to these relays and put them in a document for future reference. Thanks, Dave

Perhaps it's just optimism, but I have a feeling that's exactly what the problem is. Do you know of an easy way to test this relay? I can probably figure it out one way or another. I guess I could start by feeling for a click when the ignition is turned on and off. Or if this is the same part that's...

So that could be the problem then? That crossed my mind before but fell into one of the black holes never to be seen again until just now. I'll try to find your post.

Thanks

So this ignition relay... is that before or after SBF2?

Thanks

OK, I'll check. So I'm assuming that the power source for all the FI components originates in the same place that the ECU's power originates? Like at that fuse box under the hood? And the power's not running 'through' the ECU, then to the various FI components? Just want to be sure what I'm troubles...

OK... I purchased a replacement ECU before I had time to check 15 & 16 for current. Then I finally made it back over there to check and found that there is no power getting to those pins. The grounds tested ok for continuity and pin 42 had 12v, but 15 & 16 registered only millivolt variation...

I guess the owner was told (I'm assuming by the dealer parts counter) that there are three variations of the ECU for '95. Do you think that's accurate or if it really matters?

Thanks

Ok, I don't know when I'll be able to get back over there to put my meter on it, but meanhwile, someone over at USMB might have an ECU for me so I may just go ahead and get that.

Thanks

Ok, on the ECU pinout re-check from the owner of the car:

wires 15 and 16 are yellow with a green stripe
red is the backup wire

Does that sound more like it?

Thanks
