1990 FWD Sedan needs a swap...

I know I'm probably going to get smacked with the search stick on this, but I'll take a chance on it anyways. I have a 1990 Legacy sedan FWD, 5mt with a blown engine. I sold it many years back to a friend and he liked to hang out on the rev limiter a lot. I am currently in possession of a 1995 Legac...

I managed 130mph on some back roads between Augusta and Atlanta (GA). Maybe because my engine only has 60k on it, its willing to do so :D

IIRC the power window relay is located under the driver seat underneath the carpeting. I had to get to it once, not that hard but it helps to take the seat out.

happened to me once. Turned out I had the child safety switch pushed in the entire time. Of course that epiphany showed up after I had ripped the interior apart to get to the relay under the driver's seat.

i suppose I could try that but of course with full time school and a job time will be an issue. My father was thinking of putting in a thin washer on the pulley driveshaft just to bring the pulley forward a bit..any thoughts on this? Oh and thanks for the quick reply

im about 2mm from scrappin this car

I know I have posted about this problem before, but it still remains and no one that I know seems to be able to help...that's you all in your amazing knowledge of BC's come in. My Alt/Power Steering belt has the strange tendency to break rather often and I am at a loss on how to correct it. Thus far...

Well I guess somehow I missed your post when i was searching, sorry about that. Rolling is when you bend in the small lip around the fender well and can be done with a bat, heatgun, and some patience from what i understand. Thanks for the responses guys.

Yet another "does it fit" question, sorry guys

Well I have finally saved up enough dough to get some rims, and i have a few questions about fitment(yes I have searched quite a bit, but time is a factor here). I was looking into the Rota Sub-Zero's, 17x7.5 with a 225/45-17 tire. My 90 LS sedan will also soon have GR2's with either H&R's or so...

Well...

Mainly its the fact that my car has been painted black, the AC was juct converted, new clutch, and new CV's all around, plus there are only 53,000 miles on the actual car.
My car is a 1990 Legacy LS.

Yeah I thought it over more thoroughly and realised that even without an engine swap, I love my leggy too much to get rid of it. I will definitley have to look into purchasing an SS and just ripping out the engine seeing as my LS looks like I want it to and I would have to repaint the SS, etc etc. W...

Leaving the World of Legacies

Well I'm sorry to report that I think I'm going to have to leave the world of BC ownership. After finding out that an EJ22T swap is gonna cost me upwards of $5000 to complete :shock: , I've decided to stop pursuing Legacy performance. I think I'm going to move in to the world of the Nissan 240sx, un...

Well we have gone through 2 people learning to manual on it (including myself :wink: ) and I do enjoy a good launch every now and then. That and the woman we purchased it from rode the clutch rather constantly when she drove the car which wasn't very often.

How about lowest mileage on a BC/BF ?

Currently my BC is at just over 56,000 miles. Unfortunately, I've been through 2 clutches and countless Powersterring/Alternator belts. :(
