I purchased my PP and Clutch from him, and he seems to be one of the most knowledgeable persons around, mile hi included, about the differences between the models.

I dig my Exedy, and it's between 12-14lbs. If it's 9...that might be bad. Mine's very driveable, but i also have a STI clutch and pressure plate with STI engine and trans mounts, so there's no slack in the drivetrain to worry about. Streetlight launches are no problem, and i've only stalled it 3-4 t...

How can a grate possibly "smooth" airflow? Removing it can only be beneficial to airflow. Having experienced many different fan configurations in the computer field, the quietest and best flowing ones have no restriction whatsoever due to the lack of pressure being built up around the grat...

Camber bolts are crap, trust me...

Find a good set of camber plates and you're golden. All you have to do is jack up the car, loosen the bolts and adjust it how you want.

More is acheived by the lighter weight of the pulleys than from the size, and underdriving has some minor consequences when related to the alternator output, etc... Impreza pulleys are the same, it's not the car, it's the engine that's important. Pretty much any EJ part fits any other EJ motor. Dave

Good to hear that you're getting somewhere with that.

SCC had an article about a year or so ago about OBD-II readers and noted then that even the latest WRX has a very slow refresh time, 8/sec if i recall correctly.

Keep us informed!

Dave

Definitely.

Here's the comparison:

The VR4 weighs in at 3261 in that test, but...well, read it

EastBay: I've never run a plate on my last three cars: 93 Turbo, 90 Sedan and 91 Storm (blue).

You usually don't get hassled if you're not worth noticing.

If you'd had the CARB sticker in the engine bay somewhere, he'd have to eat it.

Take it somewhere else next time...

A simpler but more expensive solution to this is to get WRX headers with a coating on the inside and outside, like Jet. It not only keeps the heat inside, but apparently makes the going smoother for the gasses, so their velocity increases. Same for the downpipe. As for the turbo, one of those baggie...

Utah is a LOT more lenient, even though they have dyno tests in SLC county (no problem, i'm not in SLC county and they don't have 4wd models yet), and that the person who's doing the test is a friend. Mine passed very well with NO cats and everything i have on right now, with 126k miles. Take care o...

You've really hit on an important point: Turbo owners are a big part of the 1G community. There are a lot of NA owners out there, but there isn't a lot they can do to get more HP with the old engines without bumping into costs that rival a turbo swap. If i had my way, i'd rather have a 220hp NA car ...

You should hear mine with no cats and a 3" dynomax muffler, it's heaven. I've had nothing but compliments on the sound, even a DSM owner wants his to sounds just like mine. It's too bad you have an auto, at about 3300rpms in any gear when coasting down there's this really great, loud rasp that ...

There's also some of my car with GT wheels, which i traded for the RS wheels:

Morgie: i had some sqealing too, but it was the two-part crank pulley's outer part sliding over the inner part. Problem solved with an UOR Underdrive pulley.

It's turned off for security, allowing people to insert HTML can cause all kinds of nasty things to happen. I know this crowd is extremely well behaved, but that's how it is.

Anything you have for the FAQ is much appreciated, and let me know if you need anything hosted.

I'm running a grounding kit, one of those Arospeed ones, and i can't say i really noticed a difference. Everyone pretty much agrees that the MSD is a good investment. I really, honestly noticed a difference immediately after installing it. I hit the rev limiter only once or twice before i installed ...

I've heard of this before, and i want to replace mine on the principle that it's ten years old now. With my MSD, lights and heater on, i can see the lights dim and get brighter at lights...

Good, clean electricity is as important to the combustion process as anything.

I'm still at a loss as to why there isn't a site with content specifically for the 2nd and 3rd generation of Legacies. I've had the only "real" English Legacy site for over 4 years!

Dave

Bigger is ALWAYS better on a turbo.

We don't have low end torque to start with, so the faster that turbo spools up the faster we get torque.

Dave

Well i replaced my aging Denso Iriciums with some NGKs last night, and the hesitation is now gone. The #1 plug was a little bit scorched on the porcealin, so it seems that cylinder might run a little hot, but all four plugs were still intact but a bit white. There is still a tiny bit of hesitation, ...

Mine leaks like crazy, but i took down the headliner (which i regret) and none of the tubes were leaking. If re-sealing doesn't work, then taking down the headliner to clear the tubes is the next step.
