I have a 91 legacy with clean paperwork (title in hand) that im getting rid of. it was supposed to be a project car, but funds ran low and i couldn't follow through with it. CAR HAS NO MOTOR/TRANS/REAR DIFF. I have the motor, but its been removed from the car. Following parts are available: LOCAL PI...

not to thread hijack, but i have a single din radio in my car w/ the din pocket, but after install, i've got a 1/2 din gap underneath- how do i cover this? is there a kit? im considering putting in a double din dvd rcvr w/ screen, so i'll still need to cover 1/2 din space... any ideas? thanks...

thanks vrg... i'll keep you guys posted after its done... when i had my wrx wagon and switched to v7 sti spc c, the ride dropped a tad, maybe 1/2 in the front and 1/4 in the rear. not very significant. i dont know how much itll drop it from a stock 91 wagon susp- im hoping for a 1in drop, as it sits...

ok guys this is what i've got: CAR: 91 Legacy L Wagon, 4wd, 5 spd Susp parts: V7 sti spec c Full takeoffs (fully assembled- struts/springs/tophats, even bolts) 92-94 rear top mounts from VRG3 (monroe brand) 92-94 rear top perches from blackbart I should be all set right? Ill need to dissassemble the...

ok got it... i think i get it... i need 92-94 rear perches no matter what... how much for your tough monroe mounts vrg3?

i understand, but ggb wagon sti susp is hard to come by... in your opinion, what's better, v7 sedan sti susp or gr2s/whitelines or agx/whitelines? are the gr2s close to sti level, or is that only the agx's? the agx's will be more expensive, and they're only for 92-94s... which means i gotta get new ...

I definitely think the v7 suspension is appropriate for a daily driver. I didn't bother trying without the washer, so I don't know if the washer really is necessary. But a grade 8 5/8" washer from my local hardware store fit perfectly. Its outer diameter almost exactly matched the indentation ...

i had v7 sedan struts/springs on my 02 wrx, and it was a perfectly fine daily driver. when you put it on your heavier 91 ss, it should ride a bit better, i think. i really want to put some sti takeoffs on my car cause it'll be cheaper than getting kyb agx's and whitelines...

on my 05 sti, the ride got BETTER with pinks... the oem springs are 200/185 i think, and the jdm pinks are 257/217. the car lost the bounciness and just feels firmer. of course, i could use more firmness on the track/autox, but not bad at all for the investment... so can i put 92-94 kyb agx's/whitel...

you are right. the shop had some issues, becuase this was their first pre-98 RS car that they were working on. anyways, my wagon is a 91, and i understand that changes were made for 92-94 cars (to the bottom spring perches, correct?), but i'm trying to resolve the problem on my 91... i'm considering...

yeah jeff @ chaste knows his stuff, but he's a little abrupt... wasnt as friendly as i'd like... while my car had already gone to garage tuning in laguna hills, ca, he offered to do a full wrx drivetrain swap (motor/trans/fuel tank etc) for $5000 incl labor... too bad i didnt have the cash... anyway...

while my shop was swapping in a 99 rs 2.5 motor, i had them attempt to install a wrx strut/spring combo on my 91 Legacy L 4wd Wagon. I had wrx sedan AND wagon springs, and told them to fit whatever works better, but the wagon springs probably would be better... anyhoo, they said they tried their bes...

ok great. that'll help a lot. he used an RS engine harness, i believe, because there were too many differences between the 91 harnesses and the 99 rs harness. 91's have ignitors, 99s dont etc. i called him with your point by point analysis, and he said "well, hey, if its like you say, it'll onl...

so what you're saying is: before swap: trans>cluster (mechanical cable), cluster w/ integrated VSS>stock 91 ecu (digital signal) now: vss>ecu... what it should be: trans>cluster (mech cable), cluster w/ integ VSS> 99 rs ecu(digital signal)- but i just need to connect RS'ecu's Vss input wire to the w...

i really like what you've done with your legacy, but i have a few questions: (I've got a 91 legacy L wagon, 4wd) 1. so you used the stock sti struts/springs & tophats, or did you reuse the stock tophats? 2. the lateral links- you change both, or just the rear ones? which car are the lateral link...

i understand about wiring the coolant and tach, but the speedo still wouldnt work, because it's used to a vss directly from the trans, now the rs ecu uses the vss, and sends an electrical signal to the cluster, but since the speedo is mechanical, it doesnt work- do i understand it correctly? he sugg...

vrg, my guy confirmed that yes, everything but the speedo would work, but he didn't want to take the cluster apart for the other things knowing that he'd have to do it again for the speedo. since the car has a RS ecu, the ecu uses the VSS, and sends an electrical signal to the cluster, but since the...

i'll give my guy the info you provided. maybe it'll help. how do you know so much about the wiring? what did you do to your car??

the swap is a 2.5 n/a (RS) motor from a 99 into my 91 legacy L wagon. it's using the 2.5 ecu from the RS, and the stock legacy transmission. he did use a 2.5 harness and wired that in to the ecu. if the tach is just one wire, i'll let the guy know. he took the job as something that would be relative...

I just got a 2.5 n/a swap into my 91 legacy l wagon. the car runs really well, but my shop had some issues with the gauges. the motor is from a 99 rs, so the ecu requires a vss to operate properly. the shop said that this caused him to not be able to hook up the speedometer/odometer. it also doesnt ...
