There's a subie roaming around my town.. Yellow wagon, chopped like that, but it has a home-made convertible top thingy.... Yellow car with tan top... If the top is automatic, it'd be sweet, but I sort of doubt it... no one that smart around where I live.

Maybe.. there is a black metal thing mounted on the passenger side of the console in the 'foot bay' at about shin height... It is round and has a threaded hole in it... I didn't think those 2 things were related... maybe so, though...

Sound about right?

There is a strange black box underneath my driver seat. It is about 8" square and abou 1.5" thick. It has 2 RF cables (like cable television cables) going into it as well as a 25-pin connector. There is also a mounting bracket on the floor for it. I have no idea what it is. I searched the internet ...

I've found a site that sells them, I'm going to try to adjust it first before I spend $110 on this... I'm fairly certain the previous owner of the car beat the hell out of it, and it's a car from Pennsylvania I think, so the previous owner may have loosened it to a point that it doesnt work.

I've found info on adjusting it, but I'm not sure if what I need to do is adjust it or replace it. I ...

Oh, btw, it has the raised roof... I'll post pictures eventually...

Learned to drive stick this weekend, but having a little problem on hills... In the car i got, the hill holder does not work... I was wondering what the problem likely is, and if its an easy fix and how much it will cost.... The town i'm in has a lot of hills, and the hill holder would benefit me ...

R.I.P.....

1990 Legacy L, spray painted flat black (was already sprayed when i bought it)... Sorry for blur... it's a night time pic..

I bought some grabber green engine paint from duplicolor and laid down 2 green stripes 11" wide and 3" apart.... I did a damn good job if i do say so myself... No ...

Hey all, this is my first post...

I plan on getting more involved here so i figured i should introduce myself. I am from West Virginia and I attend WVU. 4 Months ago I gave my soul to Subaru, and didn't regret it at all.

I bought a 1990 Legacy L AWD (sedan) for $800.... It had some rust and ...
