Seemed smooth. Then you hit the gas again and a cloud of oil or was it just super rich?? Maybe change the PCV valve. It's been running incredibly rich since I removed the carb fuel filter. There isn't a hint of burning oil. I still need to change the O2 sensor, which will happen by the end of the w...

Gunmetal is always a fantastic color.

I can do that. When I look for sparks, I'm assuming they're a bad thing, correct? And if there are sparks I should replace the spark plug wires.

So true.

I'd roll with the Fit if you're just looking for a simple daily driver. Honda has a good road rep.

So I got around to the oh-so-necessary exhaust test:

Thanks. That's all the PO's fault, though. I had nothing to do with it... but I did have the balls to make the blind purchase. Here's the exhaust video:

Wait... noob question... is it opposite for turbocharged engines?

Hi. My roommate and I are stumped by this one. When I'm hard on the gas, the car sort of stutters in and out of power. It's not a consistent type of stutter... here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU1lEaa-gPI It's hard to pick out the stutter -- any time you hear the engine sound "cut...

They don't look anything like the ROH-Chicane:


Maybe the Ven'Turo:

I used Adobe Photoshop's "Save for Web" feature. It takes away all the information stored with the image, which doesn't need to be there for web viewing.

Here it is at below 15k:

I wonder what wheels those are....

yea i am used to shitty roads and crazy climates. I have lived here all my life. it just snowed 10 inches a couple days ago. I have a few grand saved and so few excuses to stay in maine. I am so tempted to fill up the car and hammer west Well... if you don't like the snow, you'd be okay in the PNW....

Thanks a lot ciper. I'll order one of these Bosch sensors and let everyone know how it goes when I have it installed.

There are also Bosch brand sensors for under $30 for later model Legacies....

There are plenty of O2 sensors on Ebay for under $30 shipped. The ones I have my eye on are Beck Arnley brand.

O2 Sensors that are available on Ebay...

I imagine the ebay solutions are also viable then?

Yeah... we don't want any east coasters over here.

Get the SR*S catback system. It's $250 shipped, and the videos on youtube make it sound beefy. Still, the question stands on whether or not the WRX kits will bolt onto a Legacy.

The PO of my car just sealed my sunroof. lol.

Does the ECU's temp sensor have anything to do with the air/fuel mixture?

Would it hurt anything other than my pocket to just change the O2 sensor straight out? Something leads me to believe that the PO hadn't changed it recently.

Okay so I deleted the carb fuel filter (haven't gotten around to the normal filter), but now the car smells like it's running rich. Should I clear the codes and check them again?
