Unfortunately, I need to liquidate my small collection of rally car related model kits. I have them up on eBay here: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZwrx22bp1rb5QQhtZ-1 Of particular interest to Legacy people are the Aoshima BG5 Legacy GT Touring Wagon (with LHD dashboard), Hasegawa 1992 Legacy RS s...

I have a '98 Outback and am just checking to see if anyone has a stock Legacy retractable rear cargo area cover they want to get rid of. I actually have an old one from my '93 Touring Wagon but it doesn't fit. If anyone wants to trade or buy it, let know know – it's in *perfect* condition. I need th...

Try Suby Specialties in Monrovia, which is right next to Pasadena. Steve & Don are super cool and are extremely knowledgable in the older Subarus. http://www.subyspecialties.com/ (626) 358-4235

Yeah, my Touring Wagon met an untimely end and I tried to fill the void with this. The grunt is intoxicating but I'm a Subaru guy at heart so I'm just going to live with my '00 RS for awhile.

I know it's not a Legacy but it is the car which replaced my much missed '93 Touring Wagon – it's even more of a sleeper wagon and I figure all of us here like interesting cars like this. Located in So. CA. Full details here: http://www.williwood.com/branden/volvo/ http://www.williwood.com/branden/v...

Just thought I'd follow up on this subject for any owners out there with the same symptoms: My idle finally got so bad that it wouldn't idle on it's own – which was ultimately a good thing! I took it to the shop & it turned out to be a vacuum leak as many theorized before. It was in the intake m...

Spectating difficulties? The only better spectating I've had is Rim of the World 2003 on a high speed night stage in the rain watching the headlights fly by us! :twisted: And yes, Teh Monster & I usually trek to Garden Spots like Palmdale, Laughlin, Hillsboro, Bangor, and many, many other ditche...

Ah, yes, we know him well The Legacy did very well during recce. It had a full coat of mud (the minor stuff in the pic above was after he cleaned it...) We spent about 45 minutes at the pressure washer trying to rinse the leftovers off our cars.

http://www.williwood.com/images/mosports/laughlin2004/8.jpg My friend and I found ourselves in lovely Laughlin, wanting to do some real spectating rather than the Super Special that would happen the next day in front of the hotel. So off we went towards the lovely town of Peach Springs where we ent...

So is this thing dead? Just wondering since we've been hanging without an update for awhile...

so, is there anyone going? i'm heading out there in the Touring Wag but i doubt i'll do the rally-x; i have some guerilla spectating to do...

Just thought i'd bump this before i head out to support Team Legacy! If anyone is heading out there, i'll be in my white '93 Touring Wagon with gold RS wheels.

Hi Brian! What's the latest? Hope everything is OK...

It's going to be a good race; and in the darkness!!! The closest thing to the real LeMans as I'll be able to afford in the near future. I will be there for the weekend so if any Legacy people are going we should meet up, even though I'll probably drive my RS to fully take advantage of the PCH route ...

Good to see you made it to Gorman, Chris! The cars looked good when you brought them to the South Coast Subaru meet awhile back and I'm glad you & Rob have sorted the Legacies out. I wasn't able to make it but I'll definitely have to check out the 'Subaru World Team' in a future rally.

THAWA: yup, you called it 1st! I still wish they could have figured out exactly what the problem with the valve body mod was though. For whatever reason it didn't want to play with the shift kit. Tristan: I don't know exaclty which shift kit the tranny shop used, but it was probably something like t...

Just an update: I finally got the problem sorted out. Apparently the valve body adjustments the trans shop made, in addition to the shift kit, were a little too much and caused the engine braking to disappear for some reason. So they got another stock valve body and just used the shift kit and it wo...

Thanks for the update Brian. Hopefully everything works out soon; my 4EAT is now rebuilt and ready for the I/C and more boost!

I checked all the connections and they seem fine. I'm going to ask about the TC lock-up and valve body. I might have them revert the valve body to stock settings to see if that's the cause. But that's a last resort since i REALLY like the shift quality right now! I've been paying very close attn. an...

I just got my '93 Legacy Touring wagon back from the transmission shop and noticed an odd change. Here's the rundown of the work done: • Rebuilt torque converter with approx. 400-500rpm higher stall speed • Rebuilt 4EAT with slightly modified valve body for firmer shifts throughout • Transmission co...

Brian, I PM'd you about possibly picking my IC up on my Summer '04 road trip to the NW. On my way back I will be around Monterey & San Jose for the big Historics wknd. & Laguna Seca

Sweet! I can't wait!

Thanks for the tip THAWA, but I was hoping for something in the SoCal area. Right now I'm looking into JMO since they're very close to me. I'll probably go with a stock rebuild with upgraded TC and maybe later I'll add a Transgo kit or valve body upgrade.

Well, it's almost a year later and I think I'm finally ready to rebuild my 4EAT. I need sporty daily driveability that will be able to handle a little extra power. I've pretty much decided to go with a complete rebuild with upgraded components (shift improver) like the Level10 or TransGo kits, but I...

I'm definitely still in for this; it's the final piece to my I/C puzzle.
Just let me know when ciper needs my info. & payment, etc.
