found a 1991 SS 5-speed on Craigslist... Asheville, NC

The only part I wasn't crazy about is the flat black. Hope it finds a good home.

Okay this is what I made: http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c64/fuzzysquirrelboy/wiringharness.jpg Now that i have reread your posts, it looks like I have one more wire than necessary. I am plugging the "harness" end into BATTERY, then one of the single connectors to IGNITION, then another...

Yeah I didn't bother with trying to have a key made. I will try jumping the ignition as described above, and get back to you guys.

Ahhhhhhhhh okay I totally understand what you are saying now. At first I thought you meant to remove the wires from the connectors... anyways, I get it now. That doesn't sound too hard. If I get there early (an hour before the auction) and go to this car right away, I may be able to jump it without ...

Yeah I really wish i could get a key cut at the dealership before the auction. I know there are good reasons to not cut the key for me, but at least this way the new owner (whether it's me or someone else) could have a key for the car when they buy it. I wonder if i could have the GM of the tow yard...

I think I misread your post... when you say "bump the starter" are you talking about powering it directly, or by reconnecting the ignition circuit as you describe? If I can do this without needing an external power supply, it will be more feasible. But even still, I don't really feel comfo...

Sorry you went to all that trouble with the wiring diagram, I can't bring my own battery :( I did bring a backpack full of tools once and they told me not to do that anymore. They don't allow jumpboxes either. I figured that if I could get the steering column off and start it with a screwdriver, the...

starting a 1995 Impreza without a key?

Okay so I know how this question may seem on the surface, but I have a legitimate reason behind it. If the mods see fit, I understand if this gets locked. I figure the fact that I have a post count already will indicate I am not trying anything shady. I am going to an auction on Monday to look at a ...

Did the facelift coincide with the airbag/steering wheel upgrade? I hate that ugly non-airbag wheel. It looks like it would be comfortable for the 8-and-4 hand position though.

This looks like an opportune time to re-start the age old augment… The pre-face rear is much better looking that the post-face. PRE-FACE RULES :P Gary Not to reopen the alleged can of worms... but I don't know what pre-face or post-face means. Did Subaru so some kind of appearance facelift in the m...

My point is that on all these cars, the lights are the full width of the tail. And the red portion makes up roughly 2/3rds of the lens height, the rest is either white or orange.

the Legend booty looks like an old maxima or Legend

I noticed this this other day, the Legacy Sedan tail lamps look like old Acura Legend tails). The Legend definitely looks more dated, but it's the same overall design. I have shown the 87-88 Legend, followed by the 89-90 Legend. Then I also noticed that the Legend also looks kinda like the early 90'...

Yeah I agree that one was a bit more over-the-top than the first video. But the risky stuff like going to the edge of the dock really did it for me.

And speaking of Jesus... that guy at the very end of the video reminded me of this Jesus

I took it for a spin. Regardless of the amount of power, it's one of the most stable cars in the game. Even more so than the WRX. I wonder if it's the longer wheelbase.

Well, that didn't take long. I just added a body kit, wheels, canards (see close up), and different corner lamps. I can't figure out how to paint the car a custom color :( But I know it can be done, I have done it before. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c64/fuzzysquirrelboy/PICT2834.jpg http://i25...

Legacy SS/TW in a video game

I found this the other day... our beloved turbo Legacy is in the video game Tokyo Extreme Racer Drift 2 for Playstation2. As usual, the specs appear to be for the JDM models. i am impressed that they included the wagon. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c64/fuzzysquirrelboy/PICT2831.jpg http://i25.p...

Head Gasket -- Phase I engines, or just Phase II?

As i am continuing to learn about the Legacy, I am intrigued by the 1997-99 GT, particularly with the avilable 5-speed. But i have read some things about the head gasket problems that these engines are known for. http://www.subaruheadgasket.com/vehicleyear.htm If I understand it correctly, a 1997-19...

random cars you always wanted

Okay so I am really A.D.D. when it comes to cars. I bounce all over the place wanting this car, then that one, then a few more, then back to one of the early ones. I rarely act on these desires, but usually I at least find out a crap-ton about the car so that I feel informed enough about them if i e...
