Why are you driving around in 2nd gear? Make sure you have 4 tires that are the same size, and pretty even tread. Also be sure the air pressure is the same. I was testing the gears at school. I'm in transmission class & not many instructors there know about Subaru transmissions. Air pressure is...

A chinese company owning Volvo? Awww s**t.

[quote="ericem"]Trying replacing the tranny fluid. Measure how much comes out to be safe. Should require 4qts or so.[/quote] Inspecting the tranny fluid was my first instinct & it's still pretty bright red. I'm just trying to figure out if I should be worried or not. I've read in a lot...

I've noticed that I get a TQ bind only in 2nd gear of my 97 Legacy L. Is this the switchover to 4wd lock? I'm assuming that it is since I can think of no other reason. If it is, how do I get ahold of it so that I can use that fucntion on drive (if that's even possible?)

Why buy an SUS to drop it? Just like the two-tone and the bumper? The bumper can be swapped to an L. Well, I had already bought an OB bumper for my L but I had to make small enhancements to it to make it fit. I also dislike 2 tone so I'd buy an SUS to drop it & modify it like most guys do to th...

I like the SUS & I'd definitely drop it to match my Volvo's height (it's pretty low). I've seen a few on Craigslist & I missed my chance to grab the one being sold in Hartford for $800. That one had no body damage/good engine/good transmission & was @ 230k miles. Now the only one up is a...

I've wanted my own personal car now & I know that something old needs to be sacrificed in order to gain something new. I've wanted another Subaru for a while & I'm a fan of the BD style Legacy body style so a GT or SUS is on my list of prey. Here is what will be sold for the purchase: My Vol...

Thanks for the welcome & I got my screen name from the series 'Dexter'. It's a really good show on Showtime.

[quote="94SS_Canada"]i like! not diggin the cannon tho, how does it sound with equal length plus that cannon?[/quote] Well, to be honest, it sounded 'unbalanced' & a bit too loud, even with the silencer on. it was stolen when I was on vacation in Vermont w/my wife. The catalytic conver...

"The correct spark plugs to use in Subaru engines are NGK V-Powers, part no. BKR6E11 for the EJ22" - I'm not going to sit here & say all of NGK is bad but I bought some plugs about 3 weeks ago & I started to notice a bit of power loss higher up in the rpm & I checked my vacuum ...
