do you have automatic seatbelts?

No, just the normal ones with the height adjustment.

I'd probably choke myself with automatic ones

Are you a member of COPA?

Nope, previous owner. The sticker is between the window and the tint :(
I'll have to get that fixed.

What mods are you planning to start with? :)

Yep, that's almost right. When I posted them last I had commited to buy the car but I had to wait an agonizing week for the seller to return from a trip. It's ...

Well, I finally got it. I've been driving it for a week and I just installed the new rims I bought from tiretrends.com . I now see why you guys like these cars so much. It's like sitting in a cockpit, very comfortable.
I love the turbo whine. She's a little piggy on gas though, but I don't care, I ...

Nice work!!

I start work on mine in the spring.

Like you, it'll all be metal

Hmm..I'm not sure what I bought..quality wise..

I hope it will do

I got a 600W 12" PYLE Sub in a ported enclosure
A 600W 2 channel Bridgeable Pyramid amp for the sub
A 300W 4 channel Pyramid amp for the existing speakers.

total $300 CDN.

Now I just got to find the dynamat and a crossover.

OK, tonight I had my longest ride to date in the new car.
About a 30 minute drive with the stereo* pumpin out at 75% volume.
The door panels etc rattle...Would DynaMatting the door panels or the door fix this problem? (*Hey, I'm 34, I'm old school, "stereo" may not the current term, hell, "ICE" is ...

Well, this is great info

Thanks Yukonart for the brand suggestions, this is the stuff I need.I'm not a fan of Sony either. ( damned PITA faceplate )
You, too ciper, I didn't know an under seat sub existed.

Now, looking at these older Alpine subs I have ( 8", BTW ) seems only 1 of them is usable as ...

Just got my '93 turbo wagon a couple days ago. I now see why there are so many fans of these cars. I'm lovin' the turbo

OK now..I'm likin' but not lovin' my ICE setup I need more volume more bass..( don't we always)

What is this bumper/lower fascia? That is really nice. I read that it's not US available and that the very lower part of the lip is an add-on.
But that would really change the look of ...

If this group buy does actually start-up, I'm in.

If we still need German part #'s I can e-mail a couple people in Germany. It could take a bit to get a response but it can be done.

Gerald

that's what I thought ..thanks Ciper.

Considering I've only been back in Ontario for only 2 months (11 years in BC) I don't know where to get the best deal on these items.

So far I can only find Gabriel and Monroe .

Thanks for any help

To instantly improve my '93 turbo wagon's handling, I'll be changing the 188,000kms-old struts and springs.

I want to lower but not 1 and 3/4", maybe 3/4" to 1"

Should I go lowered spring or coil over?

And the struts..

semi-used GC8 Impreza RS struts ( seems to be abundantly available. They fit ...

I've got a set of the front to back rails that are basically unused. dunno if they'll fit a '93. I'll check tonight.

Once you do , let me know. let's make a deal

Thanks jason

Gerald

As the subject states, is it possible to put a BIG intecooler in the bumper?
Obviously routing issues are there, but has anyone done it?

Hmm ..custom exhaust manifold....I'm gonna like this car.

G

OK Josh

What are your wheels? Those are the ones I want

What size are they ? etc etc

Very clean work, BTW on the brace and brakes

Gerald

No I don't have a huge overpowering desire for WRX brakes. If the orignal setup is OK, I'll probalby just leave the orignal Turbo Brakes and maybe get some cryo rotors ( are those for real? not an automotive voodoo myth?) The rears are really ugly, I'd say over half of the rotor face has swelled up ...

I've posted this link as a reply in MISC..This looks like a better place for it.

Nice find! A rust-free Northern Subaru

Nearly..nearly!!..Actually it has a completely solid floor and rockers among other solid body parts..it was regularly rust proofed..minor stuff..I'll get to it before it gets out of control.

See what version knock sensor you have, if it's a grey connector ...

How difficult is it to install roof rails ( rack..whatever) on a '93 Turbo wagon? I don't see any provisions for them on mine.

And if anyone has a set in good shape they what to clear out of the garage

Let me know.

Gerald
--rackless--or is that wreckless?

Hello all

I get my '93 Legacy turbo wagon next week. I was looking for a '95 + but couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy this '93 as it has a very clean and nearly rust free body..good considering it's in ontario's snowbelt.

I need any advice you guys can throw my way, since my questions are ...

What is the suggested tire size for that rim.

I hate it when you miss a word...

G

Thanks for the info, this should make it easier.

A couple things..

mk750..any rubbing with that size rim and offset? What is the suggested size for that rim. I'm not looking to go massive or super low, maybe a 3/4" to 1" drop.

ciper..Assuming you mean wheels that fit WRXs, I assume they fit the ...

Perfect..thank you very much.

Now can someone archive the answer

Thanks again

Gerald

Hello all

I'm brand spankin' to this BBS. Here's the scoop

Bought my wife a 2001 Legacy Wagon. I like it so much I want one.
I found a '93 Legacy turbo Wagon in good shape for pretty cheap.
Since I was looking for a '95 and up, I have a wad of cash left.

I planned to immediately get new struts ...
