Re: Most common exhaust leaks???

I plan on finding it when I have enough daylight to do so, hopefully this weekend. I suspect it is proba...

Re: subi noob

Thanks John, I see you are up on Whidbey Is. I went to school up there when I was in the Navy back in 98/99. Beautiful scenery up there.

Re: subi noob

Well I found my exhaust leak, turns out its not as bad as I thought. As you can see in the pic below the gasket is missing between the two pipes and the bolts are too rusted to make any sort of adjustment. I could easily pry them apart with my screwdriver. Some small metallic dropplings also fell ou...

Re: subi noob

Thanks for the info about the binding. I was thinking that it was maybe caused by low differential fluid. Both the power steering fluid and front differential fluid are low. But then again both front cv axle boots are ripped wide open, so I am sure that is not helping. This thing needs more love tha...

Re: subi noob

Here are some other pictures of the car, some good, some bad.

subi noob

So I picked up my first subi yesterday. I have been a honda/acura guy for a good while and I still am. I needed a project car and something that my sister could drive dependably until her car is fixed. The car I picked up is a 90 Legacy AWD sedan (automatic). It has only 112k miles but it definately...
