DIY: Rear badge overhaul

Hey guys...I'm posting up here in case anyone else gets bored like me and wants to freshen up their rear end (lol). Subaru wants $30 something for new rear badges. I thought, eff that. Bought some chrome mirror finish tape on ebay and used some black vinyl and came up with the following: https://lh6...

Re: gen 2 Rear crossmember (rear diff) swap to gen 1 leg?

The loyale and justy crossmember most definitely will not fit, don't bother even trying. I'm not sure an svx will either, but no hands on experience with one of those cars.

Re: gen 2 Rear crossmember (rear diff) swap to gen 1 leg?

Interesting... I've been doing a lot of digging for parts, numbers, and compatibility regarding part numbers using this website: http://subarupartsforyou.com/ From here, I've concluded the following. The 1990-1994 LEGACY / 1993 IMPREZA/JUSTY/LOYALE/SVX all yield part number: 20151AA001 The 1995 Lega...

Re: 92-94 Turbo Grill Badge Replacement?

Just heard from Greg and he said yeah he'd make the emblem overlays. If someone has an extra 92-94 emblem they can send me I'll get with Greg so he can make them. I have a 92-94 Turbo Grill on the way so I'd like to contribute. Would you like me to send you the non-turbo emblem or the turbo emblem?...

Re: gen 2 Rear crossmember (rear diff) swap to gen 1 leg?

Is the consensus here that a second generation Legacy rear crossmember will fit as long as the differential and diff cover match?

What about from the 94-01 Imprezas?

Re: WRX brakes worth it?

What of all is needed for the front WRX brakes besides calipers and pads? Are the WRX rotors needed? What about SS lines, would they be Legacy or WRX specific?

Re: 92-94 Turbo Grill Badge Replacement?

The stock emblem is curved slightly. You could likely put the vinyl sticker emblem over the stock emblem without much issue. However, putting one of the other Legacy emblems on top of the stock one may not fit as nicely. I ended up making a bracket for the B4 rabbit emblem I put on my legacy. http:...

Option of running a stub axle from the AWD half shaft in a AWD rear hub looks like the only way to make it work.
Just so I understand clearly, this means breaking apart the axle and using the stub/shaft together with the axle nut bolted on to keep the bearing moving?
