Has anyone on the list replaced their standard Legacy seats with newer Legacy seats (front) or used an after market seats?
How did it work out (fit, feel, etc.)
Thanks

You guys kill me.

Sounds like he's better off having it re-wired. I thought my wiring was bad but when I replaced the speakers and then the tuner unit, my wires where fine. I had bad components. I had the same issue, speaker cutting out. My problem revolved around a bad radio tuner (Subaru factory install).

Sure it is. I replaced my stock radio in less than 1 hour. Crutchfield even sends you diagrams of what needs to be removed. There aren't many screws to remove a radio faceplate. All radio components sit on a tray. Unplug the radio connects, unscrew tray and it all comes out. Little faith from those ...

All I did was find my car at www.Crutchfield.com, find the radio that fits. Then purchased Crutchfields wiring harness (match the colors from the new radio unit to the conversion wire harness; red to red, green to green, etc.). Plug the Subbie radio harness into the conversion harness (can't mess th...

Anyone have a lead on WRX seats (front and back or jusr front) in the New England area? I think they'll look nice in my 93.

I'm not closing my scoop.
Hey Bosco, the rest of the wagon is in CT. If your in da area, I can give you the address.

From personal experience, a little dirt never hurt a Subbie anyways

Thanks for the info all. When my restoration is complete I'll post the pics of my renewed Subbie.

Hi everyone. I have a question a hood swap I want to do. I found a hood that belongs to a 1993 Turbo Legacy sport wagon. I own a 1993 Legacy L sedan. Wold the hood from one, the wagon, fit my car? I just like the scooped hood.
Thanks.

I have the L version. No insulation here. Where can I find it?

Thanks Josh.

Ok. I found someone willing to sell me their WRX OEM front calipers and rotors. What is a reasonable price for this? (Lets assume they are in good shape, no scratches, etc.).
Thanks

Ok, scratch the rear break upgrade. Still looking for the fronts though.
Thanks

Ok. Since I have the 93 L model (FWD) then upgrading the rear breaks to WRX would be good too?
Thanks for all the info guys.
If you hear of someone selling their OEM WRX breaks, let me know.

Thanks for the link vrg3. quick question though: Why wouldn't I want to replace the rotors/calipers for the rear? Do the WRX calipers look the same as my 93 vintage (stock) calipers? (Do the WRX caliper's have Subaru stamped on the side?)
Thanks

How involved is the conversion for the front breaks? And where is a good place to find them?
Thanks vrg3.

Hey everyone. Thnaks for the help with the tire size question. Now I'd like to know of a site/store that can sell me a pair/set of cross-drilled rotors for a 93 Legacy L (FWD). I have a standard suspension, 16" tires.
Thanks

Knock on computer, my subbie hasn't left me stranded yet. 93 Legacy L w/ 160+

Can those pieces be re-painted? Replacement will cost less than 150.00 (no painting involved).

Cool. Thanks guys. I'll go ahead and run with what I have. Just out of curiosity, have you guys (and gals) had an problems with wheel bearings after 160,000 miles?
Thanks for your help everyone.

One last question then. I'm looking at this rim size 16X7 5-100 45S. Tire size 205/50R-16 91V . Will this combination work for 93 Legacy L Sedan?
Thanks.

So what I'm hearing is that 17" might not be a good idea. And that 16" would be better?

Thanks

Thanks for the info MK.
Can you E-mail off list @ georgeperez38@cox.net
Have a quick question and site to send you to see if these rims are the right ones.
Thanks

Hi everyone-
I have a 93 Legacy L (FWD) with the stock 14" rims. I want to upgrade. From experience, would 17" rims fit without any additional mods? And on the issue of ride, would there be a noticable ride difference between 17" tires to 16" tires?
Thanks
