Re: Buzzing clicking from behind cluster when starting

Not for sure, but the starter relay is under the dash and it sort of sounds like that could be the issue.

Re: ABS Fault Code 16

The plug that goes in to car harness is almost the same, the ears to line the plug up are on the wrong side. I was going to put my old ends on it but it was easier to file the ears off and it plugged right in. I replaced one because the wire was broke off and just dangling, but the other side I had ...

Re: Whiteline 22mm FRONT swaybar fitment issue

I pulled my el header to install mine. When I installed my sisters fsb, just a factory one, I believe I dropped her exhaust also.

Re: ABS Fault Code 16

I fought with mine for years and finally fixed it when I replaced both of my rusted in speed sensors with second gen speed sensors. Both my 90 and 92 have abs and was able to swap parts back and forth until I found the issue. I don't know why the computer points to the G-sensor. Also used second gen...

Re: Bad cat

No cats on my car but it does smell like my Cuda, raw fuel. Still getting 28 mpg with less back pressure and I like the extra rumble that the el headers and flow master produce.

Re: How is the quality of your Delta Cams

My 2.2 cams were flawless, but when they regrind those they don't weld them to make the new profile , they just take it off the base circle on 2.2 cams. But they have no choice on the 2.5d cams and need to be welded to achieve the higher lift and duration, mainly due to not having rockers and the ca...

Re: 4.44 and rear diff swap

The pinion yoke can be swapped off your old diff and toqued to 150 lbs (I believe) and that's good. The axels you need are from 95-99 legacy outback to match up with our hubs and plugs in to the newer diff.

You can swap the rear pieces off the two drivelines if you can't find the right yoke for the diff. The u joints are replaceable the part# 430-10 but needs to be done at a driveline shop. I have one in my car and it's greasable, I hope that helps you.

Re: Magnet on your oil pan

Most bearings are a tri metal (steel, copper, and nickel) if you get down to the steel you have problems, and shows up real quick on a magnet. With metal to metal contact you will get wear and that produces small partials of metal that floats around and hopefully the filter catches it if it's big en...

Re: Is this for sure a bad headgasket?

You have water in the spark plug holes, just blow them out with compressed air I'm sure all will be good. At start up you have some smoke and clears up, is valve seals are not sealing properly, but I wouldn't worry about that.

I have ss brakes on my fronts and H6 in the rears on my 90 abs wagon and feels pretty good. I upgraded because of the heavy loads I have, It's a delivery vehicle that sees around 500-800 lbs daily. Empty is very predictable and the abs works great, it stops quicker than my wife's 92 wagon on ice.
