Not sure. Guy I bought suspension from had a phase 2 block (2.5) with phase 1 heads (also 2.5) running in his car that came originally with a phase 1 motor. Don't know about your situation, but since you're keeping the heads/intake manifold, electronics the same as what went with the car, I'm sure s...

Opinions and advice about RS & WRX seats

Hi fellas, I got a good deal on front 2000 RS seats. They are nice and supportive. A while later, I got a great deal on 2002 WRX seats - same price as I paid for the RS ones. I have a long torso, even though I'm only 5'11" I drove with the SS drivers seat at the lowest level. I haven't actually...

I like the lights on the Evo X on their main page. It fits the overall style of the car. I wonder if they could make a projector set for our cars that follow the 80's/early 90's form without them looking too busy?

I read on the Forester forums that those wheels aren't very sturdy. But I guess cheaper to replace than alloys right?

Triple the gas milage? 78mpg! I'd like to drive that kind of car regardless of how much power it has. Shit I drive a 3 cylinder now that's gutless and only gets 38mpg. I'm sorry. My old Corolla got 35-38 mixed, and somehow my dad got 45mpg. Hell no matter how I beat on it I couldn't get under 30! A...

On Turbos they are. ? but yea you can get a complete aftermarket for cheaper than Subaru. i have a Prodrive muffler( not on yet) but it only cost 375 and headers are like 400, so that still leaves 600 according to your quote they gave you and im sure labor shouldnt cost that much. good luck What I ...

Pretty sure it's gone b/c the owner deleted the ad. Priced at $1200 (OBO) it was sure to sell fast.

if you don't mind travelling a bit or waiting patiently for one around here, check Crazedlist.org regularly. It searches multiple craigslist sites.

Hi, I think most everyone here is disappointed in the quality of lighting on these legacy's. Problem is, and correct me if I'm wrong guys, that people aren't willing to spend top dollar on some fancy ricer looking part. I spent $700 on Morette lights for my 2nd gen legacy back in the day, and after ...

TD04 would be a good improvement performance wise over the VF11, without really reducing fuel economy. But it is a gateway drug - leads to many $$$ in other related improvements..Intercooler, bigger fuel injectors, intake mod, freer flowing exhaust.. If you really like your's stock, I'd recommend ke...

I did that (dielectric grease) on the grounds & plugs in the engine bay. It's cheap insurance to avoid connection problems in the future. I didn't put any on the ECU, because due to it's location mine looked as new as the day it came from the factory.

On my newer Legacy, I had similar problems. No codes either. And very intermittent. I cleaned the grounds in the engine bay and unplugged the ECU (under the front passenger's seat), tried a different known good ECU, and it worked good. Put my ECU back in and it worked good also. So between the groun...
