shoot the image over to me. as far as bulbs......we run the 9004 bulbs right? Are the 9007's better. I've got new headlights that are not yellow'd all to hell to put in when I get my turbo hood and such......I was goin to rewire the lights with relays directly to the battery.....but if I can get bet...

Correct.

I'm trying to clear my hellas and still keep the plastic cover one

Any of you guys have one of these installed on your legacy?

I'd liked to see if the rear facing one will work & fit past where my hella horns are installed.

If anyone can take some pics, that would be great.

Yeah......that's something most people wanting to put the DOHC heads on don't realize. They are smaller domed area or however they are setup, and will decrease compression ratio. On the flip side. If you take a 2.5 liter engine and put the ej22 heads on it. It will increase compression ratio quite a...

Don't know why it's coded bj

The car was made in the states at the indiana plant. You can tell from the first letters on the VIN.

Let us know if a unichip becomes available for the OBD1 cars.

Adam, Do you have a select monitor2 or just the original select monitor? Where did you get it? I know they're rather spendy, but I don't plan on gettin rid of my car, and will most likely get another one, and the select monitor's ability to act as a log or see real time data is invaluable. Your test...

these trannies are just funky......I'll take a 5spd any day of the week...

Actually, the 1-2 shift is not by band. I'm pretty sure its clutches/solenoids. If you get a shift kit, they plug a port in the metal plate which essentually gives you a very firm 1-2 shift.

My 1-2 shift is fine....it's the others that suck

You need to do a little more research if you were going to go to the EJ20T heads. You have to take into account coolant passages, (which shouldn't be a super big deal on an open deck motor) the fact you'd be goin to a DOHC setup, volume the actual heads take up....aka whether you will be increasing ...

very cool. Do let us know how things work out

1000-1500 is the normal goin price to have tranny rebuilt.

manuals usually last longer......but 180,000 something miles on an auto tranny is pretty good......

Well I'd start with the alternator......try taking it to auto parts store, have them test it, to see if it's bad. If it's bad, you'll prob just have to buy a new one.........as a side effect of the alternator, your battery may need have the chances to die later on. Once you do that, then I'd do all ...

ya know.....i just looked back at the pics....the headliner is different then mine.......

I'm not even sure what I would want.......maybe some stuff from the door panels.....like the speaker grills.....but I'm not sure if it's worth goin through all the hassle.

I do appreciate the offer though

Read some of the other threads in this forum. Some people have reported similar problems for the shifting.

Your tranny probably needs to be rebuilt.

I have no idea what a volkswagon tranny sounds like at high speed? enlighten us.....

Give us some more info on your car......auto/manual....type of driving....etc.

When's the last time you've done a tune-up. Plugs, wires, filters, fuel additive....etc.

What ciper is gettin at. That car is not stock......it's not from the US...... It looks like it was imported from europe some where. Japan, aus, nz all are RHD. Europe is LHD....for the most part.......and did get the 1.8 liter Legacy, as well as that type of liscence plate setup. Also...unless that...

Dave,

Pretty intersting info......wonder how they're doin it

dude.....it's the same color interior as mine

The tan is always off a little from mine

You can see on the 7's where some are whiter then the others......pretty good choppin none the less.

ditto on the ngk coppers

Mike, you may want to take a look over at the BC-BF list on yahoo....we moved over here because of yahoo's bulky and annoying interface. I've sorta put myself in charge of sifting through all the posts and trying to get all the relavant good information on this board in some archival form. http://gr...

Yes,

There were two variants. EJ20 n/a, & an EJ20T

You can read about the three variants for the introduction of the Legacy platform in the SAE article on my site or dave's.

hahaha.....that's great

You'd almost have to rig that......the chances of getting both odometer & trip at 777777 are just incredibily high odds.

Thanks for getting that data for me I appreciate it.

nope, as mentioned......it's purely a mechanical design.....you can't disable it.

honestly......yes....that's pretty much what it looks like.
