Hello! I'm glad to join the 3rd gen Legacy club.picked up my manual 140k mile Wagon for $3k today. I think I got a pretty good deal. Some
issues: Needs brakes, probably needs shocks/struts, idle is unsteady (goes down to like 700rpm), and muffler will need to be replaced at some point. Any recommendations for parts
would be greatly appreciated.
I was also wondering if I could swap the legacy sedan struts/shocks onto it easily to lower it
slightly (if anyone knows how much that drops it)
I don't believe this car has had its timing belt replaced yet so I think should probably do that soon. I don't know if I can do that myself or
need a shop to.
My main concern is the idle. It runs great but the idle goes from 1000-700 rpm's. I was wondering if anyone had ideas on what is causing this/how to fix it?
If there are any other things I should look for or maintenance to be done asap please let me
know. Thanks!
