What'd you do to your FIRST Gen. Subaru today?
05LGTLtd replied to Liberty10's topic in First Generation Legacy (1989 - 1993)
There's a drill mod for the stock BPV, might try that. Clean your TB lately? IACV? Getting it good and warm and sucking some distilled water through a vac-line carefully can help general carbon issues. I'll run a bit of methanol (gas-line dryer) alt with distilled water. -
So that makes it a 'suck gauge'?

Damn, you first gen guys give me hope that my wagon will be running and awesome for at least another ten years! -
Makes you wonder what abomination had to be sealed up in the garage...

^^ You've got enough space to put a couple of blinkity lights between those gauges! -

hit it with acetone at the joint, then follow with PB/Kroil/etc. -
My two guesses: Weight. Got a hot deal on the tires.

Enjoyed the Miata, but was a tad small for me. The Boxster was much better fit wise for me. Miata might have won for pure fun factor, but the Porsche won on comfort and capability over all. Of course the price tag was 2x...

06-07 WRX brakes are not brembo copies. They will save you weight on the corners, and they do look nice. I'm pretty sure you need an adapter or hub swap to get the rears to fit. -
Front Wheel Bearing -- DIY Walkthrough

Napa fronts here without issues, ymmv. -
The cost of the paint and wheels could exceed the value of the car. Not really what I would call rice though.

^ well they do resemble a certain era corvette wheel...

Anyone headed to OBX next week?

17psi sounds low for an 18g??? I'm hitting 20-21psi on my BNR16g, running 650's Maybe comparing apples to oranges here, though. -

Just checking, but did you un-stake the knock-down-lock-down? -

FWIW, I run the ForcedPerformance oil line. It was the one Bryan recommended when I got my turbo. About two weeks after I installed the FP line the Infamous Line was announced. I have ~35k miles without issue. Maybe tomorrow it will be a problem, but who knows... -
Front Wheel Bearing -- DIY Walkthrough
05LGTLtd replied to derffred's topic in Walkthroughs :: Basic Operation & Maintenance
^That sucks. I changed my right side half shaft and front wheel hub this weekend. Car feels/sounds much better now. I suspected the bearing but couldn't tell for sure until I pulled the axle and brake caliper and turned it. Slight scraping noise, so ordered a new bearing. Ball joint was a b!tch, but other than that pretty straight forward. -

What's your total mod list? 18g pretty much means a new clutch very soon. I've got about every supporting mod w/ 650cc injectors running 93oct on a bnr16g. My stock clutch won't hold if I really push it. But I've gotten another 30k+out of the stock clutch. I have a clutch masters ready to go in when I get around to it. Are you getting dyno tuned? "making" XXX hp is kind of subjective. Different dynos, etc. I've been happy with the power level I have now. To give you an idea, imagine having the Stage 2 'drivability' of third gear while your in 4th. If your happy at ~290whp then the goal of reaching 300whp is just that, an arbitrary goal. I've never dyno'd my car, and at this point I probably won't. People ask what power I'm making and just tell them it's probably 280-300whp. A guy that builds a tunes mustangs drove my car and he thought I was underestimating. There are not too many LGT's around here, so anyone who rides or drives my car is usually surprised/impressed. -

I'm running 20-21lbs on the stock BPV. I think some others have had issues though. -

Also keep in mind that the stock TMIC really won't hold 18-20psi most of the time. A little epoxy and a couple big band clamps should hold things together though if you are not upgrading. Also there's the "bulletproof tmic" option.
