98legwag Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Today I spent the day with a friend working on my car and washing/waxing his. I have decided not to put on the side skirts I got, they will be up for sale soon. I did install the JDM power mode button. http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g378/98legwag/20130810_133705_zps7a8f3d81.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Did you actually wire it up for power mode? Or just install the button. Because I wired my LGT for power mode (no JDM yo, just a toggle switch), and it worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Its wired up for power mode but not the hold function. The bulb in it seems to be burned out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Gage Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Do u notice a difference with power mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I did. It's basically the same thing as tow mode on a truck. It makes the trans upshift later, downshift sooner, and unlock the torque converter with less throttle. It was actually really nice where I live in a really hilly area. The stupid thing would sit there and lug up hills in 4th, and take excessive throttle to get it to shift down to 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Wagon Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Earlier in the thread, you said you made your own custom grill. Any tips on how you did that? Did you use the grill your car came from the factory with or something else? I'd like to do something similar, and any tips would be appreciated!

98legwag Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Thanks guys. But now this car just gets kept running. I bought a 3.0R Limited a little over a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Well, it never ends. After speaking with a friend who got a TIC Brake Master Cylinder Brace I got Grimmspeed Brake Master Cylinder Braces for both this car and my 3.0r. That one should be here Monday. I may install this tomorrow, but I am going to a few pick and pull yards with some friends so I will see if I have any time to do this after. http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g378/98legwag/98%20Legacy%20Wagon/20150206_220616_zpsnz3b73f3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Well, I installed the brace. It makes a nice difference. Braking is much more linear and instant when the pedal is pushed. I do think my brake master cylinder is getting tired after 173k miles. I may replace that soon. I also put in some Chevron Techron fuel system cleaner before filling up this weekend. The car runs so much better now. It was recommended to me that after using that to drive the car for about an hour to work it through the system. That is exactly what I did.

98legwag Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 So this pile wasn't starting the really cold weather the last two days. After work this evening for the hell of it I put the stock coil back on and it started right up. No more Neon MSD coil for my wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Recently my wagon has been suffering from a spongy brake pedal. The master cylinder was replaced along with the front hoses. It helped a bit, but not as much as I would like. The right front rotor had an odd contact pattern where outer 1/8 of inch was not being contacted. The wrx brakes I had put on the car have an unknown amount of mileage. I decided to order new rear hoses along with calipers, Stop Tech pads, and Brembo rotors for all four corners. The new calipers got a coat of red paint for the extra horsepower. http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g378/98legwag/98%20Legacy%20Wagon/20150416_190229_zpsqhlut3u9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
