I run 15x7 +45mm Kosei K1s (with 225/50-15 Victoracers) on the 2.5RS when I autocross and that setup puts the outside of the tire slightly beyond the fender (and the only reason that it still works on my car anyway is due to the smaller rolling diameter of that combo and my suspension setup...it sti...

I used the site IronMonkeyL255 posted to build the MBC for my RX. The only real change I'd suggest is to buy a brass "bushing" from the plumbing department which completely eliminates steps 1-3 (as that's exactly what steps 1-3 have you making on your own and the bushing and coupler are vi...

Several years ago Sport Compact Car did a comparison of various EBCs and used a ball-spring style MBC to benchmark them. Though a few were a good bit better at controlling boost, several actually performed WORSE than the MBC and the rest were about even with the MBC. Unless you have a need for "...

1991 Subaru Legacy Sport Sedan (4EAT) http://www.warpthree.com/images/warp3/legacy/040821/MVC-636S.JPG Mod List: http://www.warpthree.com/vp_warp3lt.html Basically the list is black 2.5RS wheels, a 16G turbo and several "not yet installed" parts. I've got more I want to do to the car, but ...

"Hand-me-down" upgrades are great. The same thing happened with base Impreza owners buying the stock parts from 2.5RS owners who were themselves often upgrading those parts to the JDM/EDM WRX versions. If a part is an upgrade for your car and is available relatively cheaply since it is &qu...

If you'll recall one of Subaru's recent concept cars had the same kind of grill. Funny how Subaru hires an Alfa-Romeo designer and the new Subarus suddenly turn into Alfa-clones on the front.

This same exact thing happened to my 91SS yesterday. I gave a neighbor a ride and on the way back noticed I was getting a bit low on gas, so I stopped at the gas station to fill up so I didn't have to get gas on the way to work in the morning. I fuel up, get in the car, and nothing...dash lights wor...

Don't forget that an 88 GL-10 wagon is about 400 lbs or so lighter than a 5MT Legacy SS as well which definitely doesn't hurt him. :) (...and the pre-87 and/or sedan models are even lighter. The factory spec'ed curb weight on my '86 5MT RX Sedan is only 2520 lbs compared to over 3200 lbs for my '91 ...

Very nice link (especially since the 99-01 RS is one of the forums)...thanks!

Ooooo...Get Dale Teague to buy them...I live like an hour from his shop, so I wouldn't have to pay shipping if I buy one!

Believe it or not, I've actually seen a 225/50-15 Victoracer (which are wider and have stiffer sidewalls than street tires) shoehorned onto a 15x6 Legacy Turbo alloy. Of course, it looked like a cantilever slick due to the severely angled sidewall, but it still worked... :lol: From my experience wit...

My 91SS has a TD05H-16G as its only mod (so far...but I'm working on that) and I've been averaging around 17-18 mpg (only got 16.5 on my last tank...ugh). I was really annoyed by this originally, but from this thread it looks like I'm actually on the higher end of the spectrum for Legacy Turbo gas m...

Is the technique basically the same as on the 2.5RS? I did this mod to my RS a few months back (via the instructions on the RS25.com forums) and it was ridiculously easy. Then when I bought the 91 Legacy Turbo, one of my early thoughts was: "Hmmm...this wiper stalk looks an awful lot like the o...

Doh...forgot about the 2.0L Forced Induction limit in STX...in that case a Legacy Turbo with big brakes goes to either STU (assuming your region runs the optional STU class) or SM . (You can't change the brake size in SP which is why I didn't list FSP as a choice.) I'd recommend STU if your region o...

My bleeder cost a little over $3
I also have a Home Depot Racing intake for my airbox

Yeah, at least on my RX I spent more time buying "mods" at Lowes and Home Depot than I did car parts places...

But my car is supposed to run in SM (Street Mod) which is where the $20k + perfomance massaged cars that are barely street legal run. Why? Because I put on WRX front brakes. Yep, that's it... straight to SM. OEM forward compatible brakes that are a little larger than mine. SCCA Solo II is a little ...

I run my 2.5RS regularly in Street Mod (it was in DSP until I stuck Cobb "spicy" cams in there) and have been doing surprisingly well on a local level with it. Full mod list is available here: http://www.warpthree.com/vp_warp3.html I was hoping to run the Legacy Turbo in a couple events in...

i downloaded the manual, but it doesnt show me the bov?? it shows me everything except. (This is based on the PDF files as downloaded from the finleyweb.net site): In "Repair Manual 1" (the manual is split into two PDF files on that site) on page 176 (if you are using a different version ...

I built an MBC based on the instructions on this webpage... http://www.geocities.com/chmwatson/FAQs/mbc.html ...for like $10 in parts from Lowe's and 1 butchered ink pen (for the spring) and they can be made even more cheaply since I have enough spare parts to make a second for more like $5 instead....

yeah, if i wanted an autoX only setup, i'd go with 14x6-7" and azenis. no question. You do realize that in Stock class both the diameter AND width of the wheel must be stock, right? Speaking of which, did the N/A Legacy models have 15x6 wheels available as factory option or were those only ava...

Yeah, I thought that too, but maybe the pic just doesn't match the description or something...regardless he does offer one with the stock compressor outlet orientation.

The 91 Sport Sedan I recently bought had a seized turbo...now I've got a TD05H-16G from Deadbolt Speed installed (one of his new "bolt-on" versions that has a rotated compressor outlet so you don't have to rework the turbo to throttle-body piping like you do with the standard TD05H-16G). H...

I recently bought a 91 Sport Sedan and the previous owners had put 205/65-15s on it instead of the factory-sized 195/60-15s (yeah, lets go wider AND a higher aspect ratio...morons... :roll: ). Regardless, though I pushed it pretty hard on the road where I live (including pretty hard braking into a 9...

http://www.aaarims.com lists a wheel that sounds like it would describe these perfectly and is listed as the stock wheel from 2001 and 2002 Foresters (oddly enough it's the only wheel on the page they don't have a picture for :roll: ). The description is 16x6.5, 5 rounded spokes, +48 offset. The sh...
