stock = the suck! I've done more customizing on my legacy......some to personalize it.....some to make it perform better. But I do like to think I've improved upon the original platform. Hey...Mine is stock. The only mods I have are slight body changes that seem to be interferring with the areodyna...

Well, yes it IS hard to improve upon the legacy, but even my minor suspension modifications have done wonders for the performance of the vehicle around corners(that's what it was built for, sort of). I just figured there's no reason NOT to add minor performance gains if they're at all possible. If ...

Hello Laurel, Interesting post...But I'm not sure of your tone...or the subliminal meaning... All I'm trying to say is that Subarus, particular the legacy, are in general an advanced and refined piece of hardware that short of major modifications cannot dramatically be improved upon. Get out a copy ...

I maintain the idea that there just isn't enough difference to justify the expense beyond the cheap aftermarket rotors at NAPA and a generic pad kit. Keep it cheap and simple and change them often. The high edge for this car is sharp enough to justify the expenses your looking at. If you want to dum...

I just bought a set of Falken FH-451's (225/55ZR16) at ustireoutlet.com $70.04 each with $65 delivery for the set of 4 to New England. Awesome tire regardless of the price, but the price is an absolute steal! Keep away from onlinetires.com! What a bunch of A-Holes. I tried to call them for 4 days an...

I've done this on my kitchen engine and took about 5 mins/side. Of course it would take longer with the engine in the car, but it shouldn't be too hard as there should be enough room to get some wrenches in there easily. Steve I could help but read your subtitle on not working. I lost my job today ...

Hello Josh, I'll try the cleaner but I think its age. Unfortunately, I don't see anything on lifters mentioned in my Chiltons. It doesn't sound like a Saturday afternoon job either. Whta do you think the simplest (read cheapest) way to approch this? I think I can get another set of heads pretty chea...

Anyone have the solution to the ticking sound my Legacy is making. It runs OK for the miles it has but it sounds like a typewriter on steroids!

At 345K my I think my Subi qualifies for a credible answers for any life expectancy questions. The rear boots on my car are still there and sealed (crossing my fingers). When or if they go I'll post it here. Here are some other typical numbers: Original Y-pipe: 325K Now running a canadian-made after...

Tires are an almost perpetual battle for Subarus since they go such long distances. The stock size on my 94 legacy is 185/70HR14. After the stock RE92 wore out (about 52K) I switch to the Dunlop D60A2 (could push a set past 50K). I increased the size to 195/70HR14 ( the 1994 Toyota Camry OEM tire). ...

I am wondering why you would need them. We get quite a bit of snow here in New England and I live on a big hill where the town has to send front end loaders to plow the street. I run all seasons tires and the ones I have now are pretty bald and have never had a problem. The front end of the cars plo...

2002 WRX exhaust system
I picked up a 2002 WRX midpipe and muffler at the amazing price of $18 on eBay. I need to know if it will fit on my 94 non-turbo Legacy. I had to recently replace my y-pipe and had to settle for an aftermarket piece I also got on eBay. Any ideas? Also, the car has 345K and needs a clutch and is tick...
