Thanks for the info,

I will hit the junk yard this week and see what is available.


Update: I just received a pair of 2002+ Impreza front seats.

Not knowing how the seat belts are going to be affected, I want to know if anyone 'swapped' seats with the auto belts before? And how was it?

I will take a few snaps of the car later this afternoon, re: brace, and engine wobbles.

Thank you Josh for answer our questions.


Yes, it seems like sealer and not welding material.

No, is a NA car.

It sounds like it happens only above certain RPM's at a higher range.

Whenever I let go of gas, I can hear a high pitch whiney noise.

It seems to be coming from the drive side of the engine, near the back.

I looked at all the hoses, seems to be clamped properly and no physical damage.

Any ideas?

I noticed the holes, I will need to find something, perhaps a special tool for it?



PS: I noticed my pulley and belt rubbing against the timing belt cover, causing it to smoke a little, I tightened the covers up a little, but I don't think is a perm solution.


Assuming the pulley is at 140 lbs ...

I have a USDM car with auto seat belts. I seriously HATE those.

On top of that, the 18 years old seat belts seems to be giving me a rash every time it wraps around my shoulder. Disgusting?

I want to switch to manual belts, and preferably get new or newer seat belts as all the 4 belts are starting ...

Got it, fuel filter replaced Thanks for the picture.

PS: Your interior looks very clean - I wish my seat belts are as new.

I am trying to replace my fuel filter,

However, I cannot find the 'plug' to the fuel pump.

I've managed to remove the rear bench (2bolts) from my 94's Wagon,

I lifted the seat up and no plugs connectors.

I've been reading this thread - http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=25180 ...

Mine lasted 170K KM, since 1994

The wobble came back,

I played with the tensioner, seems to have NO effect on the wobble at the moment.

I will tried torquing it down with a 22mm socket, however, the wheel keeps spinning, how does one tighten the crank pulley bolt?

Hi, awesome job! True inspiration!

I am in Canada, Ontario as well (GTA).

Falken and Nico, that's so cool that you guys are local!

GC8 rear strut tower bar wanted for my 94 Wagon, thanks!

Ontario, Canada
or shipped to 14303

What's the condition on the front bumper cover?
I am interested if all the tabs are still there, and nothing is broken.

shipped to 14303?

I am interested in the wheel, what's the cost shipped to

14303, or to Canada Ontario?

Thanks Josh,



I've put in a GC8 front tower brace. However the mount's don't sit in a flushed manner as the Wagon's shock mount has a bit of 'weld' bulge. Would that be a concern? I am thinking if driven hard enough, the pressure on the tower bar would press against the welds and damaging the ...

As it turns out,

I over tightened the tensioner, and re-tightened the bolt, all set and smooth!

Alright guys, I am a bit stumped.

Do I just need to retighten the pulley as is without removing anything?

Do I need to buy a used pulley?

Do I need a new bolt and key?

What would be the cost of the wobble?

I stole one of your pics that shows the engine.

It seems that you took off the crank pulley and that was wobbly - for me.


Was it a pain to install? Mind you my engine is still in the car.

Wait, are you talking about the idler behind the timing covers? They're all the same size. If that's wobbling you need to replace that immediately. It will eventually seize up on you and your belt with skip timing and that's never good.

I bought the pulley used for about $35 shipped for WRX ...

My memory is fading me, it was the BIG pulley that was wobbly (the middle one).

It does not look like the harmonic balancer as mentioned above...


RE: Crank Pulley, how does one replace that? And if so, are there any ...

Awesome pictures to show the issue. Thanks for the reply!

I think my harmonic balancer is ok - I should be more specific.

I was referring to the big pulley UNDER the AC condenser.





Re: Balancer

How much did you end up spending replacing the bolt, key and the pulley? I might be due for a ...

Hi guys,

I noticed the biggest pulley (don't know the name) on the bottom that is connected with the alternator is wobbly.

I cannot get a small enough socket + ratchet in there to tighten it.

thoughts? Is it safe? The wobble is noticeable when car is running, I would say about a 5mm off centric ...
