This project started because my wifes dd, 90 corolla GTS, tranny went to heck....

So sold that car and my autoX tires and wheels.



Found an awesome deal on a 92 SS Legacy turbo!!



when i test drove it.....power was ok, but the clutch pedal was loose, and stuck once in a while. interior smelled like smoke, but never stalled.

got it home and started looking at some things under the hood and the nuder the car:



some missing vac parts



but this one takes the cake:



missing prop shaft!



those are some really crap fuel filler neck hoses and fuel fume return lines. got some replacement hoses from the pull a part, $5 win!

found out why the prop shaft was not installed, center diff was toast! tried to turn into parking stall, and the car bucked like a bronco!:mad:

so got entire tranny from a member on here.



replacement diff out and ready for install:D



ready for diff

drove around for a couple days, some really bad whining noise!!



part #35 was not supposed to be in there



this destroyed #19 bearing!! took us 2hrs just to get it out!! and this what happens!!



i got it reinstalled sans #35 and all is good!!!

RHS had a minor accident:



replacement fender!





WRX seats in!





got a fleet again!!! Thats all for now!!

Awesome! Great to hear everything is working out on the car looks great. Impreza looks awesome btw!!

Beautiful car! Glad to hear the center diff issue is finally straightened out.

nice work

thanks.....the impreza does get up and go....but never had to work on it like the legacy......(not thats a bad thing!) i like working on cars, bringing them back to their glory days

Your car is pretty similar to mine. Same color...same seats...same wheels (for now)...maybe that's it lol!

That being said, nice car!

so I don't get it. you assembled the center diff as illustrated in the manual exploded view and somethiung was not right with that? Can you explain that part please? Nice looking car by the way

part #35 is not effective for 1992 center diff. but i put in a center diff from a 96, so i didnt know if it followed diff or the car......ftl....
