So having come from a Prelude to a Legacy I am enjoying the driving of the Subaru - Although its the 165HP it does still lack that oomph, although I wont be affording any turbo versions any time soon.

When I got he Legacy there was a noise prevalent around the 60-70mph mark and assumed it was the NS wheel bearing although had been done last year.

Also there has always been a fair knock on the NS front when hitting bumps in the road and the drop links were noted in the Advisories so also done these

Done the ball joints as these were gubbed too. The ones that came required to be greased so turns out a calpol syringe works wonders if you don't have a grease gun.

little weld on the top as ill replace again if needed instead of greasing again. Plus where these go there is no room for the nipples

Still hasn't fixed the feckin knocking.

 

Was a quick trip to Arbroath to pick up a coffee machine followed by not being able to get gears.

Will cut and weld in a new section remove the silencer.

Gearbox off and replacement clutch at the ready but seems there was another issue

So currently waiting on a clutch fork from Vlad off the FB site then I will get her back together.

 

I think whilst I have the box out I will do the centre diff brearing as I am thinking the noise at 60-70mph is that.

welcome, a scoob is a scoob, turbo or not turbo 😄

 

 

It has been bought for practicality more than anything but I do miss the pull I got from the Prelude. Has come in useful a few times so far so doing what its supposed to.
