Lude-Scoob

easy done with a DA polisher. not too difficult to remove the headlights once the scuff is gone and the grill has the chrome gone should be looking not too bad.

Removed the headlights on the Legacy and polished them up. Some sanding then compound followed by few coats of wax. Gave this and the missus motor a good scrub up. Excuse the colour differences as taken on two different cameras. Need to get the front grill altered/painted and see if I cant do something with that paint scuff, been on there since I bought the motor.

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.

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 old This was a bugger to get out. New 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.

Currently doing clutch and bearing just now. I would say there is an issue with centre bearings going on these and the noise tends to be prevalent around the 60mph mark. Mines is currently having this issue and I intend on having it replaced whilst I have the box separated from the engine. Having the box off it seems my Flywheel is in decent condition no excessive play or scorching therefore I am not inclined to replace this at the moment as they cost a fortune.

Afternoon all, I picked up a Legacy R estate a couple of weeks ago, got a couple of bits needing done drop links and a wheel bearing nothing major. However what im looking for is the best place to find aftermarket parts nothing major she is going to be the family work horse but will be well looked after. Aim is induction kit, exhaust, window tint and a nice set of wheels. I landed lucky and obtained an induction kit locally brand new so will get that fitted over the weekend some time. Likely wont look to lower the motor so I can still use as intended with the dogs and wee man. Any advise would be appreciated.
