Yup Tlag is your man - and he is in the Cov area

quite a comprehensive listing for all Subarus when you scroll down http://www.cars101.com/subaru/tiresandwheels.html

me to!!

Very tidy install that, clearly a lot of effort and thought gone into it

Wotcha and welcome Clive - thats a clean car you have there!!

easy fix then ;)

hmmm maybe we are being remiss in our responsibilities mind you that means I wouldn't have anyone to talk to and I would have to delete a lot of my own posts... :P

if the previous units still work it is what I would do - keeping them on wont increase the value of the car just possibly improve saleability

economies of scale - use as many of the same parts as possible and it keeps costs down - it may be possible to fit impreza units to increase bore diameter from your cylinders allowing a larger diameter exhaust all the way to the back box - food for thought, again this is TLag and Bip + others have more experience with legacy specific builds

Better to use the one from the turbo as a reference if need be keeping the car intact to sell in one go for ease Any photos of your new car ;)

well hopefully tinkering with your scooby will provide something of distraction ;) failing that there is enough inane rambling on here to realise there are people who have a questionable state of mind and need occupying fulltime :D

Would this fit - it doesnt specify non turbo but may be worth contacting them directly? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-LEGACY-CENTRE-REAR-EXHAUST-BOXES-2-5-98-03-EST-/130436736801

It depends which Konis you go for - Im assuming Koni yellow sport struts it will feel a little firmer as the damping will be different, if they are adjustable you can have it on the lowest setting which would give the least damping for your normal road use. Your springs provide the push back against the force of bumps etc on the road but the struts provide the controlled resistance to that movement - in this case by oil flow through holes. The Koni holes are smaller so even though you still have the standard springs the resistance to those springs has increased. I have used them before and they were a great product but I hardly ever used the full setting as much as the feel was fantastic I felt I was killing the car as every bit of road repair had an accompanying clang and shook the car. If you are looking for the same softness as the OE struts - even wrx ones, you may be disappointed, if you don't mind it being a bit firmer you will be rewarded with increased feel and positive response in the drive. ;) final word of warning though... its a slippery slope, I started with the shocks then found the anti roll bars could do with being a little beefier and then found that was putting the strain on the strut mounts so had top and bottom front and rear braces - then found I didn't need to run any camber on the wheels as they stayed upright around corners but the tyres were strained so hankooks were changed for yoko's - great end result but the bank account took a bit of a beating :D

if you do have the cash getting a custom made one from stainless steel will obviously benefit in the long term and you can specify as loud or quiet as you would like ;)

blanking the hole shouldnt be an issue - match up the threads and use a cap or bolt dependant on the mount - have you taken any photos yet?

plenty of options here http://www.carid.com/2001-subaru-legacy-wood-grain-dash-kits/ I don't know about the exhaust - Bip would probably be able to advise there

too much finesse required for me - I would get someone in to do that job :) :lol: :lol: wrt the exhaust tips my opinion is single exit oval twin exit round - however both do look good (porsches for example have twin oval exits)

nothing to be embarrassed about - get in there, lecturers / teachers prefer mature students as they see them as wanting to learn so put the effort in and actually listen to what is being said. You are there for you so its in your interest to understand it ;) What field of engineering are you studying?

Wotcha and welcome - as Miggs says + keep us posted if we can help / provide advice we shall do so :)

ok thanks - I def think its a subaru propriety head unit made by pioneer - will do some digging about software / firmware updates

loving those Khan reps!!

It does sound like a software problem can you post a picture of the head unit itself with the initial menu screen displayed? edit - looking on the web it seems Subaru have got Pioneer to make them a unit - within the settings / info on the screen does it give any information about software version or hardware type?

so that could be a real stealth approach -- install front mounted intercooler and have a scoop free bonnet - tee hee

Wotcha and welcome Eric - fell free to browse :) we try to promote an inclusive atmosphere without being too stuffy

How many miles have you done on them as you will need to give them a few miles to bed in as it will all be close tolerances as everything is back to full size - you don't need to remove the reservoir cap when pushing the pistons back in so don't let that worry you. the pistons in the calipers may be stiff, as the chap fitting the replacements pushed them back it means they are not seized but they may need a clean / service
