Well that definitely sounds like a job to do when the weather's a bit nicer! Cheers guys

Haha, I've been sat giggling at this all morning! In all seriousness though, is changing vacuum lines difficult? A bit of colour in the engine bay is always nice...

Although we musn't forget, no matter how much slower a black car is... Red calipers will ALWAYS add 20bhp!

Welcome! Where did you get the batman badge/centre caps from? They're seriously cool!

Can't say I could help on the oil change side... I'm sure someone can though! As for checking for oil leaks, rocker cover gaskets are very common weak points regarding that.

Welcome! Always nice to see another legacy

Now now, handbags away girls! ;)

Welcome- as said, no question is too daft. Very nice bunch on here!

I really am curious now! Surely if theres a genuine difference in paint weight, the car that gets polished the most would win? Or, as Savage said, the rustiest! I've definitely thought far too much into this. It's probably due to my hangover/the weather meaning I can't do anything to my car :(

Haha, brilliant responses chaps! I think the blue/silver might need to be tested... There's not 2 standard imprezas in blue and silver going to Santa Pod in July is there?

I was just wondering if other subaru model owners have a "fastest" colour. I know amongst Legacy owners, silver is the generally accepted one?

Welcome the club. I'm sure the plans will soon be turned into a nice empty wallet! Some pictures are always encouraged... I'm in East Devon, so not a million miles away when you've crossed over?

Welcome! I love the colour of your car! Very nice indeed.

Welcome!

That's great, thanks again everyone!

Thanks again... I need to find the right one for my legacy. I believe it's the same one as the impreza of the same year, 96/7 so that would be a classic? (I'm not that hot on impreza models yet.) Anyone have and idea if that's right?

I think I'll go for it. I've got a few other niggles to take care of, so will probably be a few weeks before I get it. I'll let you all know how I get on with it. Cheers guys!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you just tip it straight in there. That'll be an interesting to thing to see done actually. I'd consider it myself if it's not overly complicated

Oh and gear box oil I think you can just tip straight into the dip tube, nearer the back of the engine

I remember my gx rear diff was a bit leaky... Wouldn't know much about sorting it out. I'm sure someone on here will though. Or it's a good chance to upgrade, I think WRX ones fit and would be a bit stronger?

That is good! I shouldn't really, I'm in danger of spending far too much on shiny things I don't really need! But I'm sure one little peek won't hurt

I'm fairly happy with the height of the stick itself, it was more to make just the distance between gears shorter. Similar to the one they did on mighty car mods? I'm starting to think I'm just overthinking it!

I've been contemplating a short throw gear lever... I imagine a lot of you have them, I've just got this idea/worry that they're not that comfortable for everyday use, or am I just going nutty? Do they have any affect on bushes and things further down the linkage too? Any opinions will be greatly received Cheers, Sam

I know! Still can't imagine having anything else now though. http://www.uklegacy.com/forums/index.php/topic/108514-how-to-program-keyless-entry-for-bgbd-and-bhbe-series/?hl=keyless Your car is a BG, just in case you weren't sure. Gear linkage centering springs are usually shot on these too... worth replacing if you're stick feels a bit floppy (I'm going to be mature and not giggle at that!)

Oh, sorry to hear that! Maybe a decent alarm will be on the parts list too? Must be something to do with bad luck when first getting a legacy... My old GX, I cracked the windscreen shortly after getting it to (then discover a load of rust underneath when it came to be replaced, which cost me the best part of £300 to get sorted) and my heater matrix decided to give up the ghost after a 200 mile trip home with my GTB!
