  1. This is the rear seat I'm getting ride of. Its from an 05 2.5i Limited Sedan There were things setting on top of them so the leather has taken a set. A little heat on the dents and they'll pop out
  2. I have a black leather rear seat from a 2005 sedan, that I though I could make work in the wagon, but sadly does not, so if anyone out there wants it, I'd trade for black leather wagon!
  3. I think Jeremy from Fred Bean Parts needs to chime in on this. I'm EXTREMELY interested right now! I'm actually in the process of changing from SuperPro's to stock because the SuperPros all worked them selves out.
  4. So lets say I were to go the route of an 05 STi 6spd for my 05 Outback XT. The outbacks have an R180 rear diff with a 4.444 final drive gear ratio. Would this be compatible? There is an 05 STi at a salvage yard not too far from me that is nearly complete available for partout.
  5. Are you from the future? Maybe when everybody is a genius?
  6. Do the motor mounts, tranny mount, and pitch stop. By themselves they dont help that much, but all together they make noticble difference in keeping the engine in the car! All the power that is being used to lift the engine up, is now channeled into the driveline. The pitch stop is definately the one that will make the most noise. People ask me if I have some sort of speaker making that noise when I start the car!
  7. There are two threaded studs on the mounts. You need two nuts (not included, at least with my set) to attach them to the mounting plates.
  8. yup. Group N homologated mounts for severe duty applications. I got mine through King of Parts.
  9. And here's how you do it: 1. First, remove your down pipe. 2. Disconnect the pitch stop from the engine. If you can do this with out removing your intercooler great, I had to take mine off. 3. Take your exhaust manifold off. I would recommend taking the uppipe off at the same time for more clearance, but I don't know if it is necessary, I took mine off anyways. 4. Remove the two nuts that hold the stock engine mounts to the subframe. 5. Get yourself a jack and a piece of scrap wood, and place it under the tranny between the braces. You need to place here because you're going to be jamming you face in the engine area. 6. Jack it up high enough that the studs on the mounts clear. Be careful here. I did this on ramps which probably wasn't real safe. It unloads the weight of the engine from the suspension so it rises for a while before the engine lifts. 7. Undo the front bolts that hold the mount to the engine. 8. Undo the rear bolts. This is where most of the sti guys would just reach around the back of the subframe and get their tools in. But the subframe on the legacy is shaped differently, so you have to go in from the front. So make sure you have the engine jacked up enough to get you ham fist in there. 9. Wiggle the old mounts out. 10. Install the new mounts (hopefully you assembled them ahead of time). They are labeled and only fit one way. Make sure the stud on the bottom lines up with the slot in the subframe. 11. Reverse order of these steps. (tighten bolts to whatever you can, you're not going to get a torque wrench in there.) here are some less than helpful pictures.
  10. muwhahahahah. Just completed installing these. It was much easier than I originally thought. Everybody should drop what they are doing right now, get a set of the group N engine mounts and install them. They add almost no NVH (at least compared to what the pitch stop adds), and gives the engine so much more response.
  11. Only way I can see getting it done is by actually lifting the engine to get at the back bolts that hold it in. Looks like the Impreza chassis has the engine cradle with a lip that folds down away from the engine, whereas the Legacy's folds up and blocks access to the bolts. It might be able to actually drop the lower part of the cradle itself, with the engine suspended, but then you're really just doing an extra step. My set of engine mounts came with the plate, though I'm not 100% sure if this is the same one you're talking about. http://www.thekingofparts.com/catalog/10-2-engine-motor-mounts.jpg
  12. Has anyone replaced their engine mounts with STI Group N hardened ones? I have a set and I'm in the process of replacing the tranny mount at the same time, but the mounts look different, and the engine cradle is in the way to get at the back bolt. Just looking for anyone with any experience doing this and their comments.
