ggreene Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Old but still good. - With models getting bigger & bigger it's nice to have a fairly lightweight, nimble Legacy, (not that I wouldn't mind a newer one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiyo1990 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Dude tints would help a bit. Looks very clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggreene Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 ... I've thought of getting the tinting done, but 4 new struts are next on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggreene Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Different view - Lurking just behind the lower grille is the shiny MS3 single port header, (UEL, ceramic coated), that has been on the car for about 4 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiyo1990 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Lets see a shot of the header! haha. I think fogs would look killer, and a lip. Really pull front end together. But you have a clean car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brobb11 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Looks like a solid daily. Car seems clean and straight. Rockauto has KYBs for relatively inexpensive if you do the work. Just need the alignment after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have a clean car ... There are removable pop-outs where the fog lights should go, (maybe standard on the LS), so we shall see. - I have to re-fabricate the fabricated 3" air intake, getting a CEL for not enough air to the fast-idle circuit. The darned hose hook-up point is too small in diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggreene Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Air in, air out. - Intake & exhaust. The normally placid beast comes alive at about 2700 rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need the alignment after. Yes, and that's just what I want, the KYB's. - 220,000 on original struts. They still work, but are sometimes a little creaky, regardless, I certainly got my money's worth out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brobb11 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Ya I'll say, the 220k and still holding up. From what I understand, the springs don't usually need to be replaced when the struts go out. Just mount to the replacement strut. Cost effective but after 220k I wonder if it's still a viable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This car has never been off pavement. - I have a good shop here that will install the struts for a very decent price as long as I do the prep, (removing the back seat, which I will gladly do to save money). - Then, (in the future), on to replacing the original rack & pinion.

You can get full assemblies. But yeah I got to look into power steering flush, and repainting the power steering resevior! You will be happy with KYB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
