Summary of change:
'''Subaru Legacy Outback (JDM Grand Wagon) AKA The Daily Driver''' --Why is there smoke coming out? Hmm. Seems one of the heads is leaking oil onto the exhaust manifold. Better fix things before I set it all on fire.-- Fitting new rocker cover gaskets, cambelt, seals, idlers, etc seems to have sorted it. $985 NZD. The car is basically a Legacy Wagon with too much suspension. It's got a 2.5L flat four, with a four speed automatic gearbox. It's a 1996 model, so it's getting a little tired now. Time for a freshen up... but'll have to wait until the other cars are done. Consider this page a wishlist. Chassis * --[http://www.kyb.co.jp/shock/products/330000.html KYB Excel-G] struts.-- Done. $620 NZD parts. $300 NZD for fitting. Car feels more stable on the road and much safer. * Polyurethane bushes. * --[http://www.whiteline.com.au/swaybars.htm Whiteline] sway bar links.-- Done. $265 NZD. Huge improvement. Less wallowing and better turn-in, even with old shocks. * Whiteline sway bar mounts. * Whiteline sway bars. * Whiteline tower braces. * [http://www.dba.com.au/dba_catalogue_2004/HTML/home_menu.htm DBA 4000 series] slotted rotors. * [http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/DisplayWheel.jsp?wheelMake=BBS&wheelModel=RGR&wheelFinish=Diamond+Black+Painted BBS RGR 18x7.5] rims in Diamond Black finish (or cheaper copies). * Michelin Pilot Sport 245/45ZR18 tyres. We have some Pilots on the horse float. :) Engine * Rebuilt original EJ25 DOHC ** Internals *** 9.5 to 1 Arias pistons. p/n 3620100 *** Arias ringset. p/n 1215283937 *** Eagle H-beam rods. p/n CRS5137S3D *** ARP head stud kit. p/n 260-4701 *** Cobb Street Performer DOHC [http://cobbtuning.com/legacy/enginehead1.html camshafts and heads]. ** Intake *** K&N filter. *** Remove MAF meter. *** DIY cold air ducting. *** Wizards of NOS 100i DP kit. ** Exhaust *** Borla headers. p/n 17183 *** 2.5" Custom system with Borla components. HKS and GReddy make bolt-on cat-back systems for the BG9 wagon, but note "Grand Wagon installation failure"...? Apparently the rear bumper is the main difference - it's needs to be hacked to fit. ** Controls *** VEMS ECU running sequential fuel and DIS ignition. Wideband O2, knock interface, and EGT. Really need to find a wiring diagram for this car first. ** Externals *** Unorthodox Racing alloy pulley. p/n 121310112 It should look something like this... http://www.vems.hu/files/MembersPage/RichardBarrington/outback.jpg ---- Back to MembersPage/RichardBarrington
