Knowing Subaru they're probably a BBS rim.

I'm hoping it's a gen 1 (I have to confirm it with the seller). I'm looking to buy one for my '92 Legacy and a guy has asked me to make an offer but I have no idea where to begin.

How much would you pay for a 2nd hand retractable boot cover for a '93 Legacy?

So to reset the ECU you just disconnect the battery for a minute or 2?
-
I'd buy some of my own but I've got nowhere to store them.

Does anyone have a pair of car ramps I may borrow for an hour so I can remove my bash plate and clean the underside of my engine (bloody oil leak)?

So nothing beats a good FMIC setup but you can get performance gains out of a good TMIC. I like the look of the APS dual entry top mount: http://www.airpowersystems.com/wrx/intercooler.htm

57 bux an hour is cheap! think about the overheads of running a workshop and you will quickly run outa coin. i know for a fact that ingham sears mer cedesat the mount charge 170 plus gst per hr
Yikes! I won't be complaining from now on. Still, to have the equipment and the know-how to do it yourself would be nice....maybe one day I'll get there.

Clutch replacement isn't cheap when done through a garage. The cheapest quote I've had is $900, the clutch kit costs $580 which means if it takes them 5 hours to replace the clutch you are paying the mechanic close to $100 per hour for labour!

Wrong end of the calculator !!
900 -580 =320
320 / 5 = 64 per hour So about $57 per hour plus gst = VERY CHEAP
What about the $40 flywheel skim
What about gearbox oil?
Think maybe your B*tching about being cut a good deal !!!
Also at that price it NOT a Subaru clutch either, so best of luck with anything aftermarket !
$57 per hour is still generous considering most "average Joes" earn about $21-$22 per hour. IF mechanics are earning $57 per hour then good on 'em. I just need to save some dough to get me some good axel stands, a jack and decent tools and I'll be able to then save myself $57 per hour, even if it does take longer to complete the job.

I've got a '92 with a black one. On the note of water-to-air coolers, is plain old water ok or should it be a mix of anti-freeze/boil like engine coolant?
-
Cool, thanks guys. I'll let everyone know what's happening ASAP.
-
I have all the "specialist" tools you will need....and don't mind helping for a few hours for beers....I'm free just about any Sunday afternoon, Maybe have a Dunners crew meet up/learn how to do a clutch...haha i feel some skinned knuckles coming up!!!

sounds like a plan if Andrew is up for it?? im sure well have a few takers lol
I'm waiting to hear back about a couple of quotes but if they are just as high as the last one then I'll take you guys up on that offer. I'm happy to give it a go but I just don't have the tools or equipment.
-
Thanks guys. I think I'll just stick the stock one back on until I get my new one.
-
Can anyone recommend a good Subi mechanic in Dunedin. I've rung 1 place and they quoted me $1100 to supply and fit a new clutch kit for my Legacy, $580 just for the OEM clutch kit.
-
The BOV was a freebie and leaks a fair bit under part throttle, it's a "go between" until I get a HKS SSQV.
-
I have a '92 Legacy and just fitted a BOV that vents to atmosphere. My issue is that now when I stop to give way to traffic or at a red light I notice the revs drop to the point the car almost stalls (a couple of times it has stalled) then pick up and the drop then pick up and then level out as per normal. Is this normal when fitting a vent to atmosphere BOV or is it the sign of a faulty airflow meter?

Replacing Steering Wheel
in Legacy & Outback
Posted
Does anyone know if the 4 spoke Momo steering wheel (the one with the airbag) from a '99 WRX will fit a '92 Legacy? The Legacy doesn't have an airbag and I don't intend to even try getting the airbag in the new wheel it work....if it fits.
