A 900S is non-turbo, though.A 1995 900 Turbo Convertible would be perfect- the only year they didn't use hydraulics for the top, and it was the first "NG900" 'vert. Guess what always breaks. Especially if it had the Opel poo poo engine (which was technically an SE). The only good thing about it was that if you got the 4 speed slush, it was pretty resilient. Most of the time.

How is that car so clean? That'll be nice if the box can hold up. 1993 + being an L does not in any way guarantee all wheel drive, so make sure it actually has rear axles before you pony up for it.  e: vvv It will absolutely be an early dual-port low-compression non-interference EJ22, that's the smallest engine they offered on the Legacy in the US (EJ18s were available for the Impreza, but let's not speak of those). It's a good deal, I'd jump on it. First gen Legacies are getting rarer all the time, especially wagons. Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Dec 23, 2014 |

Long as the head gaskets aren't explodey and it isn't shagged the gently caress out, that looks worth getting. As noted make sure it's AWD. Subaru head gaskets and timing belt aren't even really that big of a project, but it sure is baptism by fire for a first timer, you will need to take the engine out to do it if you want to stay sane. Plan on buying a couple hundred in tools and a couple hundred in parts for that if you do it.

Update on Not Driving Like I Want To Ruin My Car: Went out to practice driving because, due to the fact that I have no job, it's perfectly okay for me to stay up super late and wait for a time when parking lots are empty. Went to the parking lot, and saw what I think was a drug deal go down with a guy in a black Mitsubishi Eclipse? I accelerated really fast near his car, but he didn't look impressed. Mind you, I probably shouldn't try to gain the respect of anyone that drives a lovely 3rd Gen Eclipse anyways, because they kinda look like poop. Got some more gas, lot of air went WHOOSH out of the tank when I removed the cap. Don't know if this is something bad or not, but I figured I'd bring it up. Definitely much better at shifting into first than I was, although uphills are still a bit of a tricky thing because I haven't QUITE got down where the clutch pedal needs to be depressed to so that the moment I get off the brake, I can instantly start moving off the clutch and on the gas. Weird noises abounded, but it didn't seem like it was anything directly related to the car, and mostly just squeaky belts from the cold. Nice weather we've been having lately. A tad bit moist, but not below freezing, which means that the salt crews haven't been going nuts. Makes it easier for me to drive my car without feeling guilty. Edit: I want one project in the future to be converting the electrical windows to a manual windows system. Power windows really aren't that super necessary IMO. In other news, shopping around for something good to install in place of the slipping clutch. Any suggestions as to a good part for that? Because obviously, the clutch slipping is bad. Also might need a little bit of help on what I need to do to convert it back to NA from Turbo, if we do want to go that route. In addition, the stock EFI is definitely a point I will need to fix at some point. Will I need to get a brand new EFI to replace that, or is there some fiddling I can do with the existing one? fishception fucked around with this message at 14:07 on Dec 23, 2014 |

The easiest way to get a grip on the clutch bite zone is to clutch in all the way and very slowly back off until the point where the RPM start to dip. Hold it steady right before that dip point and you shouldn't roll too much when you let off the brake.

Hold it steady right before that dip point and you shouldn't roll too much when you let off the brake. There is a lot of clutch between in all the way and the time when it starts to actually catch. A LOT. I've at least figured out where I need to push the clutch down to to get a pretty reliable and not bumpy start.

That legacy is awesome. The 22E did not make enough power to break the 5 speeds and the 22E does not have headgasket issues like the EJ25s. It's pretty much a bulletproof driveline. The oil leaking they mention is probably the valve cover gasket and spark plug tube seals. I mean maybe the headgaskets are weaping on to the exhaust but loving doubtful. Sperglord could do a valvecover job in his driveway easy. Hell he could loving call me and I could literally walk him through it. Cali car looks good. Stick your head under the back to make sure there are two actual axles going to a rear diff. You can service a subaru with a metric socket set and a metric box end wrench set. Pretty drat easy. It's the same thing as an impreza so everything under the sun has been documented. Slow is Fast fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Dec 23, 2014 |

Part of the computer's onboard test to make sure you're not leaking this world-destroying toxic vapour is pressurizing the evap system, which is what you heard when you opened the fuel cap. Some cars seem to run a lot more pressure - my Miata makes a frightening amount of noise when I undo the cap. When you get a leak (most commonly by leaving the fuel cap loose, or by rust rotting out some part of the assembly) you usually end up with no whoosh when you open the cap, and a check engine light. Sometimes you also get an exciting vacuum leak which makes your car run like poo poo.

Seat Safety Switch posted:This is good, means your evap system is holding pressure. When you fill up your car, most (all?) modern cars will trap the fuel fumes in a charcoal canister and release them into the engine later. Fuel fumes are super bad for emissions - leaking even a little bit of gas vapour while filling up your car is worse than driving it every day for a month or some bullshit like that. How did I never know this...now I assume my F150 is like 10,000 cow farts every time I fill up, no sound when taking off the cap at all.

so if your serious about a Subaru I will come with you to look at one. I was at the Subaru dealership for a while and know some of the common problem areas on all older legacy....mainly rust rust and headgaskets. also if you need help looking for a car just PM your specifics and ill send you a few links to decent cars.

At least it doesn't look like it has any "HERRAFRUSH" issues, since it looks like it was driven by a nice family rather than some ricer rear end in a top hat. ..... I'm not automatically a ricer for owning my car, am I? I mean, I imagine ricers as the idiots that blow up their lovely Honda Civics and put tacky as gently caress body kits all over it and honestly believe that their ratty Honda Civic "COULD TOTALLY BEAT THAT CLASSIC MUSTANG IN A DRAG BRO, RACEU FO PINKU SURIPU".
