ZOMG who was that?? I hate having my posts picked apart...... I shouldn't have used the term "Twitchy" it's inaccurate. What I mean is, that i would rather have oversteer than understeer by a freaking mile. But, coming from driving RWD cars in the past, I've grown accustomed to they way they handle. Don't get me wrong, the neutral handling the Subaru can provide is awesome. But as i said, a personal preference for myself is to have just a tad more oversteer.

Got a '94 Gen 2 Legacy GT, wanting to upgrade the swaybars. Preferably to solid 22mm items. On the Whiteline site, apparently all the front swaybar options aren't for turbos. Rears are max 19mm. Where do you purchase the 22mm bars from?

Whiteline make 22mm fronts and rears for the Gen2 Turbo wagons.

If your unsure from the website listings, give them a call and they'll sort you out.

Clean the throttle spring.

thanks soop...

excuse my ignorance... :D

but where is the throttle spring (i'm assuming on the throttle somewhere) and how do i clean the IACV and spring...??

i've been told that a can of UEC sprayed through the IACV can do wonders...

it's just such a massive b*tch to get out (i've already tried)



oh, and for anyone who cares... i've also found a set of billies that i can get delivered to my house for $625 with a 3 month warranty...

KM are uncertain as the place that i'm getting them from imports them from japan

good deal??

There is a DIY on here in regards to the IACV. Throttle spring is a part of the throttle body mechanisim.
