Im planning on making a subaru cult. I sort of drifted off of newschoolers to NASIOC.
I was figuring if i combined the two i would get back to good ol' NS.

So Yea or Nay for the cult?

heres a question for the suby experts. the other night, the parking lights on my 95 legacy would not go out. the owners manual does not list a fuse for those lights. i couldnt get them to go out, and the car died after the lights stayed on all night. any ideas?

On my 99 Legacy there is a switch on the top of the steering column. It is kinda hard to see just sitting there in the driver seat. Make sure that is off, cause if it on it overrides that headlight knob.

Hope that helps

What he said is the cause. That switch is a devil. It has gotten me as well.

Also, I own a '95 Legacy Outback 2.2L 5 speed with cold weather package.

Disabled mine on my WRX. Don't have a need for the lights and they just cause problems. I do love that I can just leave my headlights on all the time and they will turn off even if in the 'on' position when I kill the ignition.

Good, then you should go back and read what uni-corn posted about fixing the parking lights problem, before it gets you too.

Haha, just didn't want you to become a victim of that switch as well. It took me 2 days to figure out wtf was wrong.

It already exists! Well, kind of... The Forester XT has pretty much the same block, but without the beefed up drivetrain and other STI bits. However, with a few goodies from Cobb or someone else you can make it just about as quick. They don't look too bad either, but I just can't get myself to pull the trigger on a Forester.

'05 or '06 Legacy GT Wagon in Silver with a nice tint and some sexy wheels. Such a sleeper wagon. I'm whippin' the '04 Legacy Wagon right now, so slow but a solid little car.

96 Impreza Coupe here. It's getting old, but it's held it's own. I've towed trucks out of snowbanks with it. And 4x4'ed up stuff my buddy couldn't get his truck up. Also got air..... hehe.
