Trying to think of a few simple things I can do to the legacy... it's got the ej22 under it.

What's a good exhaust profile to use to get a good note and some easy flowing?

what suspension can I swap in to get a big more height, I think you use the outback springs right?

how hard is it to replace lights in the dash ( the ones behind fuel guage etc are dim or blown ) ?

what's a good headlight upgrade ( they're a bit dim ).

anything else that's cheap and worth doing? remembering that it's legal to do just about anything to a car here

EJ22 isn't really worth mucking around with to gain better power output... thats my opinion and i've heard guys spending over a grand trying to improve power output on EJ22 and getting nowhere...

Suspension - yes outback struts & outback trailing arms mounts/blocks etc. Springs are the same between Liberty/Legacy & Outback so you'll need raised coils to get extra 1".

Globes - easy, there is phillips head screws around the surround, undo them, there is about 4 more screws holding the cluster in, and remove the cluster, behind them there is small notches that holds globes in them, sometimes these globes has a coloured sleeve - i recommend you to remove them as they're crap and takes out a lot of lighting.

Headlights - not much you can do with them, they're always like that, have a look at the reflecter, it could be 'worn' down/faded - two options is to get good set or get it re-chromed - can't help in America.. Otherwise you could add external full beam lights.

exhaust.. can't help much as i haven't done anything, some people have done 2" flow thru.. but others have their own opinion.

edit - you could try which I havent done before with dim headlights is to re-wire with relays and direct from battery?

Yes outback struts and springs are what you want, search on here and you will find the part numbers you want 96-98 outback!! that ej22 can sound very good with a nice sports muffler on the back end so maybe look in to that!!

didnt think it would take long for you to get the modding bug!
