TROGDOR! Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Cleaned out the wagon real good today and got some pics. I haven't "officially" posted a pic since the last Pine Barrens run, so those of you who don't frequent the Subaru Alliance board or talk to me on messenger will be in for a surprise. Well, give it a look... http://usmb.net/gallery/albuo43?page=1 Before anyone shakes their finger at me about the front axles... I've got over 2000 miles on them like that with no problems, and I have a pair of spares that I snagged for $24- if they do pop, I'll just put my spares in and undo the mod I did, and call it a $25 lesson.

samo Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Looks kickass, dude!! Makes me really really want to lift mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bard Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Alrighty... making me feel a bit better about what I want to do once I get my EA82 & tranny wrapped up in that chassis from the '94 I found. I'll have to go back and look up the thread on your swap to the d/r... I'd like to have that done on mine at some point. I think I'm going to go with PK for my lift, though. Overall, it looks nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 what about the axles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROGDOR! Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 I have spring locks raising the front of the car a bit. Everyone always said "you can't do that", that it will destroy the CV's. I thought what the hell, and did it. 2000+ miles later the CV's are doing just fine. It seems they can take a little more abuse than most people thought.

bushbasher Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 GD runs around with a rear 3" suspension lift, subarubrat is running 200hp on 2 or 3" of suspension lift, and neither of them have had problems yet. Really I dont think its too big of a problem. My car will have 2" suspension lift when it is finished as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I think these axles will take anything we throw at them...as long as we take care of them and dont do anything stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Looks Good! I always did like the "raked" look on a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
