You won't need your waders, but expect it to be pretty soft. We were driving around last weekend and the ground was pretty saturated then and it's rained 4 days out of 5 since then.

Oh, that's ugly; you'll miss two events both PRG and ORG.

Thanks for the thought, but I'm never patient enough to do that job properly. I've already ordered the parts I need from Jason. I should have them installed by April 1st.

Sounds high to me. Four hours labor at the going shop rate plus a reasonable cost for the parts should be around $700; $75/hr.= $300 labor plus $100 (or less) per strut=$400.

Drop me a PM is you're truly interested in the surrounds for the foglamps. Jason at 1stsubaruparts.com can get them for you (call Mike Scarf Subaru and ask for Jason in parts).

First event of the 2007 season for ORG. Hillsboro, OR 3/25/2007. Details to follow as I get them.

PRG rallycross on 3/17 at the Staddleline ORV Park. More details to follow as soon as I have them.

Looks open to me also. However, the other test is to turn the input shaft and if both output shaft turn the same direction, it might not be an open diff. Perhaps VLSD?

I may have found a source for the surrounds; apparently they are still available from Subaru; a bit pricey, but available. I'll post the information as soon as I have the details.

I'll pass on anything I find out.

I bought a pair of these on ebay for my '97 Impreza wagon. Having removed the plastic insert in the bumper I can't figure out how to mount them in there. It's obvious to me that the previous owner had dinked around with the brackets and one or both of the foglights might be mounted up-side down. In any event, does anyone have information on mounting them or could drop me a picture of how yours are mounted ('97 to '01 only since the pre-'97 are vastly different)? Am I missing some other pieces here as well as another plastic surround for the lamps since they are smaller than the opening in the bumper?

This is how I do it also; but disable the ignitor or ignition coil so the engine can't possibly start when you loosen the crank bolt this way.

Another fine video clip:

Last time I bought a new ignitor for my '84 Brat (Hitachi, not ND) it was around $100 from B&B Auto Parts in Redmond. Don't ask me for the part number, sorry.

If the cable is in the correct direction and the groove is just peeking out of the holder, start the clip by hand and then tap it in with a small hammer.

Install the lamps with heavier guage wiring and a relay to carry the extra current; wire the relay coil into the existing circuit. Stock wiring was not meant to carry the extra current.

Can I make a suggestion here? Rather than downloading everything. Why not just burn a CD and snail-mail it to Mick. Less work for both of you.
