El Toro

what a cool quick disconect! is that home fab?

on the bi run i think its a 60% new and 40% old. maybe i will do a count and see howmany subs vs. others there is on a run.

WOW! i thought there would be a ton more members that were ferry riders! i think i might make up some ultimatesubaru.org cards and spread the word.

cool! she likes the nice touches. she gets into my rig and shes like where is the cup holders:-p

budget has a fair range no more than 3K. she does a mix of around town and highway. as far as sedan or wagon she does not car...but...she would like to have more leg room in the back seat. so im not sure witch one has better leg room for the rear passengers. any thought on this?

so i love my Subaru's and my wife has slowly caught the Subaru fever! now she wants to ditch her kia and get a Subaru. however my new school knowledge is poor at best so my question is what do you feel is the best model 93 or newer and what should i look out for? sedan, wagon, coup, she is open to it all.

i wonder if they have room for a EA82 off roader....were all one big family... right?

Recently I was on a quest to swap out my ER Alt to a IR alt and this is what I learned..... Converting your 1980 or prior alternator from "Externally Regulated" to "Internal Regulated" is quite simple and easy to do. You will need... 1. Internally regulated alternator from a 1981-1984 Subaru or a 85-94 GL/DL/Loyale (they had 65 amp alternators) 2. Butt connectors 3. Crimper's 4. Adjustable wrench First remove the battery(SAFETY FIRST)and set it aside. Then find the regulator (square box 3x3 ish with quite a few wires going out the bottom). Cut off the wires at the regulator. Then strip and twist the white wire to the yellow wire and crimp on a butt-pick1- http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=12644&cat=500&ppuser=13949 Now strip and twist the white/red wire to the white/black wire and crimp on a butt-pick2- http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=12645&cat=500&ppuser=13949 . Strip the blue/yellow wire and connect it by a longer length of wire to the + side of the coil(this is your fuel)-pic3- http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=12647&cat=500&ppuser=13949 . Swap your old ER alt for the new IR alt, replace your battery and wala ! No more external alternator!! Big thanks to hondasucks for his time and references!!

forgive my ignorance but what is a Reflash corral

sounds like the state should pony up some tribecas for the commuters

is that how you get there?:-p

nice shots! lookin forward to the vids

looks like good times cant wait to see the mud picks:-p

So i work on the boats on the bainbridge island run and it seems that every other car on the boat is a Subaru. got to thinking that some of those Subaru's have to be board members. if this is you give me a shout! I'm curious to see how many of us take the boats.

BTW i have found it helpful to twist the two joining wires together and pinch them in the same side of the connector. that way if you make a mistake you can cut of the wrong wire and splice the correct one in the other side. like this...[ATTACH]4100[/ATTACH]

unless your building a competition set up the stock wires should be just fine.

OK as far as the ground wire attach it to the wire harness (Subaru had the stock one that way for a reason...the reason I'm not sure but thats what they intended.) on the harness that plugs into the Subaru there should be a wire that says "constant" or "12volt" and should be yellow or yellow with a white stripe. splice your uninterrupted into that. I'm slightly confused with your back speaker situation. are the rear speakers in the stock position with stock wiring? if so the harness you got with the radio should have rear channel wires. just splice the radio to the harness that indicate the rear channels and WA LA! plug the harness into the plug that the stock radio was in and its time for tunes! samo is a good one to talk to about stereos but i have not seen him around for a while........TRATOR!!!...just kidding.

i cant quite tell but do you have a guard on the bottom? if not its time to make one. might help you in the future. a wise Subaru guy once told me "stock or lift make sure you have a skid plate!":rolleyes: PS, lookin good!!

come to think of it my stock flaps probably do not go down far enough to be considered legal. hope i can find some withe the 4WD logo like the stock ones...

nothing makes me smile more than a subie with more diff clearance!! the other day i parked next to a lifted dodge...looked insane...he saw my rig and was all"you of road that thing?! he he" and responded "yes the clearance on a Subaru is pretty good." he then proceeded to look under and saw how much clearance at the diff i had. he gets up all pissed and said" i paid 6 grand in lift and tires and you have more clearance than me!!!! i don't think it helped that i told him i only had $20 invested in el toro. i digres...the hole thing about the headlight law you know they do not enforce that one....gues i should upgrade my mud flaps.

yeah but i wonder if the bumper law supersedes the lift rule?

so i was kicking around and found some WAC laws. http://www.wsp.wa.gov/traveler/cvd/pasequip.htm scroll down to the lift section and read about max lift for a car........22in! now i was wondering if you could say that your rig was a SUV and qualify for higher lift? any one have problems with the fuzz and if so how did you handle it ( and i don't mean"give the guy a dirty look". i figure thats automatic)

With luck i have found a great parts car for el toro......sadly the truck i had hoped to tow it with has gone kaput! so the question is does any one have a truck and tow dolly/trailer that they could help me out with. your time and gas will be reimbursed by barter or cash. hoeing to do this in the next day or so. PM if you can help.......i could through in lunch!

OK so here is my old alt http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=11897&cat=500&ppuser=13949 and the new one from a 83 gl wagon http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=11898&cat=500&ppuser=13949 now i will cut the blue and yellow wire that goes from the fuel pump to the external regulator and attach it to the coil. plus i will take the "E" wire and attach it to the coil. plug the old T in to the new alt and TA DA! well off to do it.

man i tell ya that welded rear diff sure pushes him up that thing.......to bad my camera did not get the full approach
