Oh yeah, forgot this too. I think a 1/4 8 point socket will hold the tap so you can put an extention on it and then use a ratchet handel to turn it. Makes it alot easier as your not fighting the tap handle in a confined space. Tim

+ Gazillion:banana: Good board for them is The Eagle's Nest. Stopped in there when I though I might switch to them.

I have two 10" aftermarket fans on each of my lifted Subbies. One is an EA81 and the other is an EA 82. Both are on factory thermal switches and cool just fine. Now if I could get my horizantal mount job done and see how that set up works:banana:

I'm try'n Okay, I got a couple of early pics...... This is the hole for the radiator, heart breaking is having to cut through my SS decal by Mick:mad: This is the rear braket, now to figure out the front:confused: :confused: This is the end result of the whole project, I got my bumper pulled back a good 6-7". Now just finish the rad and give it a run:clap: Later, Tim

I replaced a dragging rear brake caliper on DRTYGRL and the milage is up to 18+ mpg now:eek: . Lots of factors to concider. Best, Tim

Must...... Have...... PICTURES :headbang: I got started on the rack to hold the rad today. Seem like the back side is going to be easier then the front. I'll be pulling air through the hood, and down passed the tranny

Done already:confused: :confused: . Wow, I just cut the hole in the bonnet last night. Worst thing about it was cutting up my Swamper decal that goes across it. So, have you driven it? and if so, does it seem to cool okay? Later, Tim

I'm going to have my fans on the underside so they pull air in from out side. I'll be building a "hood scoop" to cover the hole in the hood so snow and junk doesn't pile up on the radiator. I'm still looking at how to mount the radiator, but I'm thinking a rectangle cradle out of angle iron and mounting brackets bolted to the strut top bolts. Share some pics as you get started and I'll do the same. Later, Tim

year before last was great, it was our first vacation with no real problems. It was the road test for the CCR 2.5 and the only problem was the temp sensor I missed when I put the thing together. I is a beautiful camp ground and just a good place to relax. See you there, Tim

Here is another one, http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=62289 but what you should come away from this is that there is no one answer. I have an 86 hatch, 3" lift and fenders trimed about 25mm with 28" Swampers on it. However, I'm running 14" pugs not a 16" rim. Alot of it is going to depend on what your willing to do to the car, it is relative to what you think is to much. Your location is a definate plus, there are alot of guys out there who have a wealth of knowledge and experience on the subject. HTH, Tim

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24980 You may want to invest in some asbestos:lol: . Welcome to the USMB, Tim

GL10 trip comp gives alot of that type info. You could try and put one in your current car or, easier, get a GL10. Tim

Vicky the kids and I are in site #62. Everything else on that end is filled up so if your coming grab your spots now!!! Later, Tim

Thanks Bigjim....... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=63803 It is also in the USRM. Tim

It has begain. I pulled the radiator and bumper today, I'm going to refit the bumper first then start to work on the radiator. :banana:

Hey Pat, I think I'm the only one who is in line with what you've said... . You might need to swap radiators too. Along with the cooler lines. The rest of the swap should be straight forward. Good luck, Tim

Well, we took it for a test drive (you had to see that coming). BUT, I din't like the "feel" of it as well as my WRX. It has a more refined, for lack of a better term, feel. Yes, very fast and a lot of cool gaggits (I really like the adjustable red line in the tach). But I like the "raw" feel of my 06. So, if you're looking for a grown up car one of these might be for you. In fact the guy who traded it in traded for an $80k Mercedes Benz. Still a beautiful car and one I'll be able to tell the grandkids I drove one once:headbang: . Later, Tim

I'm in, mine are in cronological order, newest to oldest............. 2006 WRX TR in San Remo Red W/ 5spd, rear wing, boost guage, and sub woofer amp. Named "Ruby" Next is the 97 Outback Wagon. used as DD, camper puller and dog car. Named "CRKHEAD" (Yeah it's a 2.5:lol: ) 87 GL wagon, 3/4 PK BYB lift 14" Pugs, LSD rear, Weber 32/36, rear disk brakes. Named "DRTYGRL" This is my favorite, "RUZILLA" More then I have space but the big mod is the Brat fun tops Last but not least is the 84 Turbo Coupe, not a thing done to it, not even named named yet....... These and more on my pictures site. Tim

So I made a mistake, I went and looked at an 07 STI Limited (#197) yesterday:slobber: . I really have the bug now!!!! It is a beautiful work of art. So now to figure out how to talk the wife into trading the 06 WRX in on it:confused: :confused: . Wish me luck, Tim

That's why you build "His & Hers"........ Old picture but you get the point :banana:

Big Jim is a good guy to do bussiness with, here is a short thread that should get you looking in his direction. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=66061 HTH, Tim

Gotta admire your perserverance . Later, Tim

I got one when I put my moter in, IIRC about $90 from the dealer. Tim

The only thing better would be to build it into an Access DB. Nice work, Tim

^ You are correct, I just did a quick glance at the pic. As a guess, I couldn't see the V belt pully costing substantialy more. Later, tim
