That's cool. Thanks for the offer to PM. But, dude, here's the problem: I'm so new, that I don't know who's done what to what...so until you said you've done it, I had no idea. How am I supposed to know who's done what to what etc etc when I am barely figuring out what an ea81 and ea82 is and all that crap. (By the way, is there some FAQ somewhere for subaru model designation?) I didn't grow up around Subarus, I grew up around Toyota Land Cuisers. I don't know jack crap about Subarus. But I want to know. Give me some good technical stuff to read about Subarus and I'll read all day long. I just hate reading through forums to get info...there's always miles and miles of useless posts that don't do me any good. Aren't there any decent tech write-ups or howto's?
Is this the USRM everyone keeps talking about?

Cause I didn't see anything good on there about the 4lug to 5lug swap. Is there not a parts list put together of parts needed? Parts to replace and parts to keep? No step by step write-up? Somebody has got to be able to write one up...it's not that difficult to just start writing down the process...
