the lug pattern itself is 6 lugs on a 5.5 inch circle, aka 6x5.5, which is what almost EVERY six lug rim is. I have no idea what the backspacing should be really, but I run 29x10.50 tsl/sx swampers on a 15" nissan rim and the backspacing is just about perfect, no rubbing after bfh and extend less than 2" from body.

r/r? anyways this is also my daily driver, not meant to be a project but.... bleh any chance of it NOT leaking if I just put the intake manifold on minusthe one bolt..?? I know I should do things right but theres a reason why I own a couple subarus other than the fact I love them...

I want those wheels... how much for shipping to the US???? ahh it kills me

ok heres the situation, after attempting a simple intake manifold swap(stripped down intake with a weber replacing stock intake w/ hicrappy), there was one bolt that broke off flush with the head, and I've tried numorous things: pb blaster, heating, reverse drill bit, ez-out, etc... unfortunately when I was drilling the hole, I didnt get it perfectly centered so pretty much I got most of the bolt out, but the hole is fubar. what are my options? I have a couple of spare mystery heads in the basement which I got from ryan, but I'm not prepared for swapping heads, and I'm practically broke at this point, but if I replace the heads I will most likely want to get the valves lapped or whatever and have the head milled and replace the valve seals etc.. anyways I'm about to throw tools at things that break so Im gonna take a little break... some input/advice/help plz

no it shouldnt.... just be loud and obnoxious unless its clogged... trust me the drone will get old after a while

thats cool.... and trust me a time will come when you will appreciate those tires. after having offroaded my beast with the tsl/sxs and then offroaded my stock subaru with stock bald touring tires and having seen some of the difficulties scoobyclimbs has had with lack of traction when he gets off to the side in ruts, you will definately appreciate those tires at some point in time, that and they are incredibly tough tires.

ehh... yeah but this is gonna be a mostly street rig and I'm working on making it nice... all I have to say is comparing my 84s headlights to my dads 05 colorado is like comparing a candle to the sun...

wondering if anyone can point me in the proper direction to find some? I'm really looking for h4s cause I cant afford HID, but the local parts store doesnt show any listings for H4s and only show a low beam listing for HID.

swampers, beefy skid plates and a push bar, maybe some custom rockers.

yeah its great when a 25 year old car outlasts a newer 8 year old car.

ha.. ahah...ahahahahha....ahahahahahah..... not. I'm poor, and a neighbor has a pond right behind my house which I've been wanting to blow up for the longest time, its either die from heat stroke or get eating alive by the masquitos

um yeah its sooo god darned hot out in the sun on my driveway and I got a weber swap I need to get done on my new subaru.

just got to think of ways to mod our cars that they havent though of yet

yo also make sure you got the rear tires off the ground when you do it, will take a LOT of the stress off that bolt and make it easier to turn.

I may or may not be able to, but if I can I will. I'll be in a stock rig, but at least it has a skid plate I just need to make sure to bring a few spare tires cause the tires on it are questionable...

yeah, my car originally came from california and has TONS of interior sun damage, however, its my wheeling rig so I havent done squat about it. Most I've done is taken off all the plastic inside

Check the FAQ for a place to start, I havent done the swap or thought about it so I dont know a whole lot about it. I have considered welding my diff but thats diff animal(har har! pun intended). http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24980

I would have taken a picture of that... but if it runs why ruin it intentionally...? I wasnt quite highcentered, had plenty of traction but didnt have enough power, gearing and clutch to get off of it under its own power.

hahaha... wow I had almost forgotten about that, good times. I felt like such an idiot when I did that, I'm really surprised that actually worked. Anyways I'll never leave someone I went to go wheeling with behind if they get stuck, but it sucks getting stuck like that in general.

had a bunch of fun on the rocks out there too later in the day, wish I had more clutch left. I'll have to head out on sunday.

hey sorry... man I'm a hypocrit no hard feelings. body damage wasnt intentional, just wanted to see how far I can go, which is what wheeling is all about right?

probably.. the thing is gonna get stripped down and completely rebuilt this summer, once I get it up to the farm I'm gonna be getting to work on it it.

ahhh crap... well cancel that... I forgot i have to go to a wedding on saturday -.-

4" should be a good amount of lift, tho you could go with 6" and fit some 29x10.50 or probably some 30x9.50. for lift in the rear I'd clock the torsion bar one notch and maybe use 2" blocks along with that, and get something to lower your diff back down so you can retain stock axles angles. As far as rear shocks go, get longer shocks, dont get a bracket to drop the mount so you use stock shocks, get longer ones... the amount of extra travel you will gain is pretty incredible. even with 29" tires on my rig braking is still pretty good, I can still lock up the tires, just have to press harder. Another thought I've been toying with is changing the mounts on the torsion tube to angle it downward to gain a little lift but still be able to maintain good camber.

cool... but dont be surprised when you're lights fill with water being upside down like that, cause dont most offroad lights have a drain hole somewhere in the bottom? at least all of the ones i've had do other than the sealed beam ones
