  1. They are BRIDGESTONE DUELER APT 225/70/14.. Thnx COBCOB's, right,they were an option on xt's in Europe recently discovered Latin America per(LOYALE 2.7 TURBO) in the 80's,,,,,,,,, I dont think there are Many left. ? "joostvdw" a member in holland said that he had saw 1 set on a car year ago, I searched the ebay in several countries, and found nothing for sale. I found the company in Germany,they sold the wheel division years ago. They make steering wheels and interior products for porsche,and others.
  2. Ok,1st off I am kind of boasting,but im equally interested in knowing how many of these wheels are still around?????? I bought the first pair from MEEKYMOOSE,when I drove from Springfield Missouri,to West Point Virginia,to tow tow "ROXY"home whe I bought her from (NUG) july 07 Even in Wash,Or,Id,Ut, and abroad, I have NOT seen these wheels. I searched the web in alot of countries,for hours and found very little. I know they are from Germany from "Atiwe" in the 80's Some of you wanted these wheels, TURBONE(Rob),(ED),And others that I remember, but, BROWN_MUSCLE would not ship them, COBCOB,found the wheels on a thread,after the prevoius owners mom gave the car away to be junked.?? we thought they were gone forever, and we were sick over it. The maroon ea81 wagon surfaced again with BROWN_MUSCLE, AND HAS NOW been sold to a new member?????not sure who,but it was pretty sweet wagon,and Phil says he is good people and will pamper/cherry out the old wagon. Now,COBCOB and I both have the only 2 sets of wheels these 14 inch wheels "that we know of" in the community/country? please correct if you know? His,on his BRATILLA"have killer street tires,and mine on "lifted ROXY" RX 225/70/14s BRIDGESTONE DUELER APT . they are still yet to be put on when I get home in a few :banana:days. $400.00 Picked up in New Jersey in person. Does anyone else Know were there are any others? here are some pics. BROWN-MUSCLE in person delivered these in his 2000 outback wagon,,SWEET. THANKS AGAIN Phil !!!!!

  5. man nice , I love the sedans, Ive only seen a HANDFULL. good to see another:), post that baby on the 09 lifted thread http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=97227
  6. ROXY,is a 1985 RX 4inch front and 5 inch rear lift 28.5 swampers on 15inch pug flatface alloys stock 1.8 ea82 turbo, downpipe 22 inches long wide open. stock 4 wheel disc Coming Soon: dual rear shocks, factory coil over, and bilstein with bolt on overload springs. converted 3.9 LSD rear (now in), 3.9 non RX d/r 5sp p/t trans. 10 pt jegs pre fabbed rollcage,(plymout k/dodge aries) $159.00 tied into the lift and bumper to bumper. pre runner styled baja inspired flaired fenders.
  7. IM 100% sure that the wrong gears are not much fun, I just switched the rear diff to 3.9, and the 3.9 5speed w/1.59-1 low range is ready for install sooooon, Roxy still has the P/t RX trans that was awsome for high speed dirt roads with 13's, but not too good for 28.5 swampers. It does jet on the hyway. cant wait to switch. COBCOB beer party wrench day ??????

  14. Dude, your scaring me, remember we need to don this this spring. heres what we start with. http://www.jegs.com/instructions/555/rollcage.pdf
  15. GD, suberdave, CobCob and others. thanks once again. you guys nailed the problem again. CobCob dude thanx a million, was the distributer timing ok? :banana: you can drive her all week, NO jumping,
  16. Do you have a time machine. somewere? man, have you ever seen the andy grifith episode were goober has the car inside of the courthouse while andy returns from vacation??????? I would get azzz and take down a wall to put that thing somewer in the house. ok well atleast the garage (temp controlled) on carpet.:slobber::slobber:
  17. I just completed some work on "ROXY" There is alot of blahblah, with a slideshow link for dessert. First on my list was to cut apart my "NOT SJR" strut towers,that I purchased used for $20.00 from DRKRAZY,they came to him as part or another companys lift kit that he put on his "PROJECT CHEAP." The camber was 3.2deg(+) on the left,and 2.8deg(+) on the right.(no jig)?hmmmmmm. anyway,I also cut some 2x2 angle(Thnx COBCOB),to begin to build blocks into a subframe. this piece in the pics made a 100% differance in rigidity. it was getting sloppy and squeeky.I plan on going 1.5" tube from bumper to bumper pretty soon/6-8 mo. next was to replace the rear RX saggy/uneven springs with wagon springs. the strange thing is,that there was no visual differance,both on damage or height,or diameter. l didnt mic it but they looked identical. Once on the car.........wow,night/day difference. obviously different Next,I replaced the struts in march when i lifted, but chose to replace those $20.00 e/bay new. but probably (20years in a warehouse)gabriels. caacaaahh. went with monroes,even though l wanted kyb's, but they work!!!! Bottom line??????????? it runs great,and drives ***************ennnnnnnnn:grin: Then COBCOB correctly installed all new timing set belts idler sprocket,both tensioners. she's happy. next is 8 point cage,$159.99 + shipping (the first step in bumper to bumper tube frame) That and some rivited aluminum pannels is the ultimate rust repair. Frame around it, cut out the rust, here are the pics, let it lap 2x's to insure that they all load on the slide show. thnx.:cool: http://s251.photobucket.com/albums/gg314/MYKINGCRAB/?action=view&current=0e9937bf.pbw
  18. I usually do not gamble. However,I will bet, that you (like I an now doing)will be happy with anything his name is on,after you install,and love your Sube even more:slobber: and be glad to tell others that his stuff is great. Im especially pleased with the ea82 rear. it just works with no axle problems. Easy to install,And looks great under there. you should go for it,Im sure youll be happy. IM MYKINGCRAB AND I APPROVE OF THIS MESSAGE
  19. Not sure,but aleast you deserve a bump to the top. There are some old threads, if you keep searching for high compression ea82t,or similar phrases, you should find some info. and really keep digging, there are some people that have done this and raced them. ive seen several vw, blow thru set ups running 5-7 9:1 psi ,with no problems.
  20. I hav'nt talked to you guys in a while, and was in the process of threading some other mods(stay tuned) and this popped up. good leads. I left speculation out of the thread, I was hoping you guys would be thinking the same as me and COBCOB. I am courious????????? could there be an ignition timing issue????? or cam timing issue???????????
  21. Just got new timing set (complete kit) replaced. She has ran strong ,with all vital signs in excellent range until the timing components were replaced. Today,it was taking the mechanics family (not me)to church, and thanks to an observent driver (again not me),it was shut down and came home on a flatbed towtruck, in an effort to avoid any possable damage. According to the mech,he never let it get hot:) WHAT THE H__L? (1 ran ok at an idle. (2)dragged its butt up even a slight hill. (3) will not pull under a load. (4) TEMPATURE runs HOT. Also might consider that the old timing belt(s) tension was slopppppy. and the CTS+O2 SENSORS ARE BOTH NEW. This was a night and day issue.:confused::confused: HELP PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
  22. lm thinking this is definately the correct trans. And the price? unbelievable,,,,,,,,,,, free shipping to a bus.address. "maybe" able to arrange something.if your not able. Used Subaru Legacy / Forester EJ25DE 2.5 1995 - 1998 Automatic AWD Transmission you will get a complete transmission as shown in the picture! Price:$425 :grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:
  23. Ok,check this out, they say free shiping 48 states if delevered to a business adress. $425.00 for this one. Im not sure if its the correct one.. can anyone else confirm?????????? http://www.jdmenginescorp.com/transmissions_details/subaru_used-subaru-legacy---forester-ej25de-1995---1998-automatic-awd-transmission
