Rear spoiler for my wagon
This is the one I'm gonna go with.. http://groups.msn.com/USMB/hatchpatroltreerun2003.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=1083 I spray canned the spoiler metallic blue.. it looks sweet... think I'ma do all the black and chrome trim with that metallic blue.. I will post a pic of it tommorow night when the magic happens.. So in that pic, that looks like it sticks up about 3/4 of an inch from the top of the hatch dont it?

oil pressure

anyone make a homeade liftkit for loyale
Matt - Well the easiest way to do that would be get some honda accord springs and swap em out with the subaru ones. Also you can turn the preload up on the rear shocks and get up to 1.8 inches I believe, and hten the front struts have preload adjusters that would give you more height in the front..

Rear spoiler for my wagon
Anyone mount the subaru spoiler that came on the 80's series wagons? I picked one up today but I didnt measure where it was screwed into in relation to the top of the back hatch. so I'm looking for either how much the spoiler is supposed to stick up from the top of the cab, or measurements for drilling the holes..... Thanks..

dual battery question
ok my bad on the terms.... I did my wiring bit 5 or 6 years ago so you'll have to excuse me.. I had the concept right, just the terms wrong.. lol
-
Newby with a lot of questions
gonehuntn - Theres a few board members here that have dual exhaust, and single exhaust w/o Cat.. Do a search for it If you gutted the Cat out, and left it in there, it should drop the temp of the exhaust around that boot.. seems like it should anyways And for the fuel filter, we use Racor filters on our commercial fishing boats and they are awesome.. You just unscrew a t-handle on the top of filter setup and then the filter has a lil handle on it to pull it out. (filter change without getting gas on your hands). They also have a petcock at the bottom of the filter to drain out water/dirt etc... They make this filters for car/truck applicatons and they are fairly small.. could easily mount one under the hood http://www.marisolmarine.com/parts/racor.html

Are all the tires on the car the exact same size tire? Sounds like you are running into the linkage problem I had when I had to put 2 bigger spares on the back of my GL

Changing Instrument Panel bulb colors
Ok, my buddy has a 92 Loyale and hes got green lights.. they are easier to look at and are a hella lot cooler. Thats whats inspired me to do that.. I tired painting the bulbs blue with fingernail polish and all that did was burn off and get me high off the fumes as I drove.... can I get a hell yea? lol
-
dual battery question
you'd have to series paralell the wires to make it so it wasnt making 24 volts and it will only work if both batteries are kept charged.. (you'd have to split the wire off the alternator that goes to the battery and make it so you could hook it to both.

Heater Emergency
Well in my messing with the dash, I did somethng that messed the heater up.. The air flow is stuck on Vent, but the off button still works.. Did I unplug a vacumn somehow putting my dash back together? Anyone have this happen or have a solution to what diaphrams I have to wire open or closed to get my defrost to work again.. Its -20F again so my car is pretty much undriveable without Defrost working
