Why to have a high rollbar on a Brat...or Thank You Mudrat!!
Bummer!!! I'm glad you're OK Mike. Looks like I can tell the guy who made the rear bumper that it was pretty friggin solid too. . . Looks like we have to find you another Brat, eh? Here's a quick photo of it. I have more somewhere on CD if you need them. http://community.webshots.com/photo/37919799/60788236zdbdEN

Need help with a logo for this year's WCSS
Yeah, please do Garner. I'll have this one locked so it can drop. Our beer mugs from last year are also display only. We made 75, 55 of them personalized. Sold them all. Only 2 or three ever made it into the beer garden for consumption. Kinda bummed me out, killed the whole reason for making them. . . I'm all for a pint glass with color this year G. Sign me up for 2, one for me, one for the missus. ZAP and Mrs. ZAP

West Coast Subaru Show 7 Thread (real deal)
I've sold my last hatch, a blue one I made after last year's show. Moved on to EJ land. My OBS should be able to play by July. It's already half lifted, has 27 inch mudders. . . I'm not afraid to cover it with mud.

Depends on how much we hit it with the water truck that's on site.

Spy photos. . . Lifted BAHA
I think so. The write up talks about what a pain it was to install it. I think the kits must be fairly expensive for the BAHA too. The responses are funny. It's kinda amazing that it's a Subaru, that a guy is trying to prep for Offroad, and still Soob "enthusiasts" hate on it. lol If it's not a rusty old bucket, it's no good. A BAHA isn't my cup of tea, (although I gotta say that my buddy's o4 BAHA Turbo is a blast on or off road) but I think it's pretty cool to see one lifted. With any luck, we'll be able to get him (lifted guy) to show up at the WCSS this year. . .

Big enough that you'd better be sporting a lift and some kind of mud tires to wanna get into it.

There's a couple more on the Rallitek site, they show the blocks and explain the process. They used a Scorpion kit.

driving around with a welded diff
Although it might look funny, you could just put a cup minus the axle back over the splines. I just spray them real good with a lubricant. Never had a problem sliding them back on. (having a wire brush handy helps too.)

West Coast Subaru Show 7 Thread (real deal)
Why would you need a "running total" to make up your mind? Is there a quota. or a minimum amount of people that need to be there before you'll sign up? This is the 7th show. The average attendance has been roughly 100 cars. Last year we had 135 cars, 300 or so people.

pictures of the "lifted imps!"
Not exactly OZIFIED anymore indeed. . . Just consider the license plate an advertisement. That and once you buy a Personalized plate in WA, it's yours. Not the car's. Only 30 bones a year to keep it. So, sooner or later when I am sporting an ea81ish rig with a PK lift, I can just transfer the plate onto that car. I'd guess Austin has about 11 inches under the rear diff and 10 or so under the y-pipes. That's adding an inch and a half to the clearance under mine. The cool thing about these new gens, that so many of us die hard oldshoolers often hate, is that they have camber adjustments at all four corners. You can buy aftermarket plates or bolts to get even more. We can feel free to push the wheels down instead of lifting the body off of the suspension. The cvs aren't really stressed either, the angle isn't very bad at all. Lots of lift with the ride of a stock Forester/Outback. Still have lots of down travel. I'll be looking to get fid of my 18mm sway bar to gain better travel in the rear.

I'll try to call you tomorrow p.m. sometime. My little one is back in the hospital for a couple days after the entire last week. My only time to check this is when I rush home for a minute to feed the dog. . .

the copy-a-zap impreza...
That thing looks sweet Austin. Using the Forester springs in the rear looks like it paid dividends. You've got some rake now. I've got sag. Maybe this coming weekend we can get some side by side photos of them togetherl. . .

Lift install check list
Beer keeps the temper down when the damn thing won't line up right. lol I say your check list is pretty complete, but you're still short about 12 beers.

I got the forester struts for the imp.. now what? Zap?
I used the impreza springs and tops. If I had it to do over again, I woulda hunted down some forester or outback springs for the rear to give it a slight rake. It seems to sit a little higher in the front. I've got a set of spring compressors if you wanna borrow them. Be aware that there are camber adjusting bolts for both front and rear. You can adjust it to match your new struts. I'd advise getting two new rear struts rather than just one. Bite the bullet and have a matching set. Feel free to call me if you have more questions.

Lift Bolts : where do you get them?
Tacoma Screw is a good local place to check. I bought some a few times from them, they'll have grade 10 even.
