  1. You're Welcome! Well, my "BumbleBeast" still has the original ones, and they has the Flat area on their base, like the Bigger ones. Kind Regards.
  2. Maybe the Answer is: Fun! Take an Old Boxy 80's car which already is Much more Fun to Drive than any newer car, and Over-Power it; the Result is a pretty Scary Funnier Car to Drive, plus the Swap is a Great and very entertaining Mechanical Excercise; somehow about to be a true artwork of craftmanship; while modding a New car which already has those features, isn't Fun at all... Kind Regards.
  3. Thank you for the Video! I Really Like your Nice Impreza Wagon and all the Mods You've done! About the extremly brilliant Dashboard after Led Swap, Have you Used the Dimmer Knob ... ... ? Kind Regards.
  4. About these: The New Tie Rods looks Thicker & Longer... I Wonder if Maybe the Difference you found between the Old ones and the New Ones is Related to the part's use, Maybe the Shorter is a 4WD (AWD) part and the Longer is a 2WD (FWD) part, could I ask if Both are Subaru Brand, or if one of those is Aftermarket? Kind Regards.
  5. Also It has been Mentioned here Before: That has been answered as well: Years ago, when I used Ford Tempo Coil Springs in the Front of my EA82 Wagon, I used Non-Progresive ones that I obtained from a Junk Yard; so they has the same measurement between turns, also the ones I obtained looks somehow "Cheaper" than the New ones obtained by Kanurys; their part number is different too; so I believe that Kanurys obtained the stiffer ones intended for the V6 Tempo, while I used the weaker ones from a 4 Cyl model; despite that both are from Gen 2 Tempos. But The Kanurys' Awesome Wagon has an EJ25 and maybe soon will have a Nice & Heavier Bumper... So I believe that the extra weight is the Reason why he chose the Stiffer Coil Springs. Kind Regards.
  6. This thread continues here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/141647-dual-hitachi-carbs-to-single-weber-carb-1980-ea71-gft-5-coupé/
  7. Awesome! That is a Good example of a Clean & well preserved Classic Subaru! Kind Regards.
  8. About This... ...So, You're "Subarooing" a Toyota Pick Up? ... Very Kindly let me tell you: WOW! The Custom Work you've done is far beyond Awesome! I've installed 22R 'yota engines in a Chevrolet Blazer Before... ...But that is Changin' a V6 for an inline engine; but doing such a Swap you're doing requires Patience, Knowledge and High Skills; Can't wait to see Videos of the Final Product. Kind Regards.
  9. (I Forgot to add) So, the Answer to the Age-Old Question... ...for me is the Personal achievement and satisfaction when you Build an Old car to be a Much Better Car, Like TOsborn wrote. A couple of weeks ago, I posted on my Facebook wall, this: "When you want to be Someone, you drive a New Car... When you Know who You Are, you drive a Classic!" Kind Regards.
  10. Well, it depends in each one's needs... Personally, I Believe that a Nice Looking EA Subaru with Well-Done Retrofittings such like Better Suspension, EJ engine, Bigger Tires / Lift, etc... is a Way more impresive and Satisfactory Car than any Newer EJ Subaru which already came -Somehow- with those features... I don't know if I could explain the feeling... I have more people looking at my Age old "BumbleBeast" in a Red Light, even if I am next to a Beautiful Looking, expensive New Car, that along the Satisfaction I feel because that Old Thing is still alive, Runs and Moves because all the Repairs and Retrofittings done by Me, is Priceless... at least for me. Also, I Believe in the "Surprise Factor" which in this case is the Feeling you have when you Bring a Good Ol' Classic Subie which feels and sounds Robust and Metallic, and park it next to many newer thin-plastic Cars... or when you go drive it Uphill in the Highway, fully loaded and still you can left behind many "Ricers" ... Old Subarus has Strong Character, something that has been "Faded Away" in the Newer Gens, which looks so... "Generic" somehow. If I had that '83 Wagon, I will do an EJ Swap and install nice seats, etc... to do a "Custom Made" Ol' Car... or sell that half-done project to another USMB Member who could finish it... Kind Regards.
  11. Thank you for your Kind Answer! One Word: Awesome! Pretty Clean retrofitting Job, I Really like your PandaWagon. Kind Regards.
  12. Welcome! There is another USMB Member from Puerto Rico, Mr. Peter Caramanos from Bayamón, he used to Drive another 86 GL-10 painted in Yellow like my Subies, that subaru was Named as "La Abuela" (the Grandmother) it has Roof and engine lid in Black flat colour. Could you post Photos of your Subie? Kind Regards.
  13. Awesome Photo of the Panda Wagon in Action! ... I Like It! Could I Ask more info on your "Upgraded Springs & Shocks" Setup? Kind Regards.
  14. Adding to Ben's great Advice: I Must Add: Keep it "Cool" ~ Don't let it to Overheat. So Check the Coolin' System & Replace any Brittle Hose... etc. KInd Regards.
  15. ¡Si está muy Lindo tu Subaru! / Yes, your Subaru is Beautiful! Saludos Cordiales / Kind Regards.
  16. Yes, I Know... Once I had a Rear Passengers' Side wheel Stuck due to a Wheel Bearin' Failure while Drivin' at 60 KPH in a Boulevard...
  17. Yes I Know it is an Isuzu Trooper Sold as Subaru, as I already Stated above: That was an Incomplete Repost of my Post, used as Reference for the Pic Only. Also I really don't believe too much that Subaru made Dual Range Automatics, but some other USMB Members have seen them and posted about them since years ago, as you can read, Here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/26031-1993-loyale-4wd-auto/?p=211122 So I am just Searching for Proof of their existence, then I found that interesting Photos of a JDM Subaru EA82 which features a Digi Dash with 4WD-Lo and Automatic transmission Gear Numbers... and my immagination flew ... ... and I posted that here Hoping that somebody could Help with more info in the Subject... Kind Regards.
  18. Very kindly let me ask you the reason why? It has a 4" lift, isn't it? ... How much you Dropped the Crossmember? Usually New axles are better than remanufactured ones, but that will depend on the Quality of Both. So, a Subaru Genuine Axle is Way Better than any cheapo Replacement; but E.M.P.I. brand are almost as Good as Subaru Ones. My Lifted "BumbleBeast" eats Cheapo -chinese- Axles every six months, even if I dropped the crossmember... Kind Regards.
  19. Also this Thread might be Useful: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/136206-motor-oils-and-brands/ I Run my Subaru "BumbleBeast" with 20W~50 since Long Years Ago. Kind Regards.
  20. I Believe that SAE 25W~ 60 is way more heavy than needed for that engine, Despite its mileage. This Writeup could be Helpful for you: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/126284-how-to-determine-which-is-the-best-motor-oil-for-your-car/ Kind Regards.
