how about an EG33?? tom

Here is how you tell the difference... All OB had a 4.44 final gear ratio, so if you find an OB trans you are set. BUT The other problem is, 99 are a mixed year for the SUS. Some still had the phaseI 4eat, like mine did while other got the PhaseII trans. The way to tell them apart easily is to look for a spin on extrnal filter. These spin on filters are found on Phase 2 transmissions ONLY... No Phase I had an external filter... Good luck, hope this helps Tom

That 2.5 w/ 280k original miles is DEAD.. Mike was looking to get some last laughs out of it.. Tom

Thats why I was towing it out in the last picture Tom

I ended up ordering mine from Tirerack... Local tire shop couldn't get them... About $100 a tire for the 215/75/r15's on my legacy Tom

I run them on my SUS, good tires for on and off road purposes. Nothing too extreme yet nothign that lacks in the woods... My car can go anywhere Tom

Now this is still a little shakey but I figure I'll ask anyway. The guys and I have been on some trails around here since we caught the offroad bug in our outbacks. Found a great spot to host a rally-X. Now this would be un-sanctioned and more or less just fun runs on a course we make up... Just seeing if anyone would be interested. It is legal to be there as long as the vehicles are registered and insured. Let me know if you are interested Tom

Nice... How "legal" is that thing... Def needs a lil bump on the cylinder count:burnout: Tom

w/ any luck, Mike will be able to bring the little red wagon if it'll run right after some new belts... but who knows... I do know the Dr. will be in:burnout: Tom

I will be there... but it is the last day that my inspection is good for:-\ Tom

yes.... yes you should... I will alert the media tom

hell I will get up early for the pines, but I would much rather get up late:grin: What time u wanna meet up?? Also, who is gonna lead us through that laborinth?? Tom

So we are gonna do another run next weekend right?? Lil mini meet? Tom

i figured as much... You don't get that much water in the car w/o frying something Tom

great!! Yea one of these weekends we should make a mini run... I wasn't able to make it to apple pie hill which I really would like to see... Tom

yeah she is back on the road again... Now it is just straightening out the front bumper so everything lines up properly again... BTW I got a blower motor and a driveshaft for it... Now I need that sticker we talked about... Oh and Hocrest is gonna hook me up with those leathers too. Lift kit comming soon as I stop buying every legacy I can find... might pick up another SUS... nice white limited... and Mike is getting a red outback this week... Tom

Thanks man... i will prob just make my own considering the price and availability... not to mention... I like fabricating.... If you could tell:rolleyes: Tom

Hey Nipper, got a link for that lift kit?? I am really thinkin about putting the SUS up a little higher Tom

ha, you get the idea... Tom

I will have a new clutch for the next run so I won't smoke it pulling Jeeps out:-p I figured the Dr. SUS had more torque than anything else out there... Might as well be the one to pull it:banana: Tom

Neo just left... ECU was dripping water out of it...lol The SUS lost the radiator tho so I had to trailer it back to the shop... Putting a new one in now Tom

Still up in the air about it, I will call you if we decide to go out.... Tom

Pencil me in for a couple hrs... gotta be back here around 5pm Tom

This was a budget build. We bought the SUS to flip it. When we realized we didn't have enough money to fix the 2.5 in it... We made the ultimate decision to use a spare engine/trans/harness we had here to make it work. Now it is a passion and I refuse to sell it.... SO after the *tree* we rebuilt the front end and got a new set of more appropriate rubber... Pics below Before After The headlight is a little tweaked on the pass side and I need to mess with some alignment on it..> I also need the two piece healights still to make everything kosher, i am also in the market for a new bumper cover BUT this will do for now to get everything lined up and set Tom

thought the headlights were different?? The SUS has two piece clear lense lights Tom
