well i think we all know how to get 13-14psi and not hit the fuel cut now, haha, thats one way of findin out.. i think i'll do an intercooler before i run that much tho

we should change the title of the thread as well... this hole thread is mor informational to me than any little wrinky dink website on it.. now i know not to put it in backwards as well although my RX shouldn't hit a fuel cut since its an 85' .. "i don't need no stinking boost cut!"

i'm about 2 hours away from I-95 to the west so my #'s wouldn't do much good..

i'm up for a saturday run at something.. not sure whwere to find anything tho.. i should have the tierodend on the hatch sat morning.. it would prolly be my last 4xing trip in the hatch before it goes to a new home.. i bet i could drag jules along this time cause he can't lay in his driveway and work on his wagon i need to check out the trails i heard about around madison... about 20 min from my house.. and i know where the road is to get to them, just gotta drive out and find'em.. maybe we could do that saturday? gets dark about 5:30 so if we started around noon, it'd give us plenty of time to have fun..

i want some pug alloys like the ones on that black brat.. think they'd look nice on my RX.. anyone know what style or car they came off of?

send some our way, i'd like 3 foot please.. anyways the hatch plowed right through the 7" we have ( i measured it) did great.. was very pleased with it.. especially passin up all the other SUV's

hell my wagons turbo has 290k on it.. still works like new haha... depends on how it was taken care of IMO... i'm gunna keep mine for a spare because i know its still good...

hehe, yesterday they closed schools because it was snowing, and the roads were wet.. wasn't even sticking to the pavement yet.. they also had the plows already out.. i thought to myself if this was colorado, they wouldn't know what to do.. gonna go fire up the hatch here in a few.. we got a good 5-6" in my front yard, hehe.. time to go play on my way to work...

well i had to go play, in the 2+ inches we got now... the RX does pretty good for havin highway tires.. in 4x it burns nice donuts in teh parkin lot, lol that LSD just spins her around.... really slick stuff out there now.. i'm thinkin if it keeps it up tonight we won't be workin tomorrow.. that'll give me more play time, haha..

hehe sorry... and your north of me too :cornfuzz: that doesn't maek sense, ahh well.. i figure i gotta at least pull out one jeep before i let the hatch go to a new home..:-\

works for me, PM comin your way.. if i get the 87 1/2 turbo xt on ebay i might have ya make me another lol... although the wife won't need 12psi of boost...

well we got a good solid 1" so far and its comin down hard... gonna drive the hatch to work tomorrow.. if we have work tomorrow.. we'll see how many jeeps i can pull outa the ditch

heh would ya mind makin me one of them contraptions and ship it to me? I don't have a tap and die set, so it'd cost me more than i'd wanna spend to do it... i've seen those on ebay for about $15 shipped, but would rather get one from someone on the board so i know who put it together.. versus, ed in the bayou in the usa somewhere know what i mean.. lol

ohh another thing, i do know by lookin at my hatch with a weber... the vacuum advance on the distributor hooks straight to the carb.. that will make it run funky if not hooked up cause the disty won't have the correct vacuum.. and yes plug all teh vacuum ports that aren't hooked to anything.. thats a given right

well the xt is 4wd not awd, so i'd have to pull the rear driveline, no biggy.. was just wonderin if a forester would tow it.. guess not hehe.. thanks..

well, personalyl i'd say find a "u-pull-it" yard go out and get a fender, bumper and hood... they all bolt on very easily, nothing really hidden.. if the core support isn't bent too bad you can bolt the new stuff on and it'll hide the bent core support.. if it seems to drive fine, no big shaking or vibrations, i'd say the suspension is fine.. its just sheetmetal that needs replaced... if you were closer to me i'd fix it up in a jiffy.. doesn't look that bad really.. thats the kind of cars i look to buy.. then fix and drive'em another 100k lol... at a u-pull-it yard you could prolly get all the parts for under a couple hundred bucks...

well i know here in VA that a you have to pay SUV taxes on a forester, with an outback you pay the car taxes... SUV taxes are a bit higher... so guess that clasifies the forester as a SUV and the Outback as a car...

just curious if a forester would tow an XT on a dolly?? only goin about 300 miles..

not sure on a soob automatic, but on the big ford the vacuum line runs from the intake manifold to the vacuum modulator on the trans..

check the temp. control sensor. and also the plug on the knock sensor.. the knock sensor if not working or unplugged will make it run like ****.. and the temp control sensor will make it hard to start and run like ****.. just been there done that on the 85' rx.. found that my knock sensor was broken, due to age and heat ... and my disty had mechanical problems.. so i swapped that with a good one for safe measure...

remind me to not post subaru parts and liste them wrong.. i might get zapped

doh, i gotta tear into the ole ford this weekend and do the heater core in it.. that puppy is original and started leakin when i flushed thesystem.. bah...

wanna hear a wierd one... the disty in my 85' rx didn't have a screw to hold the rotor on. it was a grooves slip on kind.. the disty in my 86' wagon has the stupid screw.... go figure..

it sure is good to have skips 'experience" here on the USMB isn't it?

heh take luc with ya and a camera, fix it on his lot and have luc snap his pic when ya drive it off runnin in tip top shape, lol we gotta see that..
