if you want the spray paint to hold up, you might as well do it right.use one covering coat of primer, then paint, then i would highly recomend putting a coat of krylon crystal clear (clear coat).this will protect the paint somwhat, because the scratches will be absorbed by the clear coat.let each coat harden in the sun, or it will be too soft, and scratch with anything.you probly know all this, but i just felt like writing it. good photoshopping, and it should turn out pretty sharp and pissed off looking:grin:

ohh, just never had one go on a sube, but i guess it could be if they have cooling channels.

yea, i try to stay away from mud now.a friend of mine w/ a 05 nissan titan took his air cleaner completely out to see if it would make more hp, and while off roading, it took in some mud, now the motor is siezed:-\ his warranty was also voided.i always run the brat w/o an air cleaner anyway......looks like you guys had alot of fun at the barrens, wish i could of made it. Paul, is that the turbo wagon you picked up?looking good. let me know if you still want that airdam take care guys, Jon

is it blowing smoke out of the exhaust?if so, what color? really white smoke= headgasket

i`d say your best bet would be a forester 2.5 5sp manual awd, but thats what i like, it depends on your decision

i missed the forester:banghead: it was a 2000 with the s package for $1800, but i waited too long.i bet harry`s wouldn`t charge more than $120 dollars for everything, but you would have to pull it yourself.take care, Jon

the bolts usually are rusted to crap.you can cut the bolts or break them if needed, the springs are separate pieces anyway.i just took the pieces of the bolts to my local hardware store and matched them up with new ones.

hi i`d be interested if it was cheap:) would it be possible to get some pics?email is on its way.thanks Jon

ohh.....whoops, disregard my last post

YES big time when i was a kid, this lady gave me $12 to pull a whole set of studded snows, boy that was the hardest earned 12 bucks i ever made! you have to lift it now that you got the pugs check out these pics Jon

thanks Matt, i will try getting the tranny and diff out of that outback.actually, the outback is in your neck of the woods (Harry`s upullit).thanks Jon

thanks for the info subeman i wonder if the forester axles will fit in an outback diff? i did also find a 02 forester tranny, but it is listed as being different from a 99???? thanks Jon

i found a cheap 99 forester that needs a transmission, but the only local trans i can find is out of a 99 outback.they are both automatics.would the outback tranny bolt up the same?any info is appreciated Jon

i think he`s talkin a 70`s cvcc motor for its simplicity.i used a 78 cvcc as a fields vehicle for the longest time, and the drive train was bullet proof.sadly, i let it sit during the winter, and when i started it, the timing belt broke.an early 80`s toyota 1.8 wouldn`t be a bad choice either, it would be rwd, and there are tons and tons of mods available for them.my friend has one that will pop the front wheels of the ground on hard takeoffs:) whats wrong with using a stock 1600 ea71, or another sube motor so you can keep the 4wd??they aren`t power houses, but neither were the old cvcc`s.

if you ever want to sell the rims that are on it, let me know:brow: changing motors is really overrated, its really a piece of cake (or pie), for your first motor, just take the time to do it right.lifting it is the hardest part, i would recomend a hoist or a helping hand if you are a small guy.when removing the replacement motor at a junk yard, just cut everything, and don`t take anything off the motor, it makes it alot easier to install.i can answer most questions you may have, as i have done many motors in the past few years.good luck with your desicsion, -Jon

i`m with calebz on this one fifteen hundred or less

do ya want to sell the old wheels? that is a beautiful car.i don`t think subaru made a 2.1 liter, but you could put a 2.2 liter in there.they are stock in the 90-94 legacys.you would need to do some cutting to get it in there.personally, for simplicity i would go with a ea81 and a weber, it should have no problem pushing 31 inchers... well it is a sube so its not going to be a power house, but good enough. -Jon

so a 99 into a 98 should work......right? thanks for the replies guys Jon

will a 99 outback 2.5 dual cam eng. fit in a 98 forester 2.5 w/o modding?if modding is needed, what has to be done?my uncle asked me, but i am not real farmiliar with newer subes engine wise.his has a blown head gasket, and he picked up a obw motor w/ only 60k real cheap.any help is appreciated, Jon

oh yea at the end of the tour at HP when they give out free chocolate, don`t forget to hold 2 hands out, you will get 2 bars and it works every time:brow:

i just got back from harry`s today.i bought 2 seats for the brat, and a few other parts for my other cars.there was tons of subies there.i didn`t see a gen 1, but there is indeed a couple of turbo wagons.there was only one brat that was pretty shot.a couple coupes/legacys/loyales/ect.if we had more room, i would have pulled a couple motors.there was a real nice 2.5 w/ only 60k.most of the older ones were missing carbs.i bet there was over 75 subes in the yard.i did find 3 complete rupp minibikes along the way:) thats why there was no room for motors:-\ later, Jon

i know Andrew (wagonsonly) was down there yesterday, but i think he said he was driving skips old turbo wagon.

what he said! the only one i know of is in Reading PA.it is in this 79 yr old mans abandoned junk yard.i went there a few months ago and bought a few boxes of 360 parts.the ff1 or 1100 was complete, but rusted beyond repair.seemed like a waste of all the cars in there.

hi its all on this page: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/5360/main.html there is also a web message board thier.wouldn`t hurt to put the wanted ad there also. -Jon
