Going down steep hill (35 degrees or so), Heavy slush, First gear as at the bottom of the hill is an intersection/stop sign. Never topped 5 mph, and I still managed to just slide right by the stop sign and the state trooper, no ticket though, he knew I was trying. Would simply kicking it into neutral have worked better and disable ABS? I'd feel more confident know I can simply kick the shifter forward and have full lock up when needed than disabled the ABS permanently by pulling the fuse. (I did that last winter, still better than having it, but its the other side of the coin.)

Wooo http://www.race-dezert.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23708 Made it all of 70 miles.

I seem to remember a WRX being entered, although it didn't get very far. I can't seem to find much information on it now though.

If you can get it to Morgantown, WV (about an hour and a half) there is an excellent shop here. They got me a new engine, completely rebuilt and installed for 2K. A bit far though, too bad Imps can't fit in the back of a pick up. Looking at the map now, it is really far. I can still try to help if you'd like, but theres probably something closer if you look hard enough, there needs to be a site that reviews shops.

Yeah, BB's worked fine. It's actually a cheaper version of some 'auto balancing' system that fits on the hub. Look it up, it works. I never heard them over the roar of the tires.

Mine had a balance problem at interstate speeds, but I poured some BB's in them and it seemed to fix the problem.

27" swampers fit on mine no problem I never got around to lifting it, probably never will. It gets along just fine without a lift on the farm and I've had my eye on a bronco II for the stuff that tears vehicles up.

I sold my swampers and have been biking to the scenery.

The oil hasn't warmed up yet!?

00, tiny brakes. For a long time, I did most of my driving on the interstate, but my situation changed and I've been driving in Morgantown 90% of the time now. It EATS brakes now. The entire town is built on a hill, and the traffic is ridiculous. Before pads lasted me 50K, but now I've got 25K on them and they're pretty much metal on metal. I guess the benefit is I'm not spending as much on gas, since I'm not putting nearly the miles I used to. (I was over 30K a year at one point.)

I've only found one mechanic that seems like he's worth his own shop, the rest just find ways to con you. Or don't do their job at all.

What about the tranny rear crossmember? it might need some extending or something or a weird shaped pan, but it seems stout enough since its holding the tranny in place.

Yeah, what I'm afraid of. I can't get a solid answer from the Lift Makers themselves on what to do about lifting it.

I think I might take some measurements too, to know how different the full size legacy differs from the impreza, since you're running my struts I can't figure they're much different.

I'd pay a solid 600+ for a 4 inch lift. Espaically if it was really well made/designed as is everythign on Scotts site.

I still want to know how these guys did it:

So what degrees would a lift from the top of the strut need in order to keep camber close to stock? I know on an EA it's 23 degrees isn't it? Any different on an EJ?

I'm still wanting to know what it would take to fit a 2000.

So basically a piece that you bolt the strut to and then bolt the piece to the hub? Extending it? That sounds ridiculously simple.

Dunno, I was told I would have to use a different strut housing or something via PM with someone else, but they haven't responded and I figured I'd just ask publicly.

What would this take to fit onto a 2000 Outback?

I've been looking for a lift foreverrrrrrr for the Lesbaru. I would like some more info on Scott's, everyone keeps saying they're working on lifts but no one ever says its quite ready.. Something quick and dirty would work well, as everyone else seems to be running their axles pretty steep without issue. Guess there isn't as big of a demand as everyone on the forum wants you to believe.

What about removing the crossmemeber and welding some flat plate to it, then drilling holes in it for mounting?

Why not just get a non venting can instead of screwin with teh car? You can carry a sealed one in the car just fine, I've done it before and didnt smell any gas, but it was only for about 30 minutes so I dont know how it would be for the long haul. Besides, when you open one of those it sounds liek Darth Vader is jumping out at you.

I can confirm 15's fit up to 00, in 01 they they got larger discs, and grinding of the caliper is required to fit them.
