oh my, its beautiful! DCCD going in as well?

if you ever cross the border next season, i'll take ya on in a celebrity wagon:brow:

yeah, its a sign.... although if its really cold out and the engine isnt warm, a little judder is normal. once warm it should go away, or else you've got an appointment to make....

jack up and try it out. if you cant get them on, they dont fit...... if you can, jack all wheels off ground, car in neutral, and spin to see if they rub. wheels are as diverse as tires, so some 16"s may, some may not.

ford makes 4wd trucks. you just gotta order the right packages and what not. and no, your axles won't hold all of that load. they will break eventually. if its a turbo baja, they will snap sooner.

yeah, c&d's long term lgt (05) had an early clutch change (<30k) perhaps this is a problem? my clutch is almost gone at around 130k fwiw...

biggest problem is that the all the halfshafts and drivelines are designed to accommodate a small portion of the engine power. converting to rwd you would probably want new axles that can handle the power of the engine. modify the engine any and you would need these. besides, why? rwd trucks are pointless. and i remember reading that scc article. and iirc, they needed to do the above (it was in one of those box thingys). one of the japanese drift squads runs rwd wrxes, but they use skyline rear diffs and beefier axles too.

yeah, it is! $700 at the dealer, because they drop the engine. (my mom has one) mazda cx-7 is available with awd. the cx-9 is the 7 passenger one, though (also available with awd). i haven't been back to my former employer to drive one yet... mazda mpv is dead. it was nifty though, roomy and comfy. 1st gens had awd. but the ones with sliding doors never had it. mazda 5 really doesn't have that much space, and getting to the back row will take off your kid's head. although a frat did use one as a party shuttle before. that was hiliarious...

umm...did you get the cruise control cable, throttle body, and actuator? those are sorta important. beyond that, i dunno anything about the electronics (i hate that stuff) edit: nevermind, other thread found

hondas resale higher than subarus? since when? (seriously, kelley blue book has a lgt limited beating an accord ex v6 with same options) ok, back to your concerns. the turbo will add some value to the car and will help make it resell a little easier, but it won't offset the cost differential in the long run. and if you are just gonna drive it like a normal car, you're better off with the na model. no premium needed (the turbo requires premium, no bypassing that), no worries about sacrified reliability, maintainence is similair to the one already in your driveway...it's the wiser of the two

eh, it's only a tire tech, not a subaru tech....

thats what i thought when it happened the first time. balanced front tires, and still rough vibrations:mad:. before this point, i rotated the tires so the offending one was in the back. turns out, once i took off the wheels one night trying in desparation to find out why the vibrations were occuring and started to roll them along the pavement, one started to hop. the tread was peeling off the belts in one spot (looked kinda like a blister or a hernia). in fact, i still have one on the car, waiting for sears to get a replacement in...

I bet you a package of cookies that its a tire. this has happened twice on mine (michelin weatherwise). Its a front tire. here's what you do.... 1. jack up car 2. remove a front tire (i start with driver's side) 3. replace with spare tire 4. unjack car and drive around the block. let go of steering wheel to see if it pulls in any direction. repeat for the other tire if the shimmy and pulling to one side is still present. unfortunately, you will need to dish out for another tire unless you still have receipts

there was a twin turbo jdm legacy (95-99, i think 2.0L, but not sure), but you shouldn't get it as one of those turbos is right where the steering column is. and then, whats the point? eg33 is a good way to go. no lag, and have you heard one of those all wound up? intoxicatingly beautiful

well, it isnt so much dependent on the engine as it is dependent on the body. an OBS (impreza) exhaust on a legacy wont work, as you would need to reroute some pieces and redo hangers and just isn't cost effective (heck, it might not even be long enough to exit out the back)
