Questions about a lift
Yes it does, the c/v angles will still be quite harsh on the components.

Been a while since i've been on here....
Sounds like the rear diff was probably rebuilt thinking that would cure the torque bind the tranny has, and when it didn't fix it the driveshaft was removed again. I've pulled the driveshaft to trade off a gen1 legacy with torque bind before without it being noticed. I wouldn't give more than 500 for it definately. Because even if I'm wrong in assuming torque bind to begin with, its most likely got it now due to the d/s being gone.

1983 ea81t gl wagon build
The 84 turbo wagon I parted out years ago did not have power mirrors, but one that was in the junkyard about the same time did. Check your wiring is the best way to tell.

Shift lock due to blown fuse or other cause? Brake lights out too
86BRATMAN replied to mountainwalker's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXCommon problem on some of the newer ford cars. We stock the brake light switches at work, sell at least 3 a month.

I must have air trapped somewhere
Another thing to consider is the age of the rubber lines. Check them out for signs of fatigue. I had to do them on my mk2 supra back over the summer.

Block heater question.
86BRATMAN replied to cal_look_zero's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXjust out of curiosity, where on the block does the element live? I found the plug in for the heater a few weeks back when I was putting a headlamp bulb in my 97 legacy just never traced it anywhere.

Lowering a BRAT - Options?
either way you've stated works, I'm not sure about 2wd struts dropping it that much. I got 2 out of 2wd with a coil cut off. plenty of info on here tho, just search it up, some of my old treads have some info there too

AWD not working
86BRATMAN replied to mikec03's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI've also seen the front speed sensor or the one in the guage cluster cause the car to not have awd if its an automatic trans.

Engine swap question
86BRATMAN replied to mdjdc's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXUse the sensors off of the outback, I've done a 91 into 95, both ej22's. The problem you're going to face is the egr system, as its non-existant on the 92.

calculating the difference in width.
86BRATMAN replied to lesstutrey's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI realize I haven't read everything there is on lifting a subaru, but I've never seen anything that says it makes the wheelbase narrower.

h4 h1 conversions
I have been using vvme.com for my HID's for about 3-4 years. I ran the 55w once, and the bulb burnt out in one of the within 5 months. The 35w kit I have in my supra has been there since early 09 with no problems.

Emergencey: Stolen Legacy Seattle!
seems like subarus have been a target lately, there was a guy on legacy central that had his stolen, recovered, and stolen again before the tow truck arrived. Zap's son's impreza, and now yours. I hope she makes a safe return, I feel for you.

1992 Legacy EJ22: Odd problem with the heating blower (a/c)
86BRATMAN replied to stickedy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDealers around here would never do something like that. Sounds like something one of the backwoods shops would do.

I wonder?
miata shocks can fit ea81 cars as well
-
Does this work?
yes, they will work, but spring rate will make for an old ride as the front springs will be substantially higher than the rear torsion bars. A work around for this is to purchase miata front shocks, and ea82 top hats for the rear, declock the torsion bars and let the springs do the work.

Lifted Imp: The Swag Wag
For future reference, a better way to remove the lower ball joint without the pickle fork is to use a hammer and hit the edges of the lca after you take the joint nut off. Been doing this for a while and though they can be stubborn and require some pounding at times you'll save your ball joints from damage. And if you're worried about damaging the lca, use a brass hammer.
