  1. I have Kunhos on my lifted rig and they are just fine, but when they wear out or if I end up selling them, they will be replaced by Swampers, period.
  2. I haven't had any problems with Schucks either. I know some of the people who work there and if I don't I can still generally find what I need. I will agree however that NAPA is a much better store. Unfortunatly I'm on one side of Bellevue while the only NAPA around is on the other side of town while I have two Schucks within 5 minutes of my house.
  3. I wouldn't dare remove the engine on my EA81T to replace the clutch. There is just too much crap connected to the engine to make it worth my while. Plus I've done it by pulling the tranny quite a few times. Now if I had a carb'ed EA81 I would probably pull the motor.
  4. Wagonpowaa and I recently got back from a trip and while we were driving his brat we noticed what I thought was some nasty clicking from his axles. We replaced his axles but the noise is still there. Now, he did get his brakes done and was in the shop a few times to make sure the job was done correctly (the e-brake still has issues). We were wondering if anyone has had similar problems with their gen one cars. It definatly sounds like a pair of bad CVs, but it obviously isn't. It goes away when he steps on the brakes and the pads DO NOT have any silencing goo on the back. Could this pe brake noise after all? Please help us as this noise is not only loud and obnoxious, but pretty scary to hear while driving. Thanks for any advice you can give!
  5. The 3rd eye is rare, but not rare enough to buy a car over. Plus they can be retrofitted to other cars like I did.
  6. With the hatch having a shorter wheelbase and shorter overhangs, I would definatly say hatch. Also having the bulletproof EA81 for at least a little while would be one less thing to worry about on the trails.
  7. I'm pretty sure that in the US at least, WRXs have a 3.900 rear end.
  8. Spark and Austin, I'm down just tell me when and where.
  9. Spark, I think this thing has fallen apart without you. Sorry about the H2 thing...
  10. I think your going to be a guinea pig for this one since I don't think anyone on this board has done anything like that yet.
  11. On my buddy's 82 brat (1800cc) and another friend's 80 brat (1600cc) we noticed a big increase in low end power. They drive the car everyday so they can give you more information.
  12. If you didn't bend anything else (Which you should check for) it should be very easy to replace.
  13. So, since the show is coming up soon, and Zap just offered a discount on entry for caravans, how many people are planning on joining? Also, have we decided on specific meeting time and place?
  14. God, I really want an XT6!!! Why does the closest one look so low? Conventional struts and springs?
  15. I will be there in my wagon with my old man and maybe the rest of my family. Might bring the lifted hatch, but it looks doubtful.
  16. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the power window system for EA82s? Need to compair it to the wiring in my wagon.
  17. That sure is a sick looking car! I wish subaru had gotten wise to the performance needs of us here in the US back in the day. Think of all the amazing cars that we could have bought!
  18. Hahaha, I already cut that out! I'd like to mount my gauges higher on the console, but I don't think the stereo will clear the brackets and stuff behind the radio box.
  19. What I mean is will the CD player fit in the lower half of the slanted console or just the top?
  20. Would you be able to score any parts off that EA81T for me?
