I can just pictue how ugly that grill is going to be. Subaru needs a real SUV, seeing as they already have the outback. I understand they wanted a bigger car, but that thing looks like it would get stuck on a croquet lawn!

Hey, would you mind grabbing those for me and next week or so I can stop buy with wagonpowaa and grab the wheels and tires plus the rear disc set. Thanks!

Im interested in those enkei wheels. Can you post a pick of the style? What kind of condition are they in?

What about for EA81 and EA81T fans? Don't leave us out in the cold!

The valve stems probably need to be replaced.

The only plate I have is the factory one on my 84 wagon. I take that off for oil changes and I listed a link that shows the Primitive Racing plates installed on cars.

I got that sticker off of ebay a while ago. Deathhatch, we should hit the pass sometime over break.

Dude, Peter, I didn't know your sister went to Western!

Yes it is actually threaded. I just saw a draincock on ebay a little while ago. Don't think its there anymore.

I would also go with the 4 speed first, but I really, really, really enjoy having the 5 speed so if you end up not enjoying the car with the 4 speed, by all means put in the five-er!

Bump!

PoorManzImpreza, would yoube able to look into the piston size for the subaru rear discs and the piston size on the bluebird too? It would be great if they were the same size! Also could you look at the pads and see if they're similar? Thanks for any help you can give!

I have the five speed box in my car and it took a tiny amount of grinding to make it clear. I also had to buy the conversion kit from Jerry, bratsrus, to get it to fit. If you don't want to deal with this, just go with the 4 speed.

Do a search, its been covered many times.

No, never had this problem! I think the increase in torque from the lower ratio makes you stick a little more from digging in, but I also think that you just don't have the speed in reverse, so you bog down easily.

I have no idea. But if you want any rig to do better in the sand put taller tires on it, this will make the tire's footprint longer so it will be less likely to dig itself into the sand. But you probably already knew that.

I'll see what I can do!

Look in the marketplace or go over to NASIOC or one of the other new gen forums. There aren't many places online, besides ebay, that I know of that sell OEM wheels for anything.

Snow is the best! Until you dig down to the dirt, then you need to move to find good snow again!

My 84 turbo wagon has vented front rotors. I think all EA81s had vented front rotors from 84 until subaru killed them. The EA81T cars had larger front bars than the rest of the EA81s as well as lower, stiffer suspensions so there isn't much upgrading to be had from that gen. The front bars from an EA82 may or may not fit, I have no idea, but someone with more experience might chime in.

Cool, thanks John!

The skid plate would do the same thing as a splash sheild, but not on purpose, mostly for keeping sharp/hard/pokey things out of your oil pan, etc. Yours does look to be mounted incorrectly, but I would suggest Primitive Racing skip plates because they go back farther than the IPD ones (The IPD plates are wider however). http://www.writerguy.com/primitive/skid.htm Look at the WRX plate

cobbtuning.com They are great! Vishnu tuning makes WICKED hp on WRXs too.

Have a blower sticking through the hood!

Just some fun snow pics from Friday, enjoy! http://usmb.net/gallery/album230?page=3
