  1. Yeah, that would be sweet, but only if it's good.
  2. Has anyone made any progress on these? I'm sorry to say, although I knew it was coming, that my wagon's dash died this morning. I need help and would like to keep mine intact and fix it using other's knowledge.
  3. Wow, thats a lot of work. I'm glad to see you sticking with the project instead of tossing it after you found the bad parts. This is the best thread this board has seen in years!
  4. Small update: I believe this part to be the Air Temperature relay. Once I have my hands on a spare, I will confirm.
  5. I'n not sure that engine is going to fit. Pretty sure our car doesn't have a 4 port exhaust. The engine is listed as fitting in coupes and sedans, not wagons. It's a thought though. Besides,I see moosens has bid on it.
  6. Still tons of good, useable, SELLABLE parts on those cars. I say get 'em, part 'em and chop 'em. Is that a rust hole in the ROOF?!?!
  7. Oooooo, purdy! I like samis, but don't think I'll ever get one. I realized I like to go fast more than go anywhere.
  8. I'm amazed at the lack of response. You'd think that on a Subaru message board, no less the ULTIMATE subaru message board that people would be fanatical about the only legitimate factory racing our beloved company does.
  9. I think you can just put in the RX diff. I did the opposite on my T-wagon, legacy VLSD into EA81 body and didn't have to swap stubbies. I assume the reverse is also possible.
  10. That is an awesome idea. I'm in for a few of everything!
  11. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=007&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=170195448146&rd=1
  12. No. Paul didn't get it. It's just too expensive, for me at least and I assume that's why nobody else has bought it yet. Although there is a similar bumper on ebay for the same price, unless that one is this one.
  13. Yeah, what Rob said, hen's teeth...;) [IMG]http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/data/500/medium/Turbo_Brat_007.jpg[/IMG]
  14. You will gain mechanical grip with the wider tires, but acceleration, braking and the ability of the tire to follow road irregularities will decrease with heavier wheels.
  15. I bought a kit and it has lasted the 25 miles that I have since put on the car.
  16. I would agree with Turbone. When our cars were made, Subaru was still a VERY small company. If they could build one car with five different rear ends (Read EA81: Hatch, sedan, coupe, wagon, brat) they would. Which makes me wonder why they would make a bunch of XT specific parts for a turbo engine that was in four different body styles? My guess is that your old engine had an EA81T pipe on it and your parts engine had its original crossover pipe. This would fit with my experience between the two; and I have had both side by side before, sorry no pics.
  17. Besides adding unsprung weight and rotational inertia to your suspension, no it won't hurt anything. Might hurt the ride a bit from trying to get those heavy rims to follow road irregularities, but it will be functional.
  18. So we should keep our stock FPR and put the new one in the fuel system after the factory one?
  19. I don't think there are enough people on this board using RRFPRs to really be about to determine a "most popular brand." I have a Jackson Racing ARRFPR, but haven't installed it yet. It was suggested to me that I remove the factory FPR and replace it with the new one, but it is integrated into the fuel system hard lines. Haven't decided how to get around this problem on my EA81T.
  20. Really you should just give it to me so I can complete my EA81T collection! On a more serious note, I think that the 4 speed can integrated in a seamless manner. Factory 4 speed console, etc. Nobody but a subie nerd would know the difference. The alloys are so rare at this point that you should just put on whatever you can get your hands on. Then give it to me!!!:cool:
  21. Whos been keeping up with the results? I was listening to WRC radio all day today!
