Tires?
I think the biggest size you can get on a stock suby rim is 185-80-13. If you went pug or chevy wheel you can get into other rhelms. I dont advise getting douglas tires. I know Falkin and Goodyear make good 13inch tires still. Give them a look.

Its different here. You cant get legacys around here for 500 bucks for less them 300000 miles on them.

Not pug impressed
Not sure exactly whats going on here. Ill finish up other wheels and get those rear disc brakes on. I think this is why i couldnt get the center cap on the passanger side rear wheel mick. The brake drum is different then the one on the driverside. It sticks out more.

Should I buy it?
So i guess mine is an ea81 as well, even thought it was made in 88 Sorry twitch my friend but you are wrong. That is the trim package DL. Made from 85-89. The only new gen wagons to come with the 4 lights instead of the 2 solid ones. They didnt come with tachs either.

trim clips
probally a waste of time, but im needing the plastic clips for the trim running on the bottom side of the rear window as pictured.

Turning. Meaning they basically put it on a lathe and make the surface even again.

OH yea break rotors warp. My wifes caravan rotors were terrrible. You could tell they were warped just buy them sitting on the van. You could se the spots where it was brakeing and not.

Not pug impressed
Ok soooome thing interesting. I go to check out my pugs and i realize why im not likeing them. The pug on the driverside sticks out further then the one on the passanger side. Upon further inspection i see that there are 2 different brake drums on the car. Very strange indeed. Its only tempory until i get the 2 stock ones painted up and put back on. And ive got a set of discs to install on the back so that will get rid of the drum problem. Ill figure it out eventually.

Im working on my factory wheels so i put 2 of my newly aquired pugs on the back. The 1st thing i noticedis that it handles like a go kart. Which is what i wanted. But they stick out so darn far from the wheelwells the visual aspect sucks. tire size is 195-60-14. I like the size wheels the loyale put on his wagon but im not liftin. Whats a guy to do.

Light Bar Concepts; everyones input is welcome...
Can you do something like a factory a bar. Maybe tie something into the subframe and get it away from the body. I think some people might just say, why not mount them to the bumper. Another problem i can see being a problem is blocking the entire grill. Others will chime in. But i do like where your going with this.

Project: Rustoleum on Grandma

-
Project: Rustoleum on Grandma
Yea i was curious about the bedliner thing also. There is a thread on this very subject on this board. It can and does work. It wont fade any faster then any other cheepo rattle can paint job. So maybe he has to touch it up in 5 years. It will still be cheeper then a regular paint job.

im still waiting for the easy part. How are the newer old gen wagons easier.

Yea your right gd its still not operating correctly. It cleared up most of it but it doesnt feel the same as it did so yea going to need replaced. Ill drive it like this for a bit though. Anyone got a writeup on how to replace these things.
