i put a bosal "brospeed" flow thru muffler on my 87 wagon, kept 1 cat (at the y pipe) and it has a very mellow throbbing STI-ish sound to it. i love it, the XT6 i just bought has a flowmaster on it, and i don't like it nearly as much, doesn't give you that signature soobie sound . . .:cool: my.02 chris

my vote would be to let a pro do it, a windshield that's not installed/sealed correctly can lead to high wind noise, water leakage, or worse- this: clickeypics rust on my west coast RX caused by a poor windshield install

happy b-day edrach!!! meant to say thanks too for the axle removal writeup that you were in on, followed the directions, axles came out . . . what a concept!!! chris

I GOT MY WHEELS TODAY :banana: :banana: test fitted 'em and everythings a go! now to order tires . . . clickey pics: these are ADR Flight 5's 17x7 w/a +42 offset (so they come flush to the side of the car ) Got 'em new on fleabay for $200 and shipping (thats a total, not each ) mini update: axles are out of the car, should be getting boot kits today or tomorrow. going to go stalk the pull-a-part for a pair of EA82 4wd rear struts and a pair of front leggo/impreza struts . . . need to find a good deal on hub centering rings from 56.1 to 73.1 if anybody knows a good place for those . . . i love this car :cool: chris

Welcome to the USMB Nick . . . anybody that can be part of makin' a yaris look reasonably good deserves some respect no judgment here, just a lot of really cool, really real (my gr8 engrish shines through), and experienced folks. as long as somebody doesn't log in with a chip on their shoulder, they aren't going to have one when the log off!! chris

should've known you'd have it figured out already. "D/R it" baby!! chris

the lug spacing looks smaller than 4x140's, maybe he's got a 4xsomething adapter (?)

ahh misery loves company . . . glad to read i'm not the only one to do this, sure did make me feel like a 'tard though digit's making a full recovery, didn't even need to sever it chris

where ya getting the dual range for an EJ?! chris

where'd he get those 4 lugs from, they don't look re-drilled . . .

i just did it on my XT6 today, may i humbly suggest that you don't let the diff just drop on your hand :dead: :dead: :dead: :eek: :eek: :eek: " *%^@# " i now have two disconnected drive lines (4 if you count the front) and one very puffy and colorful finger chris

some pics from todays fun . . . as always it was great to see/meet everyone, i can't say enough about how cool our little subie community is no drama, no competition, no gross displays of stupidity. today was just fun. :cool: click-on-pics in no particular order . . . of course i've gotta throw a pic of my two favorite ladies in here

looks great!! i really like the green, makes me want to take it to the woods and hide chris

Thank you, my caliper (measurement device) isn't too accurate, so thats a huge help!!! and Rob, thank you, as always!! chris

An Update . . . Picked up the XT6 last week and brought it home. The drive home was fairly uneventful (thank goodness) except for the on-again off-again vibration in the steering wheel caused no doubt by the bad axles at each corner. Aside from that, no noises, i was able to get the suspension up enough to make the ride comfortable, and i got to have a little fun with its torque As of today, she's up on stands (all wheels removed) so that tomorrow i can begin pulling axles (pre soaking pins with penetrating liquid overnight). i've got all 8 boots coming (b.t.w. rockauto is closing out some beck arnley boot kits for cheeeeep!), a new set of 17" wheels coming :banana: and i purchased just about all the interior/exterior parts she needed. i do have a coupla questions though, any help would be greatly appreciated . . . 1) i seem to have a long time and decent volume fluid seep/leak on the drivers side of the lower engine. i can't tell if it's oil (and if so, from where) or power steering fluid, or other (?) my best guess is to look at the farthest point forward on the engine that has fluid slicks and gunk buildup as the main culprit . . . in this case, there seems to be a lot of oil leaking from the timing belt cover area around the oil pump. when an oil pump needs to be resealed/replaced, where does it usually leak from? there's also a lot of gunk buildup around where the steering column goes into the steering rack, is this a usual area of leaking, or is it just "blow-back" from the oil pump area? the drivers side boot on the steering rack seems to be particularly encrusted, is that a clue? 2) is the blue wire for the recall supposed to be plugged into the wiring harness near the drivers front strut? i've heard yes and no, and at the wrecking yard, i've seen it plugged in . . . (maybe thats how it ended up there ) 3) i want to get hub-centric rings for the new wheels i purchased, i measured the hub hole's outside diameter at 60mm, is that correct? 4) is the exhaust "y-pipe" on the xt6 as notorious when it comes to re-attaching it as the other EA82 types are? should i avoid removing it because of stud issues or exhaust leak issues? 5) is this the cooolest car ever or what?!!!! thanks chris

Hey MIKEY, where's your dirt bike buddy? besides, my head is wwwaaaayyyyy bigger than his, just look at the pics!!! :rolleyes:

And then I arrived back home in Everett to find this . . . Which led to this What a day!!! Welcome to Western Washington- where they say, if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes and it will change :cool:

One Eye, myself and my g.f. decided that our poor subietanks had been used for daily driving wayyyyy too much lately, and that we needed to remind them of what soobs were really meant to do . . . The culprets . . . clickey pics who is this sexy guy??? The D.D's (aka, subietanks) The Videos chris
