I think the best solution would be to lift it more! Lift it enough to do the nissan transfer case conversion and put your engine back up to where it belongs. It will be way out of the snow then . Just my 2 cents! Mike

My two cents: Set the parking brake! Rememeber to release it before driving off! Sounds like the Salesperson thinks everyone else is as forgetful as he/she is. Not allowing the gas tank to get below 1/4 tank is a good idea to me. Especially, if it was to sit for a while during temperature changes (cold weather). There is more air inside the tank when it's low on gas, and air holds moisture until it gets cold then the moisture (water) get's in the gas. Aside from the moisture issue, the stuff, gunk, crap, what have you that ends up in the bottom of the gas tank is more diluted when there is more gas in the tank. Also, keep in mind that your car is pretty new and that this is being a little anal. Sounds to me, from the way you asked the questions, that you are all ready pretty knowledgable yourself about cars. Or at least you have pretty good common sense! Mike

How does one become a member??? My hatch says HATCH__TROL across the windshield (the "P"&"A" fell off) but I doubt that makes me a member. Mike

No Problem Zap! I'm going to go ahead and register the car this week and keep it. It's really a lot of fun. Besides, I need a daily driver/weekend warrior while I'll build up my new beast! Mike

No Fair!!!! How did you get to go to SEMA????

It's mine no more...... I'm sure you've got some plans up your sleeve to roll up to WCSS7 with a beast even larger than the XT6 I built. Huhh, Huhh, Huhh?????? Don't keep us in suspense too long. Mike

Sorry, I can't be of much help with the problem your speaking of. I bought mine for $120 with a whole in the block big enough to stick your hand in and a connecting rod hangin out! That's why I'm doing an engine swap. The shaking steering wheel sounds like an alignment/tire balance problem to me. Yes, Soob power would be cool! Mike

How in the world could two people have the same idea on this one????!!!!!???? I have a 1989 Dodge Raider, which happens to be a Mitsubishi Montero. And, I'm trying to horse trade an EJ22 to put in it!!! If I can get the engine, I'm planning on using a Dual Range EA82 Tranny and a Nissan Transfer case. Now that the adapter for the dual range tranny is all figured out, this would be an excellent combination. My back up plan is to stuff a 4.3L V6 in the Raider, but powering it with a subie motor would be sooooooo different. Glad to see there are other crazy people out there! Mike

Nah, ft-lbs is just fine. Anyone have more data on the EJ22???? Mike

Hello all, I tried searching the board for HP ratings for different models of Subaru Ratings. Does anyone have the HP and Torque Ratings for the following engines: EA81 ?HP ?FTLB EA82 ? ? ER27 ? ? EJ18 ? ? EJ22 ? ? Thanks in advance, Mike

I bumped up the ad in the marketplace for this car. Last chance to buy it or trade for it! http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=23946

Heck Yeah Rick! I'd love your help too! Whatever I end up doing, it's going to be a bitchin' little trail rig! Mike

Actually Jared, I can't remember exactly what your planning for your rear suspension. I'll send you a PM with what I'm thinking about doing now! Mike

Listed the car in the Marketplace section! Mike
