True2Blue

is there anyone close to my new residence? (maple valley wa) i lost contact with my only real buddy (you gotta come visit don i have an auto shop to play in now) on here due to my move. im lookin for some more "local" friends

this is exactly what ill be doing here real soon. i did some research and you can "mod" the d/r with a 4.11 AWD pinion shaft. this lets you run 4.11's giving your engine a break and seemingly more power. i have the link to the build page if needed.. ill be doing as much as i can to give it all the HP the drive train (axles, lift,tranny & diff and whatnot) can handle ADDING AM cams valves & springs 6 angle seat grinds true port and polish turbo (maybe) unless i get a turbo'd obs you get the idea id like to know what ya have in mind. i cant wait to start my build

thats because IF you get pulled over and the cop (doesnt like the way you look or decides to be an a**h:rolleyes:le) inspects your car (modified exhaust is illegal in the state of Washington) and decides to give you a ticket for your modified exhaust you will most likely fight it go to court and hand the judge your paperwork/receipts of the modified exhaust done by a professional shop which in turn they get the hammer for performing illegal modifications on automobiles in the state of Washington. its not likely but it can happen it happened to me with my brat although i did the work myself i got a ticket for having a modified exhaust. (i do my research on auto and gun laws here in wa by federal state county and city levels) as for helping you with the exhaust... your best bet is to acquire a o2 sensor on CL (i dont know about on usmb but part yards around here are cheap) match a "nut" to the sensor then mark your spot with the exhaust "hooked up" where there will be no interference, drill it out weld nut over hole and wala you have a o2 bung. i know you already know how to do it i dont mean to insult you but where i was going (i dont suspect you have a welder) is mark it and take it to a weld shop the rest is hstory

oh im not down grading i just need the hatch space for work (tools) so shallows are goin in:grin:

yes Miley ann cannaday was born june 22nd well the guy said i can buy it back (he sold the stereo and took the lights out?) i want it but im hesitant... i love it but i have more expensive wants and he SOLD THE STEREO:eek: here soon im going to buy a 96-98 outback sport lift it with a dual range (put better WAY stronger bumpers on it which means some crazy tube bumpers that will make the local yota owners jealous, small roof rack and some Nice hella or kc lights up top, nice stereo without 150lbs of subs, snorkle and waterproof the engine, and some mudders)

no i moved out. im at a place on lake sawyer in black diamond/maple valley right now. i know ill see ya again. i have a few ideas for projects lined up that will be a must see. so are you looking to lift your wagon?

doin good. my deployment got canceled after i moved out so now im in maple valley. just got a job at an auto shop here too. a guy that had made plans (two years) to open a shop had his buddy bail on him, he found my resume so now im opening it with him. Matco is stopping by the shop today and once cash flow is good im all subaru. how have you been? oh i made a website check my new 2nd home out (the shop) konictechnology.webs.com

what more do you have to do?

in a few months ill be lifting a obs. best way to lift it is put it on a lift/jacks and drop everything (front and rear suspension, engine/cross member and tranny) moch up spacers and see if you like it youll be able to see what you need to do to make it work like extensions to brake lines and steering knuckle. a lot easier said then done but i have found on here its sometimes easier to just get out there and do it instead of internet foul play. i skipped 3 pages cause i got tires of reading after the first since it was an argument... are you trying to lift the rig or beef it up with heavier suspension?

nice ride man.. i love the bumpers!

out by my old place

oh yea! the staters love lifted subaru. i got pulled over all the time "no splash guards" "sounds like my exhaust is modified" "music is too loud" "wheels protrude outside of the fenders more than 2 inches" ive been pulled over for ************ that wasn't even true like a headlight out. not in a million years would you find something like that on my rig (i carry a spare ) i do my best to keep them at bay but they always find something and you rig is a little higher, well it looks like its 8" higher. i hope they leave you alone it sounds like you haven't had a problem (i traveled over 150 miles at times in one stretch, that's alot of different city's and county's with their own set of personal quota to meet) anyways im gonna have to see ur rig some time. when business gets rollin at my shop (ordering a master mechanic set of tools from matco tools on tuesday) ill be making 2 rigs and eventually (in a year or so) a long travel style subaru buggy.

nice! ohh i wonder what the cops are are gonna say/do. do you plan to fix the camber ever?

any new progress pics?

nice i was just sending my helpful links then saw you go it runnin.. awesome progress man

hoping to make it a lax place (be able to give "discounts" to "friends" but business first) opens the 15th. ill be building a few rigs once things get rolling. my old 87 will get a 1.8 powerplant (my way of sayin im going to completely build the 1.8 so it turns the 30's with no problem) (i dont want to ej it) and i have plans to lift a 96-98 outback sport 6" and put a 4.11 dual range trans and rear diff in it (snow rig)

yea kuwait city is full of surprises ill have 2 new subarus when i get home so this isnt over yet:grin: and thanks?

sold for 3k

drop the trailing arms...

easier said than done with no tools and a baby on the way.. i never entered my suby a beauty pageant anyways so as long as it performs im content:rolleyes:

yea cause im going to Kuwait for18 months and its just gonna sit under my pine trees and rust, get moldy, and all that stuff that goes with it. not just that but BILLS... nuff said.. i love this rig to death but life is well, being life:-\

yea i thought that through when i had my tranny out. while laying under the ru i thought of an amazing idea but toold time and money limit me right now... run 2 "tubes" from the crossmember to the mustache bar on the outside of the unibody rails acting as "rock sliders" but really being support for my front and rear bumpers and when i thought of dropping the trailing arm mounts i came up with another crossmember design for the trailing arms so its basically a rear sub frame:rolleyes: we will see how it goes... by that time it will need an ej lol

i bought it lifted and the trailing arms are stock.. the trailing arms are the only thing that are not "lifted" oddly... ill doing my own lift so everything is lined up and spaced out right...

is a 4" sjr:rolleyes: ill be fixing that when i do the 6" lift this year lol and it looks worse than it is in the pics these are 235/75R15 "29 inch tires"

yea HTi makes tough ************ lol and it was nice down here we even saw sun i love the first pic.. my subaru is driving up a mountain side flattening trees (i know im on a little hill and those are just ferns but hey..)
