Does this happen every Wed Night at 7? If so, is it getting too crowed or is there room for 1 more?

Are you guys going to have a CB or something with ya? If so what channel? I am going to be in Palm Springs of Washington this weekend (Yakima) and was thinking about poping up there. Any way to get ahold of you guys? If not I see you're from bellingham, we should meet sometime and go for a short trail run or something.

Scott - Up just past Glacier there are some good trails. They don't get used much too much so bring a chainsaw. Plus if you like old mines there are some pretty spectacular ones. Also up off of the Mosquito lake road, pass the one way bridge, there are some simple hill climbs. There are countless other trails on Sumas and Black mountain that if you can get keys to gates are fun. I found the best way to get keys is to offer to pack out trash! I have been able to get a key for almost every area just by packing out trash and not riding on freshly replanted areas. Also if you like road trips we go to some places West of Yakima, Nachias? I never looked at the spelling of the name. Monstaru – I don’t know if I will make the Subaru show but I will probably make it over to Spokane soon. Would love to see the Monstaru! You ever get that old chev running? And what is this screwdriver you speak of?

Have any of you noticed cracked windows that start in the corners of the windshield and come out roughly at a 45 degree angle? Ever since I lifted it and started off-roading these cracks have appeared. I am assuming this is due to body Flex sooo… Has anyone put in sub-frame connectors to try to stiffen the body up at all? If so, did you set them up in the body pan (cutting involved) or just leave them flush with the bottom?

Cool, thats kind what I thought, but I was just checking. I was taught that bearings break in / wear differently even if they are same, so if you mix match bearings and races your run a chance of destroying the bearings.

I just completed the LSD swap into a 3.9 and then went back and read the instructions on the USMB. Ended up doing everything right but noticed it doesn't say to pull the outer bearing races for the axle stubs. Have people being doing this or have you'll been getting away with mis-matching the 3.7 bearings with the 3.9 outer races?

I drove for a year without one and didn't notice any additional wear on the mounts. I just added it just 'cause. I cut an EA82 shorter and mounted it to the top of the transmission.

This is going to sound weird, and I dont think others had this problem, but if i remember correctly, there is a diode that is part of the EA harness that had to be cut out, I just wired in a switch otherwise the car would just crank over, no fuel pump and no spark. I dont know if that is your problem or not. Do you have a factory wiring diagrams? I can come down tomorrow and help you locate if need be.

Any places you would suggest to take them? Delta Cams?

What "this" are you talking about? If its a 4.11 or 4.44 gear swap I am just waiting for some free time to break into it. (my new job has got me tied up more than i thought) I have free roam to a great machine shop, so once i get the 3.9 pinion shaft out and can compare it to the 4.11 to know what needs to be milled/grafted ( I honestly haven't seen the two side by side or even a 4.44 so i don't what the differences are)but once i do, I should be rocking and rolling. As far as a d/r rebuild I might as well rebuild everything while the d/r is apart. I haven't called CCR but I will do so tomorrow and see if they have a package they can sell me. If you have any info on where to rebuild these old things that info would be wonderful! The d/r ej "this" is dead, unless a something wonderfull happens and i find a used one with free shipping. Off topic, I will be in spokane the weekend of the 24th, and Barracuda (*sp) be up from something?

Really..... hmmm I will try that, the trans I am currently running I seemed to solve the problem by putting the same gear oil that i use in the rear end of my old jeep (90 - 140 or something like that) Its really thick and doesn't like to shift cold. It made the grinding go away and I haven't seen any adverse effects yet (32,000 miles and counting) but like i said, it doesn't want to shift when its cold, and will not shift fast no matter how hard you pull. I will try your solution out this weekend and see what happens.

I am assuming that Mudrat79 was just going through the dealers to get the needed parts. A1 here in Bellingham told me that that is what they have done in the past, but to do the whole thing will cost twice what the car is worth. I have looked into the junkyard trannys but I must have the worst luck becuase it seem like the two i have tried have the same third gear griding when shifting into problem .

Are the 2.2L heads and the 2.5L heads (single cam) interchangeable? AKA, can you use performance 2.5 cams in a 2.2L?

What options are out there for rebuilding a 5 speed d/r? Do I just have to rip into it and then get part by part from a dealer? I have contacted my local transmission shops and they all say the same thing, "we don't have a supplier for a kit so no, we can't" Anybody have any suggestions?

Hey Scott, I will be back in the area after may 7th for a couple five years. I will go wheel'n with ya whenever you want (finally got the wagon lifted). I got some pretty good places to go so long as my gate keys/combo's still work. Where have you found in Whatcom/Skagit area, hopefully I can add to your list.

A Thank you goes to Shady and the rest of the Crew at Allied Armament, You guys have had awesome service, timely turn around, and great products! Hope you guys keep expanding the line of Subaru accessories even though it's not the biggest money maker.

This might be already posted and I missed it, when would these be ready for sale, is it still a couple months out? Also, does afr stand for air/fuel ratio? If so, is it going to be a wide band or narrow band O2 I am assuming? Something I have added to my analog gauges is an activation of an LED when it reaches a spot in its sweep. Can this be easily done with this application instead of a buzzer or along with a buzzer? Not meaning to complain or criticize, just curious.

Anyone ever thought about organizing a set channel for USMB members to tune to? I know other groups have a set channel they talk on and it make it nice for meeting up, especially where members are more clustered.

Well considering what the options are, your price seems pretty good, and I like the fact that it has a display, so you dont need a laptop to read it. Have you looked into what costs would be to add a data record function?

I would also be verry intersted if it could easily adapted to a V8's needs (aka exhaust temp x 8, etc)

Hey Tex what's a CD? If i remeber right pioneer has one power line (red???) for its lights and a main power (yellow???) that powers everything else? you getting good 12V to all the power imputs? I might be butt rump roast wrong becuase its been awhile since i have worked on a pioneer. Sorry if i am

I have the same problem and went through the same process. I found 90 - 140 gear oil fixed that problem although shifting when it's cold is a little tougher. I have had it that way for about 30,000 miles and no negitive affects yet. (knock on wood)

With more people completing the EA to EJ conversion, I was wondering if anyone has found any reliability problems yet. I have close to 25,000 miles on my conversion and haven't had any problems that I can pin on doing the swap. So, anyone out there with issues from the conversion?

That looks really solid!!! where'd you hide the rest of the deck.... nevermind, should have looked closer

Meridan Perfomance out on the guide towards Lynden, also if you know where Special T is at, just south from them there is a good guy, Sutton Carburator I believe is the name of the shop. I haven't gone to either place for subaru tuning but they do V8's pretty good. MP is probably relying mostly on their dyno now for tuning now but the other company, still does it the old fashion way. Hope this helps. If not send me a PM and I can get you a list of a couple mechanics that might be interested.
