as an owner of both vehicles I know the costs associated with each, I breifly looked into lifting my OBW when I first got it, but decided the cost wasnt worth it. I agree with you fully: the impreza is not designed for that sort of thing, fire lanes, snow, yes. I was always one to push the limits of what it was capable of, but when it really boils down to it, it is a street car with very light off road capabilites. However rugbyben was referring to subarus in general, therefore I was pointing out that older ones are perfectly capable of keeping up with the jeeps. not for 2500.00 bucks either. Not to mention they only cost around $400 to begin with, not including the Brat of course.

you obviously haven't been paying attention around here, speaking for the many owners of lifted soobs I can tell you most of us havent come close to the 2500.00 mark. Since you dont own one you prob have no idea what it costs, so please refrain from wild speculation. if you would like to know more I suggest you visit the "older generation of subarus" forum btw I usually refrain from involving myself in the subaru /jeep wars as I think they are both very capable vehicles in the hands of the right driver. However sometimes when people start throwing "facts" out there with nothing to back them up, I can only take so much. oh yeah and you should see what I have done in my impreza.

wow, you woulden't swap to own probably the rarest impreza in the world? thats quite a commitment. wait a minute , yours has a 163.4 mph top speed and can go 0-60 in 4.2s?!?!?!

Subaru: betcha cant pick just one!

dam right! I put em in my 84 wagon two hellas plus two stock horns = REALLY FREAKING LOUD!

lol curb appeal, and picking up jack-in-the-box girls.........

well, i'd say you guys raised the bar a little (no pun intended) looks good!

whoa ! that stuff isn't cheap! how much did the whole job cost, if you dont mind me asking?

I like it, can you get a closeup so we can see details?

Well I am a little confused by your post, you first mention rally, and then start talking about lift kits, 26 inch tires and so on. Rally and off-roading are two different things, for rally you will not need a lift kit and you definatly don't want 26 " tires, the lower center of gravity is crucial for rally racing. If I were you I would ask yourself whether you want to haul rump roast around on logging roads, or drive your car on trails with rocks, logs, bogs, and countess other obstacles. once you figure that out you can decide what modifications you want. btw all the mods you listed would be perfect for offroad, except I would go for an EA-81 and no turbo. anyways welcome to the club!

Eric you big tease, this years show should be interesting (you or Ken have to write some news for the site already!), at least I know some of Mike's secret plans, unless he changed em!

stupid work took it back, and gave me another that I have to leave at work when i leave(grrrrrr!)

Not yet, still debating.... thanks again for it though, I have had I lot of fun with it so far. Already had to make one trip to Les Schwab to get a new tire....heh heh. but they gave it to me for free

thanks guys, Rick you have my house # right? i dont have that cell phone anymore. and yes.... you are a whore;)

I know, but I figured you might still be sleeping, I don't have anything planned for sat, so lets get dirty!! btw that logo is looking AWESOME, so far!!!

I am making a windsheild banner for ATLAS and need the exact width of an EA81 windsheild. I would do it myself except my tape measure seems to have walked off during my recent move thanks in advance NNE

i have owned 3 soobs, but this is the first lifted one, all mods are in my sig, except I also have a welded diff, a weber, and finally got the Hella horns installed. affiliation: ATLAS pics:

[hijack] GD go check your PMs! [/hijack] now back to your regularly scheduled topic:

wow that looks really good! I would do it but it would just get dirty again, my interior loves mud

just got it, that is huge! plenty big for my purposes thanks Brian

Brian or Mick: you guys rock! btw any format will work .ai is ok thanks!

does anyone have a REALLY big high quality image of the old subaru logo? by big I mean something like 1200 by 1200 pixels If you have any please email them to me: sawlid (@) dsl-only (.) net just remove the ) and the ( thanks in advance!

So I meet up with General Disorder and Bugaru and his wife, and we went out mucking around scappoose. Managed to snap a few shots and vids. We had a pretty good run except for me getting stcuk twice and GD breaking first one and then both of his back axels. I thought I had escaped with no damage until on the way back we decided to do a little urban off roading and I had an nice encounter with a huge sharp chunk of concrete. Which tore a 3 inch gash in my sidewall and banged up the rim a little bit. oh well it was worth it. anyway pics are here: http://members.dsl-only.net/~sawlid/atlas/ and here are the movies: http://members.dsl-only.net/~sawlid/atlas/atlas0003.wmv http://members.dsl-only.net/~sawlid/atlas/atlas0004.wmv http://members.dsl-only.net/~sawlid/atlas/atlas0005.wmv WARNING!!: there is some profanity in the second movie

good advice here, thanks John!

LOL hey hondasucks, I am seriously considering your offer, i I wanted to do it, it would be in 3-4 weeks. I will keep in touch, I am seill debating whether just to spraypaint it or have you spray it. right now i am leaning towards having you do it.
