bump? hah

Hey Jeff! Text me some details of the convoy... Just sent you a text but I don't know if I have an old number or something...

Pretty hard to find one of these air dams, but finding a high rise canopy is not. There are people that have cut the backs off to reproduce the look. Pretty much exactly the same i think. If you're going to strap a piece of plywood to your roof you should at least paint it...i guess it serves a purpose though...

bump it up yay

those are OCD's fenders... 150 bucks...? Last time I looked at the thread where those were purchased from they were 40 each... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=129204&highlight=fiberglass&page=6 http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showpost.php?p=1115165&postcount=65 Trying to flip them i guess...?

Because I don't have the plug for my alternator I had to trial and error the pins. I guessed wrong on the first one... Only two wires on it so second time did the trick! Not sure if doing that ruined it... But it seems to work. Voltage seems to be a little high at idle but I haven't really had a chance to really run it for any length of time. I just tested with my DMM and then again with the tuning software on my laptop. Just to confirm, the second wire does absolutely nothing...? Or is this wire used as the voltage regulator signal wire? I would really love to see a couple pictures of your 79. Sounds like a beast.

haha ya I'm a little choked that I missed your FS thread Caboobaroo... As far as making repro's is concerned, I'm pretty sure everybody that has owned one of these has said something along those lines. :-p I'm not meaning to sound rude about it... It's just the way it is. Very difficult to justify building something like this when you already own one. Building a repro would cost you money, time and it would just make your rare piece a little more common/less rare. I totally understand that this is not high on the priority list. But if you were to let me reproduce yours, then we could be onto something! I have the money, time, infrastructure, and ability to do something like this. And because I don't actually own one it won't be low on my to do list. I also just really want to see one of these installed... Seen a few pics of them sitting in front of cars but I don't think I've seen one truly installed. Garner had one... Can't remember if he every installed it... photos are lost in the usmb's of old... Did you every install yours Caboobaroo? Moosens?

what is with the abarth logo? Not very subaru of you.:-p

Long shot, but I know there are a few kicking around that aren't installed on cars... Figured I would ask everyone instead of just bothering pooparu... :-p My brat is in need of one of these... Let me know.

Here are some guidelines for installing harnesses. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i273/Chris_Eyre/VW%20Motorsport/Harness%20FAQ/FIAHarnessv2.jpg http://daliracing.com/v666-5/catalog/x-images-more/harness-bars-install-diagram-Install4CWeb.jpg you are probably going to need a rollbar or something to mount them to. perhaps mount to the back wall but that isn't really all that safe. You will also need different seats. Stock seats aren't designed for harnesses. I'm also fairly sure there is no such thing as a retractable 4pt harness... There are 4pt harnesses but retractable...? I'm in the process of installing some 6 point harnesses but I still need to get a few things for them to be done properly.

we will never know what was really wrong with my swap harness as i went ti a standalone computer system. However its good to get this info down in case someone else has these problems. as far as my alternator problems are concerned, I will and a look through my FSM to try and pin down the right wires. Most of the stock harness is still in the car so it should still be there. I no longer have the regulator or original alt wiring being used so it'll take some digging. Thanks!

I will have to go look at my wiring but I didn't think it would be that simple. My car had an ea71 with a external voltage reg alternator. Still the same white/red wire? I also don't have the pigtail for my alternator. Which pins are which?

interesting. I'm still curious as to why mine didn't run properly. My engine and chassis grounds were good. Very confusing... On a different note though, my alternator isn't charging anything... I am using a newer one from a 97. It has a two wire plug on it. This plug is not connected to anything because I am running a standalone. I tried just doing a quick jumper test to the battery and it didn't change. I will put a little more effort into it tomorrow but does anybody know how to actually wire one of these in? It seems that I may actually need a signal from the ECU (which isn't there...) to turn on based on this: http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=18135 thoughts? this is actually one of the few things from stopping me from getting temp insurance and going for a drive.

The lift he got was from the springs, not the shocks themselves. You could also just get koni inserts. Would be custom like the other ones but would probably be the best system possible. Konis require access to the bottom of the strut. I can't recall how much room is available between the bottom of the strut and the axle boot.
