My latest upgrade!
yep, it was an option an ANY turbo EA82... the hammer was like $8 @ home depot, now you know....go get one too!
-
Stumbled accross this website....
well, for starters, that's an EA81 wagon... also, they're quite common in australia (well, I've seen quite a few pics of them), but I've only seen 'em on EA81 wagons, and EA82 sedans (specifically RX's)...

Official Lift Kit Group Buy
um...where you in the group buy? cause I think if I ran AA, I'd do it just like they do, they do ALOT of business, cut 'em some slack.

Your fender cutting solution? pic's if possible please
Yea...subarubrat...I just noticed that it looks like your front fender flare overlaps your front door!? any problems there? or does it look worse than it is.

My latest upgrade!
They don't come on N/A EA82s....and they all have 3.7 final ratio (not entirely true, a few xt6's have 3.9 LSD...but good luck!). if you don't feel like looking for the tag, you could just turn one rear wheel, if the other spins the same way, you've got an LSD.

RX Leone LSD Diff.
http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/USRM2/mick-usrm/transmission/lsdswap.html from the ultimate subaru repair manual. it refers to 3.7 and 3.9's but those are for the turbo lsd, and open respectively here in the US, just follow the same directions, but with your 4.11, and 3.7 (or whatever you'rs is).

My latest upgrade!
So my morning started out something like this: And then I added this: And later in the afternoon: among other things....Yes, now I've got a 3.9 LSD rearend, with an SJR 2" diff shim to ease axle angles. I had much more fun than that, including a very soft, muddy trail that I was VERY glad I had the LSD for. but I was alone, so I didn't get any shots of it... and just another sweet shot from the day:

chuxwagon+mudwagon offroad in MN!
Here are my 2 good pics...I didn't get much since I spent most of my time with the video camera.

My impreza has new tires!
true...but you'd be suprised!! I certainly was! if he had lo range, it would do awesome...I think the impreza suspension is quite a bit more flexable, so keeping more tires on the ground is easier.

subaru articulation pics.
of course it does! WE got nothin in solid axles in almost every case, especially flex! Anyway, just put in my 2" diff shim, along with another goodie....but more on that in it's own thread, doesn't actually effect flex, but it does help my axle angles: before: after: it's essentially the same spot, but oviously a bit differet, but still had that back tire off the ground! and look how much better that axle looks! and another angle from that same spot:

Your fender cutting solution? pic's if possible please
oh man, yea, the mudflap HAD to go....I ripped that bugger off, and still had to do some whomping to get stuff to fit. you'll have to be very creative to get the stock mudflap to fit!

lift q's
oh yea...all the time, but not hard, just a little noise, hasn't done any damage yet.
- Question????

I got high tech....I got out my 3lb maul, and made room!

lift q's
umm...yea, but that's just the exhaust pipe...duct tape would just melt/burn, coat hangers are perfect!

Allied Armament Christmas Group buy Notification
the trim clipped onto the gutter is incredibly flimsy....but the sheetmetal under it is solid!!! WAAYYYY stronger than those stock rails! (I know from experience ) I too want a skid that will protect everything, obviously oil pan/sender, but exhaust, and maybe even a little control arm protection too!

Super Swamper Thread
morgan doesn't hate mud because he get's stuck in it , HE just doesn't like getting dirty, he really is better off with A/T's, not to mention the fact that you have to drive for hours at freeway speeds to get to any trails here.

What I did last weekend...
oh man, the quality was too bad...the air filter was DRY!! you can see a couple little spots of water in the bottom of the airbox, but that was it. I did, however, get large quantities of mud on my crank angle sensor....

Crank Angle Sensor
it's inside the distributer, little wheel with slots in it that a laser reads to see when to have the coil fire. I got mud on mine, and it wouldn't start. pull off the cap, gasket(s), and rotor, and you should see a couple little screw on the top, this pulls of a little plate, and it's under there. I did it with the disty out of the car, but you can do it with it in too.

What I did last weekend...
Sorry for the delay, the idiot that has the camera didn't come up when he said he would, so I had him email it to me...anyway, I edited the sound out (the guy taping had a few inappropriate things to say), and replaced it with a little music. anyway, here it is...enjoy http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=8529&sort=1&cat=500&page=1

wheel coming off?
yea, but I think that would be a little more predictable. but you still might want to try getting them balanced or something
-
Calculations for oversized tires
yep %%% is right, cause 0 is the same either way... I had a GPS in my car, it's only about 5 mph off at 30, but almost 20 @ 80...

subaru articulation pics.
removed sway bars?? maybe? I just got my camera back, so I'll be taking a couple new shots in the next couple days.
-
wheel coming off?
only other thing I can think of is maybe a CV...might make an unpredictable wobble/click like you describe.
