  1. true, however, those people probably haven't even heard of an RX, and if so, would probalby only be able to tell them apart by the decals, or if they were sitting right next to each other. but yea, I can tell, still looks great!!!
  2. I don't know much, but the power is from cfm (cubic feet per minute), or how much volume you cram in the chamber, psi is an easy way to measure it, but 20 psi through a tube the size of your finger is less effective than 10 through one the size of your leg! cooling it off just makes it possible to get more air into the chamber WITHOUT that much pressure, specifically. As far as the throttle body, if it's not the bottleneck, than no, it won't help that much, but that's just speculation based on my limited knowledge of how cars work. Guys, please correct me if I'm wrong.
  3. well, I don't know personally, but since you seem to be having some trouble getting a response, check out MorganM's page http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/article.php?a=3 he's got 8.5"s on his, and I don't think he's done any trimming/pounding to the fender to make them fit, though he has cut the fender hope that helps a little
  4. I prefer it if that second step is skipped all together, let's hear it for sleepers!!!
  5. don't we all (those of us that don't have them of course) and he's not gone, he just posted up that he put a wing on it anyway, and it sounds like a nonfunctional one!!! I'm in for the confiscation trip (in my spare time, HA)
  6. I'm afraid, please post pics, maybe you didn't make it look "ricey"
  7. I don't remember enough how these work, but the little resistor thingy (technical term) is right next to the blower, I have a couple of those blown so a couple of my speeds don't work, but I think you'd at least get full speed with all of those blown, so that's probably not it. I hate electrical issues why won't the power just go where it's supposed to
  8. now I kinda-totally disagree, well, not really you are right, but go back to that same situation and put stock tires on Qman's rig, now who has the advantage? I think that was the point morgan was making, if you want clearance, and don't want to do a full lift AND big tires, than the tire size will give it to you faster than a lift will. and good point, crank those adjustables down, that's the only "modification" done to mine, and it'll go places some stock trucks and jeeps can't!!!
  9. WELCOME, but for future reference, this should be in the new generation forum Do it yourself, get a haynes and/or chiltons manual, call napa, make sure they have the part, pull the old one, drive in, trade in yours for a deposit towards the remanufactured one, drive home, put it in, save receipt (lifetime warranty) Mine cost less than a boot kit (less than $30), and I don't even want to think about labor costs, it's an easy job, just a little time consuming OH WAIT, I don't remember, does the axle need to be pressed out of the steering knuckle? if that's the case, then you are probably going to have to pay someone to do it.
  10. also, the FRONT springs off an '86-'89 honda accord (prelude too? haven't tried it yet, but I got a set for free and they look similar) will lift the BACK of your subie about an inch
  11. Snowman's a rule to live by, with my habits, if I had a fast car, I'd be dead or in jail!!!
  12. please don't do that, it may be easier, but this is a one of a kind car. It'll probably be hard to find someone willing to pay what you put in to it. I'd say, if you have the means, hang on to it. If not, try cars.com, autotrader, etc. if you get nothing there, then default to ebay. BTW, it has been crossposted on xt6.net
  13. definately, my grandma's caravan has almost the exact same thing, it's actually quite nice
  14. I'd love to help, but probably don't have any skills that would be helpful in any way, but I would definately be a customer, probably not for much, but I'd be there anyway. I bet if you asked real nice, you could use some/all of the tech articles off the USRM.
  15. I'm very interested, I don't know that I'm up for $200 for all 4, but if it were closer to $30 a piece, and depending on shipping, I'd be in. especially if it didn't happen until spring, that would fit better with MY project anyway. I also assume these would be for 4 wheel disc brakes (not an issue here)
  16. as my friend always says, "understeer scares the driver, oversteer scares the passenger(s)!" good work! this will also make parts slightly easier to find, well, I guess the hub/rotor/backing plate won't but, it still opens it up some.
  17. I've seen this before, and I know it was from "the land of oz" lol, but I'm pretty sure it was green, had a top mount intercooler, and side-dump exhaust. I think it was a board member too

  19. go for a Gl wagon, not the Dl, just for those luxury items, i.e. maplights, power windows/locks etc. I'm not sure what's standard on what, but the Gl will make it a much more comfortable ride, and if you're really looking for luxury (as much as subie can get) go for a GL-10
  20. Hey, I see that route takes you right through duluth! I may have figured out another way to come, but if not, would you guys be willing to pick me up on the way through town? I'll bring my digital camera, and food!
  21. Well, That's on a pretty sharp right hand turn, the pic was taken from up the road where I came from, and I am pointed in the end direction, unfortunately I'm about 6 feet too far too the left. It was a beautiful drift, right up until that snowbank, and even then, I bet it looked pretty cool.
  22. you like snow shots? how about this one! uh, woops!
  23. I too had the same problem, lots of lysol, then some febreze, and now it smells nice and fresh , well, if you like that febrezey smell.
