determining LSD gear ratio
Spin the input shaft, and count the number of times the diff stubs spins per spin, or visa versa, and count the number of spins it takes to spin the input shaft. Twitch PS: I may have that backwards...

cheap go fast goodies?
You could go for a full STi swap from a GC8 (search it if you don't know what that is) from Japan or Australia. But its gonna be ridiculously expensive and difficult as you will have to switch it over from Right Hand Drive to Left Hand Drive. Twitch

Y'all are the best!
I hope you kept some of those wheels, esp the 4 lug variety... And yes, subarus are an obsession, just ask Turbone, or TheBeastIDrive, me, or just about any other member who has been on here more than a year or so. Twitch PS: I've only been addicted for a few years and I already have 5

And Then The Lights Went Out
Damn dude, that sucks. As was said by others, never done it to myself, but it had to hurt. Gotten a concussion and that sucks enough, but never hard enough to lose consciousness... Twitch PS: Just be glad it wasn't carb cleaner induced

Which year GL wagon is best
No auto's what so ever will have a dual range. Subaru never made an auto with dual range as far as I know. Some turbo's came with d/r, but not very many, and they're not the best for off roading anyway. Twitch

Which year GL wagon is best
Well, IMO, you should look for an 80-84 wagon. They came with the much more reliable EA81 and are also much lighter. They are definitely more difficult to find, but are a lot more upgrade happy, for off-roading that is. Also, the auto's only came with a single range, so a manual will be your only choice for a dual range. And as for the 88 turbo wagon with an auto, I say run like the wind unless you want to have to completely rebuild the engine and do a lot of maintenance right away. Twitch

i'm new here
Hey, I just noticed, you have a "swoosh" logo on the side of your car, on the trim. That's so cool... We never got anything like that over here in the states. Twitch

Twitch de la Brat replied to eppoh's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI'm not sure what seller GD uses, but I just got a kit for my 90' lego from mizumi auto for that exact price. With all the aforementioned components too. It seemed to be of good quality. Twitch

Crank pulley...what about a gun?
Holy cow. I hate it when my breaker bar get mangled... I've always just used the breaker bar with a hammer setup. Sometimes the size of the hammer differs, but I have yet to have a bolt that wouldn't let go. Twitch

B.R.A.T. Meet 2010
I hope not. We're trying to make this thing official. And if we get a good enough crowd, I'll try to make this an annual thing. Maybe switch up the city every year, like WCSS, or keep it all in one spot, it'll mostly be decided by the people who show. And we'll allow you to throw your piece in there too. But I am for keeping the date, I've already put in for my time off at work. It'll keep it more available for everyone. I'm sorry you're gonna miss it, but we hope to see you the next year, or maybe at an impromptu meet somewhere Twitch

Tranny Fluid Change.
Twitch de la Brat replied to markjw's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWell, it worked. It only took about 15 minutes to do And it got rid of some of the problems she was having. Still has torque bind :-\ But its gonna need to have the duty c solenoid changed. No big deal. Again, thanks for the tip! Twitch

Tranny Fluid Change.
Twitch de la Brat replied to markjw's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThank you MarkJW. One quick question, did you have the car in gear, in park or neutral? Gonna do this very thing with my sister's "new" 91 Lego LS Wagon. (Aka Zeh Dume Vagon) Gotta fix some hard shifting and some other minor tranny issues. Twitch

Which K&N air filter for 86 RX Turbo ?
Exhaust is a good place to start when working with a turbo car. Opening it up to a 2" or 2 1/2" would be good. You could also delete the airbox completely and just put a cold air intake on the end of the MAF. I'm not sure what kind of auto suppliers you have down there, but there are adapters that bolt onto the MAF so that they can have a 3" or so pipe fitted to them. Twitch

B.R.A.T. Meet 2010
Sweeeeet. That lucky kid is gonna OD. You better bring a paper bag, just in case of hyperventilation :-p Hope you can make it Saturday! I'll be trying to show up later Friday and stay all the way until Monday. I love camping, and this would be the perfect chance to start out summer on a good note!!! Twitch

800 Mile Road Trip
I'm sorta in your way... If you need any help in the Idaho zone, gimme a holler, I might be able to help you out. The passes over here are killers on the coolant systems. So when you hit Coeur'd Alene (Core duh lane) stop somewhere and check your coolant levels. If you get lost in Coeur'd Alene, gimme a call (I'll pm you my #) And if you just want to have lunch with somebody other than the person you're traveling with and meet another sube nut, I work at this place that makes really good pizza. My treat Twitch
