    Wow, Subaru Fight!!! Well, since everybody else has thrown out their opinion, I will as well. I personally use Bosch Platinum +2's. They run me about $5 a plug at CSK autoparts, now Oreiley's. I use them because I don't like buying plugs that have to be gapped. Not to mention they burn nice and hot and seem to take abuse well. I have them in both my brat and my legacy and I have never had an issue with them. Just my two bites. Twitch

    I think I saw you sunday the 25th. Were you driving a burgundy wagon?

    Just curious, cuz he bore a fair resemblance to you, and he rubbernecked as bad as I did. :D

  3. Twitch de la Brat

    Well, at least parts are easy to come by, unlike my brat.

    Hope you get it going soon enough.

    Yeah, me neither. I gotta check with his brother to see if he has a job.

    Last thing I knew he was jobless and searching, kinda like me! :P

    Anywho, I'll see if I can get in contact with him.

    Well, this site called "Street Beat Customs" says they got a shock setup with compressor for 1k. OUCH!!! And that doesn't include the controller nor the wiring. It may even only be for 2 shocks as well. Or JC Whitney has some adjustable gas shocks that can have a wireless controller added. Unfortunately they don't add any lift. :-\ Options, options. Twitch

    That's good.

    Just invest in some $.20 ear plugs and you're good.

    Not to mention they are good for more than just offroading ;)

    Ya know, senior Loyale, you have a good point. I think that the new Imp, Tribeca and Forester should fall under the SOT. (Subaru of Tomorrow) The Imp has the framed windows and they all have a more common(?) look to them. Yes there is the matter of the same engine class and design, but they are available with the diesel in other countries. Just my two bites. Twitch

    Just make sure you jam the passenger side lock before you go.

    Just in case she tries to jump. :lol:

    Yeah, even if you just drive over it, its still fun.

    And if you break through the top layer make your way back to the trail so you don't sink.

    That seriously sucks if you do. Trust me.

    Hey congrats on your 1 year anniversary with USMB!

    Hope I make it that far without being banned for being a smart@$$. XD (ROFL)

    And check out that road. That thing is major fun when you get out into the field.

  15. Twitch de la Brat

    Ah, ok.

    Well at that's good, at least you some play monies $$$ :D

    Dude! Where's the Legacy? Did you sell it?

    I noticed your sig changed, and your pic is now your brat, and was just curious about your sweet lego.

  17. Twitch de la Brat
    It appears that I'm forbidden as well! Still doesn't work dude. Twitch

    Sorry, must've gotten some lines mixed up coming from the brake booster. And I was referring to when there is a leak in the vacuum system. On a normally operating car, you're right, it'll lower slightly and then recover. Thanks for the clarification, Twitch I apologize if I stepped on your toes skip.

    I had the same problem when I lost my center wingnut. Check to make sure you have all of your wingnuts sealed down or have an O ring underneath the bolts holding your air cleaner lid on. As well +1 to ed and +1 to skip for reiterating it. Make sure all of your vacuum tubes are connected and all of your auxiliary tubes that aren't in use, are plugged. Breaks in tubes are not unheard of, so I would try to trace your vacuum lines throughout the engine cavity. And also the brakes reduce vacuum. That's why your car stalls when you stop, the brake booster reduces vacuum in the air cleaner, which then decreases the amount of air flowing through your carb, therefore pulling less fuel and stalling out your engine. Got that? Hope it helps, Twitch

    Man, that's no good. Hope you didn't overheat. And do you get off work really, really late? Or go to work really, really early? Or maybe just up late? Sorry, off topic, but I'm not used to seeing people over the age of 30 post at 1 in the morning. Twitch.

    Found you!

    If you go to your local junkyard they may be able order the tail light. Napa, Shucks/Checkers/Kragen/O'Reileys/Murrays, Autozone, Advance Auto may have access to those parts, but a body shop or junkyard will probably have access to more options. Twitch

    Hmmph. Well, I knew wasn't going to be easy, but sheesh. Thanks for the references, but their site seems to be having some issues. I have done some searching via yahoo/google/dogpile to find air shocks and the only thing I can come up with are these truck air shocks that are designed for helping handle large loads. Does anybody know if these could work? Cuz some have on the fly pressure adjustment, and that's exactly what I want. The only problem I can see right now is the fact that there are absolutely no models listed for subaru. Does anybody know of any yota's or nissan's that might work? Heck I just need something that matches my strut mount and will hold my alignment. If anyone has measurements and maybe patterns that I could look at, that'd be great, if not I'm a gonna just go to different shops to look at them one, by stinking one. :-\ Thanks again, Twitch.

    I would recommend you get a little toyota pickup or a nice 85-89 gl wagon with dual range. And for either put brand spanking new air filters, fuel filters, oil filters, oil, rebuild the engine, new seals, new heads, new door seals, new cabin air filter, new tires, basically, anything that isn't perfect, replace with new if its vital to the engine or the cabin sealing up. That's my recommendation and please, don't write me off just because I'm 18. Hope it helps, Twitch

    I hope I'm not posting in the wrong section, but I'm looking for some suggestions for some pneumatic, aka air, shocks. I want some rally (I mean rally, not really) tough semi-long travel shocks that can have on the fly adjustment. And that also give me approx 2" in lift over stock. Do any of you racing guys have any brands or suggestions that might help? Oh, and I'm not too good at welding but if I need to make some brackets to adapt the struts to the current mounts, I can. Thanks for any info, Twitch
