Alright so a.little bit of an update. I have it all lifted now. I just did a 2". I used flat bar in the rear, and I used blocks in the front. It still has the little stock tires on it right now,but I will soon be putting my 15" Pug alloys on it with some bigger tires. Here are some pics!! I want to thank TheBeastIDrive for a bunch of interior parts, Jibs for the rear discs that I will be eventually installing, and Thecarman for the GL-10 trunk spoiler.

Alright, here are some pics! It still has the little tires on it, but that should soon change. And here is a pic of the actual lift blocks in the front

I'll get some soon:grin: I promise

I just did this lift on my new sedan!! It works great and it's incredibly easy to make and especially install! I didn't even need to remove the strut!! Just drop the top down, and then put block in from the top and bolt in place, all from the top!! Thanks for the idea!! I'll post pics soon in my other thread

I really like it!! Very nice and clean. I think your car with that much power should eat that chevy! I've seen it happen a lot. The chevy is still quite a bit heavier than your Rex. And all wheel drive, even if he had slicks on, I think yours would have a better launch.

I work in my driveway as well. I do have a shed with all my tools and spare parts in it, but yup, I use a piece of plywood to lie on and usually still end up getting muddy and dirty. Doesn't stop me though

Very nice!! I like the camo a lot. Looks real good. Nice shop too!

That's awesome!! I want one. I wonder how well it does

Yes, it's in the trunk. Peel back the interior plastic/carpet and there will be an access panel

I made one as well for an EA82. I used a steel rod with a steel cylinder that slid on the rod, with a flat piece on the end to keep the cylinder on the rod. I then welded two axle nuts on the end and those thread on the axle and then you just slide the weight and pull the new axle through the hub!

Hmm, I didn't know you got banned. Good that your back!! Glad to hear your Brat is back up and running!!! So did you run into any trouble, or did everything go pretty smoothly?

If you mean a oil filter wrench, they make one that bends straight down so it fits in tight areas. I have one and it works great. I'm sure a lot of them do that. I would think it would fit, but I guess you might just have to try it first. Or maybe someone else has already tried and will chime in. Good luck!!

They should fit. Most of the newer oil filters are a lot smaller and there was a recent thread on this. All in all, it's the same basic motor that has been in there all along so they should all fit eachother

All my Subarus leak oil. Even when I replace seals etc. they start leaking soon after, and that's the way every Suby I've seen is. Natural rust proofing for the front end:lol:. I have to take that back, my Brat is freshly resealed and isn't leaking yet, but I also have no driven it much yet, so just give it time!

That's what I was thinking! If I had some spare parts I'd send 'em your way. It wouldn't take much to make it look complete again.

I have a 28v Milwaukee Sawzall that I love!! Has tons of power, long battery life and with a decent blade will eat through anything!! I would highly recommend it!

You don't have to do anything to those fittings. Tranny fluid flows in there and since you don't have an auto, there will be nothing flowing through those. At the same time, if you wanted to plug them you could

IIRC just put the ones that reach, to where they reach to. Yeah that was a little confusing. That should work though. Unless someone jumps in with a pic though

:)No prob, I thought you'd like to see those

Like I said, the plugs are in a slightly different location because they changed the heads

What are the wheels in the second pic?

I have run that size tire and have no issues. It is the factory size on an RS.

There is a difference in the heads. You'll notice the plugs are located differently between the two(or mine was). 97 and up is interference I believe

$100! That's a good deal. I'd love to have a set of these. They are always so expensive
