Yeah. A good number of us have way more than one old subaru. But, I like it! Good luck in the future with it. When can we see a lift and tires on it?

Just got my 32/36 DGEV back from my neighbor and was wondering if anyone has tips they've learned from doing Weber swaps on EA82's? Thanks! John

No, they aren't, because otherwise the car is noticeably angled downward in the front. I only have adjusters in the front so i wouldn't be able to drop the rear any without having to completely redo the rear lift. I know that one eye is running a 2 inch lift with the adjusters extended on his wheeler wagon without crossmember blocks and is doing fine.

haven't heard of cross member blocks... what are they and what does it take to make them?

Yes, it was cut to 15 degrees. Maybe if I made another lift with more angle?

On my 85 wagon with a 2-3 inch lift, my front tires have camber issues. I have the angled lift blocks on front, which helps, but is not enough. Also, the passenger side is more angled than the driver side, and i have no idea why. I bought the tires in August and they are already bald on the outside. GAHHHH What would be an effective way to correct the camber that an amateur high school mechanic would be able to do? Thanks! John Pic:

I've got a nest inside the right taillight of my wagon.

It should all be covered in the article. You just need to pull off the water pump pulley and the crank pulley. Not sure about the power steering pump, you might not have one. Then you can take off the timing belt covers. Also, invest in some PB blaster to coax the bolts holding on the covers, or else you might snap off the nuts in their plastic housings. I did that to my wagon and now i cant put the covers back on. When I did my wagon i could squeeze in between the radiator and engine, but i recommend taking out the radiator, it gives you a lot more room to work. Edit: Actually, now that I remember it, I ended up damaging my radiator, so it is worth the extra time to take it out. Also, its a good time to just replace both timing belts to save yourself trouble in the future. Good Luck! John

When you do the front blocks make sure to do the 15 degree offset, or you won't have any tires left. Found that out the hard way. John

Just thought I would throw that up there

When i close the passenger side door, the sensor says it is open. when the door is open, the sensor says it is closed. the dumb thing is, before I side swiped a tree at walker valley, the sensor didnt work at all. HUH?

Thanks Will!

I've been thinking about it, and I will take your offer. What is included in said $20 kit?

by the way, what are the dimensions of the pieces? and what is the size of the holes?

Thanks, but i really don't have the 20 bucks to buy it, and my car is up in the air waiting for the lift and struts, so i wouldn't be able to get to bellingham. Thanks though! John

Does anyone have any pointers on how to build a rear 2 inch lift out of 1/4" flatbar? I tried the search, but i didn't get anything good. Thanks! John

ok, because i have 2 struts from a DL that are replacements for the mixed set that is on the car

Will the rear struts off a 2wd DLSW work for a 2" lifted GLSW with a DR? I blew another strut out today, and want to get a matching set.

Not yet. I am going to take the blocks off and do the 2 pieces of steel attached to the car like on your wagon. So right now i still have the same blocks on the back.

Pretty Sweet! I like it.

I'm in! Just need to hang on to those tires...

Nice! I like it.

Sweet! You do have the dual range transmission, right?

big tires and a 4" lift or bigger then. It's your ride, and you can do whatever you choose with it! :-p
