let it alone...I like it white!

my Passat tdi didn't have a full size spare. Also it didn't fit well either. My buddy had a jetta (2002) and it had kinda a FS spare. His wheels were 17" and the spare was 16" but it had the drive slow type of stickers on it.

I was thinking the 2 weekend thing too. Also you could do the interior work during the week after work etc. for switching consoles and the small crap like that.

I haven't seen the back of an 06 but I would be prepared to be let down b/c I don't think a real wheel and tire is going to fit without putting a hump in the floor. Let us know what you find out.

cool trick!

Post #1 has been copied and posted in the USRM! Great writeup and good luck with your set up.

I've been previously venting to the atmosphere and running pig rich during shifts. Thinking back to my Eclipse I thought about how I miss my GM blow through setup. At this point I had a few mods done. Cone air filter, exhaust, top mount intercooler with custom piping, and an hks ssq bov. I liked the shock that people got when they would hear my car vent, however, I hated the fact that I was passing a couple of cops the other day doing about 25 mph and shifted and my car popped from the richness between shifts. This of course drew their attention to me, and wasted a bunch of fuel. I went home and thought to myself, this is the last time. After kicking the idea around with subarutex I decided after work today to do it. Soooo......This is what I did. The goal: Move the mas sensor after the intercooler and before the throttle body. Doing this you can vent to the atmosphere without running pig rich, due to the fact that the air is metered after the blow off valve position. (everyone knows that if you vent and the mas stays in the stock position it dumps air into the atmosphere instead of into the engine, thus making your slow compensating ecu use an improper balance of fuel/air. Too much fuel, too little air and the car bogs.) Warning, attempt this at your own risk etc etc. Mine runs perfect but, if you mix up your wires, who knows what'll happen. 1) 1 at a time, I cut my mas sensor wires and extended them 2 ft and taped them up with electrical tape. 2) then I got (2) 2 1/2"- 3" silicon couplers 3) Using a universal Mas - Air filter adapter I connected the mas to the intercooler 4) next I connected the mas to a 90 degree bend using the 2 1/2"- 3" adapter 5) connect the 90 degree bend to the throttle body using the other 2 1/2" - 3" adapter 6) Connect your cone air filter to the stock intake inlet where the stock mas used to fit (this will require a 2 1/2" opening on the Air filter connection end 7) Lastly wrap the mas extention wires in electrical tape and route them in a safe location **side Note** There are 2 white wires in the factory mas harness, cut them before the shielding (they go into a shielded black wire). Don't be dumb and mix these wires up like I did, this is why I said to extend the wires in step 1, 1 at a time. No mixup all smiles. If you mix the wires up you will get a check engine light. So do it right and don't panic. So now that the blow through setup is complete, you can vent your heart out and not pop, not bog, and not run pig rich. Also as a cool side effect, if you blow your intercooler piping off, your car will still idle perfectly. Why? Because you moved the mas to before the throttle body and the car is still getting the right a/f ratio. Now you can calmly pull to the side of the road and fix your piping instead of your car dying in the middle of the road. Pictures to Follow. The only other thing I can think of to make this setup better is, Get the lip on the universal airfilter adapter beaded so you can clamp your piping down and not blow it off. This will be your weak spot in your setup.

it won't allow me to become a new member and it won't accept the confirmation code. I'd say your site is borked. I sent you an email regarding this too....guess what....bounced back.

my old impreza (95 1.8) was OBD 1 Also to agree with ed....it isn't a gutless turd if you keep the revs up and know how to drive one I miss my 1.8 impreza :-\

NICE!!!!!!!!! Did you get your money back from the car shipping co?

if I remember correctly.... I am pretty sure that 4 is the max limit. I believe i read in an owners manual that if you only had 2 you were to program them both in twice so that all four open "holes" were filled.

does it make the inside quieter?

I was at a new owner clinic a month or so ago at the dealer i bought my baja at. They said if you do your own oil changes buy your oil a day or so in advance (date on recept) and write your mileage in the log book and on the recept...because if there is a problem then you can prove you have svcd. it. Oh and the best part....subarus can go up to 7500 before changes so if you lose a recept you would still be covered (if you do 3k changes)

nah they came factory in the mustang too. my buddy had an 87 LX with one in it. Very nice light to have and very usefull too. Nice job on the taurus light. Carpet on the roof???? tell us more.

emailed him and got a reply back. he knows about it.

I tried calling him and he didn't answer....don't really know what else to do otherwise. He doesn't have VM at the # i called him at so i didn't leave a message. All I can say is email him and if that doesn't work ?????? PM's he doesn't seem to get.

Yeah they will work in the 95. If ya want I have an 02 radio in my basement that we can "test" if you want to see for yourself. (it isn't forsale though) Let me know if you want to stop by some evening.

as long as the radio you are buying is from a subaru that is newer than a 94 they are all cross compatable (ex. the new legacy because they are integrated) i have a 99 legacy that i put an 03-04 baja radio into it. Plug and play! You are talking about the integrated 6 disk with cassette right? If you are talking about "the add on" type then you need to make sure the reciever has the hookups in the back to run the external CD changer.

I totally understand what you mean...i needed those parts for mine 16 years ago!

do it *eleventrybillion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and like Moody said...visit us over on www.xt6.net we'll help ya out.

that site is nice and all but it isn't the most accurate. I did a search for a subaru baja and it didn't bring up much but I know for a fact that my local dealer has 6 where that site told me the closest is 30 some miles away. I guess every tool you can use will help somewhat.

old school scirocco...very nice! very cool pics BTW!!!

same reason i don't downshift when comming to a stop sign. Brake pads are cheaper then clutch disks

that VW on 3 wheels is soooo cool and I bet the guy in the mitsu PU had a fun ride in that thing. Looks very cool. Can you give a town name so I could look into seeing how far it is away from me?

any old car would do...i would own his a$$ then. Full tort FTW!
