[Replacement Remote - 2005 Forester xt]

I have lost my remote:( No biggie, but it was fun while it lasted.

 

What is the cheapest way to get a replacement?

 

Thx,

[Check Out This Buggy in So. AZ!!]

I have about $1,500 in this Buggy...

 

Not a chance I'd sell it for anywhere near that but....

 

My point is Making your own is not that expensive and you'd have something much better looking

 

That's my unbiased personal opnion

Mudrat was the one who recommended this kit to me...

He has the plans too, but has never built his....YET!

 

Glenn,

82 SubaruHummer--easy building kit!

01 Forester--came built!

 

Where does one get the kit?

 

I thought somebody had whiped it up in their barn/garage/shop as a one-off.

This is located in Arizona, south of Tucson. What you see is everything I know. I just happened to see it on craig's list.

[The OBS, taller with a Forester mod]

There's always the web page where he explains it:

Is there any difference between a one inch longer strut and a two inch lift plate and a three inch lift plate?

 

Ihe OBS strut is heavier duty than stock?

[Forester Dual Range]

I'm assuming that these will be AWD and low lock, as opposed to 2, 4, lo.

 

As they fit on the forresters, they fit on the EJ20 so yes i can say with 99% certainty that they will fit onto the 2.5 or the 2.2 like i'm hoping.

 

On a slightly random note, i belived that these use the push clutch not the pull, so they will require a master cylinder for the hydraulic clutch, not a big deal, but somthing to think about.

 

I admire your initiative in trying to get this deal to go down. I don't even have a subie, but I would consider investing in the project.

 

I have seen similar purchase pooling deals in the Vanagon world. You can still get new Vanagon parts from South Africa.

 

Buying a load of used trannies from the other side of the world is risky. What is the price differential if you just order new ones?

 

I drool when I dream about a lifted OBS Sport with an extended range transmission and a little camp trailer. Someday perhaps.....

 

I will be watching for progress on this idea.

[Three Door Coupe??]

Thanks for the info and the pics. I don't remember seeing a 3-door coupe before and I am getting interested.

 

This only came up for me because I saw one on the A.trader at what seems like a reasonable price. It has dual-range and a/c and I am trying to find out if it has the LSD.

 

I think the diff may be the deal maker based on what I have on the board.

 

If the deal goes down, I guess you will be hearing more from me; if not I will remain is quasi lurker mode.

[Three Door Coupe??]

I was looking for a hatch and found an 1988 three door coupe.

 

Any comments about the suitability of off roading it compared to a hatch?

 

Does that big window in the back lift up?

 

Thanks,

[How does hi-lo dual range work?]

How does the DR work?

 

I understand transaxles (front and rear drive) and I understand the typical 4WD drive setup (stick a 2-speed transfer case in between transmission and rear end).

 

The subie dual range I do not understand. Is the dual ranging all done within the transaxle housing or is there some other magic going on.

 

Thanks,

 

JM

[Dual Range 5-speed Available (import?)]

Hello,

 

I am looking to outfit an Impreza Sport (Hatch) for off road. It would be nice to have dual range available.

 

Any thoughts?
