'93 Loyale, sticky snow tires, 30,000 on engine, 75% heavy traffic, 25% city: 21-25 MPG

McBrat could make them for you, I'd guess. Worth asking, anyway. Anybody with a vinyl cutter can make them, just gotta have the vinyl . Basically, you'd redraw the file as a vector-based image (Flash, Illustrator, or Draw can do it) and save it as an EPS file. Then it could be cut on a vinyl cutter.

Brat strut failure, pics/questions

Don't all old Subarus have wacky positive front camber? -
Welcome back! I dig the skull.

I run Castrol GTX High Mileage 10W40 and a Mobil 1 filter. Does the job just fine.

Lights mounted on the bumper

Here's my setup! Took a piece of metal bar, drilled a hole at each end, mounted the light to it, and mounted it to the metal of the bumper. -

Hello And Good Morning!!

Welcome! -
Looks awesome, guys! You're making me want a new gen!
-
Here's my list: - Fender flares (like plastic ones), preferably that follow the flare crease on the EA82 fenders. - Skid plates. I'd like one to cover the oil pan, y-pipe, gas tank, and rear diff. - Brush guards would be nice - I'm a big fan of the A-style guards that a lot of EA81s have. - Spare tire carrier for the hatch. One that swings out of the way like the Pathfinder ones would be great. In fact, having it kinda modular would be great, so you could bolt on different attachments - gas can holder, reverse light mount, CB antenna mount, etc. - Mesh headlamp / taillamp protectors. The EA82 headlamps/corners and tails are vulnerable to damage and getting hard to find, as are EA81 tails. - A snorkel!

How cool is that! Black RXs are awesome, I'm so jealous!

Update on my hopefull Rx wagon

Indeed you did spot it. I remember seeing yours. My friends gave me the "you're crazy" look for being excited about seeing another Subaru, but what do they know, right ? -
Yes, there are tons of pedals like that available, but a long pedal like that will take some work to put on a Subaru, as it is designed to fit on a bottom-hinged pedal. Sparco makes nice pedal sets, but they can be a bit pricey.

Looks awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing it at WCSS! -
185/70/14 (appx. 24.2x7.3x14) Yokohama Guardex K2 F720 snow tires on 14" Pug alloys. Vehicle is a '93 Loyale 4WD with stock suspension. Only rubs on very large bumps when fully-loaded. With steels, it would be fine.

The EJ swap is throwing in the motor from a newer-generation car (the EJ family of engines). EJs come in a number of flavors, from the EJ18 in some Imprezas, all the way up to the EJ25G in the mighty STi. They all have more power than the EA engines and are still quite easy to work on. There's a number of EJ-swapped old-gens floating around these boards. Ratty2Austin's old EA81 wagon is a good example - he threw in a Legacy EJ22 and made his wagon quite quick.

Happy 5th, dude! < proud to be one of the ones whose met you
-
Yeah, these big old things are definately not quick. They are, however, quite tough . They're slowness is just a great excuse for an EJ swap, though!
-
Welcome to the party
-
I use a same tire as the the 4 others (185/70/14 Yoko K2 F720), that way I can still run it in 4WD in an emergency situation. Nothing much bigger than stock will fit in the engine bay.
