Its Been A While!
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.

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.

What Do You Want
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!

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 ?

driving
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.

tires, watcha got?
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.

'93 Loyale Performance
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 Birthday to me!
Happy 5th, dude! < proud to be one of the ones whose met you

'93 Loyale Performance
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!

Hello
Welcome to the party
-
how big of a spare tire?
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.
