  1. I use a Greenlee that I found at Lowe's. Costs about $50 and works like a champ. Real accurate too, and it's digital (the only way to go).
  2. Looks AWESOME dude!! Spray gold rules! How'd the finish turn out? I need to drop by and come check it out sometime. I'd also like to give you that sub box in trade for maybe some of your welding skills. Let me know when you're free .
  3. I run 185/70/14s on my Pug alloys and only get rubbing on the rear when fully loaded and hitting a big bump. With steels, it wouldn't be a problem.
  4. This is a bit late in the thread, but I upgraded the grounding system on my Subaru with a 1/0GA cable from the battery to the chassis and 8GA cables from the alt bracket, transmission, both heads, and the lighting relay pack I added all to ground. Seems to run a touch smoother, and it certainly can't hurt.
  5. Glad it's working out for you. You'll have to bring it to a Subaru meet sometime so I can see it again. I kinda miss it :-\ ...
  6. Is that my old '92 you're talking about? How's that old goat working? I'd just get a new switch, that thing was always a bit dodgy.
  7. Awesome video! You've got some good places to play up in Concrete, I'm jealous.
  8. Awesome! <-- anxiously awaiting when you get 1st overall .
  9. That's something that I really love about this board - that I've had the opportunity to meet people from it. Off the top of my head, I've met about 10 people, all of whom are an inspiration for me to build my rig. This board kicks rump roast like no other board I've ever been on.
  10. 95% chance of me being there. The only thing that could hold it up is if there's another show going on (gotta do my job, sadly) or if the Subaru breaks down.
  11. EA82 is the way to go. I've got a '93 Loyale and I'm in love with it.
  12. I wonder if, since you're using the car for auto-x, a water-to-air intercooler might work well. It won't be great for long runs, but they're very effective for short lengths of time. Probably more spendy than the FMIC you're talking about, though.
  13. My Soob isn't anything super-special, but you're welcome to any of the pics in my photo gallery - http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=275 , just so long as they're only for personal use and not for any sort of profitable venture.
  14. None of us care? Built Justys are cool. Make sure you show us pics!
  15. All Pugs are like that. They're a direct fit as far as bolt pattern goes, but they have a lower offset than stock Soobie wheels. As long as you keep your overall diameter close to stock, they won't pose a problem. I run 185/70/14 on my Pugs and they only rub on the rears when completely, fully loaded, and I hit a BIG bump. You'll be just fine.
  16. Sure sounds like a radiator problem to me. EA82s are pretty notorious for having really crappy radiators. If you replace it, get one for a turbo model, they're dual-core and much beefier.
  17. No problems with mine, it's on there like a mofo. What feels like it's binding?
  18. The MAF adaptor is off of a 1991-1999 Nissan Sentra/200SX 1.6L, engine code GA16DE.
  19. Mine goes through where the antenna used to be. I riveted on an aluminum plate to cover most of the hole, then drilled a hole into it and ran the wires through there. Before that, I went through the corner of the windshield seal.
  20. That is a very overpriced Radio Shack resistor that does nothing but screw with your A/F ratio. It's a bunch of bullsh*t that it adds any kind of real power. And no, since it requires a MAF/MAP sensor to work, it won't work on a carbed car, not that it would do much of anything on a FI car either...
