im about to be steamin....
not a thrasher yet. hangs with them. when I had the stiff springs in...an STi could barely get away from me on the Dragon. Strights was where he got me...duh...me no IC and all stock but intake and cat back. Now: WRX IC, even more tweaked intake, and redone 2.5" cat back and gutted cats. The pipe from the 1st to second cat is redone as well...2" instead of all the factory BS that was about 1.5". Still needs some serious flow work on the exhaust header and the turbo...intake manifold and throttle body. more eficient turbo...about 14 PSI and its ready to match WRX's to 100 MPH.

oil cooler questions
true on all counts.

oil cooler questions
rally Russ did overkill there....but it'll last thats for sure. i did use 300 psi rated fuel line, 1/2 inch. I used it for about 2 months...didnt have any problems.

im about to be steamin....
[RANT] NO one takes us seriously. NO one gives us respect. It may SEEM that they do on the surface....its a cutious respect..."hey, lets give him something...dont want to be an rump roast to him..." kinda respect. After that...FORGET it. You dont get an inch more. Well, im THIS >< close to just letting it all out on the next person who doubts me or whatever, just have all the steam built up in me about this, righ out on'em. I've really just about had it. Im THIS >< close to just spening every single penny ive got instead of doing it slowly and leeping other things going first..... And im not about to give up the battle and say..."Eh, ive had enough...I'll get a WRX/STi...then I'll be taken serously and respected more...." NO WAY suckas. All the stops are gonna be pulled out. Ive had it. Your WRX's and STi's are MINE. Soon to be OWNED by the GL-10 of WJM. No more will I be dis-respected or doubted. I CAN drive, and despite what they think...I CAN drive BETTER than them. (i do admit, there are quite a few that can drive much better than I. Mostly....the others dont have it at all. Sure they can point the car...gas and brake and shift like 'normal'....but the skill to really DRIVE...is not with them) All the stops and bugs are commin out. Prepare to suck vacuum. [/RANT] Edit: this thread does not apply tho those who have Impreza/Legacy and have an EA82 and believe in it.

-
SOA says I should not...
Yes. the PARTS look up. cant get ahold of that. BIG BIG no no. There are FSMs online....I cant tell you about it yet....yes, ALL of them are on there....from 1992 an up.

SOA says I should not...
I was planning on having an index...and numbering the images by page number and stuff...
-
XT6 clutch/pressure plate....who was it?
from NAPA, the new one taht had all the OE stuff in it....was $160. But that was like 10% over cost....since i worked there at the tiem.
-
SOA says I should not...
shadow....my image looks pretty good....i know that Imissed the major stages of planning due to the equipment i had at the time...slow rump roast comp and no scanner/cam.... I could do myentire 86 FSM+CC supplement by images....what do you think?
-
My poor FSM....
Yours looked even newer than my 86 ones.... ....I did not open the pages at all...so you will be the first person to look thru it since 1982 i bet.
-
SOA says I should not...
I need to take pics of the whole FSM and post them.
-
Motul Lubricants...this is NOT another sale thread!
Ok...does anyone have any experience with the Motul engine/trans lubricants and brake fluid...??? Im thinking of switching over....maybe.
-
wow, the rx is fast stock
i wish i could find some NOS.....some NOS trim and such for der wagen....
-
XT6 clutch/pressure plate....who was it?
for the XT6? I wouldnt know. I doubt they make anything for it.... :-\
-
wow, the rx is fast stock
Watch your mouth, err, fingers soney. You'er about to offend someone who knows a whole helluva lot more about N.O.S than you do. While I agree that i will never use it on any of my engines, it IS a proven method of horsepower increasement. When used inthe proper manner, the engine will last for as long as you take care of it. While running a 250 shot will certinly end the engines life shortly....a 50 shouldnt be worse than my foot to floor antics every day as comapred to running at the strip once a week with a 50 shot.
-
RX's acceleration times?
Two notes.....the owners manual says nothing about driving in 4wd all the time....just the POSSIBILITY of decreased fuel mileage and that tid bit about the sharp turns. AND...safe engine operating speeds is anywhere from 1500 to "The Red Zone" So that means the EA82T wont mind being at 5600 RPMs at WOT going 120 MPH all day long.....
-
wow, the rx is fast stock
Id say it does around 16.375 1/4....but i dont have a time slip. thats estimating with another RX's results...its heavier and has the same HP therea-abouts. I woudl estimate in the 15's somewhere with my GL-10 with Delta cams.
-
RX's acceleration times?
Well....this was the only thing I read about it on pavement....im sure i read somewhere that it said dont use 4wd on dry pavement.... Oh well.
-
XT6 clutch/pressure plate....who was it?
the NEW NAPA Clutch kit I got had FHI stamped all over it....looked OE.... Worked wonders on the RX....and it was sporting a serious intake/exhaust and delta cams. VERY strong and grabby.
-
XT6 clutch/pressure plate....who was it?
I happen'ed across a number for the 85-94 "Leone/Loyale" 4WD clutch kit...includes pres plate, disc and throwout bearing....for something like...150-170 or something. Cant remember exactly. The presureplate alone is 151 for the XT6....
