super swampers on the road?
I can't attest to the actual super swamper tires, but other high relief tires stt's by Cooper, for example, will rattle the suspension (and your kidneys) and due to less actual tread, they are not as safe as regular radials. My .02

Kelly, you could always swing by Northern 4 X 4 outfitters on Airport Way and see what they have to offer.

Question on 1990 Legacy
northguy replied to madmax's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMadmax, welcome to the board. Find out when the timing belt was last replaced. If you are not mechanically inclined, it could be an expense you don't want to encumber initially. Clutch should be good for a while. Look at the brakes also, and ask if there has been a problem with the alternator/charging system. Overall, a great choice of car.

getting a JY carb, any tips? - Car update
Common sense states that the cleaner around the carb (oil, grease, coolant...spills and stains), the better condition of the carb. Common sense also says you'd be money and time ahead to rebuild it before you put it on. A rebuild kit would be worth its weight down the road.

AWD feels like driving rear wheels only, malfunction?
northguy replied to schspeedster's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXTake it to a hill, stop halfway up and restart. That will tell you which wheels are grabbing.

The New Guy
Welcome to the board. The good news, as listed above, is that you have about everything you need to get the maximum out of your Brat. The bad is that there's not a ton left to beef it up a whole lot more.

acura rims on a 91 legacy?
northguy replied to legacy91's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWelcome to the board; we're, for the most part, pretty hard to offend. I'm not up on Acura wheels, but the easiest way to find out is to ascertain the bolt pattern. I believe yours is 5 x 100.

Congrats. Waiting on the pics.

Embarassed I dont know the answer
Most have addressed the first 2questions, which have a definitive answer. The third question, "Whay am I an idiot," has multiple answers which may or may not be correct. 1. genetics? 2. learned behavior? 3. it's within your comfort zone? 4. It's an expected behavior 5. any or all or the above in different combinations 6. none of the above (of course, you realize I'm just kidding you)

Nice innovations. How structurally sound is it with the new welded bumper/chasis?
