I'm about to drop 2000 into a 96, didn't think twice, just took some time to get the money together.

My .02 as a seatbelt engineer: Not a good idea

7 ? got a matching spare and a bike?

http://www.kennedyeng.com/ give these guys a call, they got the EJ-22 90-94 CARB legal in a vanagon, it may not be too hard to get it legal in your vehicle. very helpful Phone# (661) 272-1147

try ordering the wiring harness printout from kennedy adapters, its well worth the 22 bucks. I havn't torn into mine yet, but i can see that it will be much simpler, and less wirey (austin style) with their simplified schematic.

I was there for 2 summers and a winter vacation. i loved it then and i love it now. I went to the WCSS7 and almost didn't get back on the plane to come back to michigan.

I'll be in seattle by Christmahannakwaansmukah, I'll help out and do some of the leg work next year. Speaking of, when will the X-mas tree run be? We now return you to your regular picture thread.

Not right now, i'm more concerned about getting the 88 running, can't leave D-troit with out it running. the imp is gonna get the 5MT out of the legacy, but thats gonna wait until Sea-Towne. But now you have piqued my intrest, i may have to call up my man Mudrat and see if this is possible, with an RX tranny and the NA low range it might be a good time, with AWD and a center lock. Giggidy Giggidy, all right.

At the Furd dealership we would take about 3 of those out a week, people do a hack job to get them in just so they can boop-beep the horn. those things are a nightmare to remove, i'm glad yours came out easy.

As much as i hate bringing a post back from the dead, and seeing them brought back, it occurs to me to ask another question. Do the EA-82 front brakes work on the EA-81? That is all.

I'd reccomend the SSR's, with the added extra, they should be siped. they're pretty quiet because they are radials. Either way i'd get the tires siped, the bigger lugs with no grooves will suck in the rain, so get them siped and you'll get the best of both worlds, and excellent traction on wet rocks. I don't own any stock in the siping company.

Might this thread be more appropriate in the Marketplace?

I borked the engine in my new Impreza, so the swap is on hold until that car is running again, the engine should be crossing the Mississippi any time now. the car should be good to go by the middle of next week, by the 3rd at the latest. once that is good to go, and the adapter plate shows up i'll be ready to pull and swap all the goodies that will make my baby run again. I got the Kennedy Adapters wiring printout, as Shawn has said, i will concur with him. Makes it as simple as cake, well as simple as a 7 layer cake with a 3 tier design and a chocolate waterfall can be. basically what i'm saying is that if its simple enough for me, then anyone can figure it out.

I should be out there by Thanksgiving, permanent style, i'll see if i can bring Austin back with me. this Detroit thing is not so much working for me anymore.

Old american cars had a lot of wood grain,mostly wagons. Before 1948 it was not uncommon to have acutal wood as the panneling. Subarus on the other hand did have it for a few years, early EA-81 or late EA-71 wagons, it could have been a dealer installed option. I have a complete set of the wood grain stickers that i found at the dealership, no i won't be parting with them any time soon.

me thinks it could be the air filter, it got pretty dusty back there playing in the gravel

IIRC if you take more than about .015 off each head you will have fitment issues iwth the intake manifold, McBrat or Qman should be able to tell you the max amount you can remove

I've got them all up again, minus a great deal so that the bandwidth copper dosn't get mad

Even if the Chebby parts were cheaper, would you really want them on your car? you should be able to find some cheap ones on Ebay, i found a set of brembo rotors for the 88 wagon.

I gotta be up at 6, and i'm on the east coast, i can't stay up as late as you west coast boys.

T belts? they seem to be a recurring nightmare.

nope

i'm teh stupid, i think i got it figured out now, still gotta get the others out, but its a start. Is there an easy way to get rid of all of mine?

I don't know how i got all my photo's in Jay's album, 4 hours before i put them there, but who knows, the miracle of the subie. i'm trying to upload more, but it seems to be borked, i'll try back in a few hours.

I'm 8 miles round trip farther than the guy from Chukau**** but as i didn't drive i'd be willing to cede the trophy to him. however next year, i'll have two cars, i hope.
