  1. So, i'm not 100% sure where this should go, cause its an EJ motor, but an EA wagon, but i just put the MRT equal length header, sans cat on the wagon, with the mid pipe, which just so happens to aim right at my rear CV boot, but i'm working on that as we speak. Anyway, with no cats or mufflers, it sounds like teh SEKTS, absolutely gorgeous, it dosn't have the flat four burble, but man does she sound mean, so a few more days and i'll have the camber adjuster bolts, and she'll hold an alignment, and i'll be able to take her out and about. Sure, i'll get pics up eventually, my cameras borked, so it might be a while.
  2. Pull off your rear drums, and make sure that everything that should be tight is, and that nothing is leaking, and that they are adjusted, there should be a star wheel near the bottom between the shoes that you can turn one way or another and that will make the drum harder to turn, you don't want it to stop the drum from turning, but you want it tight enough that it is not super easy to turn. after that i'm cashed.
  3. Actually, i've found the opposite to be true, my matco and snapon stockets are too big for a lot of the really cheap aftermarket wheels, but my 12 pt crapsman fits in there real nice.
  4. Non turbo stuff should fit on any other non turbo, as long as its a 15 inch rim. The problems come when you have the turbo models, as they have bigger brakes and require the 16 inch wheels. With those, all will work, except from the STi models which have a slightly larger pattern. FYI, the std subaru wheel pattern, after the 4 lug era is 5x100
  5. you can either stuff a cylinder with rope through the spark plug hole, or block the flywheel with a screw driver or something similar. Be sure to use locktite.
  6. I believe some hankooks are made in Japan, but maybe i'm thinking of a different tire.
  7. You might just call up the local dealer and ask for parts, they bottle should have the manufacturer on the back
  8. Dependning on if they tied into the dimmer circuit, i'd say its probably just coincidence
  9. I'd say it would be rather helpful, as you're dealing with gear preload, it wouldn't be a bad thing to have a FSM handy.
  10. You're gonna need a home for all those plugs. And i believe the fuel pump is run differently with the MPFI than it is with the SPFI, in regards to the disty telling the pump to turn on in the SPFI.
  11. You can also get the 207S bearings, there sealed, so you never have to worry about it again, well at least a little while longer than the non sealed ones.
  12. I'm in, it'll give me a reason to get the upgraded tranny in the 88
  13. Shoot, that'll buff right out.
  14. Ditto The inflation pressure on the tire is the max, not the reccomended pressure. I'm thinking that the subie engineers know more about what their car requires than an aftermarket tire manufacturer.
  15. If you run your tires at 40psi, which is what i'm assuming is the max psi for the tire, you are going to have increased wear on the middle of the tread pattern, which will wear out the tires just as fast, if not faster than having them at a few pounds less than the manufacturers reccomendation.
  16. You should really use the EA-81 flywheel, the EA-82 holes are bigger and allow for slop, which hasn't been a problem for most people who have done it, but its always nice to remove those untangible variables if you can.
  17. Well, technically, it would be $129,000 instead of 29,000, but thanks for playing The above math is based off of the last model year production numbers USDM
  18. Yep right after, i've tried and tried, but i can't get my car stuck in the mud
  19. Take the panties out of your butt crack and come back down from Mt Fuji. Its No big deal, don't take him personally. Anyway, manarious, you are wrong too, its also required in the USA to have the ability to have parking lights on with the key out. I wouldn't cut the wires though. This is supposed to be a helpful place, try to play nice.
  20. The threaded and welded is the hardest, but it is the most secure. On mine, i have a set of two threaded rods welded together, theres just the right amount of offset for all the bolt holes to line up. would i do it again this way, not so much.
  21. Yeah, sure whatever:rolleyes: Its been done a bunch of times, at least in motor swaps using the JDM EJ20 turbo motors and the DCCD transmission. I think the USDM would be harder, but they do have aftermarket controlers for the JDM stuff, so i don't see why it wouldn't be possible. Just don't know why you'd want to.
  22. Nope, the old school EA-81 and some EA-82, all older than 89; have adjustable suspension. The EJ series does not. You can however put Outback springs on your car, which will give you more room for bigger tires.
  23. I tried it, you have to get the clutch and pressure plate right, cause if you don't you'll get massive slip. Didn't end up working, but thats cause i had a really custom motor that i couldn't get to work right.
