  1. Go metric, and don't look back, the rest of the world has
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. I believe some hankooks are made in Japan, but maybe i'm thinking of a different tire.
  5. You might just call up the local dealer and ask for parts, they bottle should have the manufacturer on the back
  6. Dependning on if they tied into the dimmer circuit, i'd say its probably just coincidence
  7. 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.
  8. Doesn't help the rest of us out kthnksbye
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. I'm in, it'll give me a reason to get the upgraded tranny in the 88
  12. Shoot, that'll buff right out.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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
  17. Yep right after, i've tried and tried, but i can't get my car stuck in the mud
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. Not on the GL 1600 models, never understood that one though Makes a great rig, i had austins water wagon, which was that car, with a lift and a 5mt and the 2.2, roast all 4 tires in 4wd Hi in second gear rolling
  24. while the "smart" side of the green and black are different. the "dumb" side for both is just a ground, so if you use the green into the black, or visa versa, it won't make a difference as far as the gound is concerned.
  25. I learned two things today, ok, i already knew them, but this is for the rest of you guys and girls. #1, when Ken tells you what to do with your wheels, LISTEN. #2, experience trumps your brand new shiny rig with the big lift and huge tires 8 days a week.
