So I came up with this idea since I have tons of spare stuff laying around and I don't feel like spending a small fortune on a lift kit. I'm going to try stacking the top hats for the front struts (I'm still working to see if that same idea might work for the rear) ill Remove the studs and use some grade 8 bolts That pull the top hats together. Also planning to double up the trailing arm spacers from my parts car for a slight body lift. Comments? Opinions? Suggestions?

https://andersondesign-fab.com/product/55/ These would be a better choice I'm guessing

Cool thanks for the input I'm currently looking to install a lift in my 97 outback. I currently am getting 03 Forester struts but I would like a bit more than the 1 inch lift that I will get from that. Maybe I'll just go with the the 1 " strut spacers from either Anderson or subtle solutions

So i found these prowling ebay... Anyone have experience with this seller or other sellers on ebay? was the product what you expected? The only thing that came to mind for me was if these spacers would effect chamber/caster angle. and if it did would the chamber bolt on the strut be able to adjust for it?

So I have a 1998 Subaru outback and I have a 02 Subaru forester that im parting out. So on the off chane the motor doesn't sell I planned to rebuild it and was wondering if it would be feasible to put into the OBW. I know I will have to use my older intake/harness, and possiably the coolant passage but is there anything else that would stop me from swapping this SOHC into my outback?

ok cool thank you. so should I plug the vacuum line going to the dizzy with something before I test it then?

Nope no leaks that I know off. But either way The symptoms of retarded timing is exactly what it is doing. I have a distributor on the way so hopefully that helps the problem.

ok so I tried finding the green connecters but I could only find 1 end. I've read that the green plugs only make a difference of around 3deg. But I could be wrong. Either way, I cant get it any better than 5-7btdc so im a ways off.

O so im working on the loyale again and I have gone through and replaced the bad turbo, done a compression test, VERY CAREFULLY set the timing, and checked all the spark plugs for good spark. SO now im still trying to figure out why the car revs so slow. My best guess is the distributor is not working properly. I got 5 deg. of timing when I checked. I read that on the turbo models it is supposed to be at 20 deg. Le time know what you guys think. I looking at getting a distributor now but if that's not the issue I don't wanna waste my time.

thanks for the input guys. Should help me locate one quickly.

ok So I have a 90 Loyale turbo and the distributor needs to be replaced. Just wondering if the turbo dizzy is the same as the N/A dizzy. if so im in luck...if not im out $200 bucks

Well I pull the vacuum line and still no boost. So I took the turbo off. Seems like it was pretty hard to turn. I believe it may have been oil starved. Either way I got a new one in the mail so hopefully I can get some boost soon. But I'll have to take out the lines to the turbo and see if they got clogged or something. Hopefully I can figure everything out

Thanks Uberoo that's exactly what I was looking for!

looks pretty nice with that 2" lift. What size tires are you running?

yeh forsure I have enough cash to at least get the lift kit then ill hopefully be able to save up for new tires and other offroad goodies.
