Hey dude, be happy you got a refund. I know members who have done buisness and have yet to see product or cash in the last year or so. Its gonna suck to lose AA as a Subaru Vendor. -Brian

There's no line that controls the diaphram. It uses vacuum thats supplied from the side of the carb. Where the diaphram mounts, there's a port... and it gets its vacuum from there. There is a gasket between the carb and diaphram, and if that is leaking you may experience problems like this. The mechanical lever may also be sticking. Might wanna try some penetrating lube and work it in the diaphram to see if that helps. I'd try that 1st. -Brian

Nice lookin brat Mike!! -Brian

Awesome, make sure to keep us up to date on your progress. We also have an off-road forum dedicated to wheelin subes! Much to be learned in there. -Brian

You are a madman Dave!!! How are you gonna decide what to bring to the WCSS? -Brian

ShawnW was talking about offering wire kits for EJ conversions. When the EA82T blows up in my RX again, im definatly gonna look for a running EJ22 to put in it. -Brian

Here's alittle graphic i put together a while back: -Brian

Chances are its 2 row. Im not sure how to tell but I dont think Subaru ever came with 1 row radiators. When i installed an intercooler on my RX, i noticed a huge difference in my engine temps. I recommend the Saab 900 Intercooler as the inlet & outlet are 2.38" which is the same diametere as your intake manifold. If you need some plumbing idea's, just check out my gallery here: http://gallery.usmb.net/album19 -Brian

Remember to trim those fenders when you lift it... before you destroy them That color is a famous subaru color, and i love the lower door panels. So... a Lifted EA82 and now a EA81 thats gonna get lifted?? What is it you do for a living again :-p -Brian

With a nickname like yours, im sure you'll always be welcome in this forum And look at me, i havent had a Gen1 for years... but i still post in here. -Brian

Mike thats a great idea. The extension cords Ive been workin with at work have 3 wires in them... +/- & ground. That would be perfect for wiring that way the insulation will keep the wiring all neet and tidy. I think i may do that, there just happens to be a 50' extension cord at work we are no longer able to use And there are 4 rows of volvo's in the junkyard. Do you have a location where I can find these relays? -Brian

I did the alloy thing on my last rig. I had to wheel all cautious like cause I was always affraid I'd come down on a rock and shatter a rim. This hatch will be seeing alot more granite/rock and I will be wheelin it like it was stolen! I would rather bend a rim than break a rim. I will have alloys for my street tires tho. But thats a whole 'nother paycheck in a whole 'nother month. -Brian

Phiz... i wanna use 14" to keep the wieght down, and cause I already have three useable 205/75R14 tires I will be using as spares. I already have my tires picked out... im going with 205/75R14 Kumho Venture MT's. They dont offer 27" in R15 for the kumho. Yes, you can find 27" at's for R15 but MT's for R15 are harder to find. Unless you go with Swampers or something... which im not willing to do. I posted a thread on LuvTruck.com and got a few replies. I really like the style of the Chevy Luv 14" rims, hopefully I can end up with a set soon. -Brian

Then just get the valve and be done with it. -Brian

the rim pictured above came on Dodge D50's and Mitsubishi Mighty max. I think CHevy Luv also had 14" 6lugs. -brian

Just learn how to brake properly. Dont slam on your brakes and you'll be fine. Give yourself 2 car lengths between you and the car in front of you. and on ice & snow, slow down. Ive coverted 3 subarus of mine. Ive never had any problems at all. Ive done some hard brake tests after replacing pads, and Ive never felt my rear end come out from me. Brakes in a straight line every time. If your really anal about things, get the valve and be done with it. Like ken sais, make sure you bleed your brakes real well. -Brian

Yeah i used to just hard wire my lights too. I did that to my old 100watt spotties and the switch got REAL warm and the insulation on the backside started to bubble. The new lights i bought are 130watt so I know i'll wanna be using a relay for those. I got some other 55watt lights I think will be safe. Maybe i'll look around on ebay and see what comes up. -Brian

Hey andy what relays are you going with? I Just ordered up some new off-road lights but they dont come with wiring kits. I was thinking i could get relays cheaper than a complete wiring kit. -Brian

It clamps into the knuckle. -Brian

Ive been looking for 14" rims in 6lug for quite some time now. Im trying to avoid buying brand new rims cause the selection out there is kinda lame. Unless i want basic 8 spoke steels, theres not much out there in the way of 14" rims. What im really looking for are some Dodge D50 rims. Something like this: I spent the day at 4 different junkyards... and every truck in every yard was rimless. What gives?!? IS there some type of rim junkie out there snatching up all the rims out there? I asked a guy at one of the yard if there's a place that sells used rims, but he was no help. I also stopped at les shwab, but their selection sucks! Anybody have a lead on some 14" 6lugs out there that wont break my bank? Thanks -Brian

Yeah... adjust your struts back down. Other than that, there's no way unless you modify your upper strut mounts, or your lower control arm. -Brian

search google for "tire calculator" There's a pretty good calc online that gives you tire sizes based on xxx/xxRxx. -Brian

GLad you got them finally. Are these going on the wagon or coupe? or both? -Brian

Wont be too soon, thats a different story tho. (Lease doesnt expire till end of August). -Brian

You can drive all over sacramento and search every house that is 5638 and would probably take you weeks to find the street I live on. You could punch my license plate into most any computer these days and find my address in a matter of minutes. Im not too worried about anyone knowing my house number -Brian
