Just get a $50 jobbie from walmart. I have one portable plastic unit I carry around. Sure it takes a couple minutes to go from 15 to 30psi, but you cant expect much if you buy a cheap unit. The $200+ units are what you are looking for, maybe keep an eye on ebay and score a deal on used one. -Brian

He has stock 13" steel rims, painted black with chrome beauty rings. Yes, a very sharp brat indeed! -Brian

Lights look great, but I dont think the deflector works on that brat. -Brian

Ahhh... i see now. Yes, very ingenious but im not sure how Subaru will like us using both their logos. -Brian

Looks like 2 subaru logos -Brian

Im pissed too. I let my subscription run out cause i was tired of reading about how to tweak my impreza... Now all of a sudden they got old school everywhere Thanks Alot. -Brian

Wow... is the link for the search feature broken? This seems like one of the most popular topics today on this board. Lets start from scratch eh'.... #1 mod, prolly the 1st thing you should do... intercool it! Saab 900 Intercoolers work great as the inlet and outlet are the same diameter as the EA82T Throttle Body. WRX TMIC's work too, more fabrication is involved. Other than that... ANY intercooler can be made to work, they all do the same thing. #2... BOV. Dont use one. Use a BPV (byPASS Valve) which directs the blown off air back into your intake, post MAF/pre turbo. A BOV will confuse your MAF and the ECU and you'll have a rich condition after every shift. #3... more boost. Check ebay for Manual Boost Controllers. You can search google and make one... but I spent $50 on a GFB MBC and it works 100x better than the homeade jobbie i got. #4... Pistons, high compression block. Its been done before. Im in the process of doing it. there's plenty of info on this board from others who have done it as well. Search topics by Calebz, WJM, JWX. Those are a few people that have run high-comp blocks on their EA82T. 150hp can prolly be had if you intercooled and boosted your EA82T. -Brian

Whats it for? tightening the tension pulley's? -Brian

Is this tool required to do the timing belts? I havent gotten that far in my engine build yet, but not quite sure what that tool would be used for. I see it in the FSM and all... but maybe im missing something. Thats a good idea, i shoulda grabbed an extra cam sprocket from the JY. -Brian

Copy that.... how about the Subaru font I'll try that when i return home from work. -Brian

Rob have any suggestions on a font? What kinda look are you going for? -Brian

I'll be working tomorrow. Full day of OT Tho -Brian

Let me talk to a dude at work. He races for the SCCA and yes, your right... your cage must be certified or else it'd be a complete waste of time and tube. I'll see if he has anyone local he knows that is certified to install cages for rally use. -Brian

Think of it this way john... any of those kits are gonna be 10000x better than the 20yr old gasket and crap thats in that hitachi right now. You dont need anything state of the art, just as long as its a complete kit. Take your time, and make sure everything seals properly and you'll be fine. -Brian

Definatly good news. That place was too good to be true, let alone shut down. I do hope we can have another WCSS there, part 3 has yet to be beat (in my eyes). -Brian

Me either, it was something i put together for Brad (subaru_styles)... he didnt like it either. I will mess with fonts later and come up with some other options. Right now, my computer needs some work done to it. -Brian

I was planning on driving up there and then taking the wagon. But now, the jeep has no stereo... and a 2hr drive in the jeep is bad enough, remove the stereo and i believe thats what hell is like. -Brian

Nother font idea. I'll try something different later after work. -Brian

I have a hundred or so different fonts to choose from. Found a webpage with 6500 the other night and just went crazy. Can always add Mount Hood Oregon, 2006 or anything else we want around it.... just focusing on logo for this. -Brian

You know what i think. Should also trim your front fender alittle too while your at it. -Brian

Why is the hood and the rear gate still on? I say strip it and then jump it You could probably loose another 80+ pounds. Dont forget, those pesky windshields are heavy too. -Brian

If the engine has a clutch fan behind the radiator, check all the blades on that. If some are worn out or broke it may make funny noises. And throwout bearings like to whistle when they go out. Usually you can tell its a throwout bearing if the sound goes away with movement of the clutch peddle. -Brian

How about something around this idea?? -Brian

I think those emblems with the wreath make it look like more of a VFW event instead of a Subaru event. Maybe if we incorporated something automotive into the design, like a piston, a steering wheel... something? Those all look like real bad knockoffs of the subaru logo, not a custom WCSS logo. -Brian

When was the last time you replaced the coil? -Brian
