A bad CV will cause vibration in the steering wheel. It might feel like one of the wheels is out of ballance. Check the boots on the CV. Once they fail, the actual joint isnt far behind. -Brian

I'll be up there tomorrow. Have to work on the 3rd, so noway to make it on Wednesday. Me and JB should be wheelin or at the yard or doin something -Brian

Rooinator put a throttle control on his gear shift using some shimano bike parts. I believe just the cable and the shifter from a mountain bike. He uses his rig for off-road use and said it came in handy to feather the clutch, brake and throttle at the same time. Didnt look too hard, im sure you can setup something similar. I would use your left leg for brake and clutch, and just setup a throttle control for your hands. Braking a car might be hard trying to use your arms. -Brian

Those are 195/50R15's. I know cause I sold them to him He had them mounted to those rims for road trip purposes. They did a much better job on the trip to the Subaru show than a set of Swampers would have. -Brian

Get us some pix. Im getting a AWIC from a friend and will like to install it. I wanna see how you connected the turbo to the intlet. -Brian

Looks like a standard rollbar to me. And i dunno who told you you cant have both. I removed a rollbar just like that from the junkyard and it had jumpseats in there. -Brian

I used to work at U-Haul (not proud of it, and was only a very short time) but i have to side with Bill on that argument. U-haul doesnt know the meaning of reservation's. I work for United Rentals, and my yard has 2 tow dollies that we rent out. You might want to check in your area, call one and they should be able to check their system to find out which locations carry a dollie. But you maybe required to have a Full Sized 1/2 Pickup. -Brian

I know how that whole "move it or lose it" works. At least they give you notice. When it happend to me, i just woke up the next day and the cars were gone. If they were in my garage or driveway they were safe. -Brian

We can also thank Tex for Jay... THANKS TEX :-\ (just kidding jay) anyhow, i have only converted a handfull of people to subaruism. One of them being my mother That wagon does indeed look sweet. The EJ looks natural. Is that a EJ20 or 22? I would love to do the same thing to my RX one day. -Brian

Has it been 10 days yet? -Brian

Has it been 10 days yet? -Brian

Yeah thats what i thought. Wonder what im getting at the wheels then? -Brian

Dont our cars make something like 115hp stock? With these graphs it seems your doing worse than stock... or am I reading it wrong? -Brian

Remeber the XT6's springs are supporting a ER27 while the RX's is just supporting a EA82T. The springs are stiffer from what ive read. -Brian

FWD XT6 springs are stiffer than RX springs, but are a drop in for our struts. -Brian

Chef Tim found some. He used them on EA81 but im positive EA82 hubs are the same. -Brian

Forget rear speakers... its an RX. I just ran new wire to the doors, put 6x8's in the doors and ran new leads for my deck. Used the cigarette lighter as a switched hot for the power. Problem is my Amps are in the rear mounted to my box, so I got tons of wire running from back to forth. -Brian

Just aired on PST. I saw the brat on the opening scene when they drove away (a top shot of the brat). Then the scene where she leaves the motel, has the kids in the jumpseats. They get a few closeups of the brat, like they're trying to advertise or something. T-Top's up... Brat Targa Stripe in full view. Looks like a very straight car. -Brian

Dunno if garner will be around... he hasnt been on the USMB for a while and I know he's super busy with stuff. Northguy, ive given up all hope of seeing my bumper. After the responce I got from john, i dont even want it now. I will seek the return of my money, or just count it as a loss. The one problem I have is, its not bolt in. I had the flanges removed from my stock downpipe, and had my 2.5" exhaust welded straight to the stock downpipe. I told garner not to include any flanges for the exhaust, just the turbo flange. Now I gotta find someone to cut the old DP off, and weld this one in place. Cant wait to try her out!! So excited!! -Brian

Thanks guys. My friend, who shall remain nameless, he came to help me do the springs and he absolutly hates the rims. Comments like these make me feel alittle better inside -Brian p.s. NO TO COILOVERS!!

Alittle oversteer never killed anyone. Actually, i do want the rear to swing out alittle if possible. -Brian

Naw its just where I want it now. Sits perfectly. -Brian

Nope... i got RX springs to replace the XT springs i had in there. A few months ago I put some GR2's from a 2WD XT in my RX to drop it. It dropped the front end about 2" and the XT springs are much softer than the RX ones. here is a side by side comparison of them: RX springs on the right, XT on the left. I sold my old RX springs and struts to Noah at the WCSS, and found a RX in the local yard and snagged the springs from that. Put them in yesterday, and i realize this is something i shoulda done along time ago. I might have been able to keep my 15" pugs if I had done this in the 1st place. -Brian

So i got sick of bottoming out everytime I left my driveway, hit a speedbump, took a turn too hard. So i got some RX springs from the junkyard and put them in yesterday. Got about 1" back from the front end, and the ride is alot more stiff. Matches the rear end now and is alot of fun to drive again. Here's a pic of before: After: -Brian
