Toy with the timing... find out what it's at stock and bump it up 5 degree's or so If its carburated you can modify the carburator, but you must remove it. You dont need to dismantle it but you can make it so it will open both barrels manually. Ive done it on my EA81 and i could tell a difference. -Brian

if its a constant sound than it could be bearings. If its intermittent and causes vibration its probably a CV. Rear CV's rarely go out on stock sube's, so im thinking maybe its a bearing. -Brian

I drove it out of him over AIM. I had to sell him my soul, but its worth it! I dont think Im going to put clear lenses in the turn signals until i find a way to wire a 120watt bulb or something -Brian

I'll be there. All weekend, ariving Friday afternoon... will leave when the groundskeeper kicks me out -Brian

I think it was the time we got in a high speed chase in Longview... or was that the same trip. The trip when i we got stranded at Mt. Hood was my 2nd vacation when I was a senior. That was 6 years ago. -Brian

I got your gas money. Maybe after i get back from the show. And I think its been more than 6 years... my 1st winter vacation in Clatskanie was when I was a sophmore... that was like 8 years ago! 5 years ago you drove up to Seattle with Jason in his T-Bird to see me on my layover. I was looking at that Exedy clutch kit on ebay, and i think i'll get that. Im also going to re-seal my EA82 while its out. I could do it myself, but it would be cool to have you here to help -Brian

THats not a bad price to have that lense shipped to you. Junkyard prices might be in the $30-$50 range for a complete composite light. The bulbs might be alittle costly as well. -Brian

Eli's the man! Ive known that kid for quite some time (how long now E?) and I'm glad to hear he's finally doing some good in this world Which clutch did you go with? I will need to do my clutch here soon... Eli! Want to come do it for me? -Brian

Yeah i love the clear lenses as well. WHY WONT YOU TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT THEM!!!! :-\ -Brian

Drill it on the outside edge of the lid. That way the filter is still sealed. You wouldnt want to drill holes in the center of the lid, cause that way unfiltered air would be able to enter the carb. If you dont want to buy a weber, you can do a 2bbl mod to the 2bbl hitachi's. I did it, and i think i have a write-up somewhere on it. -Brian p.s. FOUND IT! Here it is http://subaru4wd.usmb.net/Sep2002/howtos/carb.html

Woah... looks almost as good as my front end -Brian

Stock spoiler's maximum downforce is around 0lbs of actual downforce. Our cars dont reach speeds where a spoiler will supply much downforce. The wieght of the spoiler itself is probably putting more downforce on our rear wheels than the wind that passes over it. As far as looks, I saw that fiero spoiler would look nice on a RX. If it were painted to match and installed properly. I think our coupes look 10,000x better with a spoiler. -Brian

The K&N will help, the holes in the filter cover will help, but a scoop would do almost nothing. Would look cool tho. I cut a huge chunk out of the side of my filter lid on my carbbed EA81. I noticed a small difference. The weber is the best way to go. -Brian

Eli has one, he goes by SuBrat84. Where you at E? -Brian

Brad... me and JB should be ariving Thursday afternoon-ish. We'll be meeting Dave and Jeremy in Vancouver for pizza and then we have a room there for Thursday night. Not sure when the caravan's leaving from Vancouver, but maybe we can all meet up, the more the merrier! -Brian

How much did you pay for that little gadget NKX? -Brian

Yeah, i am cheap... i guess I wasted $12. There are some better looking ones for upwards of $90 to $100 that do the same thing though, they look like they're built alittle better but I dont know if its worth that much $$ We'll see how the replacement turbo does and then i'll worry about higher boost. -Brian

Its not rocket science.... I did have it installed wrong initially and the turbo wouldnt boost past 6psi, no matter where the dial was. Now that Ive swapped the lines (to the correct configuration) it boost up too 15psi no matter where the dial is (and 15psi is when i let off the gas, im sure it would go higher). I was thinking of cutting the spring, but when I took it apart to seal the fittings, the pieces looked pretty cheap... im thinking of getting something alittle better if I cant get this one working. -Brian

THATS IT! -Brian

Well... i dont know what to do so Im just going to remove the MBC. Im thinking the unit itself is faulty, but the spring and bearing look to be in good condition. -Brian

Add a 3" lift and another 6" of tire and it gets worse. My EA81 with a 4spd Manual would average 35-45 through the mountain passes of Northern California, and the mountain passes between California and Oregon are even worse. If you want move oomphf, get a weber DGEV 32/36 to replace your old carb. -Brian

Nope... looks like Andrew was right: Mine is on the other side. -Brian

Im pretty sure my tach is on the right side of my speedo. -Brian

NIIIICE!! Hurry and restore it. Since its RHD im guessing you are overseas somwhere... that and it has dual carbs. Very nice find! -Brian
