I installed a Saab 900 Intercooler and noticed my engine temp dropped a notch on the gauge. I am still running stock boost and have a Manual Boost Controller I bought off ebay (for like $12 shipped), but im not going to install the boost controller until I put a scoop to cool the Intercooler. -Brian

Hey that looks Great!! -Brian

Im planning on doing the same thing. When I pull my engine I think i'll do my belts and every gasket I can reach. To make things easier I'm planning on buying a complete engine gasket kit from Napa. It should have everything from the intake manifold to the rear main seal. That and the Timing belts, small odds and ends shouldnt run me over $250 if I shop well. -Brian

whats wrong with bears pizza? -Brian

Eli, get me the alternator The jumpseats will work but the rollbar will be too skinny for the bed. -Brian

Did you already give the car away? Im not far from oakland and might be able to find it a good home here in Sacramento. Also, being the subaru Junkie that I am, i wouldnt mind being interviewed explaining why Subarus are such great cars... and how your 250k miles is nothing compared to most subarus still on the street Stick around, even tho your now a Honda owner. -Brian

Yup, it was craigslist cause I was chatting with Brad when he found it. He linked me the listing and I bet him $5 it would be a XT and not a RX. I dont know if I won or not... but anyhow im glad you got it brad. -Brian

Craigslist.org -Brian

Looks nice, get new rims Yeah, evil and good fit it well. Thats a good color I like it. -Brian

Small trailer for the bike would work too, if it were moto. -Brian

You cant haul the bike in the impreza.... ....yet. -Brian

Please do... PM me or IM me and just name your price. You know im good for it. Its the last thing my interior needs. -Brian

I'll buy your steering wheel and adapter. -Brian

Maybe you shoulda ditched those skimpy little 13" rims. Sucks -Brian

I hope Subiesport is there and does a article on the show. I think we should just take alot of pictures of the show and then send them to the 4wheel mag's afterwards -Brian

Someone broke into my RX and got my CD player and my CD's. Sucked but I wasnt upset. It gave me a reason to upgrade. I hope i dont get hit again, cause this deck is 2000x better than my old. After it happend I realised how upset I really would have been if I had to duct tape a plastic bag over my window. Thats primarily why I dont lock my car at night anylonger. -Brian

I think that heads up display you see, is just the rear view mirror showing through the windshield. -Brian

Yes. -Brian

My 1978 Wagon wouldnt go past 80... even in 4th, downhill with a backwind. That car later blew a rear main seal... and i drove it for another 50miles with no oil. Sold it for $500 Anyhow, i have no idea what th MPG was. -Brian

Yup, sounds like a subaru alright. I decided to try to race a Corvette off the line at a red light. except I was making a right hand turn. I had my tires already cranked and when the light turned I dropped the clutch... Yeah, i also dropped my front CV as well Doesnt take much to blow one up, expecially when the tires are turned all the way. The idling has nothing to do with your CV. -Brian

I only ran into a few problems. one of them being the old bolts were rusted in place. While removing a couple, i did strip the threads out. I went to Ace Hardware with one of the bolts from the PK lift, and bought the same length bolt, but just a larger thread size (make sure its not TOO large, it still has to fit through the lift blocks). Then I bought a tap of the same thread, and re-tapped my holes. When I installed the lift, I used locktite and i have not had to mess with it since. That was 2 years ago. Anyone about to install a lift should expect to run into a couple problems, just take your time and try not to break any knuckles (punching the car, or the garage floor). The steering linkage was very difficult. Primarily because the protective coating PK applies, makes the inner diameter of the linkage smaller. I just used a flathead screwdriver and wedged it into the gap on the linkage to widen it... then alot of patience and cursing and it finally went into place. The engine and tranny will be hard as well.. expecially if it isnt lined up correctly. Dont tighten anything until every bolt is in place. Loosen anything that might make it difficult to manuver the engine/tranny. Once you have your blocks in place, carefully thread the bolts into the old spots. This is where your going to strip something... if one bolt is off, dont force it. Just take your time and think things through. And make sure you have a BFH handy -Brian

Great! More fun things I cannot do this weekend -Brian

No playing hookie. Im trying to get promoted and thats definatly not the way to do so. Besides I need the $$$ and Im thinking of working a day of OT next week. The free day i get, i may come up on. I might have to hit the Sacramento Yards this weekend after work tho -Brian

CRAP!! There's no way I can get Saturday off... but maybe friday. THIS friday tho... hrm, that will be hard. How come I havent gotten the email yet? -Brian

Can I share a spot with JB? I will only have 1 or 2 things for sale. Maybe a small box of nic-nak's -Brian
