Ive seen that brat twice in person, both times it passed by me on the street on both visits i made to Seattle. I waved at your Brian -Brian

Hey... it could be worse, I could have NOS stickers on my car. And if it were girly, i'd have Backstreet Boys and N'Sync stickers on my car. Pantera is far from girly my friend :cool: -Brian

Im going to design my own USMB decals. No offence, but I dont particularly like the ones floating around right now. I may just put Subaru4wd.net decals on and link from my page. Not quite sure yet. -Brian

They didnt have a slayer one in white -Brian

Yeah, ive been told it uses an EGT as well. Im not worried about that, will convert when I get my new downpipe. -Brian

I have a Metallica & NIN decal too. I didnt want to clutter the car, i think these will do for now. The metallica one is an oldskool design, but its from the Hetfield design that was included with the box sets. Just metallica in writing, no skull. I'll find a place for them -Brian

Couldnt help myself... had to add some decals to the car -Brian

I can hear my BPV working, i like it better than the idea of having an obnoxious BOV. I used (3) 2 3/8" I.D. 90 degree rubber elbows and some 2 3/8" O.D PVC Pipe. Im having problems with the pipe staying together under boost, so Im going to re-do everything with some mandrel bends using 2 3/8" O.D. Stainless Steel. I'll also invest in some silicon couplers and maybe a silicon reducer. The turbo outlet is 1 3/4" O.D. IIRC The reducer im using goes from 1 7/8" I.D to 2 3/8" I.D. wich fit perfectly on the 90 degree comming from my turbo. -Brian

I'll be recieving one shortly. Before I get in over my head, I thought I'd check here to see who knows what about em? I dont know anything other than it was used by a friend of mine for a race car of his. Until he upgraded to a Legacy, now he is going to let me use it on my RX. -Brian

Another picture of Subaru Evolution This time its a trip to Oregon with Soobme & Adam NDJ. Same layout, unlifted... 3" lifted... and 6" lifted. Same trip... different shot: -Brian

I saw that on craigslist as well. Thats a very sweet score, those rims alone are probably worth $300. -Brian

Keith. If the problem has just started, then chances are its your CV joints. Bearings tend to show signs of failure before making clunking or clacking sounds. If you start to feel vibration at higher speeds, then i would call napa for a reman While your Doing the CV, might as well do the bearings -Brian

The 15's will fit just fine w/out a lift. To keep your speedo correct i would advise getting a set of 195/50R15's or 205/50R15's. My RX has 195/50's on it, and they look great. No rubbing, no modifications, straight bolt on. Do make sure you get the peugeot lug nuts as well, it is vital that you use those with the 15" alloys you are about to get. -Brian

I like this IC because its inlet and outlet are the same diameter as my intake. The plumbing is very simple and it's an effective intercooler. My hoodscoop completly engulfs the IC as well. -Brian

I plumbed my BPV the other day. Just had time to snap some shots. It looks pretty crude, but it's all functional and that was my goal. THe car actually performs better than it did before (which was another goal). Version 2.0 will be stainless steel mandrel bends with a couple silicone couplers. You can see my epoxy on the bottom of the BPV, it came apart... i'll need to fabricate a gasket to seal it better and find a different way to attatch it. Stay Tuned..... -Brian

You betcha Jared. If your traveling to WCSS, stop by and i'll follow you like I did on your way back from WA. Just dont get us pulled over again -Brian

Yeah, i will actually have the mechanic here at my work weld a bead around all the tube. Will be alot cheaper than having a shop roll them. -Brian

The cig lighter is a switched 12V. I used that for my stereo and it worked great. -Brian

Which brat are you going to do? I think your black one would look good with the kit on it. You'd need to do something about the front though. Put some 14" pug's on or maybe a set of 15's and you'd have a pretty slick brat. -Brian

Found this image while surfing through Jareds webpage. That was taken out front of my place when he stopped on his way through a while ago. Thought I'd share -Brian

Thats awesome Jared I bet you were stoked. I havent fired up my wagon in a while either, but it needs alittle more than just good gas. I thought you had other plans for the diffs? -Brian

I cut my grill (well, got another from the junkyard to cut) and it wasnt hard at all. If you have a dremel, get a couple cutting disks and find a router bit. THe router bit goes right through the plastic and makes it very easy to carv your way through the grill. I used bondo to fill gaps and create the look i was after. I was later told about fiberglass and would recommend that over the bondo. Your IC install is looking very good. I would suggest getting some 2.37" mandrel tube for your throttlebody, connect that to your intercooler pipe with a silicone reducer (much cheaper than silicone bends) or goto home depot and get a rubber reducer. I bought my reducer, it goes from 2 3/8" (2.37") to 1 7/8", and it was about $3. -Brian

Dan, thanks for those links. I found 2.38" U bend pipe for $20 from RoadRace, but their shipping policy and ordering process looks to be a huge pain. No idea how soon I'd get it, or how much it'd cost to have it shipped. I'll send them an email or something. I'd like to get a couple U bends and just cut em in half to create my 90 degree bends. I definatly need to replace this rubber stuff i got -Brian

Im finally getting 2 days off now Russ, i need to make a trip down to San Jose I priced Silicone hose, and for 90 degree bends they're $63 a piece Im looking for a cheaper solution than Silicone (although, it looks so pretty). There's a muffler shop behind my work, im going to talk to him tomorrow and see if he can just bend up some 2.37" pipe. I have plumbed my BPV already. Did it today after work. A day of driving without it was giving me the willies... i kept expecting something to explode (like the cheap hose I got for the install). So far its all working out great tho, the car feels like a whole new car. I cant wait to install my scoop. -Brian

Wierd, the pix seem to be working for me. -Brian
