I would be interested in seeing pix of the 5 others. -Brian

Good save, by editing your signature will I have a friend with a VF11 for sale. If it wasnt good, i was going to have it rebuilt. I figure its got to be better than the EA82 turbo and I dont want something as big as the TD04. Maybe i'll try to find a good EA82 turbo just to keep things simple. -Brian

Here's one with Shelton, WA in it: SJ6 Had to move the text, cause I used the Subaru star to mark the location. -Brian

Here we go.. Here's one basic Black & white: SJ3 here's a 2nd one, different position on the lettering: SJ4 And one in Color, just cuz SJ5 -Brian

Now that i know what we're lookin for, i will do some work on my logo a bit. As far as T-Shirts, will this be going on mugs by chance? I could use a #7 to add to my #6. Do we want black & white, or can i experiment with colors as well? Eric: I avoid talking on my phone at all costs. Mostly because its a cellphone, but I preffer to type over talk any day (can go back and correct stupid things I say... 99% of which no one ever see's ) -Brian

3 guys at work told me (after i told them this story) that they used that can of "Guaranteed to pass" stuff, and it all worked for them. I could use that, but the car needs a tune-up real bad from sitting so long, so I think that will be the route I will take. -Brian

Thanks for the clarification Will. Does anyone have a list of other turbos that will bolt to EA82T Headers? I dont mind getting a new downpipe and whatnot... but I would preffer to keep the stock EA82T up pipe. -Brian

I remember that wagon on the front page. Is that you and your wagon? Saw you at the WCSS6 when you rolled in, then i remember seeing the car again in the horse corral. Looks like thats a pretty capable rig. I didnt notice any other cars on your page... how many people are running your lifts? You know... there are other 15" rims out there that you can use I wouldnt be doing too much off-roading with t-type rims. -Brian

Im sure there is some sort of patent on the BYB lift and PK so far is the only one who has rights to copy it. I hope you didnt just remove that BYB kit and create a mock-up byb kit :\ I'll check out your page soon. -Brian

Its been known as Subaru Show as long as I can remember. I kinda like the roman numerals. Maybe we can take a vote I need to add something Subaru to it though, its just letters right now. -Brian

Nice, i didnt know the VF11 would bolt into a EA82T's up-pipe Now i know what turbo to get. I wonder if it will be too much turbo for the EA82. I want to have all this planned out and completed so I can decide what kind of exhaust to get as well. -Brian

2 quickies: SJ1 and SJ2 -Brian

I'll see what I can come up with. -Brian

The owner wont touch the car. Thats why I had to take it for its smog test, he didnt want to. Im going to go back and do a compression test on the engine. If it passes all 4 cyl, i will give him $250 for it (maybe lie and say its leaking in cyl3 and offer him $100) This car is in an apt complex in the projects. The couple who own it... well... they're crackheads. I cant let the car stay there or it will be towed, i think i'll go back saturday and get it. If it doesnt pass... I'll leave it in their name and park it somewhere (just kidding of course) -Brian

Im thinking since its only 16 over, it wont take much at all to get it to pass. Im going to let it sit with the current owners for a week, then call them and if its still available i will offer like $200 for the car (they want $650 currently). WHen its in my possession i'll tune it up. -Brian

It DID idle smooth at 900rpm. Then after the smog tech parked it, and I got in it to drive away... i noticed the idle wouldnt go above 650rpm and it had a stumble in it. Like it was miss-firing on one cylinder or something. -Brian

The smog tech was clueless when i asked what it could be. But it didnt fail by much. It passed everything at idle except for HG, and passed everything at 2500rpm (even passed HG at 2500rpm). I know we have a few smog techs and smog savy members, I'm hoping its something simple. Here are the results: TEST----RPM----HC (MAX)---HC (Measured)---CO (MAX)---CO (Measured) Idle:-----981-------120--------136(failed)-------1.00---------0.22 2500rpm------------150--------55---------------1.20---------0.29 The car has been sitting for a while. Im trying to get it to pass so I can buy it from the previous owners (who are absolutly NO Help at all). -Brian

Thanks miles. Just what i needed to know I was thinking of adding a cooler to keep the fluid temps low, but the AT wont be in the car much longer -Brian

Im sorry i said anything at all. There is no need to worry about anything. Please let this be a warning, if you use the USMB.net gallery. Utilize the message boards built in Gallery here http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos and backup anything you have on the old gallery. -Brian

The only thing in Jepordy is the domain name http://www.ultimatesubaru.org The servers, board, and all the information contained are paid for by Shawn, and will still be around. This could happen anywhere from 3 months from now, or 2 years from now. I forgot when the domain name expires. -Brian

its okay to be a noob. Im an AT Noob, and i wanted to hear from other's and their experiences with different types of fluid. -Brian

USMB.net will be expiring soon. So will ultimatesubaru.org, and the webhosts I used (yes, I.. me, with my own money thank you) will not be around for me to renew their license. I will get in touch with Shawn to make sure the Message board is saved, but the Gallery and everything on USMB.net will eventually be lost. I warned the USMB about 3 months ago to backup their images because I was going to be shutting down the old gallery. The albums I deleted the other night were old albums that have not been updated in over a year. I will be deleting more and more as i find the time (have to do it all manually). It just so happens i have a backup of the gallery from a while ago. I can try to find your pictures and send them to you, but I cannot promise it in a timely manner. They are in a folder, among thousands of other folders and one of over 9GB of images that were stored on the server. -Brian

Yeah, and if I use the pushrods from the non-hydro engine, i dont see how the pushrods will know. I cant wait to get started. Im waiting for the owner of the 84 to get it smogged. If it fails, I'll be at ground zero. Im crossing my fingers. -Brian

Jeff, no worries mate That info is exactly what i was looking for. If I put a non-hydro block with hydro heads... what can I expect to go wrong? -Brian

Ken, what is a surefire way of knowing wether or not my EA81 Carbbed from my '84 is Hydro or not? -Brian
