Sorry, I should update my signature. Its a AWD L wagon. I will be hitting the junkyard this weekend... Im making a list Thanks for this. Will the rear disc size be the same across all these model years as well? I ordered a full set of front & rear rotors off ebay for the '95 AWD wagon and want to be sure the calipers will accept the pads and be the right size, etc... I didn't even think about the ABS, I will have to check under the hood and see if I have a ABS brain.

I still cant find any guide written by Subyluvr.

I didnt realize my car had rear drums until the other day. I already ordered a set of replacement rotors and pads for the rear. Id like to know what all is involved with converting rear drums to discs? Also i need to know if i can use impreza parts as well? Thanks in advance. p.s. if you read this and your initial reaction is to tell me to search, dont waste your time.

Yeah dude... I have no idea why you keep blowing out and bending your struts.

Thanks everybody. I did a search and the only real guide I found was yours Olnick. In yours, you mention to Subyluvr his guide, but I could not find his.

So i picked up this wagon and the 5spd has a rediculous amount of slop in it. Today i pulled the shifter boot expecting to see a couple mangled shifter bushings, only to find everything in real good condition. Is the slop going to be internal or is there something else I can check? Thanks -Brian

I am always going to remember seeing his smile at every WCSS i attended. A rare soul was he. And he is going to be missed by many. Including me. Rally On Ed!! -Brian

Adam, this thing is looking good!! Glad to see you still have this beauty and are making improvements.... but.... ...IFS??? Why not a sammy frame with Yota axles??

Don't know where you heard that, but your mistaken. Sean did build a RX... but this was not the one.

Those are not Pugs, they are just some crazy 13" subaru wheels. I got them off of a 1978 DL Sedan in the Pick-n-Pull here. I had never seen these rims before, and still to this day have only seen 1 other set in person (on a Gen1 at a WCSS). I did not do the exhaust mods, and im sure the motor and all the mods I did are long gone. When I sold that car, it had a Hybrid EA82T with a EA82 SPFI shortblock, and pistons. I did put the suspension on the car, and the decals.

Welp... its been a while. Thought maybe some people would like to see what I've been up to with this. Here's my latest build: apparently the new forum software wont accept my image??? way to go USMB. error: "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." If you are interested, here's a lengthy build thread located here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1903755 Here are some recent video's her in action: What I see on my Ground Station- What the GoPro see's-

It was built by a guy here in Sacramento CA. it still has a 1600cc in it. All the running gear is Subaru.

It doesn't really crawl... but its definitely off-road! I sold my Axial AX-10 RC Crawler in order to build it. I have a Losi MiniCrawler still that does all the sitting around my AX10 used to.

DUDE WTF!?!?! BOBBY LONG?? WHEN? HOW?? I Have been out of the loop for too long i suppose

My buddy & I cut his cross member in pieces to build a custom mount for his Chevy motor & trans. We used the sides, but welded in a plate for a new bottom. Im sure you could do it in an hour... cut each end off... bolt them to the frame. Tack replacement plate in place... remove and finish.

I got bored. And strapped my FPV gear to my daughters Losi Mini-Crawler. Then sat on the couch and inspected my backyard for any storm damage

Welcome to the dark side. Wheelin' will never be the same AGAIN!

Well here is what my V-Tail copter looks like now: Everything is going into a new frame: Got the main wiring finished last night: Could be flying by the end of the day, but since its going to be raining for the next few days I think I will continue to take my time. I have a few electrical components to place and wire still... but its lookin good

Yeah that is totally fake. The guy has a series of fake videos. He's pretty funny.

Here it is with its new video system. The keychain cam mounted to the front records in 720p onto a microSD card. It also sends video out to my video Transmitter that is mounted on the tail, and that transmits video to my ground station: I am using a RCA to USB video converter to view the video feed on my laptop. It works pretty good. It will be even better when I get GPS and other fun stuff Here are a few video's I have made in the past couple days. I plan on taking it to a real park tomorrow and stretch out a bit. Camera Testing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qGCTl0pTmk First full FPV flight: Second FPV flight from yesterday:

Well I got tired of the YAW control, so I got rid of the steering servo and built a new tail section. They call this a V-Tail. I got it flying again today, here's some video of it.

No. Keeping it in one spot is a chore. I have a more advanced flight controller on order that includes a GPS module. It will have 4 additional flight modes, including altitude hold & position hold. Then maybe I could pull it off

Some new video of me getting crazy at the park yesterday:

Some new video from the onboard camera

Whats more amazing is a guy on the RC Forums modified the firmware that runs on the flight controller so it bypasses the broken ACC sensor, and i was able to fly that control board again. Here is a video I made showing the damaged flight controller, and me flying with it again: My friend was filming that video, but he wasnt standing very far from me. I guestimate my tricopter was 60' from my transmitter when it lost signal, and regained it. I later read there is a "dead zone" in the 2.4ghz frequency and its best to fly with your antenna at a 90 degree angle to your craft. Since learning that, i have been getting the tricopter higher and higher and it has yet to fail. I even got ballsy and strapped my Camcorder to the Tricopter to get some decent onboard video. And here is some short video I shot with it setup: I am amazed at how cheap its become too Shawn. Something like this would cost thousands 10 years ago. Hell, even today you can spend $3000 on a high-end FPV quad. I have already gathered enough spare parts to build a 2nd one. This next craft will be a standard Quadcopter using a 450mm frame. This 2nd build is only setting me back about $110-ish.
