  1. Dunno what its doing in the mudpit thread, since its not in the mudpit. With that being said, Brian (Monstaru) your video has finally been aproved! -Brian
  2. Ah, you out in the Rancho Marietta area? Really need a set of good EA81 struts. Anything off a brat would work, or any EA81 wagon. -Brian
  3. Only the hottest time of the year to drive through cali :-\ Guess I better bring sunscreen on next years road trip. -Brian
  4. Tomorrow, yes... this weekend is booked. Might have a few min on Sunday... actually, i might be in the garage workin on the RX on Sunday. -Brian
  5. EA81 struts. maybe even EA81 lower control arms. i need a drivers side window switch from a EA82 3door coupe. But I dunno when im gonna have extra money to start throwing at my cars again. Usually, i just like browsing and see what i might need. -Brian
  6. Look in the passenger side corner of your engine bay, close to the windshield. Locate a small plasic jug looking thing... should have one vacuum line leading to it from the motor, and another line that leads to a hard plastic line that runs under the cowl. Take the line that leads to the motor, cut it, install a T and run your boost gauge off of that. That line is a direct line off the intake manifold and will give you a pretty accurate reading for your gauge. If you need more help, bring your car over and your gauge and come pick up the exhaust I have in my garage for you... i can give you a better hand in person. -Brian
  7. How far SE of Sacramento are you? My 1984 Hatch is going to be in need of some parts, maybe this guy has what I need and I can give money to him instead of a junkyard. Lemme know what he comes up with, and i'd be happy to help in anyway I can. -Brian
  8. Why lift it if your not going to off-road it? Go with a 3" lift and 27x8.5 Kumho Venture MT's! Take it out and get muddy, you may lose 3mpg but you'll gain 4" in your smile. -Brian
  9. I admit, i dont like other people fueling my car either. But, thats no reason to avoid attending the largest subaru convention in the west! -Brian
  10. No time to travel to chico. Always wrenchin myself. I will actually be in Chico for business in a few weeks, was thinking of checking out one of the yards there... i keep hearing alot of good things about. -Brian
  11. Im able to shake the car with my roof rack, they hold very secure and ive never had a problem. I dipped the brackets in rubber to keep them from destroying my paint job, but I could really care less. -Brian
  12. I cut a hole in the roof so the bracket could stick through the headliner. Then I used an oversized piece of fiber board, and put it above the headliner, screwed the bracket to that, then screwed the fiber board in place through the headliner. Not sure if the EA82's as easy as the EA81, but I was able to undo just the front section of the headliner enough to squeeze everything up in there. -Brian
  13. TWB's work is outstanding, and the guy is honest and very well priced. But, he has since stopped wheelin subarus and drives a suburban. Im sure I can still call him and order up a bumper, but I think it will be cheaper to go with someone local. Jeremy, your surrounded by custom fabricators save some money on shipping and cut the waiting time. Im gonna start to draw up some idea's on a rear tire carrier/bumper and see what dr.smash will charge for the work. -Brian
  14. Radio Shack for CB antenna and supplies. -Brian
  15. Im in Sacramento. Ive had a hard time finding other old school subie guys to hang with. I havent been to the junkyard in a while, but there are a few near me and when i have time (and the money) i try to go and see what they got. There are a few of us in Reno NV, i go up there to hang out and wheel when I can. -Brian
  16. No one Im aware of Jeremy. I suggest you go see Dr.Smash. He's local, you'll save money on shipping and he did a great job on JB's tube doors. I believe JB already talked to him about tube bumpers and got price quotes... im thinking of using him for my rear bumper. -Brian
  17. I've been running SPFI pistons in my RX for almost 3000 miles now. No problems other than boost problems, maybe thats why its still running. I just fixed my boost problems (thanks to a broken up-pipe) and been driving it pretty hard lately. -Brian
  18. Tell me about it. I dont know what im gonna do when my tags expire -Brian
  19. I need shocks that are stiffer. The Gabriels Im running are very soft, and when I gas it, i stuff my rear tire into the fender's. Already chewed the crap out of 2 of my brand new Kumho's. -Brian
  20. On a turbocharged car, the intake air isnt going to matter much. As soon as it passes through the turbo, its gonna be hot as fck! Also, with your canister out of the way, and your intake pipe bent like that, you run the risk of breaking the intake pipe. Ive already been through one with my setup. I ended up buying a shorter filter and putting the intake pipe in the stock location. And even tho your saab 900 IC has metal ends, the mounting brackets should be the same. I doubt they changed the saab's chassi when they changed to metal IC's. -Brian
  21. Thats hot!! Front and rear mud flaps I like!! What rear shocks are you running? -Brian
  22. Nice car, nice setup. Im running a saab 900 IC on my RX and it works great. THe inlet and outlet are 2.38" which is the same as our throttle body intake. Here are some pix of my bracketry and piping for the IC installation. And my finished installation: Welcome to the board -Brian
  23. Doesnt matter Ken. You guys can have it in Canada, and I'll still drive to there to show up! -Brian
