Yeah zap... back then i was encoding everything in DIVX. Things have changed since then, so some people today may not be able to view those vids'. Ive moved so i'll pm you with my new addy. -Brian

THere's video of that 2nd dude.... its amazing. -Brian

Sure... did you check google? Did you check my rim thread either? There are a few manufacturers out there that have what your looking for. Summit Racing sells brand new 14" 6 lug rims for under $30 a piece. I got my rims from a Chevy Luv. -Brian

Yes definatly an excellent link. I think i'll just wire all my accessories from the 2nd battery, and use an isolator. -Brian

Im also thinking of doing this, i have three electric air pumps i am going to install, along with 3 sets of lights and the stereo etc... Will the 2nd battery help me while the motor is running as well? Or is it only beneficial when the car is off? And yeah, i wouldnt attempt this mod without doing the GM or at least the XT6 alt mod. -Brian

Really depends on your model year and your location. If this was a CA car or not, high altitude or not. -Brian

Do you have a boost gauge? Caleb is right, a 2psi drop from a saab 900 I/C is alittle too much. I run a saab 900 I/C and i see about 6psi, without it i was at 6psi. If you want that extra 2psi back, PM Me... i have a pretty nice MBC I am willing to sell. -Brian

Dont know if their lift is for the iMpreza. Might be for only Loyale, GL & DL's. mIght want to make sure. -Brian

Awesome, then your car can become pretty capable. There's a guy by the name Soobyclimbs on here who has a very well equiped outback wagon. There are a couple ways to increase your ground clearance, and even a guy whos running swampers on his outback. Take a look around, feel free to use the search or just browse a few pages of this forum. There is alot to be learned. -Brian

Depends on how much plastic cladding you wanna break off. -Brian

7/8 socket will also work on that bolt. -Brian

IIRC the backing plate is actually welded or a part of the caliper bracket, in order to remove it you'd have to cut it from the rest of the backing plate. I dont see a problem running without it, just make sure you dont damage the structural integrity of that caliper bracket... that part is kinda important. -Brian

I used to zap, but i sold my other video card with video capture capabilities. I had all the original in my camcorder bag, which was stolen when my house got broken into. All i have left are small snippets of the trip. Eric took his sweet time getting through, but must of it was him just having fun with the obstacle. Ken did it with such grace, and I was affraid of breaking my car (having to use the same vehicle to drive me back to Cali a week later). Rob did it with no fear, and peddle to the metal! I think he cleared that obstacle in a matter of seconds. -Brian

Thats awesome! Does your rig have a locked rear end or limited slip rear? Amazing how you plowed through most of that stuff. -Brian

I was putting video up on myspace, and found this old gem laying around. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=862056326&n=2 I have other video of Ken, Eric & Rob going through the same obsticle. I think i even have video of Austin as well. Maybe i'll dig those up. -Brian

Didnt think about that, but yeah... if you lift the rear end of the car it will make it easier to adjust the rear torsion bar. -Brian

Yeah tomorrow im gonna take the top off the carb, and check to see what jets i have. Then clean them thoroughly. I cant afford a rebuild kit just yet, but if a good cleaning doesnt help then i'll spring for the rebuild. -Brian

Free rev too. I also forgot to mention the car bucks when i slowly accelerate. If I go WOT in gear, the car hesitates for a bit... then goes like a raped ape. No bucking at WOT, only if I try to keep the rev's down. Everything im reading on the net about this thing, doesnt talk about adjusting the float bowl. -Brian

Yeah a couple have done it. Zap has also bobbed his brat once. -Brian

I remember that car at the WCSS3 mick. What a rocket that thing was. -Brian

So I installed my Weber today. I got the carb from a Subaru in the junkyard, so I assume it has the propper jets. I read the Weber thread, and did some searching on the net about these things, but I figured I'd just throw this thread up here and see if any of the weber guru's could help out.. So I bolted the thing to the manifold. Plugged everything that wasnt used, put the Hitachi fuel nipple on... with the hitachi return line. THat way I use the fuel line and the return line off the same nipple. Figured out the throttle cable and turned the key. Amazingly, it started right up. I was stoked, figured everything was golden until I gassed it. As soon as I gas it, the engine falls on its face. If I feather the throttle it does alright, but if I go WOT from an idle, the motor sounds like its about to die. Mostly whenever the 2ndary is open, the car bogs down real bad. I read some internet literature on the carb, figured out how to adjust the mixture and everything... and i got it to run alittle better. But on the test drive, it just bogs out whenever the 2ndary is open. Everything I read was on adjusting the primary, didnt see anything about the 2ndary. But I did see a screw in the back of the carb that I assume is for the 2nary??? I made some adjustment to that but it did no good. Not sure what jets are in this carb, but I was gonna take the top off tomorrow and take a look around. Just wondering if this would be a problem with jets or something I can fine tune? Thanks, -Brian

You'll need a 4WD Wagon Gas Tank, the hatch's wont work and the 2WD wont work. LIke Chux said, everything else is bolt up. Oh... you'll also need a 4WD Wagon driveline as the Hatch's is shorter. -Brian

Ah... good point, i left them hanging there. I'll have to make sure i go back and take care of that. -Brian

Gotchya.... thanks -Brian

Im finishing up my weber install... last thing I gotta do is wire the electric choke? What do I tap into??? THanks, -Brian
