I'd say yes. It looks like it uses a tension system to hold the legs in place. I'm pretty sure that it will hold the weight of an SKS, Tapco, ATI, or original stock. I own one(SKS). I know. -Patrick

Looks good. Kudos on a job well done! -Patrick

This is going to be one crazy project. I am definitely going to keep my eyes on this thread. -Patrick

HOLY CRAP! Your RX is simply Amazing! That makes me miss my wagon just a little bit more. Good Job though. I know that took a bit of time and effort, but the end result is breathtaking! Kudos to you Good Sir! -Patrick

I actually rattle-canned my whole car('88 GL-10 Wagon) matte black. No pics though, as it is in Texas and I'm currently in California, but it did look pretty sweet. -Patrick

You'd be better off doing as GD said and buying a new pump, versus a used one. They can be had fairly cheap and you get alot more peace of mind than wondering when the used one with X amount of miles on it will go out. And as an added plus, alot of the new pumps will usually come with some sort of free replacement warranty period. Just my 2 cents. Good Luck. -Patrick

Holy Cow! You are in Palmdale?!! That is a stone's throw away or a 20 minute drive from my current location. That is awesome. Too bad my old wagon couldn't make the trip. But I do have her distant cousin here('02 WRX wagon). - Patrick

I think that I am going to try to make a rear bumper diffuser and maybe some sort of under body panel for under the engine. Also I want to find(which may be impossible) an RX front airdam. Another thing is to try and fab a roof mounted spoiler for the rear, similar to the style that can be found on the mid to late '90s Legacy wagons or maybe one for an Impreza wagon. Something that doesn't stick up into the windstream, but would still help divert airflow passing over the top of the vehicle and direct it downward to pressurize the low pressure zone immediately behind the car. -Patrick

I wish that I lived closer. I would be willing to either take a chance on Murphy's old engine or that Attarco place. My wagon is in desperate need of an engine. - Patrick

I've never had to replace the wheel bearings on an '80s Subaru, but that bearing doesn't look right. I don't think that the bearings themselves are supposed to be showing like that(it has been a long day and also a long time since I have worked on my GL-10, so if I'm not seeing things right, someone PLEASE correct me). Anyway Markus56 has the right idea. Use the axle nut to pull the axle completely into place. But make sure that all of the splines are lined up, otherwise, it will not go through(as you probably already know). Good Luck and keep us updated. I'll keep checking back. - Patrick

I'm in love with those Vivio GX-R's. I wanted to get one while we were in Okinawa, but the wife was never convinced it was a good car. But she did, however, let me buy a '96 Toyota Glanza V, and later a '95 WRX wagon. Then after that I got a '95 Subaru Legacy GT wagon(twin turbo). That was the fun one. Ahhhhhhh, Memories!!! - Patrick

Vanishing Boy, I'm sorry for snapping at you like that. I guess if I had taken a little more time to look at your post count, I would've noticed that you are new to this. I am glad to hear that you got the parts that you need. I guess one thing you might possibly want to include in a post, is that if you have never undertaken a certain project that you may be posting about before, just put in there that you haven't ever done that before. It will keep people like myself, from jumping to conclusions and use a little more patience and understanding when replying. So again, I'm very sorry for griping at you in such a harsh manner. - Patrick

That is awesome! You are the man!!!! This one's for you! - Patrick

Good Grief! That has to be in mainland Japan. Something that nice would never have lasted in Okinawa(Salt, crazy drivers, tiny, curvy, dark alleys, stray animals that dart out in front of your vehicle while driving down the previously mentioned alleys, typhoons, etc.). Kudos for the awesome post of one great old car! - Patrick
