Revisiting old threads... Did you get your rig lifted on struts and taller tires? If so do you have pix? I'm still sittin gon spring ideas. Leaning toward scorpion springs maybe raised scorpions, but also thinking about a 1" lift block kit too... I think there are som other OB subframe parts to get which hel reallign axles with the OB strut lifting.. Anyhoo, interested in your progress..

x2, I'm there too...

just browsing old posts. Did you ever get the scorpions, or raised scorppions? I'm interested in them as well and want to get reports of their riding characteristics... thanks

revisiting old posts today... Do you have updated pix with beefier tires, or are those the final tires on this rig? Can you give some driving impressions of stock springs compared to raised scorpion springs? I'm told they're WAY stiffer, like washboard road driving off road... Interested in scorpion spring ride and raised spring ride.. thanks

Checkit!! http://www.utahrallygroup.com/rallyx-sched.php Utahn's unite!! Anyone else interested in checking it out?!! It looks fun so I'm going to head up with a Flagstaff friend who wants to break his new car

Revisiting old threads today. I may be visiting some SLC JYs in a couple weeks so I'm interested in wha all I might need. So is this all i should look for in beefing up my subframe and suspension to be more outbackified, and lower my axle geomoetry to allow for more raising, with lift blocks or springs? Thanks!

Nice dood!! I should look you up next time i visit the folks in K. Falls. good work

Holy cow!! Man those lil block lifts are the way to go huh?!! Anybody have input yet if that would go in new gen subies? I've interested in an inch of lift (via blocks) in my 95 OB-strutted legacy. Thanks and looks good, and SO simple..

x2? And how does the ride on king srpings compare to stock springs?? VERY Interested in springs report. Looks NAHHSS!!

Yeah, ditto!! I'd like to see them too. Although, I took my wife's IMP out yesterday. You know, "just to see" We'd just replaced the tired FOR struts with new GR2s and I've been wondering how it'd climb anyway, AND she's out of town for a couple weeks Result? A few runs (up and down front and back) baby lion's back and a little run through entrance of Hell's revenge. Baby Lion's back is a walk up, and NO problems getting into Hell's revenge (really sorry, no pix or vidz of that run). Probly ran 3/4 mile up hell's revenge to the sweet Moab overlook. Open diffs SUCK, but it all worked out, with the all weather street tires and all enjoy. and I TOO would LOVE to see those older Moab pix and vidz!! baby lion's back frontside climb baby lion's back backside drop [url= ][/url]:banana::banana: :grin: :grin: :) :)

Perfect. Thanks, I'll try to hit them up in a couple weeks. There's a rally-x in Honeyville the 29th

You can get aftermarket raised springs from Scorpion in Austrailia. It a bit of 44 but folks here have done it for a touch more lift from stock and it sits nice. Do some searching. i know i've posted some info about them and there are folks with pix here who've gone that route. Its an idea, and will cost money, gets you more off the beaten path and doesn't affect road driving much. I'm with you on the want to get off pavement for fun (mt. biking, hiking, climbing, river running, etc.) but don't want to effect my on road performance and handling, since its my daily driver and off pavement is not the most of what my car's used for. Appologies for posting lazily w/o the links, but with some searching you can find info on scorpion/king raised springs. love to see a raised 02!

Its just on OB struts and big tires. Although thinking about a 1" block kit for it BTW, I'm still interested in the fozzy box. I'm still contemplating timing and how best to ship. You know, trying to keep the whole package (box AND shipping) deal somewhat reasonable for a bolt-on DR AWD. Do you have any good, new info for me on shipping? (refresher) interested in the 4.11 5 spd manual with 1.44 DR. :) Ciao! PS I've got a 79 brat SR 4x4 package deal for trade! http://www.ksl.com/index.php?sid=&nid=443&tab=list/view&ad=1501783

heh heh heh.. Yup. And thanks for asking. Mudrat baja bumper (with further customization), strut lift, BFG AT/KO tires, aftermarket rims (see below), clutch (this one is an exedy OEM, I already wore out the SPEC stage II), rear disc conversion, intake mods, cat-back exhaust mods (through cherry bomb and magnaflow). BUT nope no sweet wiring yet... I haven't been home more than a couple days in the last few weeks... Silly job!! Those rims are actually 14" 10-spoke proline 917 alloys (in gunmetal grey) from pep boys. http://www.pepboys.com/tires_wheels/wheels/painted_machined_wheels/ They also have 8 spoke (which I liked better) And they used to have a 12 spoke and offered them all in black as well.. anyhoo, that was like 5 years ago.

Me too me too!! except for I'd ask one of you northwesterners to pull it and mail it to me BTW, when's WCSS this year? I need to make a trip up north and say hi to the folks sometime maybe this fall... -mw-

OOPS comes to mind But yer good attitude goes a long way

Can anyone point me to their favorite or best pick(s) junkyards in Utah, probly SLC areafor subaru parts (I have a 93 IMP and 95 LEG). Tanx!!

Sounds fun J, pix? (I know you just posted this and all BTW, lookin' good G mw-

could be, you DO have twin magnaflows though, so twice the deep flow. I can't emphasize, in person it IS deeper than the low rex clip on tiny camera microphone. Its not a toumor! (recall that movie anyone?) its the mud, the caked, years of mud, clay and red rock country mud... and maybe surface discoloration of the steel but Definitely NOT the cancer. enjoy ciao, -mw

beter late than never flicker now has a video upload option for cheap-skates like me. Ditto on the speakers comment, they don't give it real justice AT ALL. Its really deeper and mellow, NOT loud or tinny. The back-drag is emphasized here and not so obvious in life. But anyway, here you go. This was last winter, cold start -mw-

finally got and installed my receiver hitch. Its nice to finally have a job again, and to make money I know, when I did the exhaust work, i had them tuck it up so close to the body, that now with a hidden hitch, it looks funny, like there's PLENTY of room for the hitch. now the sweet wiring project, and a 12v socket in the trunk.

Ditto. I have a low res video clip of my exhaust, but even at low res its still almost 2 megs for about 15 seconds of low res video. Anyway. i can send it to you if you want (PM me, i'm in town from work for a whole week). Remember, single exhaust, 95 legacy 2.2, some intake mods, 2.2" cat back through 12 inch cherry bomb (in place of factory resonator) and magnaflow box. Congrats again, yours sounds good, i like the 2.5 block though (over my 2.2 Looking forward to the tips Remeber, the modification road is a slippery slope!!! Choose well before you go too far down it ciao, -mw-

Nice job! I think with this stuff, the out come is always a little different than what we've built up and imagined in our heads. I too like the second run better, with the factory resonator removed. It'd get a little deeper if you go to 2.25 inch pipe from the cats back, and stay louder like you like. You may consider playing with intake a bit for a deeper tone as well, but after my mods and further research, i would suggest modding from the MAP (I think on the newer cars compared to MAF like m? '95.. maybe the other way) sensor at the air filter box, modding the pipe from there to the engine rather than messing with the easy stuff before the air cleaner. Anyhoo Congrats and welcome to the exhaust modded world!!!! Sounds good, not too ricey or loud (IMO could go deeper and looks good too.

Yay opinions I also think exhaust turbulence at the tip would not matter with a stock setup and the relatively minor exhaust mods you're talking about... I too agree bends increase restriction, but at the tip, THAT's what will cause the tip turbulence more than doulble-walled or rolled edges.. I like the stock look too, but with a touch wider pipe I've been thinking of the rolled oval, angle cut, double walled magnaflow tip I also like their double walled rolled square Kind of like the double walled round, angle cut (would look nice on your rig with the beefier rear end) Maybe the double walled oblong, but maybe not so much :-\ but defiintely NOT a fan of the bent up tips If your shop is customer service oriented I bet you could talk them in to setting up your pipe with clamps and idleing it with and without the cherry bomb (they could probly throw an older one on for a second) with your magnaflows in place... You're going to buy the magnaflows anyway, so what does it matter if you run some clean subaru exhaust through them for a coule secconds... The cherry bomb, i think you'll deffintely want it on, but maybe they'll clamp one on to let you hear it with and without it. Idle it, revv it. Just pull out them people skills and sell them on the idea that they've got your and your friends' business business when they help you out. . . Its your car and you want it the way you want it and you want it done right....

been away a week. My cherry bomb is 12" by about 4". Its true they come in different lengths. If you back check this thread, i think page 1 has pix of my entire setup. The magnaflow is really at the end with like 6 inches of pipe after it, and the 12" cherry bomb is where the factory, in-line resonator would be. So, you're at 2.25"cat back, no cat changes, a cherry bomb, then 2 2.25 in/out magnaflows at the ends, with room for a tip or just plain tail pipe? Sounds killer!! BTW, I COMPLETELY agree with liking and wanting twin tip exhaust at the end, (even if they're kinda for show and not real dual exhaust)!
