Turbone

Almost all of the USDM EA81T's came with oilcoolers. As far as I know, not one EA82T has a factory oil cooler. I think this is where the cornfusion is:cool: Remember folks, the EA81T and the EA82T are different.

If your cooling system is fairly new and in excellent shape, there shouldnt be a problem in your location. And of course a turbo is always better in performance than a N/A car. But thats my own biased opinion:rolleyes: There are some N/A cars out there that have more or same HP as forced induction cars. I know of a few.

So true! Even so with our rigs. We spend how much $ (some not so much) getting them trail ready or RallyX ready, etc and when we finally get tired of them and decide to sell, theres no way we are going to get a return of what we put into them. The market is only going to bear so much.

Yeah, well, what can I say:rolleyes: Better late than never?

Not sure if everyone will see anything new, buts its been a long time in coming;)

I quess we are all entitled to our own opinions:rolleyes: I've seen TV shows and off-road mags showing buggies on the trails and not just at some made up park run. I dont think all the owners only spend a hour more or less in them either. And I'm pretty sure, almost positive, that none of those buggies are street legal. Heck, even my Hatch isnt sreet legal and is supposed to be trailered. Now if I had a 3/4ton truck and tandem trailer, I might do that. But if I had that much $, I might just have one of them rock buggies:cool:

Correct. I welcome the chance now to try and pull something that outweighs my rig by 1K lbs or more. I have a receiver hitch in my rear bumper, so I have a decent hardpoint to anchor to. I will be making sure my bumpers are securely attached to the frame now:rolleyes:

Your welcome to come visit anytime. Heck, theres lots of job opportunities for the right people, move over here:headbang:

This is the website for WRC Subaru...http://www.swrt.com/news/latest_news.html I dont have the one for National circuit. Sorry if it isnt much, but its almost 4am here and I dont even know why I'm awake still:-p

Whoops, that was a typo. I meant to say HOW did you setup the car. But you saw thru my mistake and answered the question:cool:

I've never been to Naches, woould love to do a weekend trip. Is it to early to start planning?:-p

Actually, theres one more thing I need to do to make it "Complete". If I get a couple of hours of dry weather I can do it. I'll post pics here when its done.

Yup, that be it.

Well, thinking about what we talked about earlier, I hope we can squeeze in before the full size rigs. If you know what I mean?

The only thing left to do is weld in the cross piece thats above the winch. Everything works too, considering its been sitting for years:headbang: And no, I dont care if half of my high beam is blocked. I have plenty of other lights.

A snatch block should be my next aquisition.

Who did you setup your RX for AutoX?

Its only a little 6000lb'r:-p And up here, you never know:rolleyes:

Got it in, just needs to be wired up and tightened down. There was a cross piece that was welded above that I had to remove so the winch would sit in the tray. Now that its in, I can weld it back in.

Where did you get yours Tim? Does it really come in a roll? Ok for your tires, but that wouldnt work for mine.

Ah, my way is the scenic route............lots of cows.........

It looks like....................................................garden edging:rolleyes:

What he said^^^^^ I bet the inside of your inst cluster looks like your ECU:rolleyes: Before replacing stuff, figure out whats causing all the moisture inside the car.

Very nice work:clap: A couople of suggestions tho. There are some of us that do some very aggressive off-roading and the y-pipe is usually getting beat up pretty bad. Maybe try and incorporate shields for the exhaust somehow. Dont think this is the case where your at or doing, but for further reference to anyone here wanting to build something similiar. Also, all the bolts should be flatheads and countersunk. They will get sheared off by rocks/hard pack easily. But I say again, nice work:headbang:

Analog or digital dash? There should be a fuse regardless which one it is, I would check all the fuses.
