Very tempting. We'll have to wait and see how things go at home first. Keep in touch.

Trails in OC? I thought it was all concrete and asphalt now:-p The only ones that are left are around Irvine, is that where your talking about?

Thats some deep powder. I was planning on going up on Sat, but other things went down. And Jared never got ahold of me either:-\

Your welcome to come next year. You dont live that far away you know:brow:

I dont have many pics of the Hatch off road at the moment. Got some snow pics from the X-Mas tree run, but I wasnt driving it:-\ I'll find something to throw in.

Its on the Subiefest website of course;) This is the post from Nasioc. You have a choice of Youtube or Flash. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?p=16421740&posted=1#post16421740

Date set for next years Subiefest with a short vid/trailer of this years event. My Hatch made it in the vid. WoooHooo!

Link?

Cant say exactly why it did it, but I suggest you replace the alternator.

Depending on your location (USA is pretty big) you might be able to find a used EA82 here on the Board or in your area on Craigslist.org. It would reduce the turn around time, rather than trying to fix a fubared engine.

Get a set of high quality driving lights and change the bulbs out for 100w. They all come with 55w bulbs, but you an find 100w halogens if you look hard enough.

Check the timing, if it still wont get up to speed I would check the fuel filter next. The 3spd AT sucks btw:-\

No room for 6x9's in the factory location in the rear. No pics of one, but I've had enough Hatches to know. The area next to the rear seat bottom has room but you need to build a enclosure for the speaker. Not hard as theres a pocket there already.

Heres my XT6, but with the shadows you cant tell very well how low it is. Kingbobdole has one lower than mine. Subaru Styles has a EA82 wagon thats slammed. I think Calebz has one also.

I just saw one in the local PAP today. I'm going back so I'll see if I can grab it.

Wowsers, your lights really do suck:-\ Dont think mine are that bad, but HID would be a definite improvement.

I think MikeW has his mounted on the rear. Mine is strapped to the roof. If I roll I got that to protect my noggin:D Yeah, I know, not a great idea. But I'm working on a roll cage. I dont like the idea of having to remove/disconnect something to access the gear I have in the back.

Yeah, it would be a shame to look in your rearview mirror and see your board sliding down the road. Still attached to the rack:eek:

The headlights come on halfway? That needs to be clarified some:confused: I would suspect a frayed wire somewhere around the brake pedal/dash area. Have you checked the brake fluid yet?. Make sure the e-brake is all the way down also.

Now you are "Officially" part of an elite group of people:-p Welcome to the club:headbang: You know where to go when/if you need parts and info:brow: GD, if it wasnt for deceased XT6's, we wouldnt have 5lug swaps:burnout:

The outer rails are supposed to have nylon inserts, the inners are just sheetmetal screws. Any sealer should work.

Hey John, glad to hear your stateside again. Even if it is AK:-p You might have to travel to find a decent Soob (Anchorage). Keep warm, good luck. Hey, check it out. CL for the win. http://anchorage.craigslist.org/search/car?query=subaru

Something quick and easy to do is install a new OEM thermostat. If it still gets hot I would look at he rad.

Rooinator, empty your PM box.

I have a set of Legacy LT seats in my Brat. I shifted the rails over the 1in rather tat using the option tsutomou used (might be a tad unsafe). Its a little more labor intensive, but the results are nice. I dont suggest using these seats if you are over 5'7, for the reasons GD stated. They work perfect for me, I'm 5'4. Another option no one has mentioned, are XT6 seats. These will put you lower in the car, I know someone who has them in his Brat and he is over 6ft.
