January 9, 200719 yr Alright ladies its been a while since I've posted on here and its mainly because we haven't made any Subaru products for quite sometime... Now that doesn't go to say that we don't play around with them every now and then. Albie still has the Subaru bug, and he acquired the most knarliest subaru ever, the ruu was already modified but Albie made it a little more. It started with an 89 touring wagon that now has a 4 in lift, 02 wrx engine (stand alone computer),3 in downpipe, low range W/ a spec racing clutch, and topped off with 33" x 10.5 boggers on 5" off set wheels. finally Albie is about to start it. Albie is the man! do not miss it at the St. Hellens mudrun on the 24th of february. go to http://www.sthelensmudrun.com/sthelensmudrun/indexx.html
January 9, 200719 yr How's he plan on stopping the tires from tearing the fenders off after the first few inches of suspension compression?
January 10, 200719 yr Author Don't worry kid's Albies giving her two extra inches. Skid plate will be on in a few days. These are just the prepictures to get your pants wet. Remember on the 24th were hosting a MUDRUN and a Product Demonstration at http://www.sthelensmudrun.com/sthele...un/indexx.html This will include guns and subarus! Were going to try to hold a Gymkhoba (sp) lifted subaru race.

January 10, 200719 yr he might want to consider having some custom axles made....big big axles and tough as $H*T too.....those little soobie axles have to push a lot of tire....A LOT:grin: :headbang:
January 10, 200719 yr Dear god! That thing is an animal! +1 on custom axels. That thing is going to eat them and the bearings as fast as it will suck down the 91 oct.
January 10, 200719 yr That's awesome.. (it's gymkhana IIRC ) Excuse me, what do you mean this thing has a dual range? Explain yourself young man! I noticed the lack-of-skidplatedness when I glanced at this this afternoon but I figured you'd do something about that.. ditto on trimming the fenders or installing bumpstops (maybe both).. what kind of standalone computer does it have?
January 10, 200719 yr Author Its dual range! It has an EJ to EA Adapter on it and I think a centerforce clutch. Albie will have to get on here to answer the remainder of the questions.
January 10, 200719 yr tell albie to get ahold of me when he breaks it.i'll let him in on some secrets from the secret stash.
January 10, 200719 yr nice work... cant wate to see how it dose off road, and to see how long that D/R holds up to the power. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com
January 10, 200719 yr Let us know in a few thousand miles how the gearbox is holding up. I would really like to know how tough they are, and maybe clear up some myths while we're at it. I like the tires. I would like them on my Bobbed Brat Project you can see in the offroad section.
January 10, 200719 yr Pull it next to an 05 STi and get the USMB photo of the year award. Second that motion. Do we have a third?
January 10, 200719 yr Second that motion. Do we have a third? Sure, I'll giv you a third on that. But take the pic at the dealer and see what they think.
January 10, 200719 yr Most Salesmen dont have a clue about old school Soobs. Ditto on the gearbox and drivetrain. Another ditto on the fenders, those tires are going to rub no matter how much you trim.
January 10, 200719 yr When you put the wheels on backwards like that how long does it take for your wheel bearings to hate you? Awesome wagon though... Makes me wanna go swap my engine right now
January 10, 200719 yr Sure, I'll giv you a third on that. But take the pic at the dealer and see what they think. i fourth it and you get bonus points if you get the look on the salesmans face when you pull up
January 10, 200719 yr Its gotta be an 04-05 STi. Remember they lowered the hoodscoops on them. I agree most salesman all they care about is outbacks when it comes to old gen subarus.
January 10, 200719 yr I agree most salesman all they care about is outbacks when it comes to old gen subarus. so the moral of the story is, find someone with an '04-'05 STi to take the photo next to, and eff the dealers and what they think
