May 9, 201510 yr Ha, Ha... Lempíra sir, was a chieftain Warrior of the Lenca ethnic group, relatives of Hondurans Mayas. He fought against the Spanish invaders and was treacherously killed at the top of a hill, so Lempira is a national grandee of Honduras. More info & images, here: ~► Wikipedia: Lempira Sorry for the offtopicness... What have I done to my Subie, Lately? Driving, pouring Gasoline and Continue Driving ... ... And Gathering parts to install the 15" aluminium Wheels, such like New Studs, Full Metal valves, etc... Kind Regards. ► Edited to Fix the Web Link. I did not know Mayas were in Honduras. Please feel free to weave some historical Honduras facts in as this nerd likes it.
May 9, 201510 yr I did not know Mayas were in Honduras. Please feel free to weave some historical Honduras facts in as this nerd likes it. Yes, Honduras has many ancient Ruins which are Archaeological Parks nowadays, some from the Mayans, and other prehispanic cultures, all very interesting. The main mayan city is "Copan" located at the occidental side of Honduras: ~► https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copán Also there is the Mysterious hidden "Ciudad Blanca" (White City) a Crystal Skull Came from it, is also known as the "Monkey god" City, there is a Book about that: ~► https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Ciudad_Blanca Sorry for Hijack this Thread, I posted much more information of Honduras, here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/87725-an-open-request-to-loyale-27-turbo/ That thread is plenty of Photos. ► Edit: I forgot to share this Short Video that explain why Honduras... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pstBD5BEIo ...is a Small Country, but has three different Wide Worlds. Kind Regards. Edited May 10, 201510 yr by Loyale 2.7 Turbo
May 10, 201510 yr Those temples are always awesome! Thank you for posting those photos and the links!
May 10, 201510 yr Finally managed to replaced my heater core and get it back into the car...woohoo for nice warm heat! What a job though. Few photos:
May 10, 201510 yr That looks like way too much work. I'd rather just be cold! Ha the cold doesn't bother me - the heater box filling up with coolant sure did! Wasn't actually too hard, just very time consuming. At least I know exactly what I'm doing when I take the dash off for my eventual EJ swap! Edited May 10, 201510 yr by rxleone
May 10, 201510 yr Ha the cold doesn't bother me - the heater box filling up with coolant sure did! Well I suppose that could be a problem worth fixing!
May 10, 201510 yr Well I suppose that could be a problem worth fixing! Definitely. Learnt quite a bit about how the heating system works though, so even though it took a few hours it wasn't wasted time.
May 10, 201510 yr Was it the core that was leaking, or the hoses? If it was the core, did you get a new one, or 2nd hand? Those clamps that Subaru uses have a tendency to cut the rubber pipes after a while Jealous of the LHD model which seemingly have pipes connected all the way out of the firewall as 1 piece.
May 11, 201510 yr I got Ash, the red sedan out after a winter slumber. Having last been out in December i was expecting some hesitations or some issues. NONE. Started right up and ran great. I drove Ash up to Mt Rainier, here are some pictures: We stopped at the first snow fed waterfall. Ash peeking out from behind the rock safety wall waiting for my return. The mountain was definitely out today. Made it up to Jackson Visitor center Ash performed wonderfully. Took to the hills with no hesitation at all. The brakes have a slight warp and his transmission main shaft bearing is worn a bit which causes the stick vibration. But overall I was very impressed.
May 16, 201510 yr Put on the front lift. Removing the original struts took a 10 foot breaker bar and a lot of heat. Still need to source new top hats for the rear, the rear left is crunchy and dangerously rusty. Been thinking about making custom trailing arm droppers. How dangerous is just running a longer bolt through a peice of square stock? I'm pretty sure the answer is that it's not safe, just wanted some outside thoughts.
May 16, 201510 yr Painted my rims. Those are now ready for new tires. I wasn't after a perfect finish so some rattlecan primer and rim paint did the job.
May 17, 201510 yr @comatosellama, put a crush tube inside of it, or if is short, then just weld in the ends. Most lift kits are made this way.
May 18, 201510 yr Finished yanking out the dash and getting over the screwball wiring someone did. I think I found my short. Now I need ideas for putting a custom dash back in. Thinking all I want is the guage cluster and some switches. Only a ton of removing and grinding left for me to be ready for the roll cage! The engine rebuild is not far away. Replacing everything I can for forged internals. Is there a list of all the internal parts for rebuilding? I want to get as many forged parts in it. For both longevity and power.
May 18, 201510 yr @comatosellama, put a crush tube inside of it, or if is short, then just weld in the ends. Most lift kits are made this way. A crush tube as in like a sleeve that wraps around the bolt inside the stock?
May 18, 201510 yr Sat. returned from 1700 mile road trip to Colorado. Last trip I made from Texas to Colorado I made sure to never return! Hope you had fun!
May 18, 201510 yr Sat. returned from 1700 mile road trip to Colorado. Awesome, but... Where are the Photos?
May 20, 201510 yr Put bumpers and roof rack on Skrat, then my motor had some issues so its still down and not running.
May 20, 201510 yr I finally got the dashboard ripped out! Packing up a few parts I sold and thinking about how to move from here. There are a bunch of wires running from the drivers side to the passenger side. I'm guessing they are for the heater?! Does anyone know if there is a way to relocate the fan for the heater... Or any of the air duct system? Ideally I want to keep the defrost and a single vent to heat the cabin. Everything else is just extra weight. Also.... I still have pieces of the dashboard left if anyone is needing any of those parts. minus the speaker grill cover and the speaker mounts.
