MaddCelt Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Changing the clutch set parts before the engine goes back in. Before that it was a new idler pulley, cam, seals, radiator, head bolts, etc. Going to have a new car before its done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subynut Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Installed hood pins to hold the hood down since the upper radiator support is mangled. I also installed the grill since I no longer need the ugly blue strap to hold the hood in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLoyale Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Why do you have the trunk lid in your room? Lol! Your room should only house Engine blocks and D/R trannys.

soobenthusiast Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Put NGK spark plugs in the loyale, and disconnected the chime that goes off when you leave the key in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87glsubie Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 hah i think that was the first thing i did to my subie. it was cool at first but it got annoying after awhile. Readjusted my camber again on the rear. i think my wheel offset being like 2 inches over stock is a little much for it. hah if anyone thinks otherwise let me know. i torqued those damn bolts to like 100 ft pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The directions say that ideal installation temp of the Badge of Ownership is 70-80 degrees... its like 50 outside so I took the trunk inside, let it warm up, installed the stickers and let them hang out and then installed the trunk again.

kanurys Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) nice look..before the 27's, were u rolling on ur stock 13's while wagon was lifted? is so, how the ride. bout to put a 4" lift this week on my loyale, but dont have bigger wheels/tires yet Actually I only drove a week with the stock rims and the 4" lift. Before the 27's and AA rims I was running 29's on re-drilled rims. I think the 27's handle better than the 29's and feel less bouncy. They get noticeably more torque, too. With the 4" you get most of your clearance from tires, not really much from the lift. Edited March 13, 2011 by kanurys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crockettbrat Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Well I replaced the front drivers side axle today. I had ordered an empi from amazon but somehow ordered the wrong one.:-\ I didn't notice until I had the bad one out, so had to get one from the local Kragen. I put it in and it was clicking right off the bat! I drove for a few miles anyway and it has gotten better but man this sucks. I'll drive it to work tomorrow and if it doesnt get better I'm taking it back. At least it has a lifetime warranty and my front end isn't hopping between 45-55mph anymore.

I'd go with an ej22 if you have the opportunity. My EA heads are decked so it has a little higher compression than stock, which is noticeable in low rpm torque. The ej22 will kick more butt, though. Just search around. There are a ton of threads discussing these subjects in detail. Today I got all the parts for the legacy outback suspension rebuild - all sti bushings and KYB shocks. Also going to replace tie rod ends and ball joints. This will be a nice compliment to the sti engine and transmission mounts in it. While I'm doing all this I will be driving the GL! YES!

TheLoyale Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I have taken the Front fenders, Bumper, and soon to be hood, off my EA82. I am getting the hood and fenders repainted by a DuPont certified Tech. I have also swapped out some of the under-hood hardware for Stainless, the idea is to keep the rust down. I also have to address some rust issues while the fenders are off and might have to weld in a section of metal just in front on the front passenger door (Where the rocker curves up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
