February 21, 201115 yr Author But my thought on it is, getting a battery that is huge compared to whats in it, would put a strain on the Charging system. Its only a 60amp alt. sorry, i missed your reply for a few days here. Actually it is backwards to that, because if you run a bunch of crap, the battery acts like a capacitor in the system that the alt can charge later when you aren't running 8 forward facing lights at idle down a trail when the alt is only able to put out 20-30Amps at that low rpm. your standard alternator should put out it's rated amperage at 22-2500 (engine) rpm.
February 21, 201115 yr Christopher and I chiseled thru the 1/2"-3/4" of ice on the BRAT and other vehicles here. He then braved the roads to go get batteries and such. We lost power around 3am, got it back little over an hour ago.
February 24, 201115 yr Put the new jump seats in Clod today. My buddys Bill and Dave will be jazzed when they see they can cruise. As for Jimi-Dog, he's not too impressed with the whole idea of sharing his ride.

February 24, 201115 yr Got a lot closer to detailing my new (to me anyway) 96 impreza outback, naval jellied every immediate part under the dash (as in actually removed the bottom of the dash) almost done cleaning the gunk out of all the holes everywhere, vacuumed the living crap out of it and foamed the carpet, stripped the back, took the rear carpet out, tightened up this and that under the hood and changed the power steering fluid... car makeover... seriously it is a different car.. oh and.. got a battery holder.. thing...
February 24, 201115 yr Thanks I dunno if they have a shop by you or not, and I dunno if they ship. They do have a few locations listed on their site, so, best of luck!
February 26, 201115 yr TheLoyale That thing looks sweet with those tires! Did you have a chance to test them out yet?
February 26, 201115 yr TheLoyale That thing looks sweet with those tires! Did you have a chance to test them out yet? If you call passing a riced out eclipse on the shoulder of the road (Mud/snow/dirt) testing them out, then yes. I think dude was shocked I passed him driving off the road This dude had to keep stopping to a crawl other wise he would wreck his bumper.
February 26, 201115 yr If you call passing a riced out eclipse on the shoulder of the road (Mud/snow/dirt) testing them out, then yes. COUNT IT!! That car is looking way cool... Nice work!
February 27, 201115 yr Well last nite I got the drums and hubs drilled and new studs in and welded for my girls loyale. So now she will have the 6lug conversion done. I still need to paint them and I want to replace the 2 subi studs with the 2 newer longer ones so it matches on the drum. I also got the 85 gl wagon lifted and new stuts put on the front, oil changed, tranny oil changed, interior done, startin to look sweet. I just put on some studded snow tires that I had lying around. Going to install the mazda redrilled wheels thats on my girls loyale after I put on the new 6lug conversion cuz shes gettin the new chrome 14" 6lugs that I got.
February 27, 201115 yr New chrome 14" 6lug wheels for my girls loyale. Just waitin for me to dismount and mount diff tires and put the new 6lug hubs and drums on the car.
February 28, 201115 yr Cool 6-lug swap! Ive been working on a low-profile roof basket for my GL:banana: Just about done.... Crappy cell-phone pic
February 28, 201115 yr sweet low pro basket. Looks GREAT Im goin to be working on a basket for her car too. I want one that she can have lights on her full size spare and stuff. But thats later after ej22 swap. I just hopin the tired ea82 holds out till then.
February 28, 201115 yr Did a seal job, timing belt, clutch, and lift. Still leaks oil. blah. The front wheels still have a inward camber despite the 15 degree block angle. Is this typical? Also took out the AC and put a bracket in where the AC pump used to be. I then ran one belt over all pullys instead of two. Will this work out alright and give enough pressure to turn the water pump well? Thanks to The Dude Abides for wheels! -JEsse Edited February 28, 201115 yr by jzacher85
February 28, 201115 yr You will notice after driveing a bit that the camber will settle. If it didnt, then you might of not cut the blocks right or you might have them on the wrong side. Just a few things to consider, your welcome for the wheels and i would love to see a picture of everything done. The one you posted isnt showing up.
February 28, 201115 yr Mate your subi's come a LONG way! Looks awesome! You'll have to tell me more about it - and yep, I've finally pulled my finger out and joined up on this massive board! Cheers Bennie
February 28, 201115 yr Bennie how goes it mate!? Glad you got out from the AUS board and joined us on here, thanks for the comments, I think this car is looking right proper now with the fitting tyres and all. Cheers and don't be a stranger, -Tom
February 28, 201115 yr Do you notice any better stopping with the rear disc conversion? Looks nice too.
