  1. here is the roof of boom: I have a piece of plywood behind the headliner in the back. the headliner itself ic covered in carpet. I hae apait of 8" subs mounted cone side up on the ceiling, and the cavity behind the roof rack acts as the enclosure. i have a 200 watt 2 channel amp and crossover unit on the ceiling behind the dome light, and a pioneer cd in the dash i got about 100 bucks into it, used radio, speakers, amp, new tweeters, crossover, and subs
  2. will the intake harness be compatible with the 87 mpfi, as if i were to put an 86 motor into my 87 turbo wagon, and use the 87 distributor?
  3. it doesnt matter wat yer soob looks like, just as long as you show up. i dove to jims 100 miles with no front axle, home, delivered pizza, and then drove back to jim's before i fixed the axle. then i swapped car/intake and a tire just before the 100 mile trip back home. sure your soobs can make the trip. maybe we can all meet in butler(top NE corner of IN) at the carbola to gather up, and then scoot 10 miles down the road for some decent baja'n acerage(1ABAJA's department) we had the meet last year, so the next time is cvery doable, and now there are more people that know about it YOSH! what can you come up with?
  4. line up the flywheel to 0 degrees so the rotor points to #1 cyl, it will point to theleft of the screw that holds thew cap on towards theback . remove the 2 bolts that hold the distributor, and pull it out! the rotor will turn slightly as it didsngages the gear, so remember that when putting it back on. you will see the "shadow" of where the bolts fit on the distributor, so you can use that to get your timing lined up
  5. what will you be doing with the trans from the 86(or whichever one will be leftover) ro-neece will be looking for a trans. i'll PM the details
  6. i was parked behind him at the show. but he was inclined to turn on his stereo and open the hatch as if to keep pace with the "Roof-Of-Boom" maybe he felt the need to compete with the TrashWagon, but mine and his are at the opposite ends of the same spectrum! i got "most miles driven" award
  7. yup. i drew it all. there were easyrider mags floating around, and i used a dennis kirk ad for the pose, and pickesd different details offf of various bikes and drew my own, relating from the details in the pic.
  8. you can test your wire by jumping from the battery to the starter as skip suggested. the fuel pump kicks on for a few seconds. then it recieves a signal from the dist. to stay on. i dont know about 91, but all my mt's would start without depressing the clutch if the starter works wit the jumper wire, you can make a push button starter switch by connecting to the tab on the back of the starter. run a wire from the fuse panel, to a switch, and then thru the firewall to the starter. that will save you from having to take the dasboard and carpet out to find a relay the power for the starter comes straight off the positive cable. i have seen cables that looked intact, but had a break inside. make sure your pos battery wire is good
  9. you can run the wire to the swithch from inside, if you like, you can tap into the fuse panel from a "Hot at all times" wire. you can just jump a wire from under the hood to verify the starter still works before you do all that wiring. go from the fuse panel to the switch, and bring the wire from the switch thru the speedo or clutch cable grommet(or thru the steering shaft, but tie it up so it doesnt get twisted with the steering shaft
  10. sounds like a starter relay. you can jump the starter by running a wire to the tab on the back. i like to run a push-button start switch to the terminal
  11. somewhere there is a relay that sends power to the small tab on the top of the starter. you can jump the starter from there to see if it works. i like to run a push-button switchc to the terminal, the key just turns the car on.
  12. here is some artwork http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/artgallery/
  13. i will host art if you got it. i have some art from a couple people i knew, non automotive related i got some pics of cars go here and browse http://warpthree.com/milesfox/artgallery/
  14. i got a lot of drawings i will be posting on the website. i will post updates on the board
  15. the navigaton bar on the left doesnt work. that is why i posted each site separately. the links in the subaru page work in the top frame, that is where the content is. i still got more that i will put up(image files and art work)
  16. are there any artists on the board? subaru junkie? i am a fan of other peoples art
  17. if yer talkin about road trip, like with serious miles... a flashlight. you may have to stop in the most unexpecting moment to check something out, enough tools to service a timing belt, and axle. having all the necessary tools for those 2 jobs will fix anything likely to be fixed off the side of the road. screwdrivers, black tape, wire wire/cutter just in case you have to mess with anything electrical spare tires, lots of em:banana: i would like to have a fuel can, soare fuel. you might run short of estimated distance when if trying to stretch gas. presumed you run out of gas, it will be enough to get you to a gas station spare timing belts, i run mine exposed, serviceable in like 10 minutes spare turn bulbs if you are worried about being legal(or fix/replace them right before trip i quart of oil, even if she dont leak bring deli type food as it will be cheaper than stopping in, will go farther, too 1 jug of water or coolant. i would carry water as it is more versatile, will top off any coolant, but would not need a whole gallon of green. and if thats an issuew, a spare radiator hose, the water will be enough to get you somewhere, and you can drink it, too
  18. copy and paste the link. the typing is correct, but the hyperlink itself is too short:confused:
  19. if they dont charge core then keep the old axle and fix it for a spare, something to do
  20. he said the ambient toad! its still in that car to this day
  21. how bad has it been, you can take it off and put new grease in there, as long as you know the cv joint is burned up. The inner joj will wobble on accelleraton, especieally when accelerating out of a turn. you can take it off, and disassemble the DOJ and re grease it an dput a new boot on it. taking it apart enough is good to grease the bearing, if there is enough boot left *most* of the grease will stay in there. you can get some boots for not too much, aside from that, all it costs you is a day in the garage. it will last you a good while if everything checks out ok

  23. you could build something like the RX's ANUS lift, as we did to fit 16's under there you can make strut extensions that slip on out of sqare tububg and a drill,http://usmb.net/gallery/albun92/AnusLift and if yo get high enough you can drop the diff hanger mount down so the axles are even with the hubs. this application was 3 inches, it wanted to bind the driveshaft, so we made a drop shackle for the diff itself. but the diff shackle would not have been necessary withthe diff hanger lift, and the diff hanger wouldnt have to be more than an inch lifted if that, we probably could have gotten away without the diff hanger lift(this design was carried over from PART of a 3 inch lift for a sedan)http://usmb.net/gallery/albun92/Oct11_44
