  1. As far as I know the heads are the same between the two. I've never heard otherwise.
  2. Awesome stuff man.... BTW thats a huge banana
  3. I would assume it would, I've changed ball joints by the jack method and it compresses the spring. When I changed out the struts on them. I'd leave the ball joint in, remove the strut from the knuckle, and disconnect the sway bar on that side to let it drop the lca more, bolt the strut to the tower and work it into the hole on the knuckle.
  4. That could be one of two things. The other one could be bad, or that one could be stuck
  5. it was random, I just wanted to subscribe so I could find out why...
  6. Might it have something to do with some sort of thing that involved 5 of something?
  7. How far from hitting the hole are you?
  8. Unless they go to one of the two tracks where there are right turns.
  9. I'd have to disagree... I sit lower(well my motor does) than my buddy's lowered wrx. I have no skid plate and live on a bad rocky driveway.
  10. Congrats man. I had called about that one. Guy didn't seem to know a whole lot about it. Said he hadn't driven it much because the clutch was slipping. You may be able to adjust it up and get some more miles out of that one.
  11. The link Ed posted is a great one. BTW 205/55r16 is what subaru put on the GT's from the factory. And IIRC it was 195/60r15's stock.
  12. You wouldn't hear any bad noises if your rings were shot. Just a lot of blue smoke. It does indeed sound like a joint cyl head gasket failure. The 91 T-leg I have did this on the way home when we bought it. It wasn't smoking much at all. But 2&4 were both wet inside when I pulled the heads off.
  13. For the rides I've taken in a Baja I'd compare the seats to 98-01 2.5RS seats over the others. I like them myself. Not near as still as the leather in the 04 Legacy GT we test drove.
  14. Yep. Most likely the first o2 sensor. Mom's 98 legacy has an intermittant code, I forget what the number was, for emmisions control. Mechanic had her ready to fork out money for a new cat... I fixed it for the price of the o2 sensor, whatever it was 3 years ago.
  15. You are probably going to have to use more than just your strength to get it to compress enough to go in. Like a floor jack and a piece of wood on the hub.
  16. What... Theres a ring there?? Nah, I think it goes flat side to pan.
  17. Have you actually weighed the difference in the flywheels? Honestly... How much less would the flywheel weigh at xt6 spec. The clamping force would far outweigh the "loss" of a couple ounces.
  18. I've seen the lsd additive put to use before. About 4-5 years ago my mom's 98 started the early stages of TB. Our mechanic had dad put it in there and go to an open parking lot and drive in figure 8's for a while.
  19. This picture he sent me best dipicts where the piston is at. From the best of my memory it needs to go at least another 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch father in. I use the little tool that skip posted up, with a big 1/2 drive ratchet reduced down and a 3" extention. Gives me a lot of leverage on it.
  20. I would stick with the BKR6E-11's myself. I bought the uber expensive irridiums for the SS. But my other non turbo ej's have always gotten the standard plugs with ngk wires.
  21. This is 100% OT but. s'ko did you ever correct the camber issue on the brat. I mocked up the front 5-lug on a parts car today and toticed that even with the camber adjusted as far correct as I could I still had horrid looking camber. I'm thinking ea82 or xt6 lca's will fix the issue. Anyways, back OT... Glad to see its getting you around now. And you might want to look at a thread in the new gen area about making a hybrid ej18/ej20 headed turbo motor.
