Well, I'm going to the Dave Matthews concert at the Gorge, and I'll be staying over night Sunday, so that rules me out! Dang, and I need to get some 4x4 time in with other ru's after I get my hatch out of the mud!

Well, I removed the alternator and I didn't see anything that the cable can ground to. Here's what I see: http://usmb.net/gallery/album215/IMG_0773?full=1 http://usmb.net/gallery/album215/IMG_0774?full=1 http://usmb.net/gallery/album215/IMG_0777?full=1

I haven't had any problems with the kit that came on my hatch. (I didn't install it however). It has held up much better than my hatch its self!

If anyone can give me a lead to a sedan that has a good body (Mechanical parts can be crap) that is for sale, I'd be greatful!

Hey, I didn't need to know where it went yesterday, because I wasn't that far along installing my engine! Do you still have that turbo throttle cable?

Dumb question, but where does the ground side of the negitive battery cable mount on an EA81T? Pics would help!

You might look for superchargers that were originally installed on small cars or used ones for british cars like MGBs and Midgets, etc.

Thats pretty cool!

I didn't have all the recovery gear with me at first, but eventually I did. THe stupid thing was that if it had started when I needed it to, I could have driven right out, but the terrain just kept getting worse as the day went on. Might as well have exploded though! Went back to see if the yota got out and sure enough, its gone!

Well, I'd like to see some older than that, but that's still pretty damn cool!

Long story short, the hatch died while offroading and I couldn't get it restarted before it began raining. It is now stuck in mud and I have to leave it in an area it shouldn't be until things dry out a bit. Oh, and the truck that came to pull me out (huge lifted yota with lockers, etc) got stuck too, so that proves how powerful subes are off road! The shop rebuilding my engine decided to charge me $400 more than they first said. I need to install this engine for the show. The hatch finally passed emissions, but now has an overheating problem. I was wet and muddy all day. I'm a saaaaad panda.

Talk to lepetitprince, he has some on his 82 brat.

Dude, thats awesome! I might just do that!

I think that an XT6 TB will work, might only work on a spider manifold, but I know that people swap them on.

Pics please!

So I figured that the engine out of my turbo wagon had a knocking rod, but it turns out that not enough locktite was used on the flywheel bolts. DOH! The heads were sent off to get redone already, but that can't hurt anything, and the flywheel needed resurfacing anyway, so new heads on my *non-rod-knock* block will be thrown into my wagon tomorrow afternoon and dialed in on Thursday. Hopfully this will allow me to drive the wagon to the show this Friday! Thanks to Brian and Steve at Brian's Subaru Clinic for their help.

Bump-a-roo!

Dude, that is flippin' COOL! I think I'm in love!

Didn't have the money for the front part of the lift or the time for the cross members. My friends and I got the stuff that we could plus the parts that were the hardest to manufacture. If everything had been bolted on instead of welded, we would have grabed the whole thing, but one of the front struts was like $25, and the damn lift block was welded to it!

HAHA! Beat you to it! http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20643&page=1&pp=10

Dude, Nepolian Dynamite has a FRIGGIN BRAT IN IT! It gets driven too! Very funny movie, I suggust everyone see it!

I've got the shift linkages and part of the rear end lift.

Go with MTs! The only way to go!

Mick, that is pretty damn cool! How did you attach them?

DL or GL?
