    Think they come in 4x140mm? :lol:

    So talk to me about that rotary adapter. Where did you find it, how long have you had it? What other bits are required to get that swap done.

    Go on www.tirerack.com and read their tests and customer reviews. Then shop around for the best price on the tire you decide on.

    If your vehicle was originally equipped with halogen bulbs your options are: HIR bulbs improved, independent wiring harness for the headlamps HID or LED retrofit DO NOT buy inexpensive HID or LED bulbs that have been re-based to fit a halogen lamp. The lamp housings are not designed to reflect these bulbs properly and they will actually end up hurting your night vision, despite looking like an upgrade over the stock lamps (They're not an upgrade, PM me for details).

    Numbchux, you appear to be correct. HOWEVER. EA81T/EA82T/EJ22T/EJ20G//EJ205 all came without the screen. You don't need the screen, nor should it have ever really been spec'ed by FHI.

    HIDs are great! Unless installed in a halogen housing, improperly aimed, etc. I missed the DL part, in that case, just find some LED or HID 4x6 conversion lamps. They are still pretty expensive though.

    You are going down a path of glare, purposely misaligned headlamps, angry, blind drivers and other miscellaneous woe and sorrow. Do a search for Turbone and his HID headlamp upgrade. The way he upgraded his lamps is really the only way to do it properly. You can't just stick HID bulbs in a halogen housing.

    Did John Blume, aka Mudrat79, ever make good with the USMB and repay those folks he swindled?

    I like the 185/75/13 Kumho Solus KR21 tires I bought a few years back for my EA81T wagon.

    Draw a line on the shaft where you want the extra length welded in. Find the nearest exhaust shop, take the part there. Tell them to cut the shaft on your line and weld it back together with an extra 4 inches welded in the middle.

    100% agree with GD's opinion on coilovers. Additionally, buy a brand that can be rebuilt, coilovers tend to wear out a LOT faster than OEM struts (20-40k miles vs. 40-80k miles for OEM).

    REMOVE THE BANJO BOLT SCREEN! There is a TIB for this.

    Love your cars! Especially that AWIC setup you've got on the Vortex, very stealthy!

    I'd say any engine over 10 years old needs a high ZDDP oil at this point. If it's a turbo Subaru engine of any generation, you should be running a HTHS oil as well, such as Motul X-Clean, German Castrol, Amsol or Shell Rotella T6. Basically any oil that meets BMW/Porsche/MB's high performance oil specs would do well in a turbo Subaru.

    The copper washers are even reusable indefinitely, if you anneal them between uses, that is.

    :banana:I think this proposal falls under the category of, "Did you even have to ask?!" OF COURSE WE WANT THIS!!!

    Welcome!
  18. carfreak85
    Still waiting to buy your old parts! Hahahaha
  19. carfreak85
    Well, I managed to snag an EA82 MOMO hub and an EA81 (I think) Nardi hub recently! Now I just need the steering wheels.

    Imposter, let me check my engines this afternoon and I'll see if I have one.
  21. carfreak85
    They'll last three years instead of 10, for example.

    Do you have any silicone hoses on your forester? I ask because silicone has x10-x15 the permeability of EPDM rubber and can allow for coolant loss through evaporation.

    Keep me posted on what you decide Jaysus.

    Your best bang for the buck would be to create a new, beefier headlamp harness. This will reduce the electrical bottleneck in the system. Also to note, brighter halogen lamps generally do not last as long. Replace in pairs.

    I'm interested in buying the RX. Do you have photos? What's the mileage on the car? Any rust?
