I think I may have slipped this one in instead of where it belonged, but you get the idea.

Bought two front half-shafts for my girlfriend's Legacy L. Great quality, reasonalbe price and decent shipping.

Just stop at the Wal-Mart in Bellingham on your journey South.

Anything else down there?

Yes, the 2WD struts have the spring pirch mounted at least an inch lower on the strut housing when compared to the 4WD version. I'm going to use this difference to my advantage when lowering my wagon.

Bump. Has anyone tried this before?

What is your projected timeline for this project? I have been planning a similar swap into my turbo coupe and any insight you can give me would be awesome!

Will a 2WD radio box fit into a 4WD car?

Bring the gen 1!!!

I still have that guy and I do plan on making replicas, I'm just waiting for an appropriate time to start production. I've been toying with the idea of injection molded urethane so they could take a beating and not crack/shatter. What do you guys think about that?

Heres the story: At about 20-30 mph, if I turn the steering wheel, my power steering makes a sound like there is air in my system. I don't beleive there are any leaks, but I'm not sure what to do. Does anyone know the procedure for bleeding the power steering system or anything else that might help me with this?

WOOOHOOOOO!!! Bellevue is looking better and better!!! Right in the middle of all this goodness!!!

I ran 87RON in my 84 T-wagon with out any problems, but since I have full exhaust now and plan on much more in the near future, I have recently switched to 92RON.

1985 GL hatch with 3" BYB lift, Rancho rear shocks and full stereo work. Street shoes are 15" Pug alloys/rubber. Currently working on a spare, built engine designed for low rpm power and finding a way to stuff a set of 28" TSLs under stock fenders...:-\

They are only about 25lbs/in stiffer than a regular EA81 4wd spring, but they are shorter as well. I'll double check my FSM when I get home.

It can be a problem but there are many reasons I chose to mount the lights so low. The first is that the lights cut through fog and don't reflect back to your eyes the lower they are mounted. Also, since this is a turbo car I plan on modding, I wanted to keep the airflow to the radiator clear since there is already an oil cooler and A/C condensor in front of it, I chose not to mount them to the top of the bumper. Plus I think they look better down there.

My brother might be interested in the engine for his 75. I'll have to steer him towards this thread.

A bypass valve eliminates compressor surging when the throttle is slamed shut, not just when shifting. Improves turbo life, and makes obnoxious sounds when vented to the atmosphere.

Yes it is a 5 speed (which I love!) and I had the stock downpipe on there for a while and had the 2.5" on there. Then I later got the 3" downpipe. Even with the turbo, I don't think this engine will flow enough to necessitate a full 3" exhaust. Sound/movie clip to come soon, maybe even today (its really nice out, FINALLY).

They are the Autopal brand off ebay. Two kits consisting of a high/low beam combo.

Nope, SS 1.5" primaries to 1 3/4" to the turbo. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=55274&highlight=header

Mmmmm 3" from the turbo to the rear of the tranny followed by 2.5" to the Flowmaster American Thunder muffler and topped off with a stainless piece of pipe for a tip. Oh soooo sweet!!

I can't seem to find the thread that was the original insperation for this project, but none the less I am finished with the headlights! Got these suckers off ebay last summer and just last week finished the wiring to get them to behave like the stock units. No cutting or splicing was needed but I did have to push the spade connectors out of their housings to mount on the new bulbs. The high beams had some chrome overspray on the outside of the housings that would ground the lamps that had to be delt with but other than that I am very happy with the results! I haven't done much night driving yet but besides having the blue bulbs that came with the lamps, the beam pattern is sharper and more focused.

All that remains is to weld the mounts onto my wagon, but that wont happen until I have a week or so at my parent's place. Baccaruda, if you get to this before I do, please take as many pictures as possible.

If the car is too low after clocking the semi-trailing arms then I will use this to adjust it back up. I will fully document the swap, but without internet access on my computer, I don't think I'll be posting pics soon. Hell I just finished a few major projects and I am not able to make a post about any of them!!!
