get the oil pressure, right off of the oil filter, t the gauge. drill a hole on the oil pan, weld in a pipe for the oil return. get the coolant from the heater hoses. should be easy. if your not concerned about hood clearance, have adapters made to run the mpfi ea82 manifold, on an ea81.... fun stuff =] youd need a turbo xmember, from any ea81 turbo. bolts to hatch np. ea82 xmember dont fit.

with a 10 inch lift, its gonna wobble down the road nomatter how you alighn the thing... but it will be an orv, so alignment is for suckers! =]

a 13 inch tire up to 185s will fit under the hood with some shoving

so your neck snapping power can snap your neck? in a crash those things do inportant stuff... if its anything like my xt6 seats, they dont come off, afaik.

im sure more people who know more will chime in. but afaik, theres is not even one legacy runing around north america, with a dual range tranny. there are a few late 80s subarus runing around with an ej22/legacy engine. so its a dual range from the 80s subaru, with the ej22 bolted together. you gotta have dual range for off roadin! =] i think i know the answer to your clutch question. but i'll let someone, who knows for sure answer that one.

stock, it came with two filters, one under the car, by the pump, and another right on the firewall. sometimes people take out the second one on the firewall, under the hood. two should be good(stock), three is overkill.

if you realy run oil for 12500 miles, no matter what it is, it makes me wanna puke.

amsoil says all that crap about a 7500 mile oil change. but if you look in most owners manuals, it will say something around 7k miles between changes. unless its gettin stressed, then its around 3k. mobil1 its factory in several high performance vehicles. and its $18.88, for 5 quart jugs at walmart. cant realy go wrong there. and change at 3k, cuz im sure everyone is runing their ru in extreme conditions, as far as subaru is concerned....

the block(namely pistons) is what gives the turbo the lower compression. you could stick a na motor in there and run it without the turbo... good luck finding a y pipe. the computers are the same afaik.

i second that, it is a subaru. they do wierd stuff. check engine lights are a way to scare you to take it to the dealer... wait... didnt wjm own that one?

*ahem**cough**cough*

oh man, my head hurts lookin at so many tires and writeups. it seems to me that most of the stuff i read on the web, doesnt realy apply to me(or subarus in general). everybody runs them on big ole fords, and mudder trucks, and our cars weigh like sports cars, not full size trucks. am i thinkin right? they would be less loud, and unstable, on such a small car? or louder and worse?

and yes, i read the faq. just lookin for personal opinions, thanks.

they fit just fine http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2023

just wondering, i was cookin pretty good on the way to work today. my spedos way off, so who knows how fast. my question is, if i have super swampers, will i still be able to go fast on the highway? i know they are a mud tire, but do they grip the road well? the only experience i have with anything close to a mud tire, is some 31 inch bfg ATs on my 4 runner. those tires still feel good at speed. any suggestions? this is my commuter =]

Not what the parts book says. 3 different, turbo,85 MPI,86+ MPI No interchangability indicated. No 6 cyl. flappers parts books huh... does it say that the fuel pumps are interchangable between any efi model? does it say you can put a spider intake on a flapper mpfi motor? does it say you dan rage an er27 in an 86 hatchback? didnt think so. miles pointed out the only exception afaik.

if you have stock exhaust, thats the biggest bottleneck on the car, handsdown. you dont feel any power with ignition crap. but with a open exhaust, and intake, you WILL feel it. unless you overkill it with a 3 inch system.

its a subaru, ditch that powersteering all together! its realy not that bad without it.

if its a hotwire, any ea82, or an er27, it will fit, and work. if its a flapper system, run any flapper maf. no diff between turbo, na, or 6 cylinder

i agree wholeheartedly! you gotta have a hatch!

find an empty church parking lot(lots of em down there), crank wheels all the way to one side, apply throttle, and start smiling, alot. then try it in reverse. practice in it, snow makes it very hard to flip a car, unless you hit some dry pavement, when your sideways.

thats not what i was implying at all. they are safe in my hands. =]

i just think of it like this. most people look at these things like throw away cars. if they need too much work, they toss em out. thats why i see near perfect ones in the junkyard, only to find a broken timing belt, or a bad set of brake rotors. i hate seeing people pay too much for these things. you will see one for 500 one week, and the same one could pop up a month later for 1200 bucks. if they were all cheap... does that mean id get less respect from big offroad rigs, or more... cuz nobody ever thinks mine are worth anything. =] cept subaru people.

you assume too much

well... i do have access to some copies... maybe i could cover mn.... comming soon in april. lotsa vids of me, morganm, my pa, and whoever else shows up, breaking subarus! im thinkin i will record it all onto a laptop hard drive, on location, then burn dvds till my burner fries! if people cant see what these things do, it will only be the wierdos(yes like us) offroading subarus in the future.
