  1. They are awsome, just about as great of a hp mod is adding a yellow stripe. Im kidding:grin: You will find a great deal of debate on what is the best oil filter for your car. Honestly i am running the same oil filter for 3 years:eek: and havent noticed much. I dont think my brother ever changed the oil in the 5 years he owned it. Just dont buy fram, they use inferior material. I hear wix is good and so are a few others but i would think with a k & m name brand on it they would try to jack up the price. Do alittle research online to find the best brands. But really if you change your oil every 3k most anything will do the job. These flat4s are pretty robust engines they can handle alot. Ben
  2. Yea i really wana go. As soon as my wife gets back im out the door to try and get this done.
  3. This is it for me guys, its make or break. I get the lift on today or i dont attend the event. Wish me luck.
  4. Cash for things you might want to buy. Toiletry items Bring a couple days worth of clothes in a backpack Tools incase you break down Spare parts if youve got em. Miles Fox p.s. why dont you eat meat.
  5. Some things i would change but it looks like they did a nice job. It just needs a teenage mutant ninja turtle sticker on the back to complete the job. Otherwise great job.
  6. edited because mick answered your questions. Yea if anyone wanted to share a sight that would be cool with me. I wont have a tent since i sleep in my car but if my brother came he would have a tent. You bringing the awning again this year mick. Also i dont know how the heck your gonna haul all this stuff arent you lacking in (brat) bed space these days. Also whats the story on the shooting range thing. If people are uncomfortable i can leave the arsonal at home.
  7. Im useing them to hold my steering linkage in one spot.

  9. Youve got enough cars lieing around. Give your mother a full size spare to while yoru at it.
  10. I dont think im going to be able to make this guys. Have fun.
  11. I was going to say something about this but it kinda seems like you seem to know alot about stereos. But the fact is the wireing in a chevy truck would be superior to a economy car. Which is why you didnt have any problems running what you ran. If i were you i would update the alternator and wireing like GD said. No offence but what your doing kinda reminds me of a comedians joke. His brother came to him and asked him if he could borrow 3000 dollars for a car. His brother agreed and a few weeks latter he shows up with this real piece of ****. Rust holes dents the works, but he installs a 2500 dollar sound system. Pulls up and says what you think my car has much sound bra. He says no no your car has much rust. But yes look into the wireing, looks like a cool system but i would save it for a much cooler car.
  12. Jesus man that thing is a mess. Maybe you should of picked something alittle less f ed up.
  13. Well i know how im not installing my lift. Droppin the engine it is.:-\
  14. everywhere rockauto.com 1stsubaru.com advanced auto parts.com orielys.com ebay.com brenbro.com
  15. Just because its rare doesnt mean it doesnt suck. Dollar for Dollar the ej22 is a better deal. Im telling you the ea82 turbo has cooling problems and as soon as it overheats if it hasnt been already its going to have a blown headgasket. I know the wireing is monumental but wouldnt you rather do it once and be done with it then put in your ea82t swap the wireing then have the engine blow a few months latter. Or be disapointed in the performance gains you would get out of it. trust me ej22
  16. Got on 1 side of my lift today but incapasitated it at my brothers girlfriends house because the passanger side isnt going on like the drivers side is. And i got my cb hooked up.
  17. Guido is..................................................... Causeing me problems. Got everything removed just like on the drivers side and its just not fitting. The cv shaft is hitting the lower control arm where it mounts. It didnt do this on the driverside so im confused. I dont know how one side can be different then the other. So now i wont be able to get to it until friday. So ill ask the question where do i go from here. Would renting a spring compresser do the trick just to get enough clerance into the hub.
  18. Ok got the CB installed though the antenna kinda stinks ill need a different one of those. And i got one side installed on the front lift. I might get to the other side this evening. I havent been takeing pictures like i usually do but you guys will see when its done. Oh and brent, incase this thing doesnt get done we need to figure out if you are going to take dennis in your ride or whatever is going to happen.
  19. Some of you guys take this **** to a whole new level. You should work for nasa.
  20. Its not leaking out of the top hose but i cant find this other hose you guys are talking about.
  21. Yea i think thats the plan. I honestly wouldnt mind going old school but since i have money invested in ea82 stuff i think ill stick with that route. Yea ill start trying to locate a rust free ea82 wagon. We have a hatchback here with lower miles but i want a completely rust free car not from here so it will last longer. Maybe i can make that my vacation next year. Head up to washington and wheel with one eye for a day then rip off the good parts and send the rest to the crusher. I dont want to think about it like that but with the structure rust im noticeing i dont see it going any other way.
  22. That is the 2 inch suspension lift. If you want i know someone who has one all ready if you wanted to venture this route. And there 27x8 1/2x14 on peugeot wheels. You need different wheels if you want to lift because only a handfull of subaru wheels were above 13 inch for the 4x140 bolt pattern.
