The Dude Abides

Niku there are huge threads on this subject. It does need to be a certain temp but no different then if you were useing a spray gun. You roll it on then wetsand roll then wetsand roll then sand it comes out great if you take the time to do it right. I would of gone this rout myself but i have lack of a garage. Ben

LOL got your butt movin though didnt it.

Welcome to the board. Ill get alittle more specific than turbone because i have the time. the wheels you have are subaru specific. Meaning only 2 other cars in the WORLD have this bolt pattern 4x140mm. Subarus and peugots. Only subaru wheels fit perfectly in the wheel wells though. You can go 6 lug swap where you can redrill chevy wheels (and her sisters) to 4x140 but they stick out really wide and are prefered buy offroaders. If you want the look your looking for then you need to swap the suspension. It can be done but its a pain in the butt. You need legacy parts, xt6 parts. Its dooable. As far as seats go people have done legacy seats and some others but you need to do some custimazition on the mounting brackets. Engine and tranny you can upgrade to pretty much any subaru engine out there it just depends on how much work you want to do or fabricate up. The easiest out of the bunch would be ej22, but you need to swap the brain over and wireing these cars can be a pain. Plus get special adaptors for the tranny but if you want to use the other tranny then other things come into play yada yada yada. Leave the exhaust the way it is. You wont need bigger exhaust until you get a bigger engine. Good luck And we love pictures. Ben

niku you havent heard about this. It has great results but youve got to do it just right.

I saw a toyota corona today at the junkyard. 70s style.

These were in an 89 DL Wagon. They looked old school and i might of grabed them but only found 3

Was rummaging through the JY today and ran across some carpeted floor mats that said subaru. They were rubber with white carpeted lettering. Anyone ever see anything like this

Yea weve talked about the cts sensor. Didnt you say you would check for a good one. Anyones ill give her a check. Ive got some electronic cleaner so ill check out maf just in case. Nice pictue made me laugh.

ahhh blah why do you not bring merry sunshine gd. Its spfi. It will not be something repeated.

The running aspect is ok i guess it seems to be idleing higher now. But every time i push in the clutch it seems to be sticky. I believe i have washed really good on the top of it to see if theres some mud around there but it was alittle dark so i cant be sure. Could something of gotten binded up at all. I can still shift its more a Nuisance then anything. Ben

That puddle seemed bigger. LOL we look like dorks. To bad someone didnt take pics or vids of the next day and the level b road. No one would of been laughing then.

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/album.php?albumid=145 Heres a link for my photos but i think ill post the greatest hits. As you can see mick has been giving his brat so many steriods lately its exploded into something different entirely. Ha Proof the DNR was wrong.

Im going to be the 1st one to say. It is your car and do what you wish. Buttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt like its been statted that is a rare car. It would be like takeing a 1980s extended cab chevy truck and going mudding with it. Yea rare car. Looks like its in decent shape though. Take good care of it. Ben

I had that for a rental once. Good car but watch your shins. The doors can be ceceptive. I slamed a door right on my shin. Wow, hirt like hell.

Just remember to put a lama in your life.

Rear section still looks good. And all rims look good 2. But other then those things, yea total loss. Its to bad.

Yea the convertables are a rare breed for sure. ive only seen 3 in pictures. Please include pictures.

Just called DNR. Reservation cards will be at the campsight. So its good in the hood. I got bumped, my wife is takeing the camera so i might half to find other picture takeing equipment.

I cant find it, im sure if i give my name they would be cool. I dont think there going to be questioning some crazies camping in a thunderstorm.
