exactly, and maybe any write-ups on doing some cool custom installs of stuff, like there was one about how to wire your fogs to a relay, instead of right through the switch, I'll have to try to find it. here it is: http://www.carcentral.net/content/guides/HowToInstallAuxiliaryLights.php Also a good idea for wagon speakers: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18402 -Chux

I love it! I'm sold. I, too, have a roof-mount ski/bike rack with a fairing so I don't think the wind noise will be a problem. I think I may put mine a bit further forward, I love having the open air directly above me, and with the fairing, I think the rain would be pretty effectively deflected. Thanks a ton! -Chux

I know this has been posted in different forms for different reasons, but I'm researching my project for next summer, most of the parts I will be getting from local JY's etc. but there are a couple things I think would be better if bought new. And while I'm at it, I hope to make a good resource for fellow subie lovers to make their own unique rig! I'll start with the obvious one: BYB lift kits http://www.ausubaru.com/byb/ (I think this is the most recent link, please correct me if I'm wrong) and this one, which I just found out about, and must have as a part of this project! http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/ragtopsunroofs.html and some more info from a fellow USMB member, http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22034 Any other ideas of cool subaru or universal mods that would make for a sweet addition to making a neat rig. Maybe fog/driving/off-road lights, push-bars, roof-racks, etc. -Chux

How airtight is this? I'm very seriously considering this to go with my project for next summer, but it would probably be a part of my winter daily driver, so I might have to find a way to insulate it better. Any ideas? Is yours vinyl or canvas? very cool!!! -Chux

yea, I think it would get raped my minnesota winters, but still, I WANT BAD!!! Is there a website for this dealer? If not, where else might I find one? even if I have to put a tarp over my car every time I come home in the winter, it'd be totally worth it in the summer!!! -Chux

heres a pic of the 1A raingutter ones on my '85 wagon, and there is a mount that bolts right into the rails where your factory rack is now mounted. I bought these from a fellow USMB member, but I know our local Galyans has them, but these are pretty sturdy, there's nothing wrong with getting them used!

one word: AMEN!!!!! I've been telling my friends that I'm looking at putting a lift under my wagon, and they practically laughed me out of the building. then I went down a trail and the jeep almost tipped on, and the full-sized, lifted pickup got high-centered, and I sat there laughing. Who's the idiot now biatch! USMB FOR LIFE!!!!

ditto

I thought you didn't have to connect anything, wasn't that just to clear codes? or am I all bassackwards.

Yea, I beleive one of his family members (? correct me if I'm wrong) is on here, and posted those pics right after they were taken, before the videos where even available. Some thought it was photoshopped, but it's real!!! If you look closely, you can see that the windsheild brok on impact!

thanks man, but that just doesn't make much sense, I only fold the seat down if I'm taking a bunch of people somewhere (usually to places they can't or won't go in their own cars ) in which case it stays down pretty well. thanks -Chux

and on my '85, though bent and non-functional, it's all there, and probably could be fixed, if I cared, but the seats are almost always folded down anyway, so whatever -Chux

maybe I soundlike an idiot, but how do you just take out a front axle? isn't it kind of an important piece of holding the rotor/hub on? I've replaced the DOJ boot on one side, and the whole axle on the other, so you'd think I'd have a better idea of how it worked! -chux

some pics of the new decals, oh so pretty!!!

LOL reminds me of that time my GL smoked my friends '77 big block powered (460 i think) lincoln continental on loose gravel in 4wd etc.

CONGRATS!!! You'll love it!

not too much less. IMHO, no less than $1500 -Chux

Looks like a good car, I think the price sounds a bit steep, but not too bad considering it's rust-free (or looks like it). -Chux

My GL has it, it's very nice, I love showing it off to my friends with newer "nicer" cars, and making fun of the fact that they don't have it! -Chux

It's been said but I'll say it again, watch out for rust, and not just on the body, get down on the ground and look underneath the car and in the wheel-wells, especially in structural places. In most cases, the rust will render the car unusable before any serious mechanical problems. DON'T get an auto, They're only a 3-speed which means freeway speeds are very high rpm (60 mph = almost 4k) which means 3 things: 1. tranny goes out faster (mine went at ~120k) B. mileage is very bad by comparison and 3. it's quite a bit harder on the motor. Not to mention that 5-speeds are FAR more fun !!! I would also recommend getting a fuel-injected one, I can't say that I have a very good comparison, but both mine have about the same problems and the loyale has TONS more low end torque. just my $.02 -Chux

got mine aswell. good work, I'm going to wait until I finish the swap before I put any of them on. -Chux

I have a timing light, and I've checked the timing, it's right at 8 degrees, advancing it would be to turn it to 10 right? or am I bassackwards? -Chux

I'm sending cash tomorrow, for: 2 USMB logo decal -> $8 1 8" 4WD decal -> $4 1 "roll me over" decal in "Castel TUlt" text -> $8 all in white I'll send this info w/money aswell. Thanks -Chux Any word on the price of the tread decal, that may be a part of next summer's project, maybe

call me a moron, but I always get this confused, advance is higher? right? I'm having the same problem, my solution is to ditch the motor, poor thing, I'll hang on to it for parts, but the loyale SPFI goes so much better. -Chux
