  1. Yeah well really the only option then is to have another motor from the same kind of motor put into it. But of course a shop is gonna charge a lot more to put another motor in. You could really do it yourself in a few hours, if you had all the parts and tools. Yeah I bet I can beat you on cold temp. It's currently 5* out right now! brrrrrrrr
  2. Well you could put a legacy motor in it with some work. search for EJ swap in the search area. But that's about it. That would give you a lot more power! But it takes a fair amount of work to do. By far the easiest would be to replace it with another motor out of the same style car. Are you doing the work yourself?
  3. My opinion is you should really return those lawn mower plugs and go get some NGK's! Champions are junk and I've never heard of a Subaru owners manual saying to use them. There is a reason you don't hear of them being used in Subarus! But you can disregard this as well, but I have a feeling you'll have issues later on with them! Good luck
  4. No you should be able to find a motor for less than 200, or not much more. Any 1.8 liter Loyale or EA82 motor will fit. But 87 and older was carburated, so look for one in an 88 or newer. There are a couple for sale on here. Look in the for sale section.
  5. Awesome! Good to see! How is the electrical stuff coming? temp gauge etc.
  6. I like the bumper a lot!! It looks nice and clean! I'm jealous of the car too! What a deal! I'm also very jealous of your shop!
  7. Sounds very nice! Are you still selling your other WRX? I'd like to see your new one and the 360!! But I know it's kind of hard to bring both unless you don't bring the RV!
  8. sweet! Incase you were wondering how I knew that. I just got some parts from him and he told me he had to go to Maryland and drop some parts of to you on the way down. Can't wait to see it all fixed up! Oh and tell Gabe I said Hi:grin:
  9. Yeah the old 80's ones are getting harder and harder to find, and then when you find one in good shape(not rusted out) they are asking a lot for them! But it was sweet! He had the solid front axle in it too.
  10. To comment on the comment on the hijack, toyota diesels were available in the 2WD Toyota pick ups. A friend of mine built a 4WD. He took the diesel out of the 2WD and put it in a 4WD and then had to do something with the oil pan to make it fit right. It had a hand throttle so you could literally get out and walk beside it up hill. And the low end torque was insane! He had a plow on it and in 4HI it would sit against a snow bank and very slowly...at idle....spin all the tires! It was awesome!
  11. try adding some dry gas to it to try to get the water out
  12. So let's see some pics of your car! And then when you do upgrades/mods to it, we can see the progress!
  13. That would be awesome! I've never seen a 360 in person!! Did Gabe drop the parts off for your WRX?
  14. right. That's what I was thinking.
  15. I like it! I'd like to do something to make mine blend in a little better. But with the option of being able to remove it. Nice job!
