Wow, that thing is very clean! Care to share what you picked it up for?
-
That looks great! And power everything! Can't beat that!

I just need rust free ones, with no big dents. And I'm happy to pay for them, and shipping. Just need both sides at once, to save on shipping.

I have been searching, and have had a WTB ad up as well. does anyone know who sells front fenders for a Loyale/EA82 GL? I need a set badly! If anyone has any info, please let me know! Thank you

I have seen and heard of numerous 2.5 head gasket issues with as little as 50k on them. That's more than old age. It had to do with a poor gasket design, and thin metal surrounding the cylinder walls that weren't good at dissipating heat well enough. And yes, 99 autos did have issues as well, but not nearly as numerous and widespread as the 2.5 head gaskets have been! I currently own 2, 2.5 cars. One has had head gaskets done, and one hasn't. The one that hasn't is the first one I have ever seen out of the ones I've worked on, and the ones I've owned that hasn't had any issues, and it has 150k on it. But the other one has had them done twice. Suzuki samurais go awesome. Had a friend with one that we put 235 75 15's and the thing would crawl over everything!

It's actually funny you said something about NOT finding 1000's of complaints online about it. You actually do if you search for it. And 2001+ leak as well. They have done many revisions to try to correct the issue, yet it still happens. 96-98 was internal leak, where the coolant could cook the bearings, and mix with the oil as well. And the 99+ was external, where for the most part, it was just oil that leaked, but it still caused issues with overheating.

It's actually not. Some just last longer than others before they leak. But both phases have the issue, just in a different way.

That facebook link didn't work. It just goes to my own facebook.

Looks nice from that one pic. We definitely need more pics from all angles.

So tempted. I have just never had much of an issue with my home made 2" lifts eating axles, and now that I have your kit, which is camber correct, it should already be a huge improvement. But I don't even have the car yet, so I don't know. But the new car will be EJ'd, so it may be better to have the axles at less of an angle.

Got Some Subaru NOS Fog Light covers!

I sold a set of these last year to tundrabrat. -
Looks great. Man I can't wait to get my new car!

87 GL Wagon +93 Turbo Loyale Engine?
bratman18 replied to ystrdyisgone's topic in Subaru Retrofitting
He said it's a Loyale turbo motor -
How much did you get down there? We got around 30" up here.

I've always used scrap sheet metal. It does take a fair amount of time to clean it, and prep it for welding, and even more time to get it shaped correctly, but I always get it to fit in nicely. I usually make it fit in the opening, no overlaps, or not much. But as I said, it takes more time. I hate body work.....

But you can have custom tunes put on the AP along with all the other benefits. Many tuners can upload their tunes to the AP.

The Awesome Older Generation Picture Thread

I thought I'd seen it before, but didn't remember a thread. -
Whenever I have lifted my Subarus, I have always had to toe them out slightly to decrease the front end lift, and increase tire life.

^You should really start a tread on that. That's cool as hell. And check out the rear dished wheels, I love the stance. -
The same amount that the subframe spacers were.
-
Looks like mine when I had BBS's on it. Did you have to roll the rear fenders?

98 legacy outback wagon... sits too tall, need some ideas
bratman18 replied to mightGETaSUBARU's topic in Suspension
If he uses 93-01 Impreza struts he will need to change the rear top hat. -
Damn nice work!
