  1. I just used the search function and end up finding this: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=103951&highlight=2+inch+lift&page=2 It was really easy to make but I redid the front the other day since I had some positive camber. I haven't had a chance to install them yet. I'll post up pics when I do. Also, progress on the LSD removal. I rounded off one of the stub bolts since I didn't know it was a recessed torx. So now I have to go get some 1/4 drive torx sockets since I only have 3/8 drive ones. I forgot to post these pics of what I did to that stubborn busted axle. The splines were rusted pretty good and the PB didn't even get in there at all.
  2. Thanks dude. I went back to pull a part to get the axles that defeated me last time and was victorious! I was disappointed that one of the cars was gone so I only got two axles instead of four. I'm also going to start working on my rear LSD swap in the next day or so. I wish the weather was going to be better this week since there were two legacys that haven't had anything on the engines messed with yet or any wires cut.
  3. Hey man, it was cool running into someone from here. Thanks for getting my friend in the yard. I didn't actually get any of those damn axles off, not sure what I was doing wrong for them to not come off since they slid on the splines ok. I did get a new tail light though. I ended up breaking my 3/8ths ratchet so I have to take that to sears now :-\.
  4. I didn't get them, if you looked at the pics you'd see that I have wild countrys. I got them for $100. They're been working pretty well for what's around here. I still need to get a new axle though, been pretty broke lately and haven't made it to the junkyards yet.
  5. What goes on at the WCSS events? Their website is completely useless and still has WCSS11 stuff on there. I might make it out there.
  6. got some pics and footage from wheeling on sunday. I busted my rear passenger half shaft. I can't get the damn thing to come off though. the outer cup wont move at all on the splines.
  7. haha, so we do. I need to get a new hood for mine. I'm also going to put my new radiator in, in a few minutes. It was getting a little hot yesterday but I'm pretty sure my head gaskets are still intact. Also, I might go to Tahuya next weekend with my friend in his ranger if anyone wants to meet up. A small subie meet would be fun.
  8. Tried and failed to get up the peak in capital forest. So far I'm happy with the tires though. The trail is pretty tough with some of the rocks leaving you with a flat face to try to pull a wheel up. I really need to get my LSD installed. I would weld it if it wasn't my daily. only got a few pics but here they are.
  9. Been awhile since I posted last. I been pretty busy working on my race car for the next lemons race. Yesterday I finally got some tires for my peugeot wheels. They're 205/75R15(27") AT's. I haven't taken it offroad yet but I might take it up to capital forest and see about going up some trails. All i had to do was take the front mudflaps off and hammer in the front corners of the front fenders. It rubs a little bit when I'm turning in a parking lot where the mud flap was on one side so I need to take my BFH to that. I also got my weber carb on the car about a month ago, it's been a lot better than the hitachi but I'm still having problems. I have some issues with it backfiring and dieseling more often lately. It also has a little hesitation sometimes when I go to accelerate, it's worst when it's cold. I did step up the main idle jet to a 55 and it seemed to help out some. If you have suggestions I'm all ears. Edit: Can a moderator change the thread title to NinjaTech's 87 wagon build? Thanks.
  10. what the hell happened to WW1? Looks like it might have been a bumble bee and crashed?
  11. They would raise the compression ratio.
  12. you can get those cheaper from 4wheel parts. they were $105 last time I checked. Not sure on the shipping from either store though.
  13. yeah I hope it helps. It will declutter the engine bay at least. I didn't get the glasspack on. I haven't been able to get to my friends, especially since I started getting really sick last week. Almost over the cold now though. It's unfortunate that I can't just pull my car into the welding shop at school. Someone stole the portable welder so I can't do anything like that anymore.
  14. I used my 10amp angle grinder with a cutoff wheel. sawzalls don't have badass sparks flying everywhere.
  15. I cut mine off when I put my 2" lift on and it didn't seem to change it much. I think it actually cut a fair amount of understeer out if anything.
  16. I got a weber 32/36 today for $70. The guy said it was off a toyota 20R or 22R and was recently rebuilt. It's also a manual choke model which is great since I wont have to bash up my PS reservoir or adjust it seasonally. The jetting is as follows: Primary/Secondary Idle 50/55 Main 140/135 A/Cs 160/170 I'm going to switch the A/Cs since it should be 170/160 then just see how it is with the current jetting.
  17. Yeah, I would drive a Yugo if that got me into the WRC. Most drivers don't care what they're driving as long as they're able to compete and get paid. At least he isn't driving for Citroen haha.
  18. just found this video of The Slab. Even has a soob in the start of it. looks pretty fun.
  19. I should be able to go providing I have money between lemons races.
  20. my friend took this pic last weekend.
  21. probably the junkyard off any ea82.
  22. I haven't been able to get tires yet. I might order a set of General Grabber AT2's next week if I have enough cash. I have to pay for another welding certification so we'll see. I'm going to see if discount will pricematch tirerack.com.
  23. Well, I'm out for this one. Can't get a hold of tires that I want. Also, my engine is acting a bit funny lately with intermittent stumbling and big power loss. Sometimes it works just fine though so I have no idea wtf is up with it. checked all the ignition components and they all look good. I'll check my compression and some other stuff this weekend. better safe than sorry. I'll also be able to save up a bit and either get some general grabber AT2's or some sort of mud terrain. Leaning towards the grabbers since they're cheap and will probably hold up better to daily driving.
  24. Thanks for the offer but I'd rather get tires for the 15" peugeot wheels I just got. You're also pretty far from me. :-\
  25. I'm having some trouble finding tires so I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it.
