subyrally

the best bulbs i have used were actually jdm blue "ultra white" bulbs. they were very much blue, but i never had any issues with visability, they were great in rain and fog as well. i second the vote for the silverstar head lights, they are bright and clan light and they last quite a while, ive had mine in the rx since i got it and the impreza for the last year almost.

you should work in a full roll cage while you have the sheet metal off. increase structural sections and the such.

the engine was lifted up by means of a jack under the tranny, i had to lift it up a few inches to get the oil pan out to change the gasket on it. now when i lower it back down, it doesnt line up. the mounts are at the outside fronts of the holes and i cant get the engine to slide back about 1/4" to get the mounts in place.

the prep work ws easy. hte only hard part sofar was getting the cam carriers i and i accomplished that already, not i just need to get the engine mount into their holes in the crosss members, sofar thats getting to be annoying cause the power steering resivior is in contact with the hood. is there any trick to getting the mounts into their holes without unbolting the tranny and using an engine hoist? cause i really dont want to undo the tranny and i dont have a hoist.

dont worry about it gary. ill get new rods most likely, i am already going to get new pistons.

i want to rally, that would be so fun. maybe i will enter some beginer races if i ever get a project car up and running right.

looks like photoshop or maybe im blind

the legacy b4 was a beast from japan. i want to say that it had like 280 hp, but i really dont remember, i havent payed much attention to it. i just know the car is amazing.

NO!!! pics now dagnabit. will, im sure what ever you end up with will wow everyone that sees it. good luck with the work on it, cant wait to see the fineshed project

i have a spyder and a xt-6 throttle body, but they arent together or on the engine, not yet anyways. im hoping to have em find their way together soon.

tlak to the guys at ram preformance engines, they mentioned larger stainless steel valves for the ea82t.

if im not mistaken, the rear wheel wells are metal in a brat. your bes bet would possibly be to get sone mew metal shaped and welded in. also, i think that the wheel well is also structural where it holds the rear struts. i might be wrong on this though, i just fell outta bed like 5 minutes ago. im sure that someone with more expiriance with brats and other ea81 cars will chime in soon though. peace tim

ok, good news, looks lie the cookout is on, just moved back about two hours from when i wanted to start. i got things figured out at work and will be able to host the cookout at 2 instead of 12. ive updated the first post with some info and what not. peace tim

rally car

i think that i might have to change the time of the meet, i gotta see if i can change my schedule at work, even though i requested that day off, two people got canned and im scheduled to for throught the cookout. ive got to talk to my manager to see if maybe i can open and maybe got outta there around 2 or so, if thats the option, then ill just have to move the cookout back a couple hours. ill know by tomarrow, sucks cause ive been planning this since last year. and i requested the time iff over a month ago. ill keep you all posted

after the cookout, theres thoughts of ghost hunting or go cart racing. if we co go carting, id suggest that you bring about $30 to run a few races.

a link would be great.

grease didnt work for me. when in doubt, duck it. i used a bit of duct tape over the rockers and that held em. i managed to get teh carrier back in after a bit of though and couple cigarettes. after i cooled off a bit and started thinking rationally, i finally got it on. granted, i noticed that i cracked the back side of the timing belt cover, not that i usually run them on the car. are the back side covers at the cam gears neccisary? i know that the one by the oil pump is needed to keep a gear at the right position, but what about the one thats cracked?

i am trying to finish my head gasket job on my rx, the tear down asn head gasket replacement went by with out any real issues, but now that i am trying to reassemble the engine, i am hitting walls left and right. i am doing the job in the car as i dont have a garage or an engine hoist. i cant keep the rockers on the lifters. everytime i go toget the cam carrier on, one or two rockers fall off, then when i get those back on, the others fall off. im getting rather frustrated with this cause i really want to get it running before next weekend. i know there is a way to get this together in the car as a few poeple have already done it before. if i had an engine hoist and a garage this would have been done the other week. are there any tricks to getting the cam carriers in without the rockers falling out? thanks

youd be luck to find any "quick". but maybe we can rig something up when you get here.

for $139, you could get a real intake for your car.

unibody construction = no lubing theframe needed. the u-joints are "lifetime lubed". sounds like you have worked on a lot of american cars or trucks before the forester. the only time youd find zerks on a suby is if you have replaced the u-joints with an aftermarket replacement. if im missed anything, let me know.

way to go man, just remember that you gota get her into cars at an early age. congrats on the new addition to you family.

yeah, gravelrx, you should come. maybe ill be able to save some $$ and buy some of the other parts you are bringing. i cant wait till the cookout, im hoping to have me some fun. would be really fun if we could do some off roading up here, but there isnt much around. well, not that is legal.

hmmm, does anyone have a trailer that they will be bringing to bring a car on? if so, id like to get my rx to the meet if possible. well, if i get it running again anyways.
