Yea I have to research that bit some more... I know the offset is 55mm, and I think the wheels are 17X7

My driver side one leaks oil externally. About 9K miles and still running strong Interesting smell, sometimes smokes and people tell me my car is on fire (facepalm) Edit: USMB needs a Facepalm icon...

I think I will go 205/40/17 as I have found a few tire options that are affordable. According to the Miata.Net tire size calculator: Old tire: 185/70/13 New Tire: 205/40/17 Difference in height: .3" Difference in speedometer: 60mph actually means 60.7mph No big deal. But Id say that means I can drop 2 inches and not rub since if I dropped 2 inches now, I wouldnt rub... wheel wells look so huge...

WHOA! Thats a clean DL... I just noticed this thread (I apologize for not commenting sooner) but you have had some CLEAN Subarus!

Garrett are you doing this on your phone? I see spelling mistakes up the arse. Hes got stock Fozzy wheels, and its close, super close... Hes got pics w/ NED in the New Member section (New from Oregon thread)

If its an EA81, its got slightly less power than an EA82 but its probably more reliable.

That looks clean! Welcome to USMB. You will find everything you need here! Make sure to read the FAQs and search plenty I own an 86 GL, and I must say hes clean, but not that clean!

Hold up. I must text you.

Thank you Cyfun! Sounds like Ill get to unleash my horsepower beast sooner rather than later I currently have a carbed EA82 (86 GL) and Im going with a SPFI EA82, so Ill get a little compression boost, plus Ive got a weber 32/36 on it, and Ill be sending my cams to Delta for a torque grind... I may see like 95 horsepower

Breaking in the motor: in my thoughts (this could be dangerous) Taking it easy (oh god this will be hard) for the first 3-5k miles? Havent thought of break in oil yet... I use chevron 10W30 in it now since its like 2.69 a quart... would this be acceptable? Maybe a half/synthetic? Im with you... no knowledge of break-in oil as Ive never had something with 0 miles before (other than shoes)

Amen to that, when Im broke (usually) and anywhere below 1/2 tank, I be good... because I know oh I know I can watch my gas needle drop.

True... I have heard that a lot, and seen it with my own eyes They do break when trying to get STI cam pulleys off :lol:

Just changed my buddies new foresters oil last night... at 1030pm because it had a FRAM on it Ive heard good things about WIX may have to use them

95 or 96 EJ22 is still non-interference right?

I will look next time hes here. Or you can when we are there Thursday It runs nicely, I didnt notice any funky noises, just funky looking stuff. Axles are toast on the front but that could be from the lift. Has a small oil leak I think, has a plastic crushwasher still :-\ will have to get a metal one for it

It was an accident, I was trying to get in front of someone after driving my moms auto tragic Hyundai and saw the RPMS hit 7000 and clutched in and shifted into 3rd. But my EA is a great motor thanks to GD, when the motor is replaced, I hope it does just as well as this one has.

Total noob question: Do I need to buy some kind of "synthetic oil filter" to last that long? Ive never re-used an oil filter, so Ive always assumed they go about 3K miles and mine get changed at 2500-2800 miles.

Its tags expired in 2011, has 2013 tags on the rear. Ill have him look and make sure the sticker is legit... Maybe its registered like Ned? But theres no CEL...

Yupp. I noticed that last night when they brought it over. We're still in mystery about what EJ22 this has in it... but we are going to get NGKs and a new coil pack for it. Get this. It still has the plug wires from the EJ25D with the little handles on it... (edit, just noticed you already saw that) Itll take some work, but its not tear-down and rebuild kinda work, so hes pretty happy. It does pretty nice on mobbing grassy hills and stuff. When we come out Thursday, there is some stuff we want to point out and ask about

Im jealous of your photoshop drop. I can never get this right on paint

I have gone clear to 7K before shifting... granted it was on accident, but I didnt blow up...

Which is something I may consider... But when I see the price on those oil change jugs Im like my poor already flat broke pocket book haha. I had heard that the T6 was great because walmart has the jugs for like <$22

The engine that I will be putting full synthetic in will be rebuilt before the oil goes in, so I should be golden

We just realized that. Probably going to get a CAI and put it in its place.

I thought I saw 5/30 in it but maybe not lol.
