  1. maybe this will help a bit? http://www.instructables.com/id/Add-an-auxiliary-MP3Ipod-input-to-your-cars-st/ i think i have a stock radio with a tape deck at home in the garage, if i remember tonight i'll dig around and see if i can come up with anything to help ya out.
  2. On my kenwood deck (with changer controls) i used to have, if you put a 10k resistor between the 2 non audio pins in the connector that went to the cd changer it would realize the cd changer was present. it would seem to me that if you found which wires were the L/R/GND you could try putting a resistor between the other 2 pins, of course, at your own risk as there could be a possibility of shorting out (maybe??) I have found that with these radios and their crappy antennas that the FM transmitters work pretty good. I have one of these. its a Harmon Kardon Drive+Play. has aux out and fm transmitter which you can program any station. with the antenna all the way retracted the unit can overpower REAL radio stations in my area. here is how i put it in. You can find these things for like $20 at Goodwill sometimes. who needs a clock?
  3. that looks pretty sweet man, but holy crap, that dif wouldnt last more than 2 seconds on the roads around here!
  4. i'll see about saturday, i gotta get that lcd projector over there for him to check out. maybe i'll be able to do it saturday night we'll see. the right height looks pretty normal as far as i can tell, as far as the camber i'll have to investigate.
  5. my dads supra ('87) had lifters on the hood, one fine winter day it caught me by suprise, wham for sure!
  6. next saturday as in Feb 27th? i gotta work from 7am till about 5 or so. so if i was able to go, it wouldnt be till after 5. im guessin i'll probably have to miss it. i could bring it to work if you wanted to swing by and pick it up on the way i will have to check out the wheels, i havent ever noticed that before. HMMMMMMM? did you notice that when it was rollin? or stationary?
  7. wow, my cars ride height ALMOST looks level in that picture! :-\ need some springs! shoulda stole them of the 89. oh well. i'll just have to get a 2" lift on one side and a 3" on the other. LOL (not really)
  8. that seriously did make my day. thats great! haha. im going to make it a point to flip you off tomorrow if the opportunity comes up .
  9. I thought the 2000 outback (SOHC) was non interference?!?!? but the 99 and earlier DOHC's were
  10. Ok, So im throwing the above mentioned codes. 1142 states to fix 0122 first. so. any subaru techs on here that run into this code and actually have the issue be faulty wiring? i've had the sensor 'cleaned' by the dealer but since then the problem eventually came back. also is causing strange shift points and hard shifting. i've also cleaned the contacts and such with electrical contact cleaner etc is it most likely that the sensor is just bad and i should just replace it and be done with it? just dont like to hear that since i already got over $300 in to the repair and what not. and the sensor is like $200 +/- (i've seen a bosch from Advanced Auto for $148 or something, other than that like $220+). Can i adapt a 3pin sensor to work with the setup? i can get a ton of those from the junkyard locally for $10/ea. no 4 pin ones. this is getting goofy/frustrating!
  11. my freebies are "DUAL" brand speakers, they are pretty cheap but they sound just fine. but then, i listen to the radio about 20 mins a day total. Mornin radio show in the morning, and then whatever is on in the afternoon afterwork. no need for good/great sound with my AmFm deck. LOL. and i only use ONE of the speakers. haha. but im weird. so its all good. i used to be audiophile in the car, but 3 stolen systems and a damaged ear later i figure i dont need all that noise.
  12. yeah those speakers are just subwoofers, and im guessing the amp is crossed over around 180mhz so you will just get some thumpin and tones... look for a good set of 2 way speakers for the doors, even somethin cheap will be better than nothin. i got door speakers for free from a dude on craigslist who bought them and didnt use them. it worked out perfect! if the amp/subs still work you could get some cash for it from some dood in the hood.
  13. ba dump bump!

     

    however, i think dubbaya was more of a chevy kinda guy.

  14. thats great! nice work on making it work for you. My question tho... do you have a remote control for that radio? Or are you like me and just listen to one station most of the time.
  15. You want me to bring it along tomorrow? could check the timing quick in the parking lot. all you need is a 10mm socket and about 14 feet of socket extensions:lol: to adjust the dist whats the dealio on this midwest subaru meet? im pretty sure i wouldnt be able to go.. lol but ya never know!
  16. it was on sale at Dad's garage:lol: he gave it to me when they bought their condo, so after 2.5 yrs, i finally used it! its old school. its a craftsman, and its chrome as hell!
  17. adjusted my timing from 15 to 20 degrees today... maybe that'll explain a little bit o the current fuel economy. that was actually the first time using my timing gun. so fun. now to fix my furnace:mad:
  18. Thanks for the info guys! I just have a bare gauge, so i'll have to wing the connections etc. Off Topic: Hey man, i dont think i'll make it over your way this week... gotta fix my ************ing microwave, POS died on me and have to get a new circuit board for it. its almost cheaper just to buy a new one!
  19. we got these back when i actually made money. luckily they are paid off now. my bike -883 Sportster, has drag pipes and a custom painted a/c cover now. wifes bike - probably has a dead battery now. '01 Suzuki Marauder vz800 and this badboy! Trek 700 or something with a 66cc 2 stroke
  20. SO this may be dumb, but, to install the mechanical gauge, so i just remove the oil pressure sender unit and connect it there and run a line to the gauge right? I did search. but came up short. if anyone see's a link that i dont know about feel free to post it to help future searchers
