I got the Subaru vids I shot up at Your tube here ya'll go you've all seen this one a sound clip of my car and an unfortunate WRX enjoy

This is a little mod that I came across a few years ago. I found a bulb that was the same size and shape as the 906/921 bulb which shares the same socket as a 194 bulb. The only difference is that instead of being the automotive standard 3-7watts these bulbs were 11watts, and were still 12v. Since then I found that they recently came out with a 18w 12v bulb that is a direct fit. Initially I started to find places on my car to put these new bulbs but I ran into some problems using them to replace the 194 bulbs. The head of the bulbs are bigger than 194s so they won't fit in the bulb housings used on cars in many locations. The bulbs also get hot enough to melt the lense plastic. So they'll work as turn signals, like the side signals, with just some electrical tape keeping the socket in place. The bulb won't get hot enough blinking to melt the lense. They're also great if you have removed the amber lenses inside many front corner lights, otherwise they'll fit many cars without any modification (like in the corners of the 98-00 RS). Here is a picture of what the 18w bulb looks like compared to the stock 194 Here is a picture of one from the side, they conveniently shine ahead into the side of other cars, enabling the driver to get a good look at potential problems with other vehicles, note: this was taken at dusk and the brightness of the car is accurate Here is a comparison to a blinker and the side projection of an HID headlight Finally here is example of how bright they are compared to the direct projection of an HID headlight Ok, so where can you find these bulbs? Home Depot, other home goods places (ie WalMart, Taget, Lowes) may carry them also but I can only confirm that Home Depot has the 18w bulbs. To find them look in the garden lighting area (the inside department usually has more stock). They are replacement bulbs for garden lights, like the ones pictured below. thanks for reading and sorry if this is old news.

looks good and beefy, I don't know about have the lights that low, especially with questionable approach angles, btw where's your turn signals? is that ticket worthy up there?

I wish they would have a show like that around here!!! :slobber::slobber::slobber::slobber::slobber::slobber::slobber::slobber::slobber::slobber::slobber:

I'll be going "down under" in August, arrange someone to have it in in Sydney, Melborne, or Cairnes and I can meet them to get it... or just have them ship you one

looks great!! get that leak fixed, if it's on your feet then it's probably a windshield gasket and there's only one place to get them (look at the top of the Historic Forum) it's great to see another subaru getting the love it deserves

I'll look tonight if I remember

My first name is Jeff, I talked to a lady when I ordered mine, their part number is in one of my previous posts, that will match up to the Gen1s

get a small hand sander too, they make wheel prep very easy

I'm sure the law is different from state to state, but this should be in FAQ if it isn't already, this is a great thread

the black should be the spray rubber, and it would look good with the area under the side moulding in the spray rubber too

NICE!!!!!! can't wait to see it in action

it should be the Hitachi carb, might want to post a picture just in case

the gen 1 wagon is pretty small, about the size of a gen 2 hatch, if I had more room then it wouldn't be in the way when I'm hauling stuff I'd like to get a swing arm to mount it to but I'd have to mount the plate on the wheel because there isn't enough room between the tail light and the plate for the wheel

so the gas motor would only be for the generator? if so that's the most efficient way to do it you plan on having four electric motors or two?

I assume your not talking about the boots right?

actually if you make a true hybrid then you'll get 100-200mpg the "hybrids" that are out now are more like dual-drivetrain (gas and electric) rather than hybrid to make a true hybrid then you'd need the entire drivetrain to be electric with a gas generator on board hope that helps, and it should be able to recoup your investment sooner, also most people buy hybrids to relieve their own dependance on oil rather than save money

I'd agree with you except that I'd like to be able to keep using it, and a Honda would not survive the jump, the Subaru however

I'm iciclelover... figured it wouldn't make much sense

thanks guys!! the black wrx got ran into by a truck, traffic definatly sucks around here

here's wallpapersized for ya

sweet, any pics around?

I can't move the rack since I use it for mi bikes

and the jump (I'm gonna catch flak on hear for this) PS watch the tire on the roof
