I have. But I don't have one to get the measurements from...or an A Bar to copy. Anyone?

Hello. Just reminding people, I'm still around. Check out my site: http://www.headtraumainc.com With business lulling for HTi Fabrication, my full time company, I figured I'd see if anyone was interested in some items. We have 15 EA82 Brake light guards ready to ship. 2 EA82 Rear Bumpers ready to ship. 1 EA82 Front Tube Bumper ready to ship. Thanks all!

I don't believe a couple teeth will cause bent valves. Do you have the correct marks lined up? Especially on the crank pulley, it's the mark on the little "tab" type thing (crank sensor trigger)... not the arrow on the face of the crank. Hopefully this wasn't redundant.

It's the tires. Unless your engine isn't stock, the tire diameter will reduce your torque. Sand is pretty much the only offroad I do, as I live 50 miles from the sand dunes. Air down as the others have said. Another good idea is to know an alternate route, if you're attempting a hill or something, no where to break off if you don't make it. Sand conditions are a big complication too. If it's wet, compacted sand, you're pretty much golden, I've seen an Acura Integra far off the parking lot, in the sand. If it's nice dry, soft sand, that's another beast. My friends brought their stock imprezas on the sand and over a seawall with no problem. It's awesome to see the truck guys' faces when an Impreza sedan or "station wagon" (Outback) goes flying by. I've taken Ea81s, Ea82s, and my outback on the sand...I think the EA81s are the most fun. Also, it helps to know the area. There's nothing like bombing off a 7 foot razorback.

A little late, but try to make sure any bottle you buy used isn't a rental bottle someone scammed from a Gas place. There isn't much crappier feelings than the one of trying to get your bottles filled and having the supplier say "These are our bottles, you can't have them back, unless you rent." But yes, when welding sheet metal, you pretty much just want to do tack welds opposite of each other.

Honestly, if you're bowing 3/16" steel blocks, your car body/suspension is going to be damaged somewhere. As you will be hardpressed to find any piece of the subframe where the stamped metal happens to be thicker than 3/16" of an inch. Not even the metal on the bumper is that thick.

We finally got around to making some. $400 plus shipping. Yes, we're addressing the gap under the headlight and the gap between the tubes (in front of tire), PM or email at sales@hti-fab.com with orders or questions.

True. If you're gunna swap that much, might as well go with the EJ route, even the ej18 has close to the same power as an ea82t. But it matters where your loyalty lies.

A lot of people run straight 2.5" pipe. Probably not legal in most states as it nulls any attempt at emissions. Now, offroad use is different. I ran 2.25" pipe with a flowmaster, it sounded alright, but a little too muscle car for me. A lot of people will say that you don't really have a size restriction after the turbo, as the turbo is all the backpressure you need. On a slight tangent: I've bell mouthed my downpipe and that made a huge difference for spool up.

Just saying he does good, great priced, work. Fast shipping. Thanks.

I've used Rustoleum Flat Black. Flat black is easy to shoot. Don't have to worry much about overspray. I agree, it's %95 prep work. You have to sand, sand, and sand. Feather out any specs or scratches. However, I'm not a pro and the cars I'm spraying aren't customers, they're mine or friend's. But I'm kinda proud of the outcome. I was surprised with how nice the Rustoleum is holding up. I figured it would flake off in a month. A winter, spring, and now summer has and is hammering it. It's been on gravel and mud. He left the mud on for a couple weeks and it "etched" it (you can see where the mud was, not actually peeling paint off). So, in the end, I'd hope a professional painter pipes up or you can go around and ask. What are you aiming for with this paint job?

If you space everything 2" like I do with the 4" lift, it won't affect anything like camber. The brake lines may need to be removed from the strut and relocated. In the rear I add a 4" extension to the line or replace the last metal piece with a longer one.

We still make lifts, we haven't really got a price on them. As for a tube bumper, you have any pics?

Yes, they just bolt on. No welding required.
