  1. drive line is 91 leggacy awd wagon i believe. Im positive its subaru. I know what a driveline looks like and what a subaru logo looks like. ha ha!:-p scott may chime in for you if you ask in big red letters,spin in 2 circles, and say "SJR SJR SJR!" should work.. im sorry i cant help you more. no number on the subaru sticker that is on my driveline. SJR SJR SJR!
  2. "reaR IS FROM 91 LEGGACY AWD WAGON' 82-92 3.9 ratio" went and looked at driveline and its subaru. i miss lynwood, went to terrace highschool and lived in brier.
  3. sweet man! Its like an off road magic carpet! :-p
  4. thanks so much for the info bud! Ill be pay palling you soon....
  5. bosch reman starter is in! I put it in on my lunch break, just in time too. The original was sounding like gravel was inside and i would sometimes have to put it in gear and rock it to start. She starts like a new honda now.... I was suprised at how quiet and clean this starter sounds. Appointment on tuesday for a new flowmaster cat and wed for a 3rd smog attempt. The dmv here in town extended my permit to haloween so i think i can get it to pass by then if i have to install 2 cats to pass. well see. Scott front struts are??? EBRAKE FROM ORIGINAL CAR OR LEGACY REAR?? THANKS.:-p
  6. Since purchase i have: -cleaned, cleaned, cleaned in and out (so dusty dirty now from off roading with the windows down. we have tons of manzanita that likes to find itself in my car everywhere. Trails are sometimes tight she squeeeeks through the brush.) out here its brush/tree branch pinstripes instead of cascade pinstripes and i have alot of them already:-p -cut off the bottom lip of front bumper. shaved sides of front bumper and sucked them in using zipties from the inside. (looks nice n hourglassy from the front) -removed front sway bar, car has no rear bar (nice n slinky on the trails not bad on the road) -neatly cut the plastic on the shift surround to accomidate the 4wd stick and installed a boot. -reinforced the rear where the kit attaches to the body. zzz(drilling through whole body into car, running hardened bolts with big strong house framing washers on top, one big rectangle steel plate (old leaf spring steel) washer with 2 holes on bottom as a nice fat perch for her to sit on. shes now a happy bird. lol -$5 yakama rack from the thrift store. made a fairing from libtech snowboard bottom sheet martial...(I worked for lib when living in seattle years ago and had been saving this for just the occasion!) tied my tire on rack, made space in tire carrier for emergency air compressor and recovery gear. -changed both front axles and one front spindle (passenger spindle was cracked at the ball joint mount) -hung the exhaust nice and tight without rattles -removed snorkus, cut tube to go in firewall and angle as far up as i could and drilled holes in the sides about 1.5 in down of for some side intake. Then zip tied an outerwear prefilter (keeps water/dust out) on the end of the tube aswell. (water safety line is just below midbody trim) added k&n air filter to stock airbox. -Threw on some :cool: "bling" gorilla blue chrome locking lugnuts. (i love how tight the key is for these lugnuts!) -replaced all out lights (blinker, interrior dome/insterment pannel) On the do do list is: - fix rear washer (pumps fine yet no fluid out the nozzle and dripps in car) lol - Find out how im gonna get the ebrake cable to work (its too lose all tight at handle. need to see if there is a way to adjust at the rear brakes or if i need a different shorter cable) - Fix reverse lights, No reverse lights since i got her. Shes almost past emissions.... Had to get a new rear cat (small front cat has been removed.) I believe i can pass with just the new rear cat because i was 5 increments off on the test. (what ever increments they use) Luckily the tester is a good guy and working with me to get my car to pass. I have the cat on order and will have it installed next week. (just in time for my extension to end) :cool:My california plates/tabs are paid for and waiting for me once i go to DMV with a pass cert. been workin off n on to get her to pass since end of june. Cali plates will take some gettin use to! Also replacing the starter on the dualrange with a rebult bosch. My starter had been making odd noises for a few weeks. Yesterday to get to work, she made me get out and rock her in gear to finally turn over.... she likes to make me work for my drives sometimes.:-p Had other things in mind for this money..... yet i gotta keep her legal and starting now... priorities sheesh. :cool:Scott:cool:, I know i have the 2wd rear struts and springs in. Are the front struts and springs outback or 2wd impreza as well? also what ebrake cable is in there? thanks man.:-p

  8. nice scott!! I see a warehouse in the distant future... SJR unlimited! livin the dream!
  9. welcome to the mechanic/drivers paradise... one more subaru in the mix!
  10. watch the rear.. With this tall of a lift it lowers the spring perches down, these can hook under the body if the car is at an angle and the shock compresses. Your lift is bolted in to the stock locations that are held on the other side (inside unibody frame rail). These 4 points that hold the lift to the body pulled out, The only thing holding them is a tack weld from the factory robot arm that tacked that nut in there with no washer. I drilled through the body completely and ran bolts top down with a cut piece of leaf spring steel on bottom as one washer with 2 holes. this prevented the dents that were starting to happen from the 2 mount points of each rear lift piece. For the inside of car i used large house framing washers to prevent pull through. So your just making a platform for the car's rails to sit on instead of the 2 mount points that seem for me to sink in to the frame. the next thing i will do if it gets bendy again back there is to put a piece of pipe in between the 2 washer set up so the bolt and nut hold on to (sandwich) the pipe instead of putting pressure on the frame. The rear seems a little waggly as the only thing keeping you up is the blocks and the shocks, they move from left to right a little when on steep side slopes. (sway bar is removed in my set up) I LOVE my car and I love the sjr lift on it. With the 6 in lift and 28.8in tires I am amazed at what i can roll over with out hearing a sound. I removed the front sway bar and i (along with anyone wheeling with me) am amazed at how well she still handles on the street still.(just driving round normally) Off road is amazing with no sways on these cars! My fern just slowly lifts one wheel then the other like shes slinking along the forest floor. unrestricted indpendant suspension at its finest. I wheeled her with the front bar on (came with no rear bar) and she would slip front wheels all the time. I could not imagine trying to wheel this thing with out the low gearing of the DR transmission swap aswell. scott makes a great kit and i wish i lived closer so i could wheel with him and his family.
  11. :burnout:my car does everything i want her to... except fly. wish i could come play.
  12. wow! you washed her! Sweet bumper man....
  13. So still no camera but I realized I do have a video camera.... Come along on a back woods cruze..... Its not too exciting but i thought id share.....
  14. you'll be impressed with how quiet your rig gets after this mod. :-p
  15. ha! this is great... I just bought a subaru over saving up for the ultimate samurai. I had many dreams of trailing my future samurai..... 86 Samurai 1.8 sidekick engine Trail Tough YJ spring conversion 31in BFG Mudders Now I dream of moderately offroading my wagon. So far im in love. Sayonara Samaurai Deams! Bring on the Imprezza realities!
