I'll take all the advice I can get.

What firing order did you use? -
That telephone pole didn't jump in front of you! That motor didn't explode. You could pass Cali inspection. How many questions were posed by you? Or were you just post whoring again? My hatch was retired due to rusty body mounts. After 5 years and 30K.

Uhhh, yeah... Let me see if I get what's being said here. If you add more air and more fuel you will not gain HP. GD(Rick) you usually have somewhat intellegent things to add to topics. However, you are right back to badgering people who second guess your opinion. You do not have all the answers. BTW, the ASV adds unburned fuel and exhaust back into the system not oxygen into the exhaust. To all those who think GD is spot on. Just because he speaks loudest and most often does not make him right all the time. A simple case of speak what you know not what you think! Using the search function can and will answer a lot of the simple most asked questions. However, not everyone knows how to use the search engine to it's fullest. This is an enthusiasts forum. We get new enthusiasts every day. Quit being an rump roast!

Now there's something Brian could answer, from experience! How many have you retired that didn't run right or you personally wrecked?

My swap parts came from a '93 Legacy "L". I didn't have any issue with the cables being too long.
-
I appreciate your zest but these do not turn the typw of rpm's to really benefit from those parts. WWU has had a storied history of automotive modifications that were truly revolutionary. Good luck but think through expensive versus benefit when building this one up.

The biggest contributor to time will be disassembly. If things come apart easy then it could be as fast as 2 hrs with air tools. If they are resistant to removal then it will take longer. Be sure to swap out the whole knuckle/hub assy. Also make sure that if you have ABS that the new parts have it as well. The E-brake lines will need to be swapped as well. Leave them connected to the brakes and disconnect at the E-brake handle. I can't tell you how long it took me as I did it when I replaced all the running gear on my Impreza. I do not like Subaru drum brakes. Even when adjusted correctly they do not work real well. Every Subaru I own has had the swap if they didn't have rear discs already.

Opinions differ in this subject. VLSD's are useless offroad. LSD's do just what they are intended to do. They give traction at low speeds but break loose under heavy bind to eliminate and/or reduce breakage. Most people make this mistake when installing them. They expect them to stay engaged no matter what. The comparison between lockers of any type and LSD's is comparing apples to oranges. None to be had really. The only truely positive tracion device for a Subaru will be welding. This option will break more parts than any other. The hand throttle is used by many true crawlers and others as well. It gives better control of the vehicle in risky situations. If you haven't needed it you probably haven't been in a bad situation that needed extra control of your vehicle. I have been in a few situations that a hand throttle might have made it easier to get through or out of. The other thing to keep in mind is that everyones idea of off-roading is different. Some think a forest service road at high speed is 4Xing. Others think hill climbs and mud bogs are the only thing to do. Not many rigs here are built to do it all. I still sport a dent from someone who thought they could take an inferior vehicle through the same thing as my Brat. Ended up having to pull them out with a fried clutch and soaked interior.

I agree to a point. The reasons that people keep dumping them are numerous. First and foremost is that there is not any aftermarket support and there won't be any for a discontiued motor that is 20+ yrs old. There is more power to be had, but at what expense?
-
Right, and the EA81/82 turbo's share the same up-pipe but different dp's. Keep working toward guru status CF!
-
I am not sure who told you they were the same. You should check/ask for references next time you get advice from the internet. I have built a coulpe custom up-pipes for people to accomodate the newer turbo's.

Bushing upgrades?

How about a brand or vendor that sells the kits. Thanks Josh!! -

We ran the Impreza both times. Data entry showed him in the OBS. Surprise? Probably not a surprise. It will be fun for sure!! -

The website is still going to be available. The deal is that Jason will no longer be running it. It will be run by another dealership. Jason has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they have the best pricing. By using the toll free number you will still get the same low prices and excellent service but you just won't be able to order online through the site and deal with Jason. It was an agreement that went down a while ago, that this other dealer would get the website eventually anyway. If we continue to use Jason they will be able to show that they have enough traffic to start up their own site again in the future.

All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This car is fun and fast. Perfect power 6 and a beautiful cat-back exhaust were the finishing touches.

Put me down for two personalized. I'll call with the details. -
Cool. I didn't have trouble with the bolts when I did the brakes. I had previously installed a sway bar and had all the fun I wanted with them then. Note on bleeding the brakes. When you are by yourself do a gravity bleed and it will get most of the air out. Not all of it but enough to drive it, carefully.
-
I didn't change the proportioning valve. I was told by a couple of Subaru techs with many more years of experience than me that it wasn't neccessary. I don't notice any drag. Ask them why it would drag. I mean the brakes have to do the same thing either way. Push the pedal the shoes/pads apply. Release the pedal and the pads/shoes release. Am I missing something?

I should have been a little more informative. I have an Impreza Brighton so all Impreza bars bolt right in.
