Matt may take offence though. Seems wrong to have two pickles in Washington. Be original.

The original winch is nothing more that a superwinch 1500 painted yellow. With a snatch/block/pulley it will work OK for your Brat Will. Are you adding it to the original bumper? A come-along is a good extra piece of trail gear in case your winch can't pull you all the way out. That being said. I run a Superwinch 4500. It is big and takes up a bit of room when not in use. Mine is set up on a portable mount for front and rear use. I also have pulley set for it and have used it to roll over 'yota's and fullsized Chevy's. Still haven't had to roll over anyone else yet.(knocks on wood) The optimum size winch is around 3500lbs. Most Brats will tip the scales around 1800-1900lbs. Some with heavy mods will weigh ALOT more.

It varies by years somewhat. Ratios vary from 3.90-4.11. Edit; I read the post again. The ratio's I posted are for EJ22T in the USDM Legacy's.

You will pay more because it is considered an oversized pkg. Doesn't really matter who you send it with.

Oil level and possible bad ujoint. Did you know the history of this trans?

Yes

Tapered rear springs for the SS. This means the struts and front springs will fit. I have a complete ver5 STi suspension and white line springs along with camber plates for the front and STi top mounts for the rear. I haven't gotten to the point to verify that the rear springs will or won't fit.

First, go here. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/article.php?c=1 This is the USRM-repair and mod section. The link is located on the top header of the message board. Second, click on suspension. Third, click on rear drum to rear disc conversion.

Stock vs. stock? There is not much comparison. The SS will smoke it power wise. Ride wise it is a tad softer. (But should still hold a corner just fine) Unless the struts have been replaced. Then it may compare favorably. The nice thing about the SS is that there are actually aftermarket parts for it. And the 2.2T is very dependable. And no where as finicky as the EA82T.

What would it cost? Maybe Mason County would be interested? Wildfires are definitely serious business. I hope you have a very quiet summer.

Adapters A few things to consider on this. Price, functionality, feasablity, usablity. Price; While always a consideration can be overcome. Functionality; How will your rig function with a wider stance? How will the bearings hold up to the increased stresses of larger wheels and tires as well as being pushed 1 1/2+" out away from center. Feasability; The 5 lug pattern(5X100) just won't fit into the adapter for 4 lug(4X140) Spacing is all wrong. This is not to say that a different pattern wouldn't work. Usability; I had to use spacers for the Nissan diff on my Brat. I didn't like the idea of 2 1/2" spacers sticking out off of the drums like that. But, I didn't have much of a choice without running two different types(offsets) of wheels. As the wheels go out away from the car the need for larger mudflaps and flares to keep the treads within allowable limits increase the price. Ideally, I think the answer lies in the hub not an adapter. If a "new" hub could be designed and built that would accomodate a different pattern then that would be the best of all worlds. Wheels People have built custom wheels in the past. Bratsrus1(Jerry) has built 2 sets of 14's I believe. Both were a bit on the heavy side. Most manufacturers will add your center to another blank. Cost is an issue here. Starting with blank, unstamped wheels is another option but most wheels don't have a hub opening large enough. Most truck wheels will have a big enough hub opening. Another problem is that most wheel manufactures will not retool to accomodate a 20+ yr old vehicle. There simply isn't enough revenue for them to alter dies and such. I had a long talk with some people at ARB about this type of thing. Bottom line is that manufacturers want to see very large returns on there investments. Making our lives easier really don't factor into the equation. Just a few pros and cons for people to consider. There are viable options on the table already. Tried and true methods. You and others will have to overcome this before others will pay good money for the product. I am not saying don't try it. I am a firm believer that trial and error are the best methods to broaden ones horizons. What I am suggesting is to not limit your thoughts to "old" thinking.

"Sex in or with a Subaru?" Sorry, couldn't resist. Any idea why it does that? How does it get sex out of WCSS7. Am I missing something?

No cap! Isn't that why you started your own business? Work when you want for who you want? lol Seriously though, just tell you boss you are taking the time off.

Ok on this end. Seems to be working alright now. Tex, let me know if I need to do something on this.

You don't have to register. But, the whole idea behind registering is to get the reduced rate. If you don't pay ahead of time you will not get the lower rate.

Did you reconnect the ground wire that connects to the tranny? The 4WD light is as Northguy described. When lifting the levers usually move upwards. This would cause the light to remain on all the time. So, that shouldn't be your problem. Try the ground wire first. Then check the connections. You may have to remove the consoles and pull back the carpet on the passenger side to see the plug for the 4WD indicator switch.

Also, what compound are those? How long will they last and how much did they cost? Not counting the wheels of course. BTW, those should look decent on the RX.

Will, the Miata convertor says that they are 25.7" diameter vs. 23.2" for a stock 185/75R13. What are the manufacturer's specs for diameter?

No, front and rear are different.

Maybe you could give the guy some details to back up your comments! Kind of a vague statement.

Hey, I knew it was you. You may not have the vacuum ported correctly. Or, the vacuum advance may be bad on the new disty.

Pictures are definitely worth a thousand words.

What firing order did you use? It can be done as they are the same mechanically. Just different curves.

That belongs to Len. It is indeed a XT6. He goes by 1sick6 on the XT/6 board. He works at Aaron's auto wrecking( a subaru only wrecking yard) in Seattle. He rebuilt it from the bottom up. It was a basket case when he got it. It is very nice. Bright enough to see from blocks away!

Looks very fast and open. Would definitely be a fun one.
