I wish my attention span was long enough to stick around on the chat but I get distracted by shiny things...
-
oh geeze, when I started reading that I thought the project was done for... so I was very relieved that everything worked out in the end... I'm waiting to see some action shots...
-
locking hubs on a subaru?! that's gotta be blasphemous somehow... but that is some pretty good flex...
-
try here first then come back and ask more detailed questions: Frequently Asked Questions: Tires Wheels Lift Kits Mods for offroading Soobs. (:
-
wow, you got stuck good... nice bowl action pic... now plan some local events on a weekend so I can go! but wait until I get some spare tires... (:
-
same here... you want to keep at least the stock ones on the auto-switch... you could wire aux ones to a switch... but I like the idea of maybe have some low aux ones and the stocks on the auto-switch and then some high ones on a manual switch... an override to turn them all on would be nice as well, for when you're coasting back down a hill, but that'd just be extra work for something you won't use much...
-
I agree, it's awesome! I'd buy a sticker...
-
I like the way it looks without the doors and fenders... more of a buggy...
-
just saw this... not subaru, but... we could use a few good amphibious vehicles to get the engineers thinking again...
-
same here, but in order to avoid chasing fumes I was thinking maybe it should actually got to a filter or something and then return the actual liquid to the tank... I have bad mileage and a gas smell so I'm wondering if it's my atmosphere vent or a leak...
-
what if you tore out the charcoal canister with the rest of the emissions junk? then where does the vent go?
-
I was expecting an STi powered Justy... but it's still cool... but it needs something that says Subaru when you look at it... if even just some graphics...

Subaru Gains Guinness World Record Title with Latest Parade of Cars
Spiffy replied to '84 Flat-Four's topic in Off Road
I see a red 360 van! cool! but why illinois? it's in the rust belt so there aren't going to be a lot of subarus in that area... they really should have used the northwest for this... and yeah, just the USMB alone could probably organize that many cars in a parade... -
so how tough is it to remove the defrost vent (driver's side) from the dash? can I just remove the instrument cluster to reach it? or does the window or entire dash have to come out? mine is warped and restricts the air flow right where I need to see... want to replace it with a good one but don't want to tear the entire dash out... and I want to do it before it gets wet out...
-
good idea, and raise it up a little so the passengers get a good view...
-
leave it as a 4-seater... and leave just enough in the back to hang mud flaps and a bumper...
-
awesome skid marks... can really see you going over the edge... must have been a scary ride... I've been in plenty of wrecks, but never flipped over...
-
yikes! the ecu is on the floor? sheesh, what a bad idea...
-
welcome! I think '82 is the best year for the old gen... you'll find plenty of resources here to help keep the brat in good running condition...
-
I have one 14" alloy that's different than the other seven... I don't know about the offset but the depth of the lug holes is shallower than the other seven... I'll probably sell that one since it doesn't match... I don't remember it sticking out further than the other one but I can do some measuring when I remember...

Krylon rims, opinions welcomed

black with the red bead... -
you mean so you can have 2-lo/2-hi/4-lo/4-hi combos? here... Twin Stick D/R EA81/EA82 (Seperate Lo Range from the 4wd stick = LO Range FWD) http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=71289

electric cooling fan strangness
Spiffy replied to Niku-Sama's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I think there's one for each fan... behind the strut tower on the passenger side... little black jobbers... -
thanks for the clarification on that... I mean, I know you need a good snorkel in addition to other things for water crossings... I was thinking I wouldn't benefit from a snorkel because I don't plan on water crossings, but after reading your post it seems like a good idea for my off-roader... here's SubaruJunkie stalled mid-stream... he hit it too fast and flooded the disty...
