any pictures of the bulge plate over the sender unit...am really thinking about making one out of a road sign for my car but if these look good enough might just splurge and buy one. Any news on the new bumpers?

any pics of the new bumpers yet and prices on the skids? really want 5 wheels but couldn't possibly spent more than $200 on some wheels so quite a bit over y budget.

how fast have you ran yours calebz?

yeah...insanity...thats what im going for....even if over the course of a couple years I end up spening about as much as it would cost to just buy like an outback sport or imp or something with just as much power.....will still be spread out more and the end result will be pretty head-turning. I remember someone saying why would you want to do this.........well why did anyone ever want to stop walking everywhere and eventually invent cars and such..cause they wanted to friggin go faster, and most of all...be different. I figure if in the end my 87 originally carbed subaru dreaming of 100hp tears up the trails around 250-300hp I will have a big friggin smile on my face...probably dream about it every night....and get a grin on my face every time some little civic or mustang or whatever pulls up next to me and I leave them in my dust.........really seems worth it to me. *shrugs*

k keep searching and let me know....trying to start planning...have been looking into EJ25T but cant seem to find anyone that has swapped one into an EA82....really think that will be the best route to go to blow everyone away eventually.

So what is the fastest EA82 vehicle there has ever been...engine swaps...mods....whos heard of one with the most horsepower? Am also curious if anyone has ever researched into the possibility of swapping a 2000 series turbo'd motor into an 87 4wd....was thinking about doing an EJ swap in the fairly near future but why take the time and money for a little 130-145 HP motor when with a bit of extra cash and a deal more time...can get a good start at around 200hp or more. any suggestions, ideas?

k well today is the 15th....your a pretty shady guy shady.

k...look forward to lots of detailed pics...and I just like modding things for the fun of it right now...will eventually get serious about performance and such.

so noone knows what to do with all of the vacuum lines to get rid of the stock air box? was hoping to do that tomorrow but need it as a daily driver so will have to finish the task.

lol....seems I got started something to get everyone all stirred up and thinking hard...even though its not completely about the subject or anything. Anyways, can anyone write up a how to for removing the stock airbox and explain what to do with all of the vacuum lines and hoses and such? would like to do that some time this next week but have looked through my chiltons and its not really much help with this sort of thing.

well theoretically an increase in colder air does make an engine run more efficiently but with that increase of air you are also changing the ratio of air to fuel...to really achieve much of a noticeable difference you would also have to upgrade your fuel delivery system to compensate for the larger amount of air and even out your air/fuel ratio....and also upgrade your exhaust system.....*shrugs*.....it might just be a bit ricey when its done...but eventually it will help a little in performance and it helps dress up and fill out my engine bay....so much space to fill.

oh and I got the filter from http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8006953413&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 ......and I think my spare tire looks nice on my roof rack...and can get to things more easily in my engine bay without that full size spare under there.

Thanks a whole lot for all of the comments...really appreciate it. Thought it out for a while and had planed on eventually connecting it directly to the carb if someone can walk me through how to do it...preferably with lots of pictures explaining how to hook up all of the vacuum hoses and re-route all of the lines and such, also do plan on building some sort of cone or box around the air filter allowing the air that will be entering through the scoop to go directly into the filter...unless what BobBrumby said is true and then I will just hook the stock air breather back up and stick the filter on my desk. This guy I know is opening up a customs shop and has some big plans for the future so might eventually see some big happenings with my ride within the next couple of years...right now im just having fun and playing around.

dont understand what point? It will end up basically being somewhat of a short ram air intake...get a whole lot more air into the system...eventually get a weber and good exhaust and hopefully a nice little boost in power...also a nice spot to help keep water and such out...not much of a car swimmer myself...dont plan on going up to the windows or anything so figure this will do a nice job. already had the PVC, fittings were $2 and got the nifty filter for $14...so after I sand and paint it I think it will look pretty good.... and might just possibly eventually help produce a bit more power.

here is what i have so far...and a couple of future plan pics (red box on the inside of the hood is where I will probably cut it out.) any suggestions?

....saw your ad in subie sport...pretty nifty.....its the 7th....any news?

AWESOME....see... being stupid and asking questions paid off....thanks a whole bunch for dealing with all of my stupidity everyone....I really really appreciate it.

hmmm.....faily far from a subaru dealership...will see what I can find. heres a pic of my belts... ... they run the same path. Can I not just loosen the alternator bolt, slide it down and pul the belts off and put the new ones on and time it?

thanks much everyone, whers the best place to get the oem belts at?

Really need to change my belts:banghead: ....first....what are the best belts to get and where? is it okay to get them from oreillys or autozone? whats the best way to change them out? I was looking through my chiltons and says that on my carbed 87 GL wagon the timing numbers/marks should be on my flywheel? it says there is a piece that covers it...no piece there, guess the cover was gone a long time ago......dont see any sort of markings anywhere... how do I change the belts and time it if I have no marks:confused: ? Sorry for the noob crap...still in automotive classes...havn't gotten around to this stuff yet. THANKS A MILLION FOR ALL OF THE HELP!!!!!!!!!!.

okies

anything yet?? ...am so very impatient

when rigging up traps and such....like razorblades....you could get into trouble when someone tries to steal it and gets hurt....unless of course you get a sticker or somewhere on the vehicle not a release of liability....like get a sticker mad to put above the deck saying something like....not liable for extreme bodily harm to anyone handaling any components of this vehicle without permission from the owner. I have also like what one of my friends dad did...he just made sure he stuck plenty of large NRA stickers in plain view on his vehicle and stuck a gunrack on the back and tossed a few empty bullet casings in the floorboards and some empty amoo boxes in the back....kind of turns off a few theives when they know they are stealing from some crazy gun nut (even if you dont even own a single gun)...*shrugs*...just a couple suggestions...personally am going to try and set up one of the movement sensor systems through a pulsing (flashing) switch through my fog lights as well as get one of those orange rotating/flashing lights (like construction crews use), and also even some intereor neons as well. Am also planning on getting a nice air horn set up and maybe try to rig it through there as well... SOMEONE will notice.

am on a break in class right now but will check tomorrow after I get off work but I kn ow both belts run around the alternator pulley...when I loosened the bolt onl the alternator ajustment and pulled the alternator up and tightened it both belts felt tight...but now the rear one has alot of slack again. Will get a tool kit asap but have a $-29 balance right now...get paid on friday though.
