holy crap! where did you get swampers for under 100 bucks each???? hook me up mine was about equal... impreza= $395+tax/reg 215/75 R15 BFG A/Ts @ 110 ea mounted (approx)

soudns like fun.. although, for me- i will be leaving at the beginning of june..... so in may, or anytime from now, i will need to clear out all my old subaru parts and other misc things... chux- i think I have a few things for you- we will need to chat about them would anyone like to do the bbq in excelsior at the beach? its a pretty nice park random weekends this month?

this year i think I will be towing my cargo trailer to the show, with the imp.. so I will have lots of room for parts for sale, or parts bought.. or camping gear/food/cooking supplys or.. whatever! and Jibs.. ya gotta be at the show... its gonna be a party!!!! and whats a party without you? ps.. I am packing soon to head back to Seattle... heading out of here in June

my impreza (with snorkel) DID float.... with some more mods.. I am going to see about making it float for a longer duration as for the electronics and carb stuff in a brat, it is a bit complicated to seal up... disty, carb intake and coil... not too much to worry about!

yep.. fried it I bet..Ive heard storys exactly like this from some subaru mechanics.. running with mis-matched tires, or in your case a low tire.. (aka, one tire has a different circumference) would do something along the lines of "welding" the vc up.. in a way... better than breaking it, and causing a no-wheel-drive situation though! sounds like its time to upgrade the tranny now! (dual range? )

I will be passing thru montana sometime between june 25 and july 5th (passing by 2 times once heading east, then back west) plans are not locked in, but it will happen around then for sure... I will post again when i get some dates set

dont the baja's still use the 00-04 OBW style dash and stereo cluster? (aka, double-din size replaceable head units ) I think it does....

spy pics from yesterday.... :cool:

so i was browsing the local junkyard with John yesterday, and we came across many subarus..but one that looked particularly nice (except for the drivers side front) was a 96 OBS... with some aftermarket leather seats!!!(and a rear cargo mat+clean OEM floormats) so.... I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking remove old.... install new.... mmmm...that new-used car smell

the temp guage and oil pressure are pretty easy...the EJs sender works with the dash in the EA (with slight changes...) if you can find a threaded adaptor with an angle or something to get the EA pressure sender onto the EJ sender fitting, then your set... (its under the alternator on the EJ22) as for the temp sender.. on my EJ swap it seemed to be offset..(it still read, it just read cold?) but it works, or you could just install your EA sensor into the EJ water manifold... the tach is something different though.. on the EA car it runs off the disty, so you would need to make a pickup sensor or something and attach it to plug wire 1 (like a sensor in a timing gun/light) ...or get the aftermarket tach thats larger than your dash cluster

if you have pictures uploaded to another site, copy the image location (the http://blahblahblah.address) and put it between the img brackets- like this, but without the spaces example= [ img] http:// image host.com/ my picture [ /img]

I would be there... but you will have to wait till july! (planning for it then )

ok... heres the info to help stop confusion EJ18= dual port exhaust, phase1 1990-1995 EJ22= dual port heads, phase 1, clearance valves= most compatible with Ej18 swap cause intake/exhaust, and most other parts will interchange 1996-97 EJ22 single port exhaust... (will need different exhaust for EJ18 swap) 1998-99 EJ22 = phase 2 (single port exhaust?) interference valves so.....try to use the 90-95 engine.. they actually LOOK the same on the outside... cause they use all the same external parts (tbelt parts, valve covers, oil pan,ect...) i am not 100% sure on the above data, but this is what I have seen so far when working with all these above engines :cool:

some new pics from today..... (I got a new wider-angle lense for my camera too) and we got more snow this week too....

i feel like this is pretty RS only I may be able to show up.. in the GF... the lifted one :cool: what about the lifted/ old gen subaru guys?

well, you asked for it! although, still working on that lift kit.. and most of the pics I have are with the old tires too this one is the most recent- with the new tires and bumper this one is when I tested the snorkel!! this is when I got a little high centered... hopefully this will be harder to do when I get lifted, and also now that I have new tires testing the tipping angle.... look at the rear tire

as long as the wagon is ready for action, I should be too!

actually, I never put the car in reverse when I entered the parking lot... and there was no scrapage from the underside either! some of the peoples reactions when i pulled in over the curb were pretty funny ---like this----> :eek:

each weekend (fri/or sat nights) in St.Paul, at the firestone on university ave.... the mnsubaru crew get together to hang out for a few hours... this fri they had some guy doing "car enthusiasts" interviews for some video he was making... so there were more people there than usual, and the guy brought us pizza (the bait!) it was a good time, even though it was only 27 degs outside.... pizzas on the hood of my wagon... the garbage goes on top of wagon... keeping the leftovers warm for the late comers... in the wagon... curb-climb..once again some of the cars... and i managed to sell the yellow forester wheels too! did ya notice the new ones?

dude that sounds like a sweet job! (for the pay) whats the position again? do they by any chance have tuition assistance?

there are 2 big bolts thru the tow hooks, and then at the end of the bars underneath... there are some loops that hook into the bolts that used to hold the sway bar on I have pushed a couple cars with it, and the imps been towed up a hill with a winch (it was almost pulling the huge truck down the hill with it!) it is pretty tough... although, I am considering removing it...

hey! I remember that day! yeah.. door seals were good on that car! no water came in could definatly use a snorkel though... water flooding the carb+disty was about the only reason i didnt make it out... (tires could have been better too)

well, almost literally- frozen water! too bad the snow was too thick on the top of it to do good drifting though anyone else have any ice pictures? well.. ice in a big way?

update- heres the new bumper paint, and new turn signals :cool:

are you sure it was lifted? i have seen a few of them drive around, look like they are lifted, and it turned out, to be someone who just had their air ride "fixed" in the up position they look extra tall then!
