jboymechanic Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Not at all Tom, I know some people are weird about posting their license plate number, but there's nothing any body can do with them. Hoping to make the trip to Cambridge this Saturday to go to "Subaru Heaven" for more parts, want to find some better door panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLoyale Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Alright sounds good, You will have to get an alignment afterwards since you can't go with (The clean threads on the tie-rod) since everything is gonna be new. New BJs are a must, I'm running MOOG in mine and wow what a difference. Either way any brand will feel good. Yeah I'll roll with you out to Cambridge this weekend.

TheLoyale Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 where'd you order the steering rack from? You can get it on Rockauto last time I checked. Jon, I might convoy out to the yard with you instead of riding shotgun. I figure if Mike sees my car he'll know who I am. Other wise he might just be an rump roast. You gonna take hy18 to hy12? I know you can take 94 there, but it seems like a PITA cause then you'd have to come down and whatnot. Other way is pretty much a straight shot.

jboymechanic Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Turns out I won't be able to make it out there this weekend, so now I'm planning on Saturday, August 14th. If any one wants to meet me at my house, I plan on leaving by 8:30 or 9:00 AM at the latest, want to get out there before it gets too hot. I plan on taking Highway 20 west (I can show off that other junk yard west of East Troy that has some old Subarus) to Highway 12 near Whitewater. It's an easy and pleasant drive that I've made many times between Waterford and Madison when I was in school there. BTW, I ordered all the parts I needed through partsgeek.com.

TheLoyale Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Cool alright, yeah whenever works for me - I never have an planed things going on for the most part, unless I'm doing something for Fox. Yeah Rockauto has one from Beck/Arnley for about $303. How much did you pay may I ask? Cheers!

jboymechanic Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 I now have everything I need to make the car road ready. New axles, steering rack, ball joints, and tie rod ends. I also have good used inner fenders, interior door panels, WWF tank w/ pump on their way along with a 2" lift from SJR. Now that the car has been driven a few times, the temp is right where it should be (about 1/3 up the gauge). I'm out of town this weekned and planning a trip to Subaru Heaven on Saturday August 14th. Any body else in? I can haul parts/people in my dad's '98 Ram quad cab. I'm still looking for a set of four hubs and maybe some other small parts. Any one want to have a ball installing all this stuff on my car with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 You know I'll be there to help ya, we could get all that stuff done in one day. Whats going on with the Trans crossmember? Were you able to find a MT crossmember? Engine crossmember doesn't change. And there should be no reason anyone would hack it to work. I'm also down will going out there on the 14th. Keep me posted if you need help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboymechanic Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 I did find the correct manual transmission cross members from another USMB member, should be at my house this week! I'm planning on installing the lift and all the other parts in one shot, and one day should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
