Mugs Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Man that looks absolutely SIC monstaru!! How much ground clearance do you have under your oil pan and rear diff? Also, how close are the tires to the struts? He's at 11.5" at the rear diff, and 10.5" at the exhaust y pipe union, which is the lowest hanging part of the front of the car at this moment. Knowing Brian, I am sure that that "problem" will get solved soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stopped pumping water to the window a while ago. -Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Do you think that had anything to do with the rear window washer fluid? It stopped pumping water to the window a while ago. -Andy it might, except it was all clear instead of blue.there was a large gash in the top of the rubberized material that was holding the taillamp on.about 4.5 inches across the top was letting water in like a funnel. so, with that side sealed up, and a new passenger side lens,all gooped up ready to dry out...i can see what is next.cheers, b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1982gl4 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Your car is beautiful, I love it. I hope my legacy ends up looking this cool eventually. Where did you get those wheel spacers? My brat needs some badly after I added five lug using the xt6 control arms, the rear is a lot narrower then the front now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstaru Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) moar trimming....just finding the absolute least amount of trim available.without a lift beyond struts. silly flexing on my hill... with some more flaring on the fronts, and a little more trimming , and sealing she'll be good for flex regardless if she gets a "lift' or not.. some more rollin can help here... i think i wanna stretch the limits of no blocks further because peeps wanna say you can't.but whatever.i know you can. plenty of flex, maybe even more down travel....we'll see. those links are noisy. damn are they noisy... cheers, b Edited May 16, 2011 by monstaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some of your posts and pix but I've been wondering why you don't want to do a lift... You've squished some meaty mud terrains in there haven't you? Anyhoo, strut top spacers are like $215 shipped, and of course OB struts would be better but also more $$, then there's 2nd gen forester strut assemblies. just curious...

subimonster Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 i have had 28x 8.50 14 super swamper tsls on it no problem but they dont make that tire anymore from what i hear and i want a more street able tire on it and i have gone to a 15" rim now so i would like to run 235 75 15's but my fenders wont clear it in the front. i would normally be all about a bigger lift but i am broke like a joke right now and i am a mechanic not a fab guy so i cant build all the awesome stuff you guys do which is lame i must admit but i figure a little chopping and bending and maybe 1" strut spacers in the front would do it since it is about an inch lower in the front then the back and i already have 98 outback struts on it. any help i can get from more knowledgeable people then i is greatly appreciated.

subimonster Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 i kinda just built this car on a whim because i was tired of seeing lowered versions and noticed my moms outback was taller then mine so i slapped some outback struts on it ordered some super swampers went to work on the fenders a little bit with my cutting wheel and had a buddy weld my rear diff and i have been wheelin the piss out of it for almost four years this way. i am just ready to change it up a little.
