and may I ask about the rims ? What are they off and what size tyre are you running on them ? They look like a more modern era rim with all those air vent holes, yet still 4 stud - still 4x140 PCD ????

More like "What did I do "FOR" my Subaru.

 

Went and got a credit line for $2,000.00.

 

Ordered enough parts/pieces to do a total rebuild of an engine, minus what shop work will cost for things I can't do here myself.

 

This had better get the '88 Wagon back to a daily driver status.

 

 

Sssshhhhh..... Don't let the Wife know I did this. I won't see my next birthday. :(

I don't think it will be that desperate, More like you will be sleeping in the Wagon. Sure beats the doghouse though no fleas.

I set the ball joint back into the arm and pushed the 1/4 axle back in.  The long wait is almost up!  On Thursday I will be replacing the ball joints the struts the brakes and the cv's.  I will be derusting and layering truck bed liner in the wheel wells.  I might even get to finish ripping out my dashboard :P

Started my wagon up tonight! So stoked that it fired up. Gave it 2 winds on a dead battery, put the one in from my sedan and it jumped to life straight away. The to-do list got a little bit smaller. Horrible whine coming from somewhere (probably gearbox !@#$%^) but I'll get the cooling system plumped up and the alternator and dash wired in then try and fix that.

That's a carbed one is it not? Where'd you import that from?

no regionally it was a Multi port fuel injected 1.8 liter 4WD turbo

5speed hi low lsd did not have to import it, it was originally purchased out of Yakima Washington

I am the second owner of the car I purchased it from the original owner about a year and a half ago

with a blown head gasket and a bad turbo

put a new motor in it new turbo it was fun but not real fun so I decided to go with the EJ 2.2 liter best decision I've ever made

What I've done to my Subie, Lately? ... This:

 


 

These are the Blank mini center Caps and the Silicone Stickers as they came on the Mail:

 

Mini%20Center%20Caps%2001%20-%20Just%20R

 

 

This is one of the Blank mini center caps, it has emblazoned the Measurements:

 

Mini%20Center%20Caps%2002%20-%20Perfect%

 

 

I tested them on the Nissan Wheels:

 

Mini%20Center%20Caps%2003%20-%20Testing%

 

 

The Blank Mini Center caps, fits Perfectly!!!

 

Mini%20Center%20Caps%2004%20-%20Perfect%

 

 

Here I am glueing the Silicone Subaru Logo to the Blank mini center Cap:

 

Mini%20Center%20Caps%2005%20-%20Sticking

 

 

This are the Results:

 

Mini%20Center%20Caps%2006%20-%20Decal%20

 

 

 

Mini%20Center%20Caps%2007%20-%20Complete

 

 

Absolutely Perfect Fitment!!!
