    custom mounting seats

    My dad has a western star rig, two seats with a color so close to my subes interior it is startling (even tha pattern fits- one would have to get up close) he showed me two new seats he bought and said I could have his old ones. I checked the bottoms, nothing to them to prep for the suby rails...

    CB Radio?

    they do make other cbs. double din would look nice one radio, one cb, flush faced. or even smaller cb, and faceplate the extra room.

    Any ideas as to what caused this?

    a ground met its match. my own old one is making me nervous. it will happen at low speed too.. its like a to B becoming ..a to halfway b to halfway.. no end or beginning. 15 below to 40 above is not helping. resonant freaking earthquake. my 8cyls died to this btw, northern maine thing...

    156mph in 1000ft

    incredible. I remember last years vid, glad they topped it for themselves. my own stopped at 114, also in the 1000ft range. I was introduced to that stuff, somehow being known as a fast car nut... I must agree, to this day, not much takes off faster than a sled done up right. can even jump a...

    Using cats to set up your car.

    clever... comparing to an animal may have brought independent suspension and all its trials with cv joints in the first place. one thing not mentioned...stiffness of a cat does not keep its feet, it is the freaky dynamics, that not only keep us glued to watching the stunts, the little bugger...

    Ugh. Power Steering

    I still can't get away from a direct fan on the pump.. the aerate symptoms, you have them... the demand is exceeding the fluid ability. add cool air going at it, watch and laugh at what is suddenly not needed. winter does static, as well as eveything stiffens. can't have neither.. funny...

    Wheel Spacers.... *cringe*

    all that looks good, but if you change the distance of inside wheel edge away from its normal load... well, you learn it on your own. one could also go for a wider section width for said rim width, like a six gets a 8.5-9 on the tire squish, a 9 could go ten easy.. it looks like a fat sidewall...

    2010 STI CS400

    no doubt, not to mention... that is enough to machine say a porsche flat six in the front of a sube, or other "crazy" idea. cosworth stepped in for the crazy weak crank EJ, and it is almost over. I hope I don't here mention of cosworth on the FB engine. gaining parts as the weirdo fades away...

    Got a cool new tool for the shop today!

    handy. bet it does nice work. I put arches on an 87 sube, then peugeot wheels...and the tires were too fat. barely rubbed. I tried smacking the edge with a hammer. I welded up the rockers and wheels wells..holy cow. now they fit with 3/4 on each side. I widened the whole car welding the rear...

    2.5 NA thinking of a supercharging....need imput and advice

    x3. learn from any engine that has done it... and the lack of mention of adding gigantic oil pumping is bewildering. kinda like the bodies.. that too never gets mentioned. wait for the bent block and kink in the tunnel..and still nobody stays truthful for a worldwide internet post worth any...

    steel belted sidewalls

    I may have bad hakkas.. the way they destroyed is just way out there, never seen it before. All four of them... be cool as heck if they had LT ratings for performance tires.. lol. I am targetting some tires that came on an outback, this might do the trick. stuck at 4800 rpm it still outdoes I...

    steel belted sidewalls

    curious as to anyone knows this off the top of their head.. steel belted sidewalls, low profile for subaru 15 inch or just a brand that does steel. I have a serious demise to a pupular tire called hakka somethings, absolutely embarrassing POS crap tires by the time my ten geared sube got done...

    pastrana bored of turning left already?

    probably getting paid for something.. if nascar is boring, you have never done over 90mph. continue sit back in your overbreathing four banger and snappy twack though the trees with a bad speedometer. 4000 pounds at 130 is hair raising enough..the real 130, and the real 4000 pounds holding...

    The Official Craigslist Thread

    this is a regular old subaru..(there is no such thing) what caught my eye was the dl solid bench seat (the back end is tougher than a sedan) this sane design is the only subaru I had to pop a belly.. the back end was tougher than the front as a wagon. the only real difference I remember is...

    Painted lids and grille

    heat gun works even on plastic covers on bumpers. 185 for paint must have been the real thing..and you'll know after one season if you have the real thing. ..and take a heat gun to the bits you painted, can do it anytime within first years of it..about 140F, 20 minutes or so...another world of...

    The Official Craigslist Thread

    the ea used to bust them up like my GL.. WTF would someone who knew the chassis buy that..for that price? I found a 2 door a few years ago, I am glad I stuck to the wagon chassis. the ampitheatre hatch, strange glass heavier than the whole back end swaying it like a crowd pleaser...hardly a...

    Have nothing to do tonight?

    great vid, the narrator is well known for his other narrations as well..all car related. I still am disturbed over the altering of subaru and porsche history..and audi is an even bigger jerk in this vid than some of the others. they did not pioneer anything. where is the 80s saab anyway? ya...

    Axles Axles Axles

    don't the pointed indents on axles mean gear puller point to insert into it? I got an 8 inch one just for this... the tighter those are, the better...unless you find bearings are too hot. bear with it patiently, must be worth it..
