    passing in a passing zone is now illegal in Maine

    I don't know all the details, but I belive (I'd have to check in my 29A to verify) that it's illeagle to pass multible vehicals at the same time. Not that I don't do it myself, lol, and not that the guy wasn't a jerk, but that may have been why he could get away with it.

    1.8 to 2.5 NA

    Thanks, I would prefer a new shiny 2.5, however a few things leave me with the older ones. First they are cheaper, secondly I think it'll be less work putting it in, and finally, I'm planing on turning it into a "2.5 RS" for autocross purpuses. Which means that I have to use the same engine that...

    1.8 to 2.5 NA

    Alright, I know I've asked these questions before, however: largely from Seth I have a good idea how to do the 1.8 to 2.5 swap, it looks like I have a 2.5 from the same year as the 1996 brighton (Gabes old car). A few basic questions: is there a problem with going from the 1.8 SOHC to the 2.5...

    2.2L block /w 1.8L heads questions

    hey all, I recantly grabed a 2.2L block out of a 92 Leggy for cheap, it's in awsome shape, but rather than finding some 2.2L heads, I was thinking of using my 1.8L setup with the bigger block. A bunch of questions I have though 1. reliability...I realize that this setup bumps the compression...

    1.8-2.2 swap continued

    just for verification purpuses, myghtysubie has a 2.2 in a 1990 or 1992 legasy (we have to check the year), are there any issues putting that engine in my 1.8 impreza hatch? (I know the newer 2.2's had no issues being swapped, just making sure the older ones will work too). Thanks guys!
