That really is a good looking car. I wonder if its ironwood. I've worked on some truck beds that were decked with it and it will dull drill bits.

We should talk. I could beef up a crossmember. Or make one similar to whats commercially available. John is as interesting guy. Very opinionated. I've had some (long) interesting conversations with him, mostly about Ford, Merkur, and Cosworth stuff. But also about him hanging up his hat on building ...

Who are you gonna have tune her?
Any idea what that bracket in the trans is for?
Let me know if you need any welding/fabrication done on that exhaust. Or anything else, really.

Any changes?

I've been experiencing a similar issue with bucking/missing but only under positive manifold pressure. I figured it was merely the original knock sensor, so I picked one up from RockAuto, but it didn't solve the issue. So I checked the plugs and it must have been a while since I last replaced them b...

Cool. Good to meet another local member. I guess I was too amazed to see another BJ to get a good look at the color.

I understand about having to dodge the weather. I can get downright frustrating.
I've wondered about using a steering quickener, myself. Would you mount it at the rack?
Too bad about JV, hope he's not losing his edge. He was at least very knowledgeable about suspension at one time.

Good hear from someone who's actually done it.

Saw a winestone (i think) facelift touring wagon about a week ago on Case rd. in Tumwater. Driver and I exchanged nods.

Lots of work ahead. A lightweight flywheel is a good thing.
Re the alignment: have you considered adjustable upper mounts? Strange that the JVABs are so out. Have you consulted John about it? His workmanship is usually very good.

Do you think those slugs are going to hold up to the crazy boost you like to run?

I'm interested. Where is it/are you located?

Still interested in a 1.5din pocket.

Good to hear you're doing well.

It handles well (with the help of WRX front and Whiteline rear swaybars) but the springs are a bit much for the dampers. I might pick up a set of AGX for them.

Finally fixed the saggy butt:



j/k, this was halfway through taking the Outback suspension off.

Looking good! Those shiny parts sure are purdy. Did you have to file the rings at all?
Are you sure you want a 4.44? Have you ridden in Kimo's?

Pretty car, and nice photography.

You know where I live.

This is awesome! Our wife's cars near identical. Yours is much cooler, though.

Looks good!
^+1. A couple of mandrel bends from Columbia River Mandrel, or other online retailer, are pretty cheap. A guy can do a full system with just a couple of U-bends.

Eibach are reproducing prodrive p1 springs anyone fit p1 springs in legacy? With Kyb excel g struts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I did those on my 92 Legacy SS, it has "ass sag" like you expect. They are now on my RS. On it, the Ride height is like stock, with 2004 STI struts. Hand...

Looking good, Mike.

And you managed to keep her immaculately clean the entire time!?
Beautiful car and amazing scenery. Sounds like a blast.

Awesome!
