OK, can you help me understand this: the larger injector in cyl 4 is there to cool down that cylinder a bit because it naturally runs hotter than the other three cylinders, correct? Apparently with the MS, that cylinder runs slightly lean (not enough fuel). Running lean will cause the temp to go up...

I've done a little bit of reading about stroking the 2.2 with either the .20 overbore or .40 overbore pistons and I came to the conclusion that it just doesn't make sense unless the cylinders need to be bored to make the block usable, you want a stroker to make your car unique, or you have compatibl...

Get a used transmission (and diff if necessary) and swap it in.

Anyone running one of these at elevation? I'm at ~5000ft. I think I'm going to get the stage 2 chip and run that with my turbo and injectors for a while, should keep me happy while I finalized my plans for swapping the heads.

You'll need a full rotated turbo kit to make it work ( EWG, uppipe, downpipe, etc). Definitely won't fit in the stock location.

A GT35r is pretty damn big for a 2.2, I don't think it would be very drivable.

Not only that but it's slow as fuck for anything that uses a lot of javascript.

And with FireFox you can use Adblock Plus. I don't think I've seen a banner ad in about 3 years.

If you decide to split things up I think you'd have some luck. Most folks here don't need the short block.

Have you considered buying new carpet and cutting it to fit? That's what I would do, rather than put in 15 year old carpet.

Good stuff!

Sending something fast is a GOOD thing. If you sent him money without doing your homework, that's on you.

And in Colorado, you'd get 5k easily. Just saying.

Are you all gen x'ers? Sorry, I just think most of this sounds like tired cynicism. We have it pretty damn good in this modern age compared to 100 or 200 years ago and all I hear is complaining. Yes, we have some problems. I'll take the perils of Wal-Mart over dying from dysentery. Good luck with yo...

Go read all the threads in the sticky at the top of the suspension forum and you'll get a pretty good idea of what's what. It'll make your head spin with all the info, but it's fairly comprehensive.

Holy crap. That's beautiful.

It's possible that the bearings in the motor are seized and are preventing you from cranking it. I think this is more likely than it being corroded since your car seems to be in decent shape, and if a kid was playing with the buttons or blocking it from closing it wouldn't be hard to stress that mot...

I like it, except for the reverse lights

I need the popup deflector from the sunroof. Specifically I need the passenger side leaf spring thing that sits inside the rail for the glass and pushes the popup deflector up. I've checked two parts cars locally and it's been broken/missing. Let me know if you've got one.

I'm with you. I always throw an extra wheel or something under there for good measure.

Car is looking much better!

Can you put a cat on for the test? The main point of a cat is to reduce hydrocarbon emissions.

just put an 8 ball on your steering wheel!!!! i drove a stock ford taurus the other day with a ball on the steering wheel... holy shit was it ever fun. you only need one hand to steer so the other can be workin the handbrake or setting the radio or holdin a drink. and it doesnt make you steering fa...

Very nice car, welcome. I'm so jealous of the EDM trunk lid and it's lack of the giant ugly garnish.

The "bad" motor runs but has slightly lower compression on two of the cylinders (previous owner said it had a bad head gasket). My crazy plan is to put it in the back seat of a chopped top VW Bug using a 2WD subaru tranny and have the radiator where the original bug engine was. So once it...

Looks like an ADM steering wheel, probably came stock on some models down there. You can find similar ones on eBay, search for JDM Subaru steering wheel and you'll find momo and nardi ones.

Did you ever fix your ground points? http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=40904
