JUst did a compression test for the first time after the engine was rebuild year and a half ago. Now that it has 2g head instead of Hyundai head it dropped 20 psi a cylinder. Either way, its holding 200psi across the board.
yeah bro, i was workin my ass off on this one. If it wasnt for the finding valve spring compressor and cleaning the head delays, I would have done it in a day. But Im happy shes running again.Quote:

MKO, looking really good man.
Look at this Addco sway bar fitting the AWD subframe......man Im so excited,,,,its got no clearance issues. It definitely fits better that it does on the FWD subframe.

And of course there's always a problem. It looks like my rear coilover shock is leaking.

i see a GVR4
That's the one I want then and
Dayum mko you got a car lot
Looks good. I pulled all of my carpet and installed household 3/8" foam carpet pad. Helped to quiet road and exhaust noise dramatically. Not to mention its cheap and fairly lightweight. The factory carpet went right back into place as if I didn't change a thing.
That outback looks identical to mine. Mines a 2.2 5 speed with the leather interior.
Subaru makes great cars. Very easy to work on.
Started working on the front end. Dont have recent pics, but 80% of it is finished.

Got the driveshaft back from the shop and it looks very nice. It totaled $175 for shorting the front piece and replacing the middle piece tube. As I was leaving my starter got weird and I couldnt start the car. I got one from advanced auto for $70 and I hope it holds up.
Did you pop start it or something to get it started?What was it doing just cranking really slow?Maybe the ground for it got loose or something.
At first It dragged and I thought my battery died so I went and bought new battery. When that didnt fix the problem, I was like let me tab on the starter and then it did nothing when i tried to start it. Luckily my friend got there and we did a bumper to bumper push and I roll started the engine so I can get home. yeah it was fun.
how thick is your rear swaybar?
project is comin along nicely mate
I cant mount the driveshaft for some reason.....upsetting
Its 22mm Addco sway bar.Quote:
