    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.

    visionary, 7gs have an F5M31 5 speed and the 2g GSTs have an F5M33, longer and stronger gears is the difference but the 31 is fine.

    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.








    Finally back on all four. Its been long three months.









    Bunch of Subbies and DSMs in the yard.






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






    and some funnies... I found this 420A talon in the junk yard. Someone has tried to fit a flipped Mirage motor in it. I was ROLFing when I saw it. lol

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Looks like they were testing the engine to see if it would swapable. They could have use the newer 4G64 if that what they were after.

    ahh ok, thatd should be fine. if we (vr4 guys in aust) use 27mm bars on the rear, then the rear mount on the arm is usually reinforced. a few guys have torn the mounts from the control arm. 22mm should be ok
