thanks esh i will take you up on that .. for the moment i'm off to the shed to finish making my suby look more like yours :) So, you are installing a lift kit... do you have 14" wheels? I've got some re-drilled set if you're interested. I would give you a hand if my wife didn't give birth yesterday...

yes i'm still around. the engine was a false alarm. a bit of oil in the pcv pipe. fixed it. now all good. give me a call if you want to go for a ride 0438960335

would 15" tyres fit if you force them? or maybe 16"?

why didn't any one tell me there is this stupid 390mm rims? i just got myself 5 off them thinking they where 15". they came with hubs and in great condition but the tyres are not very good. does any one know how hard is it to get 390mm tyres?

of course I changed oil.
cheers for the advise

thanks for the advise. I don't think it's the fan as the temp rose at high speed so there should be enough cooling wind. how can I check for a cloged radiator? and how to replace thermostate?

the car has 190,000 km on it. I bought it from the first owner 20,000 km ago. don't know what it's history but as I said. never had to add one drop of oil or water. how hard is it to change gasket DIY? is that why the car is underpowered?

took my car for a drive on australia day. it was stinking hot. usually the temp gage stand on the 1/3 but with a/c it went up to almost the red. if the a/c was off it went back down again. took it to the mechanic today and he recon it's the head gusket. he said there was carbon deoxide in the radiat...

you are right. I'm going to fill in the holes (weld it) and paint over it. no one is going to notice that. and some day i'll get some proper rims. waiting for a very good bargain.

depends on the color of your car. mine is red and it goes better with black.http://subaruesh.spaces.live.com/photos

yep, re-drilled rims.

after a warning I got from the cops about my off-set I decided I have to put the flares on if I don't want to get a yellow sticker. also trimmed the front fenders. http://subaruesh.spaces.live.com/photos/

have you still got the rims? are your tailgate struts in good condition?

found this link on an Israeli Subaru forum: http://pic.hevre.co.il/UserAlbum.asp?ui ... 95C1&alid=

yes, get them on as soon as you can. I was just pulled over by the cops last week, luckily they where in a good mood and let me go after I promised I'll get some flares the next day. so I went to clark's rubber but they only had the 60 mm ones and they too wide so I ordered the 40 mm. still waiting ...

so did you end up getting flares? can you show pics? I got the same problem with wheels sticking out so I got to do something about it before it'll be too late...I already had one cop having a goood look at my wheels and mine are re-drilled.

hey,
are you sure its your sub? just like mine
looking good. send pic when you got the wheels on. are you going to use the 6 stud rim on the photo? drill the hub?

can't see the difference. in both original and modified the mount is connected to the plate by the one bolt. in the original it's under and in the modified it's above

yes, it's hi-rise. and yes it's a good idea for that block. saves 2 blocks. i think it only works with a 3" lift. you cange the position of the plate from under to on top.
