I know a lot of people who call their four wheelers bikes. Between quad bike, dirt bike, pedal bike, and motorcycle bike it gets confusing lol.

Easy Mr technical it doesn't matter

I like the four wheeler.

I have one about the same size. :)

10 speed dual range, 1985 dual port, coolant channel lined heads (extremely rare)

been 9 years, nickels and dimes.

Does not get driven much..

40+ pounds of mig wire to get it to hold the build.

 

I am actually not a fan of subaru..bought one DL in 1997 to be economical. A lot of parts accrued..

decided to build the ultimate for the generation. Found the 1 year paint code dual range wagon for $500. I quickly learned via an explosive thermite type event on one engine: None can do turbo.

 

So I bought the toughest rarest turbo engine from 1985, and dismantled it to be natural 10.2 to 1 compression.

sodium head choking turbo exhaust valves removed for a lighter weight free flowing.

ported heads only where casting anomoly.

upgraded bolts to double foot pounds for cams.

I also found not a single one of these alloy heads had valve spring seats, and made some from hardened steel.

full hydraulic lift, loyale cams...

rochester 280cfm, msd ignition digital program

 

A comical turning point... adding a double progressive air intake tube like a porsche gt3. it sucks in so much air so fast, it will not proper run without it.

 

This one does not have a quiet moment ever. Antique status protects it.

Funny to think it is hardly worth anything.

A broken frame pickup sells for more.

 

5 main bearings go great with a million mile 305 vortec...subarus past 1989 do not float my boat.

I only like the old stuff.

The Carrera has upgraded turbos and is mostly driven on road course tracks ..... awesome in the slaloms. The Viper on the other hand has too much power and is more fun to take the weekend ride with my wife.

My wife's 2012 V ....... best sedan we've ever owned. Wife says "hands off" so I don't get to modify it .... yet. The day she bought it. Had to visit her folks and give her 70 year old Dad a ride. LOL, that was fun!

My pride & joy the day I picked her up from the dealer.

Been trying to sell her for a few months, but the market is really slow. I may just end up keeping her. Really fun car to drive.

The E46 .......... back when the car was built "around" the driver ........ now the driver has to learn the car. Ugh

Beautiful ride! GLWS

    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
    • 286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
