Haha guys, can you really blame me for being out of the loop latley? I have to keep the new wife happy! Managed to get a ring on her, but as you could imagine there is no shortage of suitors lining up... Have to keep her supported and happy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

On a serious note though, I understand that there are several guys out there in the midst of builds who started planning on me being able to provide the parts to finish. Just to reassure everyone, I am not going to disappear and will be doing whatever I need to to keep the subaru conversion a viable option for people who would have otherwise not been able to do it; whether its getting the doors back open myself or subcontracting the work out, or selling the business to someone I trust can and will do better.

Thanks to those who are ready to buy and have emailed me it makes it much easier for me when I have numbers to work with. Keep it coming!

Regards
Ian

lightning McQueen would say "ka-chow"

the trick for the next 50 years is to hang on to as much of that magic as possible for as long as possible. cause one day, she'll be complaining that the kitchen towel is not where she likes it or left it. I can give you several hundred other examples but this one should suffice : )

anyway, what inventory do you have left. last update was...

Cradles, 3 left
Trans hangers, 1 left
Back plates, 0 left
Spline Coupler, 1 left
Hybrid Axles, 5 left
Urethane Mounts, 15 left

Looks like you've done even better with the wife than you have with conversion parts, so keep up ALL the good work! Thanks Ian.

Well I had a job, and then it went sideways... oh well that's life... I think i may have found a temporary shop solution and will hopefully be able to start on some smaller projects. Will keep everyone updated.

OK guys, I'm taking a trip back to Oregon to move the rest of the shop over and get it set up enough to start production again. Cradle systems are probably up first, but also hope to have a production run of cable shifters out before Christmas. looking forward to some welding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Cool! About time you got off your ass & got to work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) . Seriously though good to hear your getting back to it. Did John get ahold of you there? Been talking to him about a roller. He needs some cage work done. Figured if you are bringing your bender out. Be right up your alley

Yep he got ahold of me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) kind enough to let me set up in his garage for the time being. Kinda like the set up I had back at your place, except 5 minutes not 1.5 hours away!

And on that note, I'm officially back in business. planing on a production run on monday/tuesday of net week; shipping cradles on friday! Just in time for christmas! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Soooo.. been thinking about doing my own conversion & decided for simplicity sake start with a NA conversion.
Question is what motor?
Seems to be a bunch of relatively cheap Legacy & Impreza /4's about.
But what is a better choice the SOHC 2.2 or the DOHC 2.5?

Cool! Well if you have not already, check out my website for a write up of different engine choices. Personally I would stick with SOHC, just for the ease of timing belt swapping cost of upgrading to some delta cams in the future ($30ish per cam).

Do the trailing arms need to be removed to get the axles in place?
