The importer I purchased the ej from has something going for me possibly, but I wont know for sure until months end after they receive a container. My plan is to procede as if I had everything, the last part of my project will be ecu/waic/harness.

No probs my friend :) If you need one later on, I can have one made up ready for you (help from Dave - Subarino) and have if ready to fit in your L :)

Steal thread - these WAIC's do they actualy create much more air volume in the intercooling process? I have avoided intercooling with my LPG due to it being gas vapour that would be pushed through an intercooler , and should another backfire occur .....however WAIC may be the shot as I may need to replace the factory EA82T intercooler device - the allow intake pipe with SUBARU TURBO on it

to answer steptoe.......
if your using the carb set up use a blow though system instead of suck though should be much of a problem i dont think, or use a water cooled intercooler.
if you get a back fire it should puss air/explosion outt hough the wc intercooler (stonger than a2a) and should come out the intake
not that im saying this is good

I installed the front lift yesteday, just have to relocate the front brake line supports and fab a support bracket for my fuel pump. Ive installed electric mirrors and today it gets a tilt column and interval wiper relay to suit the new column.

How tall is this lift Tsu?

I've got three inch with raised kings and 27's but will be going back to 23 inch standard tyres for the snow season. Hoping they don't look as out of place as yours do with that lift... It'd still be funny if it was like this though.

I'm betting on a 4 inch lift ;)

haha, yes it looks pretty strange doesnt it:) It has a 4" front lift and a 6" at the rear. I think Ill come in somewhere around 29", maybe 30" with some cutting. Its getting pug's once lug nuts are available but I want to wait until engine and trans are installed and see what it does to front wheel clearance before I buy tires.
Cheers, Mark

Yes, Steptoe is right..I fell bad for you guys having to deal with all that..wonder if Au insurance and death rates are superior to the usa. With all the regulations I would think so.

Statistically our deaths on the roads each year are not expressed other than deaths each year, not taking into account the change of driver, passenger, pedestrian or population numbers. Any death on the road is not necessary but it is a simple fact of modern life. I am sure people died when their horse threw them or crashed into pedestrians or other horses, coaches, or sulkies. We are all just made to feel bad. So many of the big death crashes look to involve just your modern motor car or the faster factory optioned jobbies - not raised old junkers or just old stuff - from my observations.
