nice lookin' ride man...you're right about rally growin' in the US too. good business choice. look forward to some examples of your "unconventional approach" too

[409industries]

Your wagon is sweet man. I cant wait to see what becomes of it once you have more time to dedicate to it! BTW love the handbrake, sooo sick.

Nice ride dude, I can't wait to see what you have in store to offer for the Imprezas. If you offer a bunch of good products I can guarantee you'll be sending stuff to me all the time.

Any chance in making a subframe brace to bolts onto the current subframe to help prevent it from tacoing like we saw yesterday?

Way ahead of you on that one, I am hoping to have the setup ready to atleast show you guys(on my car) possibly some for sale by Antioch 2. Its funny cause my buddy who owns M1 Development makes one for the "tarmac queens" but is to liteweight for off road abuse. Mine will have similar features (tie in/triangulation to the rear pivots on the lower control arms and engine x-member mounting) but will be stronger in the front under the core support and be more off-road worthy all around and also will allow a skidplate to be attached.

Saweet, I can't wait to see it. If you have it on your car by then and I'm in port I'll have to check it out. Might have to wait on purchasing till I get back though, but I will definately be getting one of these. What color you planning on making them in?

Sorry for the n00bish question, but does this bolt on top of the existing subframe to reinforce it? or is it a replacement?

Also, who taco'd their subframe? was it the car that got stuck trying to romp after Kyle?

[JacksonRally]

No No the black one in the background is the stock one. It replaces the stock one!!

The dude without the bumper mangled his, his radiator was almost hitting the crank pulley it was bent so bad. Also drt suby did some tweaking to his. Neither of their hoods are happy about opening now. The scary part is that is all that protects the radiator. Now no one had skidplates so that did'nt help at all.

[sebhockey]

I doubt a skidplate would have helped too much, might have been enough that it didn't pinch the lower radiator hose. This new subframe and a beefy skidplate would definately be great in preventing this from happening to anyone else.

[I Like It Sideways]

I hadn't seen this subframe brace... an amazing piece of fabrication. Nice choice of tires... how do you like them?

I love the fact that I got them cheap!!! They are awesome though, dry lakebeds chew the outside edges up pretty good.

[409industries]

The aftermarket subframe brace looks fricken awesome. I cant remember if the front 3 holes on my RA skidplate goes into the subframe piece or right in front of it...

I believe on the RA skidplate they bolt into the 3 holes where the plastic bolted to??? Not 100% though.

yeah they are the same ones that the plastic goes into.

[kangaru]

Yeah I'll be upgrading my subframe, but I'm looking more for a lightweight tarmac style frame (I'll stay on flat dirt next time). One thing I'm worried about with making a super beefy subframe, is that upon impact your subframe might stay true, but the parts it mounts to might be weaker and you'd end up transferring the damage to those. Keep in mind where the weakest link will be when designing this. If you hit like I did, something will have to give. I think a skidplate would have helped the car skid off the sand where it hit, rather than digging in and crumpling like it did.
Here's pictures of the aftermath, to give a better idea of the damage:

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c154/paulolsonjr/DSC05092.jpg
http://lh3.google.com/chris.chrobak/RqU80aTweJI/AAAAAAAAAYY/VdYOBxYpLZI/s800/DSC05103.jpg

[JacksonRally]

I'll get you a price on the one in the pic. It is definetly more suited for tarmac, it only weighs 15lbs and is chromoly tig welded.

[sebhockey]

Thats why we adjust and fix the weak points as we find them, right now the subframe is the weak point for us. If it causes another problem then we strengthen that too.

Honestly though a skid plate under one of these will prolly prevent it from happening. As if the front lip of the skid plate is angled at say 30-45 degrees and in front of the subframe it should cause the force of an impact at this point to transfer down and below the skidplate and little to no damage to the car. This assumes a skid plate that is strong enough/or braced enough to do that job such that the forward momentum of the car causes the car to move up and over the point of impact on the skidplate and not just bend the skidplate flat against the subframe.

It will utillize the same bolt holes as the stock underbrace, but new hardware will be supplied.

[409industries]

wow yeah that subframe got punched pretty good. I really like the look of that subframe brace.

They mainly tie the roll cage into the cab (similiar to the a-pillar on a wrc car) And also add strength. Look closely to the opening between gussets on the a-pillar....built in handle for pulling yourself in and out.

I may put up a few more pics for all to see (if its ok with A)

Well I thought I'd shed some light on my steering upgrades:

JR 2:1 steering reducer
Modified power steering pump by Howe performance steering
Setrab p/s oil cooler
Pro-Am oversized billet p/s reservoir


Of course none of this is made specific for the Subys but they are common racing parts for steering systems. I will be making the complete system bolt in.

[sebhockey]

You need to hurry up with the truck and start producing stuff for us. Enough with the teasing already, I wanna see the goods.

[JacksonRally]

Oh yeah Loren we might head out to El Mirage....bout 80% right now...

Also I want to tell everyone that the group N motor and trans mounts are a MUST!! These things are awesome, the car feels so much better in many ways and they are 100% bolt in. IMO these should come stock on the car but you do "feel" her idle now....awesome!!!!

[sebhockey]

Looks great, how long did the group n motor mounts take to install? How about a install write up of how you did it. Subaru's way for install on their SPT site involves doing too much to bother with em. I've seen other write ups, but they don't give me much confidence in being able to safely install em with the tools I have available.

My bro just ordered the same stuff. Install will be similiar even tho he has a STI. So I will be sure to take pics and do a write up then, but they are really easy. Lorenkb was kind enough to pay me to put mine in :lol: ha ha j/k he came by to buy my Kumhos but he did help me out all day. My bro also ordered some other bushing goodies so we will do a more in depth write up.

[JacksonRally]

Little update:

06 sedan struts are in.
I went ahead and made some lower control arms. I made the new arms 40mm wider per side and 20mm further forward for more caster.


For some reason I thought that after working all day friday I would work on my car fri nite. Bad Idea! I ended up working on my car for 36 hrs straight cause I decided to park my car in the alley and pull off my lower control arms cut them apart and make new ones. Well it rained all fri nite, but I got them done. This was spur of the moment and I did'nt have my camera at work but I will take pics.

[ankyle62]

when you going to start selling some of this crazy stuff you are making? cool stuff man.

whats with the 'offroad' intake?

[JacksonRally]

The intake is still in the works. The main hurdle is making something that won't hurt performance but will filter dirt better than stock and be less bulky. The factory intake is by far the way to go but I'm looking to make something smaller. I will prob work on it more when I'm ready to have my car tuned that way I can see what the new intake is/or is not doing. Alot more will happen next year. I'm hoping it will be a big year for me.

[deadbeatdude]

how come no updates in a while. hoping theres some new progress. the wagon is sick man

[JacksonRally]

Yea I need to update, but recently been having engine trouble. So I'm in the dark with motors and I am fearing the motor may need to come out and be rebuilt!! :shootsself:

[JacksonRally]

Updates will come when I get my car back from the dealer!!

[JacksonRally]

It's time for a little update. Car has been back from the dealer but its still not running like it should/used to. I did however replace my intercooler with another stock one and the car was almost normal. My intercooler was very, very clogged with muck. Now when I drive my car for atleast an hour straight it starts acting as if someone is "choking" the intake again. I've had a catless DP laying around for awhile so I finally decided to throw it on to see if possibly I had a clogged/damaged cat. Not so much. But now my problem evolved from choking to popping/sputtering at 4500rpm. Thats where its at now.

Just before Laughlin I made a skid plate for my car. Pics to come.

Heres a pic of when all my engine trouble began. Outside of Laughlin, somewhere on I-40.

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa15/Jackson-Rally/Laughlin2007005.jpg

[JacksonRally]

I also just installed the rear subframe lock bolts. What a difference. Especially with as much sidewall I have on my tires. Those bolts really reduced the "wandering" in the rear of my car.

awesome work, i have some stock arms for you if you want to build some for the rallypanda!

I'm actually gonna be looking into the different arms from the different chassis to see whats similar/or not. Then of course make some for the other models. So if you have an extra set of straight arms that you wouldn't mind parting with for awhile, send em' out.

[Not All There]

i will towards the end of January, ill help out the cause.

[lminette]

That subframe looks awesome Kyle!!! I can't believe that I've never commented on your build thread before. You fab skills are awesome!! I hope to have some Jackson Rally Fab work done on my car someday soon!!

[JacksonRally]

Well just waiting on the radiator. I will have pics when its all in. Plus I need space to pull my motor and start cutting apart the stock radiator support!!

[JacksonRally]

Argh radiator is back ordered for another week.

No problems what so ever. Mine are 1.000'' thick and therefor required longer studs....so I used 3/8'' bolts and tack-welded them into the tophat cause I still can't find longer replacement metric studs.

[JacksonRally]

Its a Lowrance Globalmap Baja 540C.

[JacksonRally]

Stereo is going in the dash just above the glovebox, its got a remote so I can still use it from the hot seat!!

[subydrift]

Those spacers are burly! Any plans on making a few more sets to sell? If so let me know! I want to get my outback a little taller so I can fit some Yoko Geolander A/Ts.

[StanBo]

Fantastic build!

Reading this makes me appreciate your signiture picture even more.

Man I can't wait to get my bugeye dirty!

[kreitz3]

I could probably use some of those spacers on my car as well, that is if I don't sell it.

Do you mind sharing your offset? Also if you are running a spacer to clear the calipers.

There is a good discussion going on this here:

It seems that you are the one making the mold here. Even though you are 5x114.3 the sizing you are running should be the same for the 5x100 guys.

Do you mind sharing your offset? Also if you are running a spacer to clear the calipers.

There is a good discussion going on this here:

Oh yeah motor is coming out soon!! I might make an event this season.

[StanBo]

Thanks!


Any plans for the motor when it comes out or are you going to keep it stock?

[JacksonRally]

Thanks!

Yes for the most part, but with better head studs, bearings, gaskets etc. and some Grimmspeed coatings.

[StanBo]

I apologize for not knowing but there are better bearings for the motors than stock?

I have had my friends mention ARP for headstuds and I have seen better gaskets.

Thats what I was told. I looked into bearings for about $80 and the motor builder says the ones he uses are like $400??? He's the boss and has done Subaru/Rally motors before. I will be getting the ARP headstuds ;-). I just want good parts to handle the mild bolt ons I will be doing.

Fantastic!

Come to think of it maybe some companies like JUN or Cosworth have their own bearings.

I was reading an interview with the president of JUN and he commented that they didn't make all of their parts but they did shop work out to their own tolerances.

A quote:

"American tuners worry about cost first and quality second. Japanese are the opposite."


I agree with getting the right part first and building for efficient power. Good luck with your next step. 8)

ive been thinking of llifting my wagon and puttin more aggressive tires on my wagon to make playin al lil more fun. how much lift is on your wagon and how hard would it be for me to do something like that

HOLY **** are you kidding?

If not what can you do to stop this (or slow this) from happening again? Double filtration?

[JacksonRally]

Everything is pretty good except the worn rings and slight piston slop from the little bit of dirt she ate. Heads look good. I'm sure I'll find out more from the machine shop this week.

[JacksonRally]

If you look on the left piston you will see the black crunchy stuff that used to be dirt.

Hook ups?

[Recce01]

not really... just ordered 1 for Eric, as we popped it at the Rallyx. Hey.. call chris about your engine today, and I hope you feel better, your customer was here yesterday.

[JacksonRally]

Called Chris, thanks for the update. See you all tomorrow.

[deadbeatdude]

any updates here

any updates here

None really, motor will be back in my hands next week now.

[StanBo]

Did you make any improvements to the intake track?

[JacksonRally]

Just TGV delete.

[JacksonRally]

As far as the filter...that will be completly redesigned.

[lorenkb]

As far as the filter...that will be completly redesigned.

Speaking of which, before you get rid of the original intake setup you might want to do some data logging to see how the MAF sensor should behave. That way you know for sure whether the new intake is doing its job. I have a Tactrix cable just sitting on my desk. Let me know if you want to use it.

Yeah you may as well be speaking swahili to me cause I have no idea what you just said :lol2: ......data what? Tactrix cable (like for t.v.???) :roll: I'm no motor guy remember. However the "Baja Car" that is in the shop is pretty much getting what I'm gonna do, and he has "ran" the numbers for his new intake.

[JacksonRally]

MMMM got a box of forged goodness in today.....pics to come.

However the "Baja Car" that is in the shop is pretty much getting what I'm gonna do, and he has "ran" the numbers for his new intake.

Well why the hell aren't you fluent in swahili? :unamused:

You can connect a cable (the Tactrix cable) to your OBDII port. From there you can hook up a laptop and record just about any engine parameter(s) you want to. The problem that a lot of aftermarket intakes run into is making the MAF sensor read inaccurately. MAF sensors can be very touchy when it comes to turbulence introduced by your intake. To play it safe it would be a good idea to compare the MAF readings stock to the new intake to make sure nothing is wonky. A wideband 02 sensor in the exhaust to verify air/fuel ratio would be a good thing as well. Doing all this will insure you aren't running engine-destroying lean while your MAF sensor sits there and says everything is A-OK.

And damn you to hell for your forged goodness! :punch:

[JacksonRally]

Forged goodness :machinegunleft:

shiny... :)

I just got stuck looking at how shiny that is! Yah, +1 to a wideband O2 sensor if your running any engine mods.

[JacksonRally]

Shes coming home sat!!!
Not running or anything fancy like that but it will be in MY garage. Let the games begin.

[blackbetsy]

are you going to dust the new one too?,maybe you should invest in a elbow and some PE fender-liners.i heard they work. i know a guy that can hook you up.

My car is at my house now. I can finally do some little things in my garage...like tear her apart to start repairs from my little crash at El Mirage last year.

I like the flashlight being used as a hood prop

[worldrallyblue]

Kyle!!! when did your car break down?!?!








jk... looking forward to seeing an end to this saga and seeing back in your car again!!

[ea82abuser]

How's the camber change with the strut spacers?

[409industries]

Is the blue hood prop where the engine is supposed to be OEM?

:)

[JacksonRally]

How's the camber change with the strut spacers?

Stock it gets pretty close to zero at ride height. But I made wider lower control arms so mine sits at approx -1.5 I know it looks zero in the pics but its at full droop with the motor out.

[JacksonRally]

....any questions....:machinegunleft:

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa15/Jackson-Rally/PICT0494-1.jpg

and yes the sheet metal will be cut to the same line as the bumper, just a prelim fit.

Oh and hoping to have motor in and car up and running next weekend
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D :D:D:D:D:D:D

Sweet man!! It'll be good to see her back in action, and once the sheet metal it cut I think the rear of your car will look bad ass!!!

[subyspawn]

uhh ohhh... the battle wagon revival saga begins... right on! aboot time bro.

hope the motor is done SOON!!!!

[sebhockey]

Need to hurry up and revive it already. It's been a very long time coming.

Don't just paint the control arms, it'll come right off the first time you take it in the dirt. You should get those powder coated.

[JacksonRally]

When I say paint I mean powder coated of course.

[BenMara]

y did you cut off the front?

[Not All There]

i have a few ideas on what your doing in the back possibly, im sure it will be awesome.

Nice work, cant wait to see it

[g wilikers]

uhh ohhh... hope the motor is done SOON!!!!

jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. alright already :mrgreen: the engine will be done WAY before the rest of the revival is done.

have to admit, when i wlked next door to see what was going on, i didn't realize that was his car at first. it was sooooooo clean. without all the dirt, it was hard to recognize it. cant wait to get a ride in the max max wagon!!!!!!!!

now hurry up & get done

Haha I got bored on Sat. and put the tires back on, then pushed it out of the garage, then washed it and some how got it to the shop. We'll see how she progresses, the front end was pretty munched. Either way I'm sure the motor/front end will eventually meet....

[DirtyME22]

I have to admit, when I came by the shop yesterday she looked a lot happier then when she was just sittin in the garage collecting DIRT the wrong way! :mrgreen:
