moosens

Jon from PA , you live right there. Going on 8 ......

1982gl4 Subafreak moosens subeman90 not a bad start for Feb*ROO*ary. Happy Leap Day everybody ! Andrew and Charlie are both interested - that's 6. Eric L. with the blue Brat is usually also into it , would make 7 ...... And of course if it gets close I'd toss in a few more bucks and register a couple of ghost cars. New people - you can register and bring up to 3 cars.

Yeah , I think its going to be a real throwback to the pre-"Group" days. Somehow I feel the urge to approach it as a challenge to get that old 25 magic number but , we all know better by now .......right?

Good year to shop!! Well , money is tight but where else can you look over so many interesting cars for sale. And you know there'll be lots of for sale signs.

Thanks, Rob. I could swear it went thru. Good to hear there'll be somebody there. I think we can forget about getting a group tent, but a couple of us have canopies.

OK here we go again .... CHEERS!

New folks - this is both a Fun -NON judging event and a Showcase Judged Field for the creampuffs. Show up in anything and park among like minded people , or at least folks with the same make of car , and just have fun. Carlisle PA - third weekend in May every year. Right on the Carlisle Fairgrounds where they also hold such National events as listed on their site - Chevy , Ford , Corvette , Mopar , Harley ....that stuff. Camping on site or plenty of cheap enough places to stay. Swap meet , food , and MOTORCYCLES TOO !!!!! That started a few years back and has been growing - YES !!!! Some really interesting European cars from all over. Growing number of Asian cars now too! Throwing out random info here - There is a place to wash your car FREE!! An Autocross up on the little track on the hill. Wanna race for dinner?? :cool: Huge area of Vendors and "Swap meet" with all sorts of tool suppliers , literature , paraphenalia - did I spell that right? , and food. Also a KIT and REPLI-CAR show - some absolutely incredible stuff there !!! And they do a 24 hour build every year - last time I was there it was a little Porsche 356 replica. Civic Center across the street often has an event worth attending or shoving the wife off to. We were in a good run of getting a solid group together up untill a couple of years ago or so. No big deal , we make it if we can and understand if we can't. But we do tend to bring food and set up a tent ,etc. and try to at least enjoy a meal together or more. Saturday is THE BIG DAY. Showing up Friday night helps but is NOT necessary. But also , don't bother showing up too late on Saturday. Do try to be there early and stay at least thru lunch. I hear that beer is good! That's what they tell me. Any questions please ask. Cheers !

The latter.

Looking more loyal right now.

There's a guy in TN who might be sitting on new windshields he hasn't gotten to yet. "drivesubies" is Danny W. Great guy to deal with. If you need one and he's not ready I'll help u out but shipping will be a lot.

Very early alternator. Can you please let me know if that very first pic is a Sanden A/C compressor? I see the York thing going on but to me that's the shape of a Sanden and the York was the little cube like deal. I need a Sanden 507. Might scoot up that way today. I keep saying that but you know how it goes with the kids. Tournament championship basketball game today!!!! JV Girls basketball , yeehaaa !!!!

I've got a windshield for you when you're ready.

I can't let mine go any cheaper plus you'd be covering shipping. Keep in mind we had these freshly made just like 3 years ago or so. We were told they were from Thailand and that the mfg. Was not keeping the mold after that last batch. Ask the installer when that gasket was produced. Mine would only be a few bucks more with shipping but you'd know it's fresh. Have one sitting here somebody neglected to follow thru on. Could be one of the last ones.

:cool: Thanks!

That's it , I'm breaking in ...... :-p

I see your Brat deserves NEW parts so contact "drivesubies" - Danny W. for the mudflap. I have the rocker trim if you really need it , but I'm hoping you find that in new form from Danny as well. There was also a seller in Israel who had those mudflaps NEW on eBay. Good luck.

At this point I'd say use anything that works since you're making new holes anyways. ctsuba is his board name but because he barely posts I don't think he has PM and doesn't even show up as a member when you search. If you really want to go stock I'll be talking to him later and let him know your situation. He has an ff-1 sitting on his property and an unbelievable amount of rusting panels and ff-1 parts in general - most of which are fairly well protected from sunlight and weather , excepting the sheetmetal left outside. His problem is that he really doesn't have the time , or the desire to take the time , for sifting thru all his stuff for some tiny items that the user (not saying you , but history shows us as mostly cheap bastids) doesn't want to offer dirt for. That's his take and I agree for the most part. People don't seem to realize that somebody went thru a lot of trouble and outright expense to save parts for restorations ,etc. OK , said my piece and Charlie's (ctsuba) too. That said , I'll let Charlie know.

I think ctsuba might have those.

I'll be looking for one just like yours about 15 years from now. Keep me in mind , ok ? Welcome , and oh yeah I love that little white WRX If you get a Gen I Brat be sure to check several spots no matter where it comes from and how rustfree it looks from the outside. Check some of the Gen I resto or refurbish type posts in the Historic Forum to get what I mean. Under cowl and wheel aprons toughest spots. Don't let a little rust of the fender tops bother you , they all had that problem. Glass fenders real cheap just came out of some guys shop - check post if interested. Good luck. Gen I's are cooler.

shhhheeeeeeeee it

Beats lying still. So is your whole body moving or just certain parts?

Talk road trip?

Gotta run that adjuster nut well onto the threaded end of that cable so it even looks like you're going too tight. You want to see lots of thread showing when it's new. As the clutch wears you can back it off some as needed.

On pedal side about an inch and a half before the clutch disengages. On the engine end start with about an eigth inch "strong" of play with no helper spring. Can't recall if yours has a helper like the 70's but you should be ok. I got freaked out on mine too and started calling other old schoolers but I wasn't very far off , just impatient I guess.

Can't get them to you in time but I've got some in storage. For now you might get lucky with Danny - "drivesubies" - or "dannybreadman" on eBay. Check his eBay store quick , then contact him thru here or eBay if need be. You might get lucky elsewhere. Not much of a bend to them so maybe a straight generic run will do .....maybe with an elbow at the end. That could be a 90 deg. fitting with just an inch or so extention of hose to the unit.
