Maybe I didn't see something but from what I think I see it looks like I'll need an inverted Torx,or spline,socket for this adjustment. I'll be "going in" sometime later this week for a pan drop,screen change,clean out,band adjust,etc.... Help this blind man see,please. Thanks

Why would there be old Subarus there this weekend? The real Import/Kit Show is the third weekend in May,every year. We'll be there then,pretty much count on it this coming May.

No sweat,thanks for the thought.I'm probably going to whip out the plastic money and get something decent since this car might end up as my personal winter car.Connie,I'll get the underwash carwash often,trust me. Next meet at Connie's she's going to serve squab!

You're very welcome! Thanks for cooking.Man,I really wanted to head back just to eat again. Better get those pics of my backside now since the way cost of living in CT is taking it away by the day.

WHOA!!! That person disappeared and I really need to get some parts and info from that person....please. I'll have to check but Ed Parsil tried to get me Kappy's info but at that time the infamous Kappy was nowhere to be found.Much like to make contact.....please.

Geez,that camera likes my backside. Did you nail that throttle to try to get the lifters to fill up yet? Let is warm up and then peg it.Those lifters should be very quiet now. Damn those parts retards for not having the right throw out bearing....let us pray together...."oh great throw out bearing,please don't fail Connie's little Bucky". Sorry I couldn't hang all the way through.Didn't catch any fish at all,but I got the time in and we got to the water,all that really needed to be done.Good to see Dave and Melis got there. I fell asleep before the end of my sister inlaw's killer radio show (4th Saturday of the month 6-10PM on 89.5 FM WPKN.org(internet*) and now on 88.7 in the Hamptons as WPKM)."Captol Radio"!!

I think I just grew more chest hair looking at those.Very cool! GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

What,no post of the action yet??? Well,I had a good time helping out.It was a pleasure to help Connie after all she and her boyfriend Tom did for me some months back.Also rewarding to help keep another older Subaru on the road in CT. Go Bucky GO!!!!!

Jesse in RI comes to mind.Borad name-Subafreak Mary,what about you? Scott in Norwich,CT has a gen I too. Trying to keep it in New England.

Hey guys,I'm kind of desperate for some good 13" rubber.If you guys have some old wheels with decent rubber and can either donate them or wait for some funds I'll take care of you before the snow flies. This is for the '82 coupe,2wd automatic. 5 x 13

Wow,easy Mary,my floor just shook..... Next time,and see if you can swing one of the fall meets for off roading of parts-hounding.Or stop down when I finally move. Nice truck Tim has there....the bigger,newer one. Got the last of the dealer parts today.

Wow,this is going to be a great one.Look guys,if we stick together you know the deal,we can all chip in on one car to get someone their engine ot tranny.All for one,one for all..... Thanks Keith and the other guy.Now to set a date.Let me see what life looks like after this weekend.Defenitely before late November...prefereably in the next few weeks....agreed?Not too soon,I'm just not ready and the money is so thin I can't even see it right now. So,maybe start saying third weekend in October?Saturday,of course,but who knows,maybe I can camp or crash somewhere and do Harry's Hazelton on Sunday. I'd like to hit Natzinger's in Auburn and I guess the EZ in New Ringgold for sure on Saturday.Possibly stopping at Faust in Allentown,but the Subies are in a back corner there and there's a new freakin highway going through that is all mud right now,or was a month ago.Looked like a long slow highway project so I doubt it's any much further along. Can I get a report from Natzinger's??,Dave?? And please call from there if you can.That'll help a lot.Thanks!

Enjoy Maine! Lots to do down that end and lots of sights and solitude out the other end..Water temp still swimmable if you don't mind 55 degree water at best. Wish I could join you.Wanna help my brother on a ladder about 35-40 feet up that Saturday?....nah,me neither.Have fun!Lobstah!!!

Dave and Melis,can you drop off the stands on Friday night?That is if you guys are going up to VT Friday. Maybe I'm overdoing it here but I figure if the car is up and the wheels off(hint) we can do the well deserved brake fluid blow out and refill.I'm sure her car is working on the original fluid.Air compressor would be nice,maybe I can get mine out or Tom....nice nozzle to blow out the lines with....I don't know,you tell me. No call on the parts yet.I'm surprised.But I'll drive up tomorrow and I'm sure it'll all be there.We've already got plenty and nothing serious has been missed.As long as while the engine is out you have the main seals,cam seals and O rings,pump seals and such,you're all set with that. Got the hard plates for Lucky today!!

Thanks Connie,I'm so broke it ain't funny right now.Can't wait to sell this place.I'll getcha back,you know that.

...in flying colors,I might add!!! Not bad for a car almost 25 years old.Lucky's birthdate is something like 10/81....it's an '82 GLF coupe,and it's now officially on the Connecticut roads on a daily basis. That was too easy.But I ain't complainin'. Less than 15 miutes total from pulling into the garage to driving off with a smile. See you at Connie's on Saturday!

Sometime in the next month or two I plan on hitting some eastern PA yards.If you'd like to meet up,we usually have a great time hitting at least 2 yards. This trip I'm mostly interested in a yard in Auburn PA and then maybe hit Harry's in Hazelton if the "pre-game report" declares it worthy,or Ringgold,or whatever you guys suggest. Faust in Allentown is decent too,and there's a Harry's there too. Long day,it starts early,lots of walking...bring food,water,coffee,etc... I'll leave the Bridgeport CT area around 6AM on whatever Saturday we choose.Meet up along the way as you can,if you can or meet at the yards.Always helps having multiple hands.All for one and ONE FOR ALL. ...so uhh,toss out some dates!!! >

Kicking it around.Off roading on sandy trails through tight passes most of the time.Some water,nothing too crazy,usually.We usually meet at the Red Lion Diner at the intersection of Rts. 70 and 206 around 9-9:30AM.Enter the Wharton State Forest at the Atsion ranger station,park outside is we're waiting on someone,then hit the trails. Mick comes to Philly early in October.Maybe we can talk him into coming out early,make a day of it with the midwest legend himself. The last run was a blast! Never mind the ONE lame picture Frank took.We blasted through those trails and snorted tons of sand dust.Must have glass blasted my lungs.Bring some dust protection if it's still dry! If Mick can't make the weekend what dates are best?

Get it....again. Nice move to the Historic forum.

Is there a double V or even a triple V pulley for the EA81 water pump? I have an EA81 automatic with the A/C belt rubbing on the head of the bell shaped pulley on the water pump.Mick mentioned a tensioner pulley but I can't think of where it goes.I have the funky bracketry where you have to tension the A/C unit first,then the alternator on a shared bracket. Thanks for any help.

You squeaking on Bucky is because the defrosted also uses the A/C....pop the hood,hit the defroster and go see what's happening.It could be the idle pulley is frozen,or sticking. OK back to Lucky Le Coupe...yes,it sounds like I need some pulley or something....basically the belt furthest forward (A/C) rubs agains the bell shaped pulley of the W/P.The way I looked at it,if that W/P pulley was a double or so it's work perfect.I've owned and worked on these EA81's with eh power steering,A/C,and Alt. belts before.I just can't remember another pulley to keep the A/C belt off the W/P pulley head. Hey Connie,can you toss me a set of those EA81 valve cover gaskets (cork) that I hooked you up with?Mine are all buried,but you knew that. Lucky Le Coupe will be in the house Saturday.If I get time I'd like to do a valve adjust.

A moderator for this forum has to do it.I'm a mod in the Historic but have no power to do anything here in thie forum...so breath easy everybody.

Jesse with the killer gun!!! Man I gotta git me one uh dem.... Gonna be a good day...let's get in our minds the less than wonderful scenario....if it is raining,can we rig a tarp,maybe even before the rain?That way we can have a dry area for Bucky's attendees. But,why should it rain??We'll see. Connie,anything but anchovies and boiled spinach is cool for me. We'll talk about Friday night on the phone,tomorrow or Thursday....Lucky goes for emissions tomorrow.I expect to fail but no biggie,I'll get it reay for the re-try and pass then....I hope.Wish me luck,who knows maybe it'll squeak by tomorrow. Hey,if there's going to be Jesse,Me,Matt,and Dave with tools,then we should consider some other projects,in my opinion.We don't need four guys knocking heads.How about some brake work while two guys work the engine out,or something like that??And when the engine/tranny come out maybe drain the tranny,does it have the removeable screen filter?...maybe clean the engine bay out??Just making the most hay while the sun shines. Does anyone have any EA81 exhaust part they can toss me...since you love me so much:lol: ?? I could use a mid section for the '82 coupe,automatic.

Put this over in the Historic Forum,please.I can't do it.

Pay for itself in the first month or so of use!!! Get it!!!!
