Bidding on E-Bay 1980 Brat.....
moosens replied to Twowagons's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hi Trudy,good to see you back in action. Is this the blue one in VT? I think it was listed for $1000. I was really considering it but it's just not the right time for me to take something like this on.But dang dog dooodley,I sure was tempted.....good luck sweety. Take care, Paul -
If you don't get a response by tomorrow I'll try to bring home one of my manuals and scan it for you.

If you are planning on swapping engines you can lift the intake off with all the hoses attatched and place it where the spare tire deck is,then swap the longblock.You can use a later engine with Single Port Fuel Injection,just drill out the EGR ports on the exhaust ports(we'll help you through when it's time). You might have a harder time finding a carb'd engine but don't let that hold you back. If you have the Dual Range 5speed on demand 4WD tranny it's worth keeping going for sure.Many of us here will have parts for you at very reasonable prices. Good luck with it.

Factory service manual thread...
moosens replied to tailgatewagon's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I saw you bidding on these you listed below.I thought I sent you a set for '73?? Anyhow,I have most FSM's from 1971-1984 and then a few others like '88,89,maybe another one or two. -
no sweat brother.

Oh my freakin gawd!!!! Look what I started. Here's the nutshell deal.She became interested in my '73 when it was still in Moxee,WA.She did not communicate with me and I was interested first but needed to confirm with Pat that he could hold it for a while.JT wrote some less than lovely lines here because she felt.....well,I'm still not sure,but she felt I should have known she was racing in the desert (so desert races take 3 weeks???)and that she was unable to communicate. Well,my crystal ball had been down and I kind of dropped out of Mind Reading 101,so I had no idea where she was.All I did was ask for her to communicate and you'd thought I'd asked her to ...... (insert your favorite sex act).She took a good couple of shots at me but I went on as gentlemanly as I could,believe it or not.But,that didn't seem to sit too well with her anyways. I got the car!She got the redish hair and decent enough body.Personally,she's just not what I would call the best of the bunch in that "election for erection". Apologies to Ed and anyone else who supports her.I'm very good at reading faces and she's cold to me.That's a half smile if I ever saw one.Totally lacks warmth.But,to some men in this country she's probably desireable. If someone is upset that I included some opinions here,well,go back and find the posts where she lays into me. End of story.

Any of the Subaru gang on Speed channel tonight?
moosens replied to moosens's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
No Dave,it was on at 9PM here. What I saw bit.Just not for me.But if you're into the American cars or bikes with "much chrome" (gag!,cough...) then it was a proper teaser to get you to reserve your hotel in Harrisburg for this summer's shindigs. Gee,I thought for sure Scott would have paid them to film his Brat. -
Roll Call for the wedding

Good luck Flowie.I had no idea about all this wedding stuff. Can someone show me the link that explains what the day will be like,etc? -

oops,sorry,I got some message from the Board about not filling in enough info,blah blah blah...and now I can't seem to delete one of the posts. -
ASV= Air Suction Valve,I believe. I've also gotten loud shotgun backfire with a hole in the exhaust and timing dead on.

welcome to USMB "JUDE"
moosens replied to sparkster58's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
He might be coming to the First Subaru Church of the Resurection sometime soon for an EA81.Seems like one of us so far. -
I'd like to thank the Academy,my agent,and all the people who sign my checks. Hey,seriously,did I ever tell you guys that I was offered a screen test BY a producer with ABC???Wife gets upset when the subject comes up.She says I should have gone.Maybe someday.The guy is local during the summer months and believe it or not I met him because he was trying to dump off his son's Subaru!!I told the wife I'm stopping by his place this summer and see if I can still weasel my way in.For me,being there would be cool enough.I've wanted to make films since I was like 6 years old.Did you really read this far?Thanks Cheers

This feedback stuff is kind of fun.I just hope nobody makes a stink about my not leaving thread links.After over 8000 posts and many years here you'd better believe I know the people I've left feedbacks for are trustworthy!!!!! As for the folks and the feedbacks,etc. This board has been an absolutely great experience over the years.Sure,there's been an idiot or two or three,but in general I've had a lot of good come from this silly little forum,and the rest of the board somewhat as well.As my cars get older up here where folks turn over cars faster than you can say Hummer,it'll be even more effective for me.I'll be looking for all the parts I need for my vintage Subarus exclusively on this board and eBay,of course.Most of the sources here,and those contacts from my local elders,have pretty much exhausted their stock of pre-90's parts,let alone the 70's items I so desire. A thousand thanks to guys like Ed Rach,Qman,Eric Z,Rob(Turbone),Corky,Todd,Mick,Skip,Jesse,WagonsOnly,Wagon78,Brian,Shawn,all the Johns(mudrat,the Ohio guys,jemmy,Flappy's Printshop John,etc.),Jerry!!!,Tim,the list goes on and on..... Also,even though I've not had transactions with some folks I feel they've been good friends and folks who I'd love to hang out with.There's several dozen of those folks at least!!! And of course,those local enough that I've met.I'm very lucky to have guys like Dave,who drives about 3+ hours to come help me,and Melissa who comes along and helps too.Connie,Andrew,Scotty,Jim,Louis,etc......all great folks. So,my message here is to the folks just settling into the USMB.Stick around,even if you don't get the help you need right away.The people here are truely a cut above the folks I see in everyday life.One day you'll help me,and the next you'll probably find me helping you.If I'm not there someone just like me will be there,maybe even someone better,although you might have to dig a little.... A million thanks to Pat-NorthWet-who brought my '73 across the country.If this doesn't give folks an example of the kindness shown here I don't know what does.I was sure to take care of him.He sure took care of me.And the beat goes on. Thanks for reading. Hey,how about my avitar(sp?) ??? Finally!!!!!!

1600 pistons if you want some speek now...
moosens replied to tailgatewagon's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Intake and carbs for parts and experiments..... heads w/bolts 'cause I could use some for a rebuilt I have that arrived w/bent bolts.:-\ Air inj. piping from pre-'79 Only if this stuff is like free or nearly free.I'll hook you up with some dough for the effort. Please let me know if a late production 1400 shows up.It's the two port exhaust.I don't really want a 4 port unless it looks incredibly good.If the late prod. shows up it's plenty light enough to ship,if you're willing.Even if it was broken down.Just remember to turn the bolts in like 1/16th of a turnfirst,follow procedure with untorquing and it'll help a lot.I'll be happy to send you the info on torque patter,etc. if you want it. Thanks -
1991 loyal 4x4 automatic wont shift out of 1st gear
moosens replied to fgug's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
No sweat Pat. Good idea to "flush twice",like Pat said.Not nec. a flush but just empty,fill,drive around a little,empty,fill,like dat.Seems to me that just letting the worm nest empty out helps the vacuum action. -
From the north east,take exit 7 off of the NJturnpike,head south on Rt.206. We meet at the diner at the intersections on Rts. 70 and 206 at around 8:30-9 Eat some carbs,yap it up a bit,then head south on 206 just down the road to the ranger station in Atsion.THere's a big grassy area right there at the entrance. You'll see a bunch of knuckleheads with hoods up,etc.....that's us. We then venture into the woods.It's almost all sandy trails,yes SAND.It's a weird area,very special.You won't do any rock crawling and might not have a lot of mud to sling around but it's a good exercise for our cars. There are spots where you can go hog wild,so the challenge is there.You'll be in good company and if anyone gets stuck there's someone to pull you out. Always best that everyone have a tow strap.Better even,to have a cell phone,just incase,but nobody will leave the last guy behind. You're welcome to hook up with me on the ride down.If things go well we should have about 4 or 5 of us leaving CT together.I like to leave Bridgeport around 6-7 AM since the diner is about 2 hours from B'port,gets us there in plenty of time. Typically,by 11 AM we're in the woods and stop for a few breaks.Better to all have lunch with us so we don't have to run out of the woods and we can all stick together. Atco dragstrip is just a few minutes away.There,we can hit the powerlines in back of Atco and it's often more challenging there.More mud,deeper water,a thrill a minute....but it's a smaller parcel of land so after an hour or so it's about enough.REally cool to see those dragsters too.At that point you're a little closer to Philly and it's about 2 1/2 hours back to B'port. Hope you can make it. Cheers
