  1. The old ones crack something serious.Looks like heck,and has to be a potential disaster.I haven't had any fronts pop through yet,but looking at them sometimes will scare you,and rightfully so. It's be nice to have some urethane versions available.
  2. Mostly correct there Mr. NorthWet... Indeed,get yourself some new intake manifold gaskets and just lift the intake with all hoses attatched and place it up on the spare tire deck. Remove old EFI engine. Take carb'd engine and block the ports on the *side* of the exhaust ports with any shim stock that won't melt or corrode. Place carb'd engine in minus the intake from it. Replace intake that you put on the deck. Done.
  3. Frank,a couple of things you want to check are the governor,which is accesable from the engine bay and is located on the passenger side.It has three bolts in a triangular pattern just back from the bellhousing a bit.Take that out and check the small cylindrical gear for "apple coring".There is a metalic version available but getting hard to find.A really good counterperson will research and find one for you. I've had them run better just cleaning off the mechanism too. Also,the modulator on the underside of tranny is worth changing out.They're about $25 and will make a difference,especially in a car that has been sitting. When you pull the small rubber hose off of it you might see some oil drip out.That will indicate that you definitely need to swap it out. Feel free to contact me through email or PM Paul
  4. Well,I had a change in heart on this.Although I won't be voting I just won't pass my less than wonderful experience with Ms.Thomas along any further. Jamie,the '73 looks very cool here in CT!!!
  5. ..........yeeehaaaaa!!! Certainly not knocking Todd here,but YES,we vintage Subarus owners do indeed need a better website to visit.Or even more than one as far as personal owner pages goes.Someday I'll get something thrown together for my personal lot. good luck guys!
  6. Latest discussion has us getting together the last weekend in March,if possible. Your input,please. Saturdays are best.
  7. I'll be up there tonight for those willing. No real work outside since it's going to be cold and dark,but inside I'll be attempting to get some folk's items out for shipping. I'm comitted to stay there untill April.April should be our last month there. Cheers
  8. Same here,at least one set,maybe two if they really are that cheap. Rings would help.
  9. 2 things.... You'd better keep the wife and scratch the play date-my opinion.You get to go to lots of cool functions.I don't have to tell you about greasing the wheel..... And,I'll gladly testdrive the Loyale and get right back to you about it.
  10. You DO get around,Jesse.:-p Hey guys,the place looks like hell again!!! Actually not as bad as it looks....the coupe will be rolled out next weekend if it's over 40 degrees outside.
  11. Is you EA71 pre-'79? The fittings on the Air injection is different.Also the starter is top center on the older ones.This one is off to the side like all other EA81 ans EA71 after 1980??Correct me on the year,please if I'm wrong.Brats with EA71 in 1980 and 81 I believe still use the top starter.
  12. We've had a Jeep with us before....thankfully,for one certain situation.(nope,wasn't for my sake):cool: Cool,he's ok with me.Screws wood,strokes the keys....a regular guy. Hey,I forgot to brag!! My son beat me at chess!!!! I do NOT play to let him win.I've beaten him about a dozen times since he started playing seriously and was just hoping he'd stick it out.I kept telling him he's getting better.He kept looking a little more disappointed each time he lost,but he did it.I'm more proud for his tenacity.I knew he'd eventually beat me."That's 7 and a HALF years old,dad.I'm not a little kid anymore"....(read:move over Rover!) Proud Pop Fivespeed
  13. If she's truely in need of parts I'm sure a bunch of us can help her out.Thankfully she's healthy...right?
  14. Plenty of two wheel drive vehicles go through there.It's sandy roads.The driving trails are typically loose sand.Not much actual dirt.We can,and likely will hit water holes and maybe a touch of dirt/mud as we know it.I kind of want to go fairly soon,but not too soon.If the weather stays mild and fairly snowless it'll still be a little loose and greasy but not as crazy as going in with ice and snow or even the few days after it's melting.That kind of would be cool with a lifted vehicle and the right tires but I'm not in that league right now. You can always show up and leave it out on the grass and go with someone else.Folks have shown up in 2WD cars and chickened out,I mean uhh,sat in the kiddie seat...
  15. Oooooooo,just have to wait untill tonight.Call before you fly down here.Not sure if I'll catch Melis or not.I doubt she wants to wait to go home untill later,but you never know.
  16. Ask Dave,he knows where to go.Check those links above,Melis.We meet either at the diner at the intersection of rt's 206 and 70 or at the ranger station in Atsion,just south of the diner by about 5-10 miles.There's a big grassy area where you'll see a bunch of dorks with their hoods up,etc......
  17. Getting itchy here....... ..like last year,I'll go alone if that's the case but company is always appreciated.
  18. Connie?Connie who?Is there still someone named Connie around here??? j/k sweety,glad you're having a great time with the new guy!!!! rock n' roll Melis,I'll be a little busy during the morning and into the afternoon but call me.Get the number from Dave or send your number to me and I'll call you Sunday early afternoon. Hey,there was a mini-meet up there today and NOT a single person there was aware of any get together.Andrew doesn't really go on the board lately,my brother I think isn't even on the new board,and Scotty came down,he's hardly on here anymore too.Was kind of cool.Anyhow,time for my jabberjaw to get to sleep.Call me if you can.
  19. I'll be there all afternoon today,and back later tonight. Stop by if you can.
  20. Sure,I'll be up there Saturday night,but not untill later,like 9 PM
  21. hehehe....... ...but seriously,that one time where EJ was door deep in muck over by the power lines,huge field of mud. It was at least two in one pull.I pulled the last car which was daisy chained to the next one or two cars.My son will probably remember.He actually reminds me of that once in a while.
  22. And I'll show up in something Subaru that has already yanked lifted Brats and lifted Hatches out of the mud.......and not a bit away from stock! Hey,one time at Pine Barrens I pulled TWO cars out with one pull!! Or was it THREE cars???? The family truck I call it. You call it a touring wagon.:-p
  23. I know I'm not paying you for the Gen I......but was just kind of lumping it into the whole equation......sort of.I do need that turbo wagon buttoned up and I'm even willing to pay for it at this point. I'll email or PM in a minute.
  24. Yeah,nose UP like the people you live amongst!!
