I should be out of my rental unit in Milford before the end of August. For those who've not been there it's the "coffeehouse" of Subarus.It's also kind of a Subaru parts department for 70's through 80's and then some.Part museum,part repairshop,and my personal hangout.No wife or kids up there so the end of a great era,for me is nearly over. All are welcome.I'd like to see if folks can make it a mini-meet like I did last year.Let me know what dates are good for you folks for the GRAND FINALLY!!!! I need some help here and there in the meantime so any locals who can give me some time please try to call and help if you can.Don't go nuts,I know everybody has things to do. I was thinking July 17/18th I don't have a truely open weekend between now and then.But don't think I won't be up there at all.I'll be there on weekends and whenever possible from now untill I'm out of there.So,anyone who wants to help out please call.Even if you can give me an hour or two it goes a long way.Right now I need it to be good weather so I can take stuff outside and sort/box/label/toss,etc.etc. Talk to me. I've got a fridge,freezer,microwave,Coleman stove,am willing to actually cook this time(for the Grand Finally) and there's plenty of other food around too. Oh,and there'll probably be some beer there too.Much tire smoking when the place is done with. I'm working all the time now so daytime during the week is out of the question for any assistance.Nights are always the best.Nice and cool and no people around the industrial park. If Zap comes down for that weekend it'll be a bail bond event for sure.

it was Qman and SubieGal....:-p just kiddin' Ken I also had a sweet wagon at the Stop 'n Shop from WA not long ago but it was an EA82 wagon. Ever go over to Faust in Allentown?I'm curious if the Gen I brat is stilll in the back corner.Was camo painted,has solid fenders.....was a couple of years ago now.

edit-sorry but my keyboard goes whacky on me sometimes. Art,calll me sometime.Was wondering about all those parts you had.I emailed you through eBay but never heard from you. Phone number is the same.Email if you need it again.Glad to see you rockin and rollin.I knew those powerlines would make for some fun sometime.So,can I come up and play?

yo!!!!!

.....Damn,and I thought I liked you Eric!!! LOL I'd sell something and get the hatch if you wanted to dump it off on me.Otherwise I just don't have the ambition to do it.I've seen EJ's and Mike's at Pine Barrens,and Bruce's lifted ZRBrat-but I know what the rust situation is and approach it realistically.I've always said Subarus are the Bic lighters of cars.They're a dime a dozen down here and you just use them and toss them,go get another.So putting all that effort into one kind of doesn't appeal to me from this standpoint.And,I'd practically never get to use it properly-except for crushing Hondas. Eric,I'm going to PM my cell #.Feel free to call as you need to.Night and weekends free baby!!! OK,just emailed through the board.-edit

What,you didn't ask Bluebird?LOL If you're more concerned with the winter driving go for the narrower (165). Brus,My friend and tow guy is the manager at Town Fair.Great cash deal! Just call me and I'll let him know you're coming.It's not a shady deal,he just writes it up as a shop sale. I've gotten some excellent Toyos for both our cars.He'll also gladly set you up with a less expensive set-which I'd guess you want to put on there given the life expectancy of the wagon.Call me.I'm now working during the day but I'll get back to you soon if you leave a message. Konrad-you are here in CT now,right? Stop by and take some stuff home.... *

Sooner or later everything shows up there...just not real pretty. Any GL-10 stuff?Turbo's?

Let me know when you're ready for the City. Brad,you at the Cape for the season?We're hitting downeast Maine the week of the 4th.Let me know if you're there around Friday/Saturday July 10/11th.

There's a roadster kit available.The weasel scumbag that ripped me off had one.Gee,too bad,but somebody ran the car over..... Sorry,but that's the only Subaru XT I ever saw with one and I'm still a little pissed. Good luck.

Sounds like a heater hose to me. I think it's left side in(to heater core) and right side out.Not that that matters but you do want the correct one.I think one has a bend in it and the other is not as bent.....too bad I don't have any EA82's here at home or I'd double check for you.

If I mention this to the wife we'll probably head down too,visit our friends and join the party.I'll keep my eye on this post. Good luck.

I'd say those states and VT,CT,and New England in general. Upstate NY is a little redneck,more Ford Broncos and Chevy Blazers..... Eric,you're in a real lame part of NY,hate to tell you.There's a lot more Subarus down this way where more open minded people live. I said this recently in another post,something to the effect that this last decade or so people have had more choices in 4WD so the average yuppie scum has gone from Subarus to Navigators,etc.....have you noticed all the Mercedes...probably not,because your in a lame rump roast area,sorry bud. Stop down here on a weekend.I'll show you the real deal.But I will admit,there's just not the same numbers since the late 80's Subarus ruled the roads.At the same time they began rotting off the roads the influx of copy cat-bigger name label cars came into play.Not making excuses,not comparing just stating some facts.Folks out your way can keep their Subarus longer and generally need to,like in VT,WV,PA,etc.....an average NY/NJ/CT resident feels they need to get a new car every 8 years or less.Some folks much less than 8 years. Eric,how many old cars do you see at all up there?Probably not many unless you're at a drive in on show night.Rust....the deciding factor. Dude,let's get together.I know I have your number here,but if you don't mind,make it easy on me and send it again.If you can make it down on the weekend it'll be a blast.Are you guys working the weekends or what?

Total sickness Saturday.Stop by anytime I should be there all day. 230 Woodmont Rd. Milford,CT Exit 40 either direction. From north take left,under highway,go straight through intersection,just after the Dunkin Donuts,turn into the small industrial park.You'll find me. From South take left at end of exit,go to intersection and go right.Just after the Drunkin Dognuts..... Could use help with several projects.Or stop by and hang out.All welcome,no skills required.

We've got friends in Frederick.Non-Subaru owners but real good folks.Have a good time.If you need a band he plays in the Acme Blues Movers-great party tunes-rockin' blues,and general cool tunes.

On the shore in Bridgeport...... There's a guy-Brad-a.k.a. "bythesea" who's in Belchertown and on the Cape in P-town during the season. A few others in VT,MA,CT,RI,ME,eastern NY.....have fun,email if needed. Paul

Right on!!!!!!!

Thanks guys.Yes,I'd love to do another meet/grab 'n go deal but I think last year was the peak for interest for this area-for the old stuff I mean. I'd like to be out of there by the months end but I expect to have to pay for July.I think I have to give them a full month notice....anyhow,a huge blow out would be cool but I kind of need to organize before the herd tramples the garden. I'm not tossing in the towel,you gotta know that,but I will be significantly reducing the amount of B/S I'll be keeping from now on.Our place(the workshop) is also home for all our camping stuff,recreational stuff,kids stuff,out of season clothes,furniture we just can't use right now,compressors,ladders,tools,etc.....so I'd like to get most of that stuff more consolidated and ready to ROLL. same for the Subaru stuff.

I'll be parting out an '84 wagon if that regulator helps.Damn! I hope you got some use out of it.I made sure it worked well enough here before I took it out of the door. Let me know if I can help.

Didn't I send you one?Is this THAT one?If so I'm damn sorry about that... Those aren't too hard to do.At least they've gone well for me.I changes one on an '82 4WD wagon and it took about 15 minutes,glass and all. In your case you my need to reach up and get those 10mm bolts.Or,you might be able to disconnect the regulator and the frame should drop down....I think. I'd get any bolts you can off and see if it'll drop down.There's only like 3 bolts on the frame and I thin 4 on the regulator.Then there's the position holders,I think 2 or 3 of those at the top of the door. Good luck,hope it works out and please let me know if that's the one I sent you.

Some ideas: "Well,my grandmother had one just like this and she used to bring us to go get ice cream in it..........I'd just like to get one if I can find one free,just to show her.It'd make her so happy." "I'd really like one of these but I can't afford to pay much of anything because I know these cars always need axles and exhausts,etc.My (dad/mom/whoever) had one and it was great but it needed all sorts of stuff to keep it running." And there's always..."You need that thing gone or what buddy?"But that's an east coast thing,might not work out there. Good luck G-man

Galen,I see your post now.LOL Same as Corky,ask them if they would let it go to someone who really wants to get it back on the road.There's plenty of good reasons why they should just let it go. $50 tops if you get a little weak in the knees.

Thanks for the info!! Mine look to be decent size also.I might give the project to another Subaru old timer I know if he'll barter with me.I just don't have the time lately but this post has got me anxious. I think it demands that I show up at a drive in car show-off night with the hood off when it's done.

Legacys are listed as of '89 here too Caleb,but I never see them.

Aparently not.I recently got my D/C set up and my guess was if the intake stays the same there's probably no need for a different head.It's just a question of more flow.I don't think there's a need to change compression or valve timing. All just opinion here.I asked my local guru with over 25 years as a Subaru tech, and he feels it's a bolt on upgrade and does not require different heads/or compression.He's only seen one and it was over 20 years ago.They are very hard to find,as you know,but especially hard to find up here.The west coast has way more JDM parts floating around from the late 70's/early 80's. I'll be putting mine of later in the summer.If you do your first please keep in touch.

just emailed about the carpet.
