  1. sorry but you have to start real low like "i can get it towed away for free''. if it were on the road start at $100 East coast rules apply here kids.
  2. 25 RIGHT ON!!!! and #25 from CT!!! I drove a Cosworth Ford Sierra (Taurus here in US I think).My cousin has been Northern Italy's top Ford dealer and I was there in '90 when the whale tail Escorts were so new/rare they only had one and would not let me drive it after letting me drive the Seirra. Those Cosworth Escorts must make hair grow.
  3. There's a bunch of us who will register the 25th car as our second or third car. BUT,it'd be cool to see another board member sign up thier first car and crack the big 2 5 Scott K. is Wagon78's name and I didn't see it listed. Attn:We are now in possesion of an official USMB calender car.THat's right,Chris L. has sold the '84 wagon to me-or my sister inlaw.This could be my second car registered if I can find a driver. Then there's the '87 Turbo wagon looking good enough to eat off of......Driver's Wanted:-p
  4. Sure will Joe.Ive' been working lots of hours.Hopefully this weekend I can get a lot done. Welcome to the board as a member.
  5. Yes,I have some fenders,a hood,etc.Thanks for offering. I've been called in for a rush job so I'm working lots of hours all of a sudden,have both my cars down,trying to make an '84 wagon road ready for my inlaws,etc. so it's tough to say exactly when I'll be able to do this now. Fear not,I'm still doing this,just not sure of day or time.
  6. Update and correction: I AM bringing a lasagne and then some even if we don't get the 25. Sorry to sneak it(the post-link to Carlise) in there like that but we'd really like to get a good cross-section of Subarus.All years and models welcome.Come see my '78 4WD wagon or a lifted Brat that deserves to be in the glossy magazines,or a few less than perfect but very unique Subarus. There were Volvos and Saabs from the 90's to present last year....are we going to stand for that???? Show your Impreza or Legacy.Show your Baja or Forester.It's a great day,you'll love it and see cars to drool over.
  7. Open answers/replies,etc. to the group: Yes,the lasagne will be there barring any unforseen disasters. I've got a double burner Coleman camping stove. Also have a monster sized cooler-well at least mighty big. Most of us attending are not very rich and to be quite frank,are mostly all on a tight budget.Don't sweat it,bit do try to contribute if you can.Steal some supplies from the company/office lunchroom,etc.... Meeting for a beer sounds good to me on Saturday night.As long as the kids can be sedated properly I'm sure my wife won't mind if I go out for a little while. Perhaps once we're settled with the registration we can get an actual account of food and supplies being brought so we can see what we'll still need to bring. My lasagne should cover at least 20+ single servings.Might make more,we'll see.Food rules! ...one more thing.Wagon78 where are you??????????
  8. Bingo! Corky is the man with the correct answer in my opinion. Caleb,I am doing the same dawg gone thing to my same dawg gone car you have at the same dawg gone time....dawg!!! Here's what I have done.I now own a decent enough 2 1/2 ton shop crane(engine lift) :cool: .....for $119 at PoopBoys you can't go wrong-legs can fold up-totally bitchin. Crank up the driver's side w/floor jack,works best for me,use them jacks stands!!,***slide the tranny under the crossmember(must be jacked fairly high,little diagonal wiggle,etc.-being careful of the actuator),lift the bellhousing end up onto the crossmember using brute force and ignorance to a degree.By that I mean don't have both feet on the ground.Use the crossmember as a brace and save your back.The tranny is fairly light.Don't forget that when you lift the front up that any gear oil in it will drip out the back....oh,boy can I tell you about that... Have the tranny a good few inches onto the crossmember,not just barely on the lip at the rear edge of the crossmember.Also once it's up there tie it off to the rad. support so it won't slop back at you when you're under the car. Then as the CorkMeister said gityoassunduhthere and benchpress-you even get to go one handed for a few seconds while you reach for the blocks you brought under the car with you to help prop it up for a second.I used two bricks-being of Italian decent-and then *could have gotten a jack to help* but muscled it up and in-being of Italian decent. ....like that but with happy results. Have those rubber mounting disks and bolts ready ...like you don't know this...e bouno riparazione!!! Ciao
  9. Yes Jesse,I've been meaning to cal but working lots of hours this week.I was going to call you tomorrow even before I saw this.Looks like there's a few things I need to do out east-your way.This Saturday doesn't look good unless maybe at night.Sunday is out. !!!!!! use the Tappan Zee and Rt.287 to 78 when going to Reading.
  10. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12173 Thanks for considering.
  11. Weather permitting as this will involve opeinng the garage door and removing lots of parts,etc. and sorting,tossing,boxing,inventory,etc..... Not sure of exact time but I can be there but I'm hoping for an early start.Anyone willing is welcome to stop by to help for any amount of time.Even if just to grab some FREEBIES and split.I'm ok with that too.A large part of the equation is getting the old stuff OUT....that I just don't need.Much EA81 stuff will be FREE.A good amount of EA82 stuff as well. Not this coming weekend,next weekend please. April 17-18 Milford,CT just off I-95 at exit 40 230 Woodmont Rd. unit 41-C Email for the easiest directions you'll ever get.30-60 seconds or so from the highway.
  12. Hey,I heard that! I've got a special dish for you Freak. I'll make some burgers and stuff just incase I suck. Get off your asses posers!!!!!!!!!! If you read this and live anyfrigginwhere near PA you should be going. Back to food....seriously now,will any of you eat venison if I make some? I'm not sure what's left.There should be some sausages and stew chunks.Might be some cubed stakes too.Those are sooooooo tender.I don't normally marinade my venison.Lots of folks think you must with a capital M but there's no bad "gamey" taste if you know how to cook it.I'll be happy to marinade some for those who'd prefer it.I would use white wine and maybe some spices....don't like the salad dressing b/s. If I have enough I'll make a "chili" which really isn't a chili but more of a pepper/onions/spices combo strongly resembling chili(don't call my chili a poser or it'll kick your rump roast).....I don't use cumin,or at least I don't in this recipe.So it doesn't taste like your local dog stand chili....it's freakin better dammit!!! See you there!
  13. Wow! Can I call you an idiot and not offend you?If not,then I won't.Just kidding,you know that...anyhow,WTfriggin eh? Get that girls number I'll be divorced when the '73 gets here.LOL!!!!! Seriously,I have just about every part you need for that car as long as the interior is saddle/tan and the body maroon.And the one I had only had 56k on it,also old folk owned.Grammas rule!!
  14. Good man!!!! Help thy neighbor.....do it all the time in times of need.You never know when YOU will be the one in need. So,about that turbo there....how's thier prices?Can't remember if I have your number but if you don't mind email it to me and I'll call.Let me know when is good,how late,etc. to call. Or email if you're phone shy.
  15. Weren't there some on eBay just a while ago??
  16. Correct,came from the Germans.Not sure if they had them in Stukkas...Subaru bought the right to produce or right to copy,etc.....all history from there.Looking forward to getting together. Vintage Subaru owners are the coolest people on six stars. :cool: Stukkas Over Disneyland
  17. Thanks Aldo!!!! Still waiting to see Wagon78.He says he's there,but I don't think he's registered yet. My '87 Turbo wagon might be there if my friend will take it.
  18. Brian,you're a GREAT service to this board.BUT....Please try to keep on top of things.I really appreciate your getting my stuff out but.I just wish I didn't feel so bad for these other folks who paid probably when I did or before. I'm no shipping lightening bolt here,I know that.But you kind of offered to be a supplier of new parts.This isn't like selling old stuff where we all kind of limp along at getting stuff exchanged.I'm not trying to be mean,just want you to realize that folks expecting new parts are often intending on doing their work in the very near future. Good luck,hope all is well.I'll try to give you some more business soon.I spend a heap of money on parts from my dealer every year for many cars I wrench on.I'd rather help you out than the dealer.You've matched my dealer's discount on most items.I really appreciate that,saves me time too!!
  19. Hi again Rick.Great talking to you. There seems to be some strange void from '70-72 for the old 1100,1300's.The "Star" series must have gone intergalactic. And that one in CT is going back south.Arrrrrrgh. Just remembered,we had a guy on here last year with 2 or 3 rotting in his yard...sorry.He offered them and there were no takers.All from '71-2 as I recall."FourGuzzis" was his board name.At least he's still got cool bikes!
  20. Any experiences are are greatly appreciated....as long as they are related to exhaust for EA82T's. I have a decent front UP pipe and Down pipe.Need the long one with the cat. and the rear muffler too. I'd like to go with a medium grade/cost product since I'll probably doing whatever my Turbo mentors tell me next year with the exhaust,intercooler,blah blah blah....but for now it's get me in the road again Sally. Thanks guys I'm absolutley open to buying any decent "spare piping" you may have "used" that just so happens to fit an EA82T'bo wagon w/SR5spd.
  21. Son,lemme give you a little advice.... DON'T ASSUME IT'LL BE THERE TOMORROW,let alone in a few months. Take it from experience.Learn from other people's mistakes.It's always best to make contact,at least leave a note that won't get lost,something like that. Let them know that whenever the time comes to just call you first. Good luck
