Sticky please??? Let's trash the other post.What do you guys think?Since it's not going to be in September.Let's get everyone on the same page here.Or edit the title and scrap this one. October,trying to plan a date.You guys prefer a Saturday,right?? THe 18th is NOT good for me.The other days are but depending on which one I may have to leave by 2PM the latest or get my eggs scrambled. THe Sundays look better but that's up to you guys. 4th? 11th? 25th? or into November with it? Last year's Nov. run wasn't so bad.Just have to dress a little warmer. **********UPDATE 10/18*************** Guys just a reminder that this is a family event.Let's try to keep the language in check,at least while the little guys are around......also,I'll be taking up a collection for the guy on the west coast's family.I hope everyone can at least toss in a little something.All funds go to Mudrat for donation. Getting close!I'll gladly hook up with fellow travelers if I leave on Saturday.Outside chance I may go down Friday night and hang with Skip and the gang.

Nice job! Also interested in what paint you used. Any prep like acetone wipedown or anything?

No,don't take that for anything....just messing with the king. John,doesn't matter to me.I had my limit and that was right where it was.If you bid more you'd have gotten it and I wouldn't have cried about it. My only bitch is that I just have to pay a few bucks more when the other bidder drove it up.That's life in the eBay game.I'm done snivelling....

Dealer.If they're too far then have them ship it.

Yeah thanks Brad......too bad you didn't just not bid then I would have gotten it at a nice price....but you got excited,I understand. I recognized your eBay name right away.Too bad you didn't recognize mine or check the list.Unless you just drove up the price for a friend....hmmmmmm. I think there might be one on the road here in the US.There was a guy who claimed to have the complete set up last year or so.But,the guy was a wongleflute and pulled it out from under me when my father inlaw died and I needed a day to get to things.He wanted $150 for the whole deal. I'll be putting together a 1600 with the dual carbs on a bench getting it ready to drop into my '78.

Ahhh Upstate NY.....homophobic rednecks in pickup trucks with insecurity issues. I'd give anything to change my skin color and blow by that guy with a white woman at my side. This is the typical backwoods(no offense to the Troy area)mentality we find in "the valley" here in CT.Every state has its spots but some states are completely covered. I'll bet that guy had a chain saw in that truck too.

HEY!!!!!! I'm in CT and would get that brushguard!!!! Email me please. moosens@yahoo

Brad,if you ever need a part number,etc. call Dan Perkins Subaru in Milford and talk to John in Parts. He is THE man.If he doesn't know it by memory he'll look it up for you in seconds.

I've been told that all weekends in October are shot but there may be a Saturday in there that I can make it. What are you guys thinking?Besides Dennis buying breakfast.

Sorry if I'm wrong.I could swear we had this discussion at least once before. Yes I've seen the passing light switch and know it is seperate.I haven't gotten to use one yet though.No more Brat.

Congrats Brad,maybe we can get a picture of ours.Not sure if you know but I have a turbo wagon from the southwest....not a spot of rust on the body,suspension,or anything.Just one spot where some ding dong must have tried to close the hood and left a tool there.The ear of the hood up by the driver's corner got bent and chipped the paint off about a 1 inch square,if that.Minor surface rust,will look perfect by springtime. Brings a smile to my face every time I walk towards it. Rusty Jones targets available.

Yes,wired to come on with the high beams. Yo!

Heads resurfaced,valve grind-3 angle,check lifters,what Miles said(cam seals w/O rings,front and rear main seals,idler/tensioner pulleys,Oil pump,Water pump,valve cover gaskets w/bolt boots)

Well,yeah,I suck for not going but I'll make the next one.Skip and Steve had a setback and we got together late in the afternoon Saturday.THey're staying across from my workshop and leaving for home in the AM We hung out,drank some Harpoons,ate,drank,then the boys went to bed early. Next one of these events I've GOTTA see Skip run.I'd love to see Oobnuker's SPFI with all that low end run too.

Impreza Sport wagon,something like a '97-8

Moderators,yet another thread to whack.

I'm bailing and Skip and Steve will probably not have time either.

OK the boys are safe but discouraged.

looking at the national radar it seems to be skirting the area we'll be in.

Talking to the wind here???

I need a copy of your XT's registration for the tax scumbags up here.If you have the old title bring that too.Thanks

I'll be heading out 287 over the Tappan Zee and looping NYC to Rt.80 west west west...not sure if I'll be with Skip and Steve or what. I'd like to get started from here around 6AM.I'd be in NJ in about an hour,in PA by 8:30 or so if anyone wants to hook up on Rt.80

Thanks guys....already thought of the slim jim idea but the car wasn't running so great so I'd look like an idiot trying to start it,etc....besides I just can't play the odds like that.Family first. Went to the local dealer that he also visits.He told the parts guy that he's moved.He's coming back for parts so the parts guy will get his address. I've given the guy the benefit of the doubt.I really doubt that he hasn't checked his voice mail.Good guy up to this point.I'm really feeling bad about saying anything about 3AM and whatnot.I'll play the legal game first but we all know there'll be some catch.The victim is often the loser in cases like this.That's when I'll get ugly,if that happens. I can't find the title but do have a Bill of sale rom the previous owner.Also,he doesn't have any Bill of sale from me so he'd have to forge one which would piss me off enough to make me pop. Thanks for the thoughts but don't feel anyone has to add to this thread.It's my problem,I'll handle it.I just want to see if anyone else has been dealing with him.If you have had any recent contact with him email me ASAP.THanks

Looks like it could be a wet one. You guys still going if that's the case?

Thanks for the advice but.....it's been dozens of phone calls and over 2 months since I saw my RX and my alloys(3 of one kind,1 of another)which is screwing up 2 full sets of alloys not to mention the stinkin' $300.He knew I was only going to be away for a few days and that I NEEDED the money when I got back. THe sockchucker is still around.He knows I'm looking for him.He may even see this post. You know people meet me now and think I'm just a decent,mellow guy(stop laughing!!).Like Eric Z and a few others I'm sure,I have a darker past that I'd rather not go back to with 2 kids,a mortgage,and somewhat decent life in hand.I could blah blah blah about what I might do or could do but why?Long story short,he'll be happier to deal with a police officer,judge,and prosicutor than me at 3AM.You get to the point where you realize that you're paying bills and struggling and to have this crap happen it really leans you over the edge.But for my wife and kids I'll surely try not to fall over.
