  1. When are we gonna get your wagon back on the road?
  2. When I chose my snow tires, I also wanted to be able to use them in the RallyX in the Summer. Dual purpose. I chose Good Year Ultra Grips. http://usmb.net/gallery/zapar/impssnows1 1. They came studded, but I pulled them before I put the tires on the car. 2. Last week's HP Xmas tree run showed that they make my 97 impreza L do better in a foot and a half of snow than a lifted/mud tire wearing/lsd having 86 hatch back. Big time control and traction. http://usmb.net/gallery/treehunt/DSCN1483 3. They grip as well in the rain as the wrx re92s that I sport normally. 4. I only entered one RallyX with the imp this year, but managed to win the Open Class with them when I did. 5. 60 bucks a tire or so. Got them at Les Schwabb, so they have that baddass LS warrantee. 6. I've beat the Hell out of them on lots of gravel roads at 60-70 mph, and they have held up fine. Stick like crazy on gravel, great cornering. You can't beat that with a bat. Hammer can't touch that.
  3. Yes you do. Had the pleasure of talking a LOT of smack the night before the Apple Cup to a couple of die-hard cat fans. Got to rub it in just a little afterwards. GO DAWGS!!! . . .to have a cat sticker on your car.It sure is here in Seattle.
  4. Free shipping no tax. Cuz they only go for 20 bucks apiece. 11 for the cheap ones. Man told me once, "If someone sells you a diamond for 10 cents, chances are, it isn't worth a dime."
  5. Doesn't matter if he does say you'll get a different item that the one pictured. When your order arrives, it had BETTER be struts and not shocks. THat's friggin false advertisement.
  6. I still wouldn't see the point. An ea-81 will handle like an ea81. 4X4 is in the car and on the mudflaps for a reason, for offroad. Lower your honda. Won't dislike anybody for doing it, but won't get it though.
  7. Cool, good and close. We go up there all the time. Shoot me an email, maybe you can stop by this weekend whle Dante is over putting the LSD in his wagon. Maybe we can talk a couple more of the guys into showing up for a while too. Let you put some faces with names. Eric
  8. A good magnet on a stick never hurt either. Makes finding that tiny little screw much easier.
  9. Thanks for the comments and compliments. hmmmm. . . Had thought about approaching SOA. . . hadn't thought about asking for a job filming. hehe In comparison, I've sold nearly a hundred copies of parts 1-4 and the best of. 5or6 or the Subarubicon dvd. . . I'm not so happy about. It was a really expensive (for me) video to make, more than 2 grand total.
  10. I also got to meet the owner of the car at wcss5. Did indeed think he was a pretty cool guy. Like his car, but you know me, I'm adamantly against the lowering of ea81 4Xs. Talked him into parking next to me so we could get a comparison shot. http://usmb.net/gallery/zapar/soobystuff_101 Also shown in the photo is the Fox's roof of boom. Or what I'd like to call. . . the assend of gas cans.
  11. I lived in SLC for a year or so. Liked it cuz of the mountains so close, lots of passes to explore. I could drive to 11000 feet in an hour. Left there with a really bad dislike for mormons/morons. Made a point of visiting the big chuch square to get the history straight from the morons themselves so I could make an honest opinion. Opinion being these people a complete suckers for believing the word of two brothers on *payote who say they ran into an angel in the woods. Read a good part of the book of moron while attending the ritual on Sunday morning, friggin crazy stuff in that book. Went through the SLC phone book. There's more moron churches than 7/11s. . . Harsh. *(my version, no other explanation) But yeah, SLC is a great place to own a Subaru if you don't mind rust from the salt.
  12. Thanks, appreciate the honesty. I tried to keep the rallyx stuff to a minimum, but wanted to show another end of the Subaru offroad spectrum. . . As for 1-4 + the best of 1-3, I'm not so sure I'll ever be selling copies of those again. Probably just retire those and keep them for personal viewing. So if you've got them, hold onto them, more copies won't be available. When I get around to finally finishing up the Subarubicon digi version, I'll release a few copies of it and retire it as well. The interest in it was far less than I'd thought, way less folks signed up than I figured on. Don't think I've sold more than 15 copies of the vhs version. The idea of spending 6-8 hours to edit it all down again to get it onto dvd so 5 people will buy it doesn't motivate me so much at all. (little bit of kicking myself going on for buing a new computer so I could make dvds and pay for the new computer)
  13. Sorry no wagons in these pics, but here's ones I've done with the PK/BYB kit. (all but the white hatch and xt, white hatch got lifted after I sold it to a local) http://community.webshots.com/album/37919799NGXlOA I see you're in WA, what part? The Hatch Patrol (subaru offroad club) is centered right here in the greater Seattle/Tacoma area. Maybe you could meet with a couple of us and get a look at the kit yourself. I live near North Gate, there are no less than 6 lifted soobs within an hour's drive of me. 3 within 15 minutes. Eric Zap chairotsu@earthlink.net
  14. I talked to John last weekend, he told me he was about to get to it with yours. Promised me you'd be a happy man when done. Psyched to see it finished.
  15. Curious, did you guys like the crap I used to fill the rest of the tape?
  16. It's tough to plan a month a head near the Holidays. . . If I can make it, I'm in buddy. You pick a date, we'll work with you.
  17. Today's group shots of all the rigs in the snow is good enough to make it, just wait till someone posts it. I only took regular film type photos.
  18. Was a big BLAST! Can't say I've seen more Subarus gathered together very many times. We had 23? vehicles in all. The group photo is gonna be a good one, lots of people. Nobody broke bad. Did lots of deep snow up hill stuff. Lead the way with the impreza for a while, it handled the snow like nothing. Had a harder time in the hatchback to be truthful. It has a lift, cooper mudders and a lsd. Will tell more later, but for now, yeah what a good time. Good to see and meet everyone. Zap

  20. My 80 DL hatch had the round head lights. Had an 1800 and a single range.
  21. Mark's OK, I don't care what they say about him.
  22. We're not like that. Nobody's banned. (Otherwise, volvos woulda been banned a long time ago) Be able to get yourself out of being stuck. Bring tow ropes, a come along, and a shovel, maybe a couple of small pieces of plywood. Know when to say when.
