I don't have a problem with noonish. Anybody else?

You can always park at my house and drive my imp. It's kinda fun (ner) now with new struts, lowered, and on the new BFGs. Very sticky.

I can help you with the brakes, I have extra time on my hands these days. I have a garage, I'm in South Seattle.

Not neccessarily old school, not neccessarily new school. Just get a group of USMBers together in a parking lot for a photo shoot and meet and greet. Any time soon, say 2 weekends from now? Sunday the 10th? NOON at Alki at the boat launch. We can retire up the hill to a local pub for frosty beers or root beers. There's decent food and pool and darts. You don't have to be 21 to get in during the day. We can also think about a cruise (yeah, I said cruise) around the Seattle area for some sight seeing. Maybe take the slow way to Golden Gardens? What's up? _________________________________________ Who's in? Zap Yo'J corvette Qman one eye scoobywagon kelsomcgrath 86ruguy Craig jbbvw a few maybes. Ed? ROb?

What Ed said. And sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you at the XMas tree run. 5 speed is worth it if your 4 speed is bad. You'll be pulling it to do a clutch, might as well put a 5 speed in its place. You can get a much strunger clutch kit for a 5 speed, you'll want it if you put big rump roast tires on it.

I'll have time this year. But not for the first part of the schedule. I didn't get to do any last year.

Welcome, cool read. In a 79 Brat? Only one answer to that. Yes.

I had a blast, that was just what the doctor ordered. . Had 3 lifted older gen soobs chace my slightly lowered imp up the mountain. Fun game of tortoise and the hair. Take off, wait up , take off etc. I managed to get it high centered when the snow suddenly got really deep and I fell thru the crust. Thanks Jessie for your patients in helping get me back on the trail. We had to dig him out twice too. I didn't feel so bad, a hundred yards up the trail, 2 jeeps and two big pick ups were also stuck and being winched out or tugged by the two MASSIVE Unimogs. It was too cold to hold onto a camera, but I took a few pics.

Welp. . . I'm out, I got fired today and will need to conserve all my funds for trying to make my mortgage this month.

Cool stuff.

Welcome to the USMB. I'm old school on Nasioc. My offer to let you use my garage is still open.

Send me back my Sonics, and I'll make the trip.

I get it now. You guys did call me within 10 minutes of eachother. Of course my phone's a pile of &*%# and I never hear it ring. When I checked caller i.d., I only noticed 360 #s and didn't look closer to see they were different. Sorry about that Breeke. But yeah, they're sold to Chad.

Welcome. But I'm confused. You called me about the tires, and are coming to get them this afternoon. But Breeke, said he had just called me at the same time last night. . . Either way, see you this afternoon Chad.

Sweet!, long time no see Jared!

No biggie, my feelings aren't hurt. My point was that after orgainizing a bazillion Subaru meets, usually about half of the folks who say they'll show up do. You guys LOVE to back out at the last minute, most of you in this thread have at one time or another. So, you guys will find that only 3 or 4 of you will drive a long distance to meet. The "RX show". I brough my impreza. It involved meeting at wongleflute's for burgers and then they followed me on some cool rump roast roads to go to another spot to meet and take photos. Have fun twitch. I'm pretty sure my lifted coupe is about the rarest Subaru on the planet. Should be one of 2.

Then can I bring my Toyota? See where I'm headed?

Hehe. My dash is not cracked. Can I still bring it?

So Brats only? Meaning 4 of you will drive X amount of long miles to meet and take pics? How about make it an ea81 meet? You could still park the Brats next to eachother and take pics? I'll drag my coupe up the hill. . .

Same for me.

Two dogs and a bicycle lock on the gate these days. That sucks Tex.

We have a Snap on 18v at work. That sucker will pull off just aobut any bolt on the cars all day long. Once and a while it won't, which means we have to use a breaker bar. It's no joke.

No Subaru to root for, but the HD Theater Channel is gonna begin broadcasting the WRC here in my area on Oct 4 at 8 p.m. HD! Hell yeah!

WE have several 96-99 Outbacks at the J/Y I work at. One has 322k on it, the others are at over 200k. These are cars that came to us because they were hit hard and totalled. Indeed. If the head gasket goes, change it.

Here, allow me. This is taken from another post I put up in the off road section. Here's a list of Stuff to have with you on any given day for wheeling. I took it from what's probably the highest authority when it comes to Off Road. B-4 U GO. Check these items so you may avoid making repairs on the trail. Engine oil/oil filter Tranny Fluid (90 wieght gear oil) Brake Fluid Belts All lights and turn signals Windshield fluid Radiator coolant Tire pressure and condition Tow hooks, front and rear Loose parts, ie: lugnuts, drive shaft bolts, engine and tranny mounts BARE NECESSITIES Bring this stuff and some ingenuity and you will get out of many trail mishaps. A buddy with either a history in long-distance running to go get help, or his own 4X4 Duct tape (fixes everything) Baling wire (prehistoric duct tape) Zip-ties (modern day duct tape) WD-40 (spraying under the disty cap helps start trucks that have been splashing thru water) Ratchet strap (reseat tires, helps hold gear in place) Tow strap (useful if you get stuck or need to be towed home) Leatherman type utility tool and or swiss army pocket knife Warm jacket (being cold makes being stuck and broke worse) First aid kit Jug of water Granola bar or candy bar (food is important to survival, helps you think straight) Fire extiguisher (tough stuff to watch the rig burn to the ground before you walk home) Flash light (hard to walk home in the dark after you watch your rig burn to the ground) Matches/lighter WHAT WE ALWAYS BRING If going wheeling for the day this is a good list of tools to bring Tool bag containing: Screw drivers Pliers (dikes, needle-nose, channel locks, vice grips) Hammer Wrenches Adjustable wrench Socket set and wrench Spark plug socket Test light Prybar Jack of some sort (high lift, bottle, floor- depending on the terrain and size of vehicle) Tire repair kit Electrical tape Allen wrenches Hack Saw PERSONAL STUFF These will make the trip more enjoyable Toilet paper Sunscreen Bug Spray Food and water (no, beer doess not qualify as water) Extra jacket Rags/towels SPARE PARTS These begin to add weight, but it's better than the long walk home Engine belts Axles, front and rear Spare tire Spare nuts and bolts that are common on your rig Fuses Radiator Hoses Hose clamps Electrical crimp kit Lug nuts LUBES Different goo to help you go Oil Brake fluid Gear oil Gas gasket seal or silicone Water WD-40 CAMPING GEAR Basic stuff for staying in the dirt Warm Clothing and rain gear Tent or good tarp Camping stove and fuel Sleeping bag and pad Cooler BONUS STUFF TO HAVE ALONG You can get along without these, but they are plenty useful for trailside repairs Air compressor or CO2 tank Impact gun and sockets Underhood welder Bottle torch for freeing up sticky axles (checking them before hand doesn't hurt either) GET OUT OF STUCK SITUATION STUFF Bring more of these the farther you'll be from civilization Winch or good come-a-long Shackle or two Spare cable Chain (grade 70) Snatch block Tow Strap Tree protector Shovel Ax Gloves Winch bag to put over the cable should it snap 2X12 or small piece of plywood for footing for the jack NAVIGATION If you don't like asking directions Maps GPS Compass CB Cell phone
