  1. yeah my 91 legacy had that AUX jack, worked great with my Rio 500 until I upgraded to a CD player.
  2. did you replace the throwout bearing? Sounds like a bad throwout bearing to me..
  3. there is some guy back in Albany who has an early 80s style Toyta pickup, 2WD, wiht a cut-in-half beer keg for a hood scoop, and dual stacks...
  4. This is the Turbowagon (also called Turbie, Turd Wagon, etc..) lol instead of Herbie the Love Bug I have Turbie the Shaggin Waggin :brow:
  5. I've been there myself, was quite a while ago but I remember making beef tallow candles (still have them, AND the mold!) and going through the rebuilt fort. Don't worry about "not goign there again" they will rebuild it!
  6. My Dad spotted this on Craigslist, anyone on here? http://portland.craigslist.org/car/107714140.html
  7. I WANT to go down Sunday but I dunno if I'll make it.
  8. http://www.thepartsbin.com and http://www.rockauto.com are good places to look. Last oil pump I bought was for an 86 XT non-turbo with close to 300k on the ticker, I think it cost me $80 or so.
  9. IIRC it just said "flat six" so it's probably an E?30 or EG33... my bad... still bad arse!
  10. check this out http://www.dunebuggy.com/perl-bin/viewClassifieds.cgi?iForSaleWanted=0&iCategoryID=1&szStateCode=OR&szKeyword=&Submit2=Search+Now and check out what they want for it! It's like the third or fourth one down...
  11. hey is "cashingmystuffin" anyone on here? If not I'm gonna bid on it
  12. only stickers on the turbowagon are my "Oregon Rally Group" sticker adn the Autometer sticker that came with my boost gauge. The truck's gota ultimatesubaru.org sticker, a "Work sucks I'm going wheeling" sticker from the t-shirt shop in Moab, Utah, a "SCCA #4" sticker (it's on theback window of the cab though, wouldn't come off), and one that says "I'm tired of all the BUSH*T" lol..
  13. *plays "taps" off key* I hope you at eleast saved that big arse antenna! Oh yeah, adn I need that tail light. Stick what will fit in that box Shannon is sending us and I'll send ya some cashola when I get some. And I'll go buy a 40 of PBR and pour it out in honor of da wagon (But I'll be pouring it out down my throat :-P)
  14. 190k and some change on my 87 turbowagon, no clue how many are on the motor though (it's cool though cuz the serial # on the engine is all ones except for the last # is 5), adn I average about 18 up here, but I get 22-24 back home, roughly 25-26 highway back home, here I get about 23 on the highway. Stupid altitude...
  15. Not sure on EA82 engines but on EA81 engines there is a bung (huh huh huh you said 'bung' huh huh huh) in the driver's side of the intake manifold, pretty much directly above the intake port. I just unthreaded the bung and threaded the fitting that came with the vacuum gauge in the the hole (Bung hole? ) and piped the tube through the rubber plug where the wiring harness comes through. My boost gauge in my turbowagon is threaded into a similar bung that is on the back of the manifold, directly below the base of the throttle body. MAke sure it's in there tight, not tight enough to break off but tight enough that the threads seal. Not sure if the SPFI or carbed cars have the bung there, but pretty much if you either use a bung, or just tee into one of the vacuum lines that comes directly out of the manifold (Some of the lines only have vacuum at certain times, and I wouldn't use the PCV since you might get oil in the vac. gauge)
  16. All I have to say, is EVERY SINGLE TIME I have gotten something from John, or had him help me out with something, he's always come through for me, and I've known him longer than I've been on the board! lol... Sorry that folks are having trouble, but every time I've been down to his place he's been knee deep in projects, and as for stuff getting stolen, not sure what anyone else would want with a Subaru bumper, but there are some idiots in Eugene that will steal anything they think they can get $$ out of so it would not surprise me.
  17. hell yeah.. Hey Russ wanna go out to Chris's house and try and get the 4x4 running lol..
  18. hey, one thing youcould try.. When a car launches, the weight tends to shift to the rear, which in a RWD car is a good thing, but unless you race in 4WD, try putting some stiffer springs in the rear. This will help keep the weight on the front of the car during launch. See if it improves your 1/4 time...
  19. I live in Wyoming... We had snow the first weekend of JUNE! and our first snow of the "winter" was the last weekend of September (Well, Sunday Sept 30th and Monday Oct 1st...) but oddly enough it hasn't snowed since, and oddly enough the forecast doesn't include any... Hrmm.. (Doesnt' mean it's not colder than %*%*$ here though!!!) *edit* I'm a dumb %*%*$, that weekend it snowed was the first weekend of OCTOBER (that Monday was the 4th) chroist I can be a moron sometimes...
  20. Hey, Subarus do not leak oil, they mark their territory! (Much like Volkswagens..) WElcome to the board!
  21. Also, most turbo cars have zero intake-exhaust overlap, or close to it. N/A engines use the overlap for a "Scavenging" effect (The partial vacuum created by the hot exhaust gases expanding out the exhaust port helps suck in more air) but in the case of forced induction, this would force boost pressure (and air/fuel) out the exhaust port.
  22. I dunno about slowest, I've heard that Unimogs are pretty slow, at least the old ones. 5,000 lbs + merc 6 cylinder, I think top speed is like 59 MPH in 6th gear :-P (Read on one Unimog page "You will be the slowest thing on the road. Diesel rabbits and Geo Metros will pass you going up hills"
  23. what's this about? I don't listen to ©rap much but then again I'm outta 95.5's coverage area anyway :-P
  24. I dunno if we'll be down or not, I think Russ might be too hung over
  25. I got mine for $2 + $5 shipping, but the guy had it listed as "How to keep your SubUru Alive" lol (not like it's that hard to look @ the title of the book :-P) oh well, his mistake, my gain
