  1. Cool man it looks good i hope you enjoy it. Im sure Ill be seeing ya crusin around town:)
  2. Is that the same hatch thats been for sale on HWY 99. Its pretty nice but they were asking a lil too much for it.
  3. Damn brother I miss you man and hope you find a good subi mechanic. Sucks the new (used) 2.2 didnt work out ARGHHH how frustrating. Keep lookin and that brat will be rollin soon hopefully:headbang:
  4. Somewher on the coast woul be way cool:banana:
  5. Just curious if youre on here. I was cruisin down Mill Plain this morning and saw an 83-84 silver coupe totally stock (with rear side badges) get off I-5 and head west on Mill Plain. So I got up next to it and the guy didnt even look over. I was gonna try to give a thumbs up but then he turned. Just wondering if youre here, and if if you are would you sell me those badges:clap:
  6. IDK how to check the air/fuel but sometimes since this has been happening my exaust somestimes kinda smells like jet fuel ( when idleing). I think its wierd cus ive never smelled this in any subi ive owned and I do have exaust leeks but its totally different. Does that make sense to anyone else or am I crazy, or it might make sense to be a fuel issue. I usually run 76 mid grade (plus) gasoline.
  7. Checked timing by sound played with the distributor cus I dont have a light. But still rockin back and forth idk?
  8. Haha cus this is my united states of..........australia. I actually really like that song(the regular version)
  9. Just changed the plugs and connections all good but still idleing kinda rough didnt wanna mess with the timing it doesnt seem to be the issue since it only is rough when idleing not starting or like issues ive had with bad disty n timing in the past
  10. OH ya its an 83 coupe ea81 with webber carb.
  11. Thought this was a pretty cool video of lots of subies and funny sounds and music.
  12. So this morning I noticed sitting at a light when idleing my car is at about 900 to 1000 rpms and its normally very smooth at 700. But also my car shakes back and forth like a hot rod lol. When I turn it off it kinda sputters too. Its never done this and just wondering if anyone can tell me why and what I should do to get it back to idleing smooth. Thanks..
  13. Good luck with this Spencer it sounds like youll be busy for a while lol. When you're ready to hit some trails gimme a call. And if you need anyone to hand you some tools let me know. You know im pretty good at that:lol: Im glad to see youre gettin your Toyota fix on.
  14. Thanks for the input Texan, and GD I'll tell him about your offer and he should be able to trialer it down to you. I'll let you know. Thanks again.
  15. Thanks alot GD I'll let him know if he wants to bring it 200 miles west, it would save him money and i know it will be done right. By the way im gonna give you a call pretty soon if you still wanna help me out with some work I still need a gas tank though.Oh btw is that if the engine came to you or the whole car with engine in it and to be put back in by you.
  16. My brother in laws motor blew in his 02 WRX. I own an 83 coupe and have always had older gen subarus so I thought I'd post somethin here to see if anyone has any advice on if it would be cheaper to get it rebuilt or replace the motor all together. He lives in Kennewick,Wa and took his car to 2 different shops today and they both said just from hearing it run that the bottom end was bad. While at the second shop the car stopped runnin all together. He was quoted about $400.00 in labor and $2200.00 for a rebiult motor and $3000 something for a new one. That seems pretty high but I was wondering if anyone knows of a good reliable honest suby guy around Kennewick or what kind of realistic prices he wold be lookin out for . Any help on this would be much appreciated.Thanks.
  17. If you want a real bad rump roast sounding exuast ( its kinda loud though) ask scoobyclimbs >He's got a mini cooper muffler alta from PERRIN R56 I believe. But I think its the best sounding older subie with the EJ22, mabey he can help out.
  18. Yes Turbone is right thats my coupe with the 15x7 Superlites. I got it from Zap about 2 years ago.
  19. Very nice indeed its the first lifted coupe ive seen other than mine,Its pretty awesome.
  20. Thats awesome and still with the 4 lugs on redrilled im guessing . I've never seen this before whos is it and how big are those wheels and tires?
  21. Looks awesome Greg, I love your hatch it's such a beast and that Perrin exaust sounds so tough
