Just something ive done a couple of times and i thought was fun. Would like who ever would like to here. Brats , sedans, legacys whatever. Just show your apreciation for subarus. If your willing to throw candy thats a plus. My family goes to the windsor heights parade and its nice, not to long. Its a way to show off your ride and throw candy if you have people willign to do so. If no one is going to this year i wont participate. I dont think my car is ready but i would still be willing to drive it in the parade. Anyone in iowa willing to participate. If some people wanted to keep it a brat thing i would be willing to sit in a seat and throw candy.

Thinkin its all connected
The Dude Abides replied to The Dude Abides's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Sorry i didnt specify. 1988 subaru dl fuel injection 200k plugs, wires replaced. Fuel filter within the last 3 years, iac cleaned, ive used seafoam in the gastank within the last year. After its warmed up it runs better. Ive had some people say it could be off a tad bit in the timeing. Its always been sluggish from 1st to 2nd. Im thinking cap and rotor. It has the idle when warmed up where it keeps idleing then burping down over and over again. Runs tons better when its in the upper rpm band. -

Ok ive got a new problem with this now. It has a terrible stumble when cold. I almost got tagged in an intersection yesterday with this. If its cold and i take off it will just hardly move at all. It will buck and kick until i push in the clutch and give the engine hell. What else could it possibly be. -

Can you drink in the back of a brat?
The Dude Abides replied to milkman111083's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I dont know about other states but i just heard on the radio yesterday. They asked if you can get cited for drinking in the back of a pickup. The lawyer on the program said that because that is in no way connected to the cab of the vehicle making it accessible to the driver. It is legal to drink in the back of a pickup hence forth makeing it legal at least in iowa do drink and drive down the road in the back of a brat. So there you go. -

The Dude Abides replied to mcbrat's topic in Members Rides
You probally could get a battery box to put it in with a cover. I saw a guy do that with is wench battery on his traler. Had a cover and 2 notches on the side for the cables to go out on. Worked pretty slick. Looked Like This. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Taylor-48200-Odyssey-Optima-aluminum-battery-box_W0QQitemZ260387572380QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item260387572380&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A1171%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 -

I hope not my wife is going on vacation that week. If the van broke down they might not go. What would a bunch of subaru nuts do with a 300hp rally inspired car for a weekend. It wouldnt be pretty. -
