  1. Woah!!!!! holy cow! so when are you going to get it skip? I think I see a road trip in your future...
  2. someone did this to a 4wd justy and used the push button on the shifter to engage the e-motor. Said it was faster in the 1/4 mile with the e-motor on etc.
  3. do it or you'll regret it later. Trust me on this. If you lived out in Wa or something like than then it might be different but in KY i'd do it in a heartbeat.
  4. is the coil any good? are you getting power to the coil? As for eliminating the ECM? I bet you could. Think of it this way...how many carb. vehicles are out there that don't have a computer in them. Now just think of what it really takes to make a car run: Fuel (maybe you might have to rework the FP relay), power to the starter, power to the coil (for spark), air(if you don't have air I don't see how you could be reading this). i don't know how the gauges work but you could lose them in the process (if ecm controled) I just totally lost my train of thought... (wife complaining) you can see where I am going with this.... think it out and maybe you could overcome some of the small things to make it all come together.
  5. He is in franklin PA which is up rt.8 maybe 10 or so miles. It is old exit 3 on I-80 (not sure of the new #) The town that is listed on the exit sign is Barkyville (or some spelling like that)Andrew...watch out for the snow....it is snowing here right now.
  6. do you have emissions testing up there? If so you had better not touch any of those hoses yet or you'll wish you didn't. Don't get me wrong.....I'd do it too if I didn't have emissions here.
  7. I'll do anything I can possibly do to help this get off the the ground...but let me be the first to say that I am in no way computer savy (webpages)...anything else though please say something. I can and will help. Wagonsonly: You don't have to brag you know...
  8. I'd be interested in being in it too since I have the 83 and it only has 54k on it....and I did plan on bringing it to carlisle anyhow. Am i worthy?
  9. I agree with the others. When I was out there in my "new back then" 02 OBW I noticed it got sluggish and I had no idea why (stick) but then I really looked around a little and realized I was going up the whole time and didn't even notice it. I later turned on the GPS and confirmed my origional thoughts. Is he driving on snow covered surfaces? Doesn't sound too fun to me....(when you are really trying to get somewhere quickly) goodluck!
  10. I thought I was the only one that had withdraw. glad were back on.
  11. welcom aramchek! nice wagon.... Hey I grew up out in your area (Everett). My uncle used to live in your town and run an autoparts store...and I used to talk to a girl that lived/lives really close to the pizza shop on 1st street. Warm welcome to a fellow pensylvanian.
  12. dude...dave and melis are the last to get anywhere...trust me on this. The odds of them being last anywhere is about 100%. But to their defense....they did have a blowout on the way down last year though.
  13. personally I wouldn't worry about it if they can provide some documents like gary said. you know the saying....sh@# happens. I know someone who broke a t-belt and it only had 40k on it. Sure you hope it never happens but like I said... sh@# happens. if the overall cond. is good then I say try to get them down a little and take it. For reference: my folks bought a 99 sedan with 61k on it 2 months ago for $7800 cash/no trade at a mom and pop dealer. Drive it and if you like it beat them up a little on price and buy that thing and enjoy the snow for once.
  14. if you have a snafu and you need some assistance call me....I can be in lebanon in about 25 min. 717 572 1160 otherwise....have fun!
  15. ever consider a lease? I think subaru is still offering $199 (for 48 months) sign and drive till the end of the month. If you keep it under 12k a year it might be something to consider. I know if mine bites it this winter that is most likely what I will do.
  16. when I bought some newer soobs lately I was getting the "teflon paint protection" I can see a difference in my friends Honda (1999) (he has it on his car) compared to others on the road today and he doesn't have a garage. I was pleased with it on my old forester and Impreza. As for rustproofing....my Imp was gooey underneath from something and I didn't pay extra for it... factory? Realistically i prefer to undercoat myself mostly b/c i think I can do a better job than a highschool kid who really doesn't care about my car can do.
  17. is there a difference in cams between the 2.2 and the 1.8? I'm interested in this swap down the road in my imp.
  18. no. the svx uses some sort of strange gear ratio that isn't anything like the "rest" of the subarus use. I it is a lower #...I think it is a 3.54 or something like that
  19. now you have a wind deflector for when you decide to tow that big heavy camper behind the brat.... Just messin'.....looks great
  20. you folks missed a good one today!!!!!1!!!!!!! Ben and Dave had some really great runs in the morning and in the afternoon Dave had to leave for personal reasons so I took his place in the svx to say that it kicked (you know what) would be an understatement. Pics will eventually follow Oh and John in his "flying coffin of death" did really great too. He was the only one representing the old school out there.
  21. I think that all SVX's are LSD as long as they are AWD (don't forget there are a select few 2wd svxi out there)
