Oh no. Is it really an autotragic? I is just messin But nice HIDs Rob! I want some! Do tell the secret! Tom - Nice! Those are great! They look a little more white than mine... maybe mine are 8000K (more blue, less light)

Congrats I cant wait to see a thread about it!

Ill be in a Subaru so I wont park away from everyone in a Pontiac... I dont know exactly where you wanna be though since I dont know where the "Canadian" end will be... but Ill save you a spot... Ned will mark it

That lever on a manual shift set-up should always mean that its a 5 speed dual range (unless its a 4 speed d/r ) I speak of the GL series though as Loyales had P/B 4X4 (4-hi) and Im not sure about the other models, but I know from looking at that, its a 5 speed d/r

Thats a d/r 5 speed. Its just missing the sticker.

I have no issues with my battery or alternator... I have an aftermarket battery, but it doesnt have any issues. As for a how-to... Hmm... Its pretty much plug and play really.. I have ones that arent connected to my battery, they use my stock wiring to power a box, which powers the light, if I have that correctly... I gotta look. It was super simple. The guy that was "showing" me how to install them spent 2 hours (while I waited) on a 4Runner, then I brought mine in, and it took us 20 mins to do both lights (including searching kits for the 9004 kit he had bought)

Ill join in. The Troutdale Chevron at 10am works for me. I can also be very flexible with it because I dont have any plans for that weekend other than WCSS I think itll be me in Ned and Nick in his 1995 Impreza, not sure if hes keeping it though.

How far from CDA are you? I think Twitch de la Brat and Girlwithalegacy will probably be coming...

Yea I think Ill wait to comment when someone else starts one. Im a terrible organizer, plus I probably wont be doing as much wheeling as everyone else because Im stock height.

Boom Im in Is someone going to start a WCSS mud/wheeling thread in offroad or should I do that?

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=121106 has all the info you need.. People arrive friday, August 26th but the show is the 27th and 28. http://www.westcoastsubarushow.com has information too. Not much convoys for me... Im 60.0 miles from my doorstep to the fairgrounds :/

I love mine. 6000K HIDs. I can see SOOO much further. The only thing... NEVER leave them on... When you shut off your car, and then start it again, occasionally, one bulb will not work, and all it takes is flipping the lights off and on and then it will warm up... oh yea... warm up, it takes about 5 seconds to achieve full brightness. I warn because I have gotten a ticket for insufficient lighting even though all I had to do was flip the lights off and on Id just forgotten to do it.

Yours is first on my list because I know your work and would trust it under my hood, but if its not available at the time or anything I would look for another one.

Its awesome... But, I have the cheap-o ones that are blue on low and yellow on hi... I was told that they last longer and are cheaper to replace :-\ I want to go with the real ones, but I have to have the funds first On that note (and back on topic) I taped the confirmation on Ned's hood so he would feel better: 1 driver side tie rod end 1 Passenger side tie rod end 2 inner tie rod ends 2 steering rack "bellows" (boots) are on their way to my doorstep! GD has my wheel bearings, and I will have tires soon... Ned will no longer be "crippled" in the garage! :banana: :banana:

Awesome. Im running HIDs too

Thats exactly what Im hoping for since I dont know when the SPFI engine will be available.

So it was a new pump Sweet, Im not crazy haha. I plan to do the swap to the SPFI block and hopefully it wont have ticking lifters... I know I use my manifold, if I only use the SPFI block and keep everything else from my engine, I will put new lifter buckets, the springs and rebuild the lifters (have Mizpah do it) and a new oil pump, just so I dont have to deal with it again for awhile.

Id be careful... Seems like hed go through extreme measures... Maybe hi-jacking a helicopter or something? haha

To be honest, I cant remember, I remember doing the job at GDs house, and cant remember if we used a new pump or the same pump with a new gasket/seal... Its no big deal really, Im just curious how it suddenly just developed when I usually hear that the car was starved for oil or something... Because even though mine has a HG leak, it doesnt lose enough oil that I would have missed it and driven with no oil

What are those? Its not hurting the motor... so I can just wait til I get an SPFI block? and then *cross fingers* that the new one has no ticking lifters, which like I said, sounds like it purrs like a kitten

Totally misunderstood the reply the organizer posted. Just re-read it, thought he was saying that if GD was a member, he had to enter it himself. I shall vote for the hatch, thats a sick soob Rob!

And eventually when I have the funds, he will get the Frankenmotor and an AWD swap, 5 lug swap etc, the works... I suppose I will just put up with it til I buy the SPFI motor and put my manifold on it and the one I have my eyes on purrs like a kitten so Im not worried about it Its just annoying cuz I swear it echoes in my garage.

Thanks! I should have added more information. I use the Chevron oil.. 10W-30 and change the oil at about 2200-2500 miles (I tend to shift at over 4k rpms)

On start-up the oil pressure sits at "45" on the gauge and doesnt seem to drop...

So Im reading that "lifter tick" comes from starvation of oil, and can be caused from low oil, and the oil pump, cam tower o-rings etc can be to blame... I started Ned today, and hes got lifter tick... and I was like what the eff so I checked the oil, and its right above the Full mark... So I let it sit for about 2 hours, came back, checked the oil, and boom, still perfectly above the full mark... Started him and still got the tick. GRR I realize that most would say "rebuild the lifters" but Mizpah (spelling could be off) just did that in October or November I believe (I put them in at GDs house around that time) What should I do? I let him run for about 5 mins, and still got the ticking, should I take him for a drive and see if maybe the oil just isnt circulating well? Oil pump I believe was brand new at the time too. With new mickey mouse seal and that red sealant (not good with names here) Loctite 518 maybe?
