  1. i think thats most likely a dealer part, i've only got one of the 2 retaining clips ad everything seems to work fine.
  2. good to hear you got that stuff done. where's my mudflaps!! ***************!! just kiddin. i'll get them SOME time.
  3. hmm, that IS interesting, but then when the insurance company sees "TURBO" they get a 'rate-boner' im sure a n/a loyale would be cheaper. well.. mines $172 or something every 6 months. i take it back... mines $0, but the liability insurance is $172/6mos. lol
  4. Welcome aboard! Are you in Mount Vernon, WI? or another Mount Vernon?
  5. No real 'stories' per say. but the other night when it was snowing *(last thursday) i left work WAY late on my way to bowling league, had to put her in 4wd from the turn outta the parking ramp all the way to the bowling alley (10 miles?). i made it there in about the same time as it would have taken me if the roads were dry(combo of city and freeway but mostly city streets)... thats gotta say somethin! our soobs always seem to get us to where we need to go pretty safely. well.. i did manage slide the car around in this large rump roast parking lot, and on my way out of the parking lot , pop the clutch and slide around the fence and back into the parking lot via their OTHER driveway. it was fun.
  6. im gonna get some aux/offroad lights for my ride, see what kind of lights i can scavange from a junkyard and make some mounts. cuz im ghetto like that. maybe some old round bmw headlights or something.
  7. wow, if i'd a looked here first, i would have answered both the questions i asked in the pm...
  8. i dont know how it can snow for like 24 hours and the weather people say only 3.5" of accumulation by the airport (near my house). Everywhere else is like 6-12, my wife shovelled when she got home at 9pm, i got home at 11pm and had to shovel a new path to the house, probably 3-4" accumulated in that hour and a half. oh, what i did in my sooby: played in the snow
  9. Probationary till 21? you musta f'd up eh? haha. please do us all a favor and keep you rump roast clean! gotta be at the right place at the right time and move quick on them old soobs i guess.
  10. LOL, i dont think you'd lose your license over it, just a fine for improper registration, drill out the vin's and attach magnets to the back and swap them back and forth! i know he's travelled around the state and the midwest (michigan, indiana etc) for them. he seems to be in the right place at the right time. Mad craigslist skillz!
  11. but if you see a deal too good to pass up.. might just have to go for it, if its an old one.. just swap plates with your wagon when you wanna drive it, they'll see subaru and that its a wagon and you'll be good, just dont get in an accident! lol..
  12. will your dad insure one for ya? im guessing no because its all part of the 'growin' up thing. when i did my water pump on our outback, i did the rtv, i would say if you have some around you might as well do it, just takes an extra couple o minutes.
  13. dont sweat man, your car is sweet, when i was your age i had a 89 Olds cutlass ciera. it wasnt sweet. not one bit! 6-10 inches tomorrow! too bad you dont have that pump fixed yet!
  14. i have my own place and a secure job... i cant have more than 1 well... i guess i do have 2 but ones my wifes and i gotz billz 2 pay y0
  15. Wouldnt 96-99 have just about the same manual? if so.. have you tried searching for a 96-98?
  16. i washed my car today. one of the windows nearly was frozen shut by the time i got home. haha!
  17. 66 @ 2500? is that accurate? Wouldnt your speedo be off with the tire size difference. or do the subaru speed sensors work differently? http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html (need Java) not saying you are full of ************ or anything, just wondering. i cant wait till its warmer out and we get the 'summer' gas back so i can get a real take on my mileage now with the 5spd d/r in it. so far its still getting like 22.5mpg as before with the 3at. :-\ but then again, dumpin the clutch in 4wd in the snow probably doesnt help at all
  18. thats true, the only delay in the printing is when the page is flipped over, so now that i think about it, its probably like 3x for double sided when you include the turnover.
  19. fortunately i did them 2 sided, or it would probably be about 40% bigger!! the whole room stunk of toner after about 3 hours of printing constantly. Luckily no one needed the copier/printer, 2 sided printing takes 2x as long. booo. yeah a dealer havin all cars/models books like that would suck!
  20. I got annoyed by all those separate files, and for whatever reason the password didnt work so i couldnt merge them all. soi printed the thing out at work. not realizing some of the files were 500 pages long! I ended up with this! still need to create an index page for each section but you get the idea.
  21. in my case, going from 3at to 5sp D/r, no, it was just for the reverse lights that had to be wired up. and that isnt really THAT necessary but its safe to have them working
