  1. I'd like to! Would feel safer w/the spouse driving that. Unless I come into a really low mi. 05 Focus wreck I could swap parts from. There is a certain attachment (not mine) to that car.
  2. They knew dude was from WI, they took his credit card no doubt, before work began. You can do whatever you want to it:grin: As long as it's o.k. to return for a core (They trust me, and aren't charging a core)
  3. Oh well- For future reference, I'm looking for a cheap dependable pizza delivery car, doesn't have to be too pretty, MUST be 5spd! Pre-1996 would be great (You know why in SE WI)
  4. Duuuu:slobber: I guess I did know that! Got a caliper ordered up, gonna pull that rotor and have it turned.
  5. Yeah..... It was o.k., spending the day with a Subaru, and a new friend I had it in my head, that hose was going---So it went. Pardon my extreme ignorance, Is there any possible way, that a heated wheel that won't turn could, even remotely, be something else?? Wheel bearing?? Again, pardon my exreme ingnorance. What is up?? If it is the caliper?? This one looks so much better than the driver side that doesn't heat up. Could there be a reason this side was bad, 2 times in 15,000 miles.? Driver side is original to the car. Something with the master?? Proportioning valves?? Just poor re-manning/fluke??
  6. You got me there! You should hear my ElCamino!
  7. So Fox- What up w/ the Legacy anyway? Is it a 5spd? What engine?
  8. I agree, hate a car I can't hear run.
  9. YaYa I know, the sporty factor, but I need to hold my smoke, and enjoy my coffee!
  10. Duuuuu...:slobber: Thanks for the visual reference! I may have been "a little":drunk: when I wrote that post, I was referencing the car I saw that day, I'm not too "up" on all these fancy brand names! W/ the crap I'm used to driving, if they're not too cracked, and hold air, they're GOOD!
  11. Hi ! Thanks, good to be back!
  12. That poor drywall mud knife!!! Nothin like the right tool for the job!
  13. Former owner who replaced caliper and bracket, paid an extra $30.99 for the bracket. (But he had the work done in a shop) Maybe I will just clean mine up real good on a wire wheel or sandblast. Opinions on painting it?? HAHA I "quoted" you on that!!!
  14. Hi Again! As of right now it looks like the hose did not do the trick, that wheel is still heating up. Think I'll be doing the caliper soon- put this in my thread, but no answer so far- Do I need to change the bracket with the caliper or can I keep it and just change caliper?? As for the Legacy- is it a 5spd by any chance??? I'm looking for a ride for my "significant other"- refuses drive an automatic.
  15. Seems to be just as bad, (not locked up, just hanging up) got pretty hot today after a 30 mile drive..... Sooooo.... can I use my old bracket with a new caliper or do I need to replace both at the same time??? Current caliper and bracket were both installed 15,000 miles ago, about 1 1/2 years old.
  16. O.K. After a loooooong absence, I think I should come back to this Hi! thing. Pretty much the only thing that's changed is that I've been "permanantly laid-off",and I've taken some computer classes. So, my Friends Gremlin is still my Avitar (I know what an avitar is now)- And I think I know how to quote stuff. #1 Collector is still waiting for Friend to finish rebuilding tranny (he had to have a new baby in there somewhere) #2 Collector is beached in my garage till I can get that pesky fuel line loosened from the carb. to change the filter. (Anyone know about 1986 Quadrajets? feel free to PM me-is it metric?) So------ Hi Again!
  17. I hope you are not grouping me in with a bunch of racists, (because I only know how to work on old G.M.'s,) as that could not be further from the truth. My Grandpa fought in WW2 and he is not a racist either- I own a Subaru, and I want to learn how to work on it, that is the only thing that matters here.
  18. Those are some sweet looking tires! Gonna let me try em out when we find a farm field (without cow poo)?
  19. You should watch who you call a hillbilly! They were Napa parts afterall, where are they from?? China???
  20. I thought we all had to use the "Subaru additive" Is this not an issue for my 3.0? Just for the 2.5 with the head gasket issues?
