Bucky92

You know...Bucky does the same thing whenever his plugs go bad...Lucky for me plugs are cheap ( yes I use NGKs ...in my cars and in my dirtbike)cause I have to replace them at the very least...once a year sometimes twice...depending on how much he is being driven...He has one cylinder ( number 3) that likes to run a tad hotter then the rest...someday I should have a compression test done.. I know this cause 1,2,4 plugs will have normal wear but 3 will be white white and the electrode will have 3 times the wear of the other 3. do you have a drop in fuel mileage? can you smell raw gas out the exhaust ( not heavily) These are just all the symptoms Bucky gets when that plug starts to go. I never felt the urge to delve into the problem further cause it never bothered me to much and he has been doing it since I bought him...just part of what makes Bucky ..Bucky:grin:

I feel for you Turbone..I truely do...and I pretty much know how you are feeling...let me know if there is anything I can do to help ya out...you have helped me dern near enough;)

I dont know what I have left for EA81 stuff...but in general..if you need any help..let me know.. I feel your pain..Subarus should not be on the back of tow trucks..its just a sin...and not a pretty sight. I hope you had AAA

Paulyburger...it looks like there is no interest anyway..so this is axed...I just really need some help with the brake work on Bucky..and basically if I cant get some soon he is going to have to go away. Thought that the only way it seems I can get any wrenching help it to provide food and drink. Oh well..and I still dont trust Rocky enough and he is no where close to being ready for carlisle...plus he is supposed to go to the dragon.. Anyway..we talked the other day..I know how you feel you know how I feel

:banana: :banana: Woooohooo Hildie!!!!! Bucky has a way before catching up...he is at 202,000 but he doesnt get driven to much till his brakes are fixed...Rocky the demon child...he has a LOOONNGG way..24,000 on the motor...167,000 on the body......and I right now would still trust Bucky till the end of the earth..and Rocky ..till the end of the pier:lol:

I believe we are planning on camping since I do have a sight...probably will be able to fit another tent on it if someone needs it..Tommy and me are campers but we dont have a cook stove...yet...but have everything else. We are planning on heading down Friday sometime. Tommy is not allergic to seafood but he doesnt like it

aww Turbone...you always make me blush:o ....I would be afraid to come out west...I would have to come home with at least 1 of everything..orwould end up not coming home at all:grin: Heck..with the headaches and ulcers that Rockys giving me...by the time he is finished I should be an old pro with these things;) And guys..could you just imagine what would happen...if all of us Ladies got together in one place at the same time..I believe it would be rather dangerous...with the combine knowledge of us all.

OMG Great pictures..beautiful countryside...I want to do that!!!! Looks like you guys had a sooo much fun..Thanks for the pics!

So what would it take to get you to come up here to Connecticut and help me do Buckys brakes ??

I saw that commercial to Mary and thought the same thing..But what I want to know is when are they going to do a commercial for some car item and have the female being the one in the garage all greasey with the busted knuckles...you know like "Real Women who love their cars use Valvoline" or something like that. And I told you about my meatloaf trick didnt I?? Are you coming to Carlisle Mary??

Just a question...is this one of those Blazers where you have to go in through the wheel well to get to the back plugs? I know it was some sort of stupid design with you had to do it that way or pull the motor just to change out the spark plugs?..I could be wrong. Also..think about this...the Blazers are nice..I know a few people with them...but if money is an object..and you have to do the maintenance yourself...the Subaru is a much easier vehicle to work on....Labor costs.lower..plus..most of the parts are cheaper too..down to little things like tires..If you go with an EA82 ..timing belts ..no big deal and who cares if you break one..its non-interference..no motor damage..and like others mentioned...gas mileage...big difference..A FWD EA82 with the 5spd can get into the mid to high 30s mpg and the 4WD ones are into the high 20s..heck my XT6s last tank was about 22 mpg...not too bad for a 6 cyl 5 spd full-time 4wd...and I did drive it like I stole it... Good Luck and keep looking...when the right thing comes up...you will know

LOL..yup..cut it out then treated it with 2 types of rust neutralizers and preventatives..then spray painted the inside of the rocker with rust neutralizer also...silicone sealed around the hole before putting the new metal on...then skim coated it with bondo and painted 4 coats of that Krylon Tough Enamal Rust Imhibitor paint...tomorrow ..once it warms up I will add some black sealer to the trim piece to keep any moisture from getting behind. And 86BRATMAN...My fiance is NOT the car savey person..I have always loved them ..but at many points in life I had no choice but to learn to work on them myself..I actually love doing it ...when I can on MY terms. And my bestest friend is the same way...she is always working on her Subarus too....LeakingOil;)

I know how you feel...I wish I could afford a better one...but I think with all this time,effort,blood,and money..hopefully I will have the show piece I am looking for..the one in Tampa...talk him down....switch to coil-overs ( at $400 a pop for air ..coil-overs sound very very good)..a clutch is easy!....OK so what would we have to sell to get you into that XT6;) I know how bad you want one. And..Guys Guys Guys...what real women want are POWER TOOLS!! .. Thanks for the compliments...I have so much more to do...I have to rebuild the same spot on the passenger side..its 1000xs worse.....sheet metal and pop-rivets are your friend

Thank You!! Hey..and check your PM box..I sent you something;)

Its official..the restore work on Damien...oops I mean Rocky has begun.. The first of many rust issues has been repaired..I didnt have to make this repair perfect cause the final painting of the car involves the bottom area Rhino Lined...so it will be textured anyway...I also couldnt resist and show off my new tool..my cordless impact driver:grin: Anyway....(also has a better pic of Rockys new rims and tires...dont mind the fact he is dirty) Before...drivers rocker by rear wheel: The pop-riveted patch...and my impact driver;) finished repair: And Finally...up-to-date pic of Rocky...yes I do love him...he just drives me insane sometimes

LMAO..Gee Thanks for reminding me..I havent even begun to get the XT6 ready ... Guess what I will be doing this weekend:lol:

Just alittle Bumpity Bump...all are welcome!

HAHAHA I lived for 12 years in Perry County..I am sure I know the roads you are talking about...they do make a fun drive!If I have Rocky I may be willing..as a practice before running the Dragon

I'm Game: Bucky..my 92 Loyale FWD 5 spd wagon...202,000 miles had for 4 years now ..paid $600 from a dealer..what can I say..I adore this car..old reliable...right now has no brakes but just wont give up And my Demon Spawn Rocky...my 88 XT6..Melis calls my orphan child..FT4WD 5 Spd..23,000(ish) miles on the motor 166,000 miles on the car. this is the only shot with his new rims and tires..I love him and I hate him..when he is running..OMG what an amazing car...when he is broke down ( which is sometimes more than he is running) I want to push him off a cliff;) Daily driver right now while Bucky is down

:lol: We could always poke some holes in it ....No Problem..thought you were in need and always willing to help out .

OK I will sweeten the pot..once we can set a date..I will get Tommy to make Beer..Dave has tried some of Tommys Beer OK and how about April 28th for a date..its the last weekend in April?

Heres pics of the offsets... side view rear tailpipe front..intake

I just went out and dug out Buckys spare...yes it has an offset...Do you need a muffler?? I could let you use this one if you need it...it would just need welded on since it was welded to begin with then cut off..no flange..I can get you a pic if you want

You made my day!! I love georges Goolad stuff they put on thier subs ( the veggies) ..mmm Havent had truely good food since I moved out of PA..let alone a good pizza!

+1 ...I either get "WOW I havent seen one of those in years" "I Have Never seen one of those before" or my personal favorite " I can't believe the thing still runs...those were Subarus biggest mistake..you couldnt give me one" all on the XT6..And my Loyale just gets laughs and giggles . These snotty New Englanders...but it sure is funny watching them spin off the road in thier Escalades and BMW Shoes ( whever they are..but they look like a shoe) while the very few of us old Subaru owners just keep truckin without many/if any problems
