25 more days!!!!:banana: I dont know if Turbone has/is arranging any kind of MnG but I do know some plans changed..Looks like we will be doing a head gasket replacement on Psykos XT-T Anyway.. 25 more days till West Coast time

Hey Audio_file....Being probably the most sensitive member of the board..I really didnt see anything anyone said to be upsetting..The whole EJ thing is all what people are looking to do with the car. What I mean is ( I have a pretty good classic muscle car background) If you want to keep your numbers matching..then you stay stock..but if it really doesnt matter..but you like the look or have a sentimental attachment..but just really want to improve...then you do just that. IE My 83 GL-10 coupe..is going to be restored so numbers match...except when I can get everything together I am getting rid of the Hitcrappy and going weber. There will be no 4WD swaps..because in these parts..that car is a rare little gem.( but not on the other coast). Now say I had something with the EA82T ..with what I now know about thm..and this car was a DD and I need to depend on it..The first time those head gaskets go..its EJ time..But if I was just going for a restore and keep for showing ..then it would be kept original. I know how tired I got waiting for parts for my daily runners..a week wait just for plug wires. Now me personally ..I am not a fan of the looks of the early Legos for example..but the motor is bullet proof..I like the looks of the EA82 wagons better..the perfect car IMO would be an EA82 wagon with the EJ power plant..Its all just personal preference. I think the reason many suggest it ...is cause they have gotten the swap mastered and its documented on the board...and the majority asking the questions are looking to keep their DD dependable and its just second nature for us to suggest EJ swap..Or we get people wanting to get ( like mentioned) more power out of something..that can't just be done cause of the design of the motor.

Thank GD!!! I will probably be ordering that once I get word back that its what mine needs

Since my coupe is basically going to be getting a full on restoration ( since its actually a perfect specimen for this..good to great shape..but still needing things) I can't go wrong with the new bits:) It just kinda sucks being out there right now cause I can't just "run out and take a look" at things. I am just wanting to have it so its can make a 600 mile round trip journey a couple weeks after it gets to this side of the country...somewhat comfortably ( for a 25 y/o car;)) I was thinking the same thing about the ball joints and tie rods..since..I am told there is some play in the steering. I am having the bushings looked at too. I am just so happy that I am getting another of my favorite Subarus...Plus I might end up driving it more over the summer months this year with the gas prices the way they are..that little FWD EA81 has to do better then the new one...plus I have 10K miles on the new one already:eek:. I was also told it has been fitted with a full sized spare with matching rim ( oh its the little things:grin:) the next 3 and a half weeks are going to drag....then the 2 weeks it is in the hands of DAS. I have also been talking to my local all around car show people and they are actually going to welcome this car to thier shows ( they didnt want the XT6 there cause of certain reasons) So it looks like the little Blue one is going to have a following here.

Since my reports from the driver of my coupe said he thought the suspension felt bad..like dangerously bad..I today ordered all new front and rears for the coupe. First time dealing with Rock Auto..and I must say..I think I got a pretty good deal...especially on the front struts. Got a pair of Gabriel Gas Struts for $37 each..they were on close out and the last 2 in stock. Then I also got a pair of KYB GR-2s for the rear $27 each...all in all seems cheap..I also like how they tell you they are shipping from differnt locations and as of right now.both fronts and one rear has been shipped. Can't wait to get out there and actually work on the car myself..I feel helpless on this end..I just order stuff and send it west:grin:

This is the reason why I will let it sit in the camping area...cause I am tired of hearing and seeing posts like this...we know what peoples view is on them...its getting old now. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=86324

You know...the new design has been out for almost a year now..so when are y'all gonna get over it!!!!! Move on..its getting old now.

My Great Grandma is the only person in my family I ONLY have fond memories of...And even though I am an adopted kid and only saw her once a year I took after her...He would be cursing you out as she was giving you the shirt off her back.Even though she was a Southern Belle...she was stedfast and independant and proud..And BOY could she cook!!! I love my Great Grandmother..she taught me stuff no one else ever tried..and that was to be myself and dont be what others want you to be. I have some of her old china too.

I just live in CT ...I am not from here LOL.. I actually hate this part of the country. I was raised in Southern PA and spent much time at my Great Grandmother ( Bless her soul...passed about 10 years ago at 104) who lived in the Southern part of VA. If it was up to me I would live in the South...people there have a better outlook on life and are definately more pleasent to deal with..But there are some hidden New Englanders that I love!

I got my conformation for the cars and the campsight the other day. I am hoping to bring the coupe down..If I can get it to where I want to drive it that far..Otherwise ..I will bring the Imp and leave it at the campsight.

HAHAHA ..But I only have enough room in the garage for my Lil Blue One :banana: ( the 83 GL-10 coupe more :slobber::slobber: there) My neighbor .back a few years had a white AMX and everytime he would start it..it would give you goosebumps..Beautiful car..beautiful sound

OOOOOOOOOOOO :slobber::slobber: AMX..Now that would so ROCK!

PB Blaster is your friend:grin:...but you are in AZ so it may not be as bad as what us rust coast people have to deal with

I got the chicken and dumplins covered:-p ( oh crap..I just remembered that I guess I have to clean the house now:-\)

I was also going to suggest that we can look at all this next weekend when we do the body work on your car

I work graveyard..So this is my afternoon. Dual filiment bulbs will have one filiment come on with just the low beam..then the second comes on with the high..Just sounds like the low beam filiment broke...try swapping in a new bulb

One of the filiments in the bulb is probably burnt out

HAHAHA I need that shirt myself!! Seriously guys..you need to come to Carlisle!! I have a campsight that Backwoodsboy and Darlingchip...and Hatchsub and his GF ..and Tommy and me are going to share..Makes everything much more affordable....and we have WaffleHouse and Grits!! What more could you ask for when putting Subarus in the mix

Awww Kyle..he didnt wear our personal favorite shirt: Glad you guys had a good time and its nice to see Shannon and Ashley are actually still alive and breathing. Now y'all got to bring yourselves to carlisle!! Its not that far and its cheap to camp there.

Yup...$795 shipped...top load through DAS....definately worth it knowing it will be safe from deer etc.And with gas prices..couldnt get it here cheaper. Yup Shannon you missed alot..but alot have missed you. 1 Month away...Next month at this time I will be in the air on my way to the west coast. I have the little blue one entered at Carlisle 2 weeks after its due here:eek: I hope he is ready

No I would never ruin a perfect piece of Subaru that can help another live on..

its been sitting in storage for a few years and the PO is moving and didnt want to throw it away ..so its in my possession for now and will find a new home will it will actually be used.

And its a real gem being on the rust coast:lol:

Brought home a nice conversation piece yesterday..when I was trying to even up something. Please excuse the crappy camera phone pic but this is sitting in my garage for now: Its a NOS Brat quarter skin...FLAWLESS....even still has the tag tied to it ... Its promised to backwoodsboy and/or darlingchip first. I will get a better picture later..but..it is still so pretty..( that is just 2 pieces of masking tape on the side

You know I am so tired of all the ugly imp jabs:mad: Disregard my comments Tims..I dont know why I even bother coming on this board anymore. All that any of you seem to be able to do is insult..Must make yourself feel real big huh?? Guess y'all liked it better when I am driving complete broke down garbage
