  1. :banana: :banana: It makes you that special kinda mad when you find out what actually was the problem was something small and simple ...just ask Daeron about spark plugs:-p :-p :-p . Glad to hear you got it going and didnt give up on it.
  2. I second that notion...even though I still havent gotten it yet
  3. I have driven to Long Island for Hockey Games ( NY Islander Games ) Its not that far...and its worth it just so we can watch the fight ( BTW there is a creek close by is drowning is an option)
  4. So far we have... Melis and Dave : Junkyard Dogs Me....bacon jalapeno cheddar burgers...buns for both,condiments,probably grab a Veggie tray for us veggie kinda people. Tommy is grabbing some beer plus some taste testing of his home brew Matt ..Potatoe and Mac Salad Jess...B Day cake ( hint hint) Maybe some corn? ..snacks like chips and such..drinks like whatever..water soda...maybe some paper plates and stuff???
  5. The white connectors get brittle with age...they get all gooie and can short and just reek havok on your electrical system...( very common with the XT6s BTW)...adding a couple inches of new wire and a new connector usually fixes the problem..Double check the usuals also..wires grounds battery... Just on of the options...what is your volts reading right now..back to 12V+ ??
  6. Jess ..you have been given B Day Cake duty ( since someones B day is close...and she makes the most awesome cakes!!) otherwise..drinks and snacks..paper plates and stuff..Matts getting the Potatoe Salad and Mac Salad.
  7. I know how to hog tie:eek: ..and Tommy is the picture taking stealth master
  8. Matt you should know not to give us any ammo:lol: I dont want anyone having to rush..so figure..whenever you get here...early afternoon 1ish?? And Jess...John wouldnt want to be with you if you werent so gorgous!!!!
  9. No No No Jess...If I have to have my pic taken...and I look like a beached whale or a thundering wildabeast right now...you can have your cute little shelf in pictures:)
  10. Boys Boys..now now...no fighting ...unless we are there to watch and can wage bets:grin: This sure sounds like it is going to be one to remember...bring cameras!! Going to make a nice group shot...and maybe see if my neighbor will let us use his little spot of land to get a car group shot..
  11. I am a puralator mostly...OEM if I am lucky...I have had problems with Fram...not engine destoying problems but others. Plus sometimes I am not the greatest on the 3K mile rule...and I am not saying 3100 miles..itis 4K-5K...mainly with Bucky cause he leaks and lives on seafoam. I guess I am partial cause even back in the day with my Mustangs Fram was a bad word..but look at the oil conflicts..I run Castrol GTX in Rocky cause he doesnt leak...Bucky is whatever is cheapest cause he does leak..its all personal prefrence ( I just wont ever allow Valvoline in either on my cars) See below ....tyhats what I had happen ..not once but twice from Fram
  12. I am soon going to have to gather a total head count only cause I am ordering the burgers...and soon have to start the who is bringing what stuff .. I may be cheaping out some cause I am trying to save money to go to the Alcyone Dragon Meet 3 weeks after this. Lets see..right now the definates are: Melis ( and the girls??) Dave( and Nate?) Matt and friend Scott ( from XT6.net) John and Jess ( Backwoodsboy and Darlingchip ..these 2 are awsome!) Will ( local friend with SVX ) Moosens ( as long as he is rested enough..we understand working the 3rd shift thing) Andy ( has it on his calender) quicksilver ( noobie from Jersey) Then a couple maybes: nipper ( I been to Long Island for Hockey Games..its not that far;) ) hatchsub 75 Subie bepa Wish the Whirlys could make it..they have the info but comeing back from getting thier new toy..its alittle out of thier way .
  13. Thats how I always install mine..flat to the pan..and I change them every 3 oil changes.
  14. My EA82 has had a small misfire since the day I bought it 4 and a half years ago...I have one plug ( #3 cylinder) that burns hotter then the rest..I have just learned to live with it and change the plugs once or twice a year ( that $10 doesnt really hurt the wallet that much ) and I have put roughly 45,000 miles on it that way...I will look into it when the head gasket goes which should be any time now . Sorry to hear you have such problems with your car..I wouldnt junk it though..if you have to get rid of it ..sell it..someone else wouldnt mind doing the 5 spd swap. I do know how you feel...my XT6 drives me nuts ...and it only has about 28K miles on the motor..between electrical gremlins and vacuum leaks and rust...and my poor poor wagon still needs so much more to make it a decent daily driver again..but I havent given up on either...I understand your frustration though. Have you tried new plugs wires AND cap and rotor yet? And it doesnt throw any codes does it? I can't help with the AT cause..to be honest ..I cant stand ATs ..for the reasons ..like what you have. That motor has far to few miles on it for the misfires to be anything much more then something small ..like vacuum. Sorry for the ramblings ..
  15. Check your PM box...I will send you the addy so you can mapquest:grin:
  16. Paul..check out Connecticut Subaru Crew ( connecticut-subaru.com I think) TONS of meets all over the state..cruise nights and even some looking for off-roading adva=entures..yes its alot of the WRX kids but they really arent that bad. Most want to see theold school cause they never have. They are bugging me to bring the XT6 to the Kent Falls meet July 1st:) We are also working on another Marcus Dairy meet;)
  17. You obviously havent heard the one in my Loyale then ..How do I know its my throw out bearing making the noise?? when we put a new clutch in 2 years ago they gave me the wrong bearing..I had no choice but to put the old one back in...and the old one had just shy 200 K on it. Makes all sorts of noise;)
  18. Heck ..my little E Machine is 3 years old and still runs tip top ( it helps when your other half is a puter genious though) . Welcome back to the world of the ....living??
  19. We will make an exception for you... I ordered a Hillbilly Golf set ( from the bay of E vil )....Melis does your horse shoe set have the poles?
  20. I dont remember..he might not have or it was still fermenting....Hey!! he has a Mullet...if he couldnt make beer you know he'd be making Hootch!
  21. New Update...I was just informed that Tommy is brewing beer....He is expecting supplies tomorrow and should have a batch ready in time... Dave has had some of Tommys brew before..and he is still living
  22. at least 2 Spark...I have 2 subarus now Thank You!!!
