Nice to hear from you!
-
Ill see you there! I have made the trip for #3, 7, 10, and 19 if memory serves and never had a bad time. At #10 I had been puking for 2 days from bad Clam chowder for the first day of the show and still had a blast. I fully agree with you that: For your first show don't try to bring a car home but if you are going to try it you have the right idea doing a round trip flight in case the deal isn't good. Twice now I have done some sort of car deal on the trip. The first one I did was a logistical mess and I had some of the best members on this forum to help me. Then last year I did a trade and showed up in an SVX that I had owned for 6 hours and changed the radiator at the show. That car made it home no problems but it was a huge gamble. Times I have kept the trip simple with a solid EJ powered car that I already owned before and drove home after have been much more vacation like.

I have a Smart washer. Its not cheap but it WORKS. And it won't kill you, isn't flammable, and usually doesn't hurt the parts. Works great on aluminum engines, decent against carbon (honestly nothing takes carbon off pistons easily imo) Used with my hot washer I hardly have to scrub things anymore. Heres one in CL Colorado so you get an idea but I paid $200 for the last one and had to buy a pad and fluid to get going I am at about 300 invested and the fluid has to be topped off when the red light comes on occasionally but otherwise its fine. https://cosprings.craigslist.org/tls/d/smart-washer-sw-23-parts/6378177699.html https://www.grainger.com/product/52GZ77?cm_mmc=PPC:+Google+PLA&s_kwcid=AL!2966!3!166588258783!!!s!82495857477!&ef_id=Vd5RUgAABcyvta3D:20171220224224:s&kwid=productads-adid^166588258783-device^c-plaid^82495857477-sku^52GZ77-adType^PLA Be patient they do come up cheap sometimes! And they're not hard to fix or troubleshoot.

Where to get aftermarket airline T connectors ?

For the air suspension? -
Scion going away...
ShawnW replied to MR_Loyale's topic in BRZ and its Sister the Scion FRS/Toyota GT86
I don't know. That'd be about like not loving your wife anymore because she changed her name from Sarah to Tracy. Its still the same girl just a different name isn't it? -
When I did Vanagon Conversions at RetroRoo we liked using this to ghost out the CEL's. Part of the wires you are mentioning are covered by using this. https://smallcar.com/vanagon/subaru-vanagon-conversion-parts/interface-board.html You won't be able to cheat the fuel temp or fuel level stuff very easily during a conversion. The tach signal is correct. I feed it right into the back of the instrument clusters tach wire. On the Early 80's its yellow but I am not sure on the later 80's/Loyale stuff.

Burbing the cooling system
ShawnW replied to Sapper 157's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Agree with you on the newer Subarus but on the old ones the coolant shuts off to the heater with a control valve. -

Can anyone confirm that the spare on these has a TPMS sensor? My Toyota Tacoma does and I bet its possible but never was able to verify.

Ive got a set I would sell for that price.

1978 Subaru Brat Restoration
ShawnW replied to TheBubbaJoe's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Its a fine price based on your description. And if you want to do a project like that then the price is right. Go for it and take lots of pictures and post as you go here! -
They sell some boxes for hauling batteries in if that's an issue. I like the Outback better than the Baja but for this its a tossup on which would be better. The back of an Outback with the seats folded flat is actually larger than a Baja bed but like you said its inside the cabin. An Outback is a lot cheaper than a Baja too.

Did you ask Chase?

Hi from Fort Collins, Colorado
ShawnW replied to SwedishChef's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Im down in Denver/Westminster and I run a Subaru shop in Henderson that specializes in older Subaru's-and new ones. Seems like all I do all day is Subaru stuff. -
The gash looks like it is outside the bead area so it shouldn't matter. The bent "warped" rim I would at a minimum install on the rear of the car. They won't be able to balance it well with that.
