Bump - hoping for some responses. Kelly,Torxxx, Cougar,...? I could be eating by myself - maybe I'll go to Hooters, naw - the Alaska Bush Company?

If it doesn't work out, definitely go see Richie. He's top notch and a straight shooter.

Quite impressive. I'd be interested to know how much you've got invested in it when you're all done.

What do you expect out of that for performance?

Torxxx is coming down from Fairbanks next weekend, and Snowman and I are going to meet up with him. Inviting any and all other board members and subathusiasts to meet up also. Most likely Saturday night early evening - probably a restaurant. Open to suggestions and responses to let me know how big of a reservation to make.

Smoke or human urine will chase off most rodents.

With the limits of what may and may not be discussed in these forums, it's probably not a bad thing to be able to rehash old ideas. Besides, if we never explore new ideas, but continue to fix old problems the same old way, we will never come up with new innovations. There are always other options to explore.

he only factor for replacement may be that it might be cost prohibitive. Cats are notoriously expensive and most states with emissions testing forbid replacement with anything but new parts. With 200k on the clock, do you want to drop $300+ into the exhaust?

Looks like a lot of deals , but alas, nothing for the older generation. :-\

Very well could be a coolant leak of sorts. Does it happen when parked level of nose up?

Welcome to the board. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for here.

I'll be there.

I saw it on the news last night. It was definitely a subaru. And it held up pretty well considering.

Welcome to the board. Hope you find the rims you're after.

I heard an interesting lecture the other day that centered around the idea that we can all be linked back to about a dozen original "founders" of civilization. Be careful what you ask for.

It's still in better shape than some I've seen running around up here.

Don't most cars already have a cat? Maybe you need to replace yours.

I'll have to wait until I get home to listen to this one.

Location, location, location. I just got a good deal from Austin, and had another from Ed Rachner on pugs. The shipping boosts the costs, but they just aren't available here, so they are cheap at any price.

Yes, and with the right mods on them, they'll really scream. Not bad for a mom and dad rig.

Little leaks are pretty much par for the course. Keep after them.

I can't attest to the tranny you're looking at, but my wife and son's EJ trannys (a 5 spd and an auto) both walk up our driveway with no problems when the UPS man is sitting in the ditch in his F-250 with 4wd and a big V-8. It really pisses him off.

Welcome to the board. I'm sure you'll fid a ton of good info here.
