I would think it would be time. As it is my 2005 Baja with 144K is nearly ready for new ones. Careful to get the right ones, you may need to play with the model year to make sure they send you the right parts.

Being in Canada... you will love it in winter.

The first thing I would check is the plug that goes from the seatbelt to the car wiring harness. Hopefully you just unplugged it. Not sure if that would cause your issue, but its something free to check.

I think the earliest I have seen an airbag is a 1993 Impreza or a 1992 Legacy

Superior Soobie and Import (on Mcloughlin) is good as is Superior Import Repair www.fixmysuby.com (on E Burnside and NE Sandy)

I would imagine that you would be able to get one of the glow in the dark emergency pull cables from a newer model car trunk (maybe find a front end damaged Subaru in a junkyard and go to town on its trunklid) You could then hopefully find a way to attach the cable to the existing mechanism in the hatch, drill a small hole and have the small pull handle sticking out into the cargo area on the inside of the hatch.

I had to have one made for my Baja. All I could find was the seats, the frames are near impossible to find. I got mine made here: https://www.facebook.com/infernofab

Well it looks like you bought the general lee brat, so that puts you in Oregon or Washington probably.... in Portland 2 good places are: Superior Import Repair www.fixmysuby.com and Superior Subie and Import https://www.facebook.com/SuperiorSubieAndImport both are run by local USMB board members and I would send a friend to either one. Another decent place I would consider going is Mt Tech Subaru in Oregon City, though I have not used them personally.

When I webered I made a steel block off plate for all the EGR stuff. Just use a scrap of steel, use the gasket as a template, cut out the shape, drill the holes and bolt it on. I was able to fab the parts on my coffee table in my dorm room that I lived in at the time.

You may have better luck having a convertible top / upholstery shop make you one from scratch.

Wow, I didn't know people still had myspace pages.

As of right now, no. No seat belts either. They are just in there for camping / car show use.

That would be my Baja (2005 Brat) And Brian, I too got a little choked up when Dan started talking about Ed, he truly was a valuable member of the community.

I recognized you... eventually after you were standing there right next to me for a bit. So ya, its understandable. On the note of the show, its the most fun I have had at a WCSS in a while. Starting it out in a caravan always helps.

I would think we will be in Tacoma around 12:00-12:30 assuming we don't get stuck in Ft. Lewis traffic.

As far as I know I am the first documented case of physically putting in Brat seats to a Baja. I had a (better than) replica frame built and attached it with a turnbuckle on each side to the factory tie downs.

"Leaving it disconnected is fine too.....I think like that it won't ever turn on again" Maybe that is why the EGR light never worked in my GL...

I would expect the POR-15 stuff to last way better than the Harbor Freight stuff. I have used Herculiner myself in the past, but sold both brats that I used it on before I could really get a good long term report of how it lasted. Given my experience with previous harbor freight stuff I have bought.... get the POR-15 stuff.

Yes, I would suggest trying to be self sufficient. There will be food vendors, but there will likely be a line, they will not be there 24/7 and they could even run out of food if its busy. You don't need a tent if you have a wagon and a small air mattress. Flashlight is a good idea as it may be a walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Glad someone on here got that BRAT. I saw it on Craigslist, but really don't have anywhere to keep it or work on it otherwise I would have called them the second I saw the ad. Nice that it has Cruise and AC. If it had Power Steering it would be awesome.

There are several things to know about XT6's... one that I am aware of is this.... it uses a special "cybrid power steering fluid" Not just normal power steering fluid or ATF (most Subarus use ATF) Its a fairly rare car, not many left. Very low drag coefficient (even though its a big square wedge its somehow aerodynamic)

Or just wants a free RV.... Wonder who still is owed bumpers...

If we hit Tacompton, I agree Krispy Kreme off 5 would be the best bet so we could go something like: I-5 North to 16 across the narrows (there shouldn't be a toll going this way), to 3 north to 104 and then we would have the choice of 19 or 101 to 20.

I'd say its pretty rare nowadays... especially since its not rusted away given how rusty cars out in your parts seem to get. I think gen 1's over the last few years have officially become "vintage" and are gaining value pretty quick.

Yes it is a bar just off of I-205 and Foster Road in SE Portland. In Lents neighborhood is correct.
