  1. Search the for sale forum. Edrach, baccaruda and others have some for sale right now. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/search.php?searchid=355245
  2. That shouldn't be a surprise as they are the same platform. But working @ Aarons you probably already knew that!
  3. A fun time. 10 cars/trucks and lot's of snow and trees. Many stuck unprepared rigs to deal with though.
  4. How did you hit the curb? From what angle? Without seeing it, it sounds like you bent the radius(strut) rod. Very fixable. You also more than likely twisted the lower control arm. These do not have A-arms. Less than $20 at almost any junk yard and you'll be back on the road. Can you get a pic or two showing the damage to be sure?
  5. Welcome Charlie!! BTW, the only way to make us look over our shoulders is to move to M4. Otherwise, it is just for fastest time of the day!! lol I think I may have to finally buy a "new" set of tires also. Ken
  6. They were down to half of their allotment(2000). They should have one but I can't guarrantee it.
  7. If you'd prefer to bring the GL I do have a full set of 13" studded tires I was going to put up on the board for sale. I will make you an unrefusable deal for them. And they're are on wheels. Call it the get even deal for the show!!
  8. Greg, I was going to call you and give you a personal invite. Are you free for it?
  9. I added the update. It is currently snowing in Greenwater and will continue through out the week.
  10. I added the update. Snow is currently falling in Greenwater so there will be more on the ground by Saturday.
  11. Ouch, had the same thing happen on the wifes '93 Legacy "L" wagon. Drove it on the trailer, took it home and had it running one hour later. There were no bearings left at all when it started making so much noise she couldn't drive it any more. Sorry about the damage Skip. Good luck with the hybrid build though.
  12. All these points are reasonable. Not completely accurate but without knowing what he is doing with said vehicle all this means nothing. So, what vehicle are you installing this flywheel into? What will the primary use be? And for the record, all my vehicles have lighter flywheels. Including my big Brat. Never seemed to have any problems with the bottom end torque or pulling people's stuck butts out of the goo!
  13. The highlighted numbers are your fastest time. That doesn't neccessarily make it the 6th fastest. While it is a very respectable time if you check every score you will see what I mean. A little more seat time and you'll be a competitive player in your class. I was enjoying the cones way too much. They also did not show the final two passes my car made after Ken block and Jamie Thomas ran. 100 runs maybe but not 100 cars. It is probably one of Pauls largest turnouts.
  14. Mike, get a late model EA81 flywheel. '84 and up 4WD will do the trick. Can't swap the EA82 without doing the 5sp swap as the clutch disc has different splines and the pressure plate uses a different throw out bearing. Call me if you need any help. I do not know but I may have a flywheel. I'll check. If I don't Rob probably does. Ken
  15. Ken Block ran a 1:12 and hit 2 cones for a total of 1:16. Eric ran fastest time of the day with a 1:13 clean. I followed with a 1:14. The driver of the Leg GT is Charles. Great guy and better driver. He held fastest laps until the rally cars showed up. Bill Price ran the Audi @ WCSS8.
  16. Actually, there was one on my car. Eric blew one on the run he took with Pablo Eklund. We had it rebeaded in about two minutes and were ready to roll. BTW, that pic above is of me. Eric has an open faced burgandy helmet. I have a full faced silver one. Here's one of Eric taken from NASIOC.
  17. Erik, I got your PM and forgot to reply, Sorry! I am still up for it. I'll give you a call this weekend. Are you gonna come to Subyfest? If so, we can discuss things then as well. Ken
  18. Ditto, I had to ask him how he saw the tree we slid to a stop in front of(after the dust cleared). He says, "oh, I never saw it, I just knew we were off the trail."!!?!?!?! BTW, that was the insiration for my own XT6.
  19. The thing your missing is that TCU's can be fully progammable and made to do whatever the programmer wants. I prefer to shift on my own but the auto is just as good in straight 1/4 mle racing. The manual is better IMHO in rally or road track type racing.
  20. So, are you saying they are slow or fast? For the record, I don't run auto's. I will match my skill in shifting and driving against you any time. I hope you can handle second place!
  21. My first Subaru was an '84 wagon with blown headgaskets. The previous owner was told the engine was no good. I assumed their mechanic knew what he was talking about and replaced the motor. It blew smoke for 2 days of intermittent running until it started to clear up. Might be an intake gasket or the other side is also bad. I try to do both headgaskets when one goes bad.
  22. Maybe you can lend something besides your opinion to this arguement. 1/4 milers have been using the 2 sp powerglide trans for years to set records. How does that work if they are so slow?!? Auto's are programmed to shift at a set point everytime. They will never miss a shift. They will always shift when they are supposed to. Read this as shifting in the powerband and staying in the same powerband. I've been in and around racing all my life. So, you'll need to bring more than... they're just slow to the table.
  23. OK, then it's a clutch kit for a Legacy, 1990-94.
  24. I think you'll need a clutch that is not hydraulic. Does your car have a clutch cable or slave cylinder? If there is a cable you will need to use a 1990-94 Legacy clutch kit. If it has a slave cylinder you can use any Impreza WRX STi clutch for it. Your current clutch type will be the determining factor.
