  1. Late '83 auto's had hydro lifters as the '84 auto's and later EA81's. The first thing to determine is where you are. Rochester, NY or WA?
  2. Shadow is in the middle of an upgrade. He reopened the board early but still has to finish our tweeks to the system. Be patient, it's better to have a almost complete system than not one at all.
  3. That would definitely be a lot more casual. See if everyone else is OK with it.
  4. Any chance of making this a weekend deal? Us poor, undead souls that work graveyard can't make weekday events very well. If not, I understand.
  5. To answer your question Shawn. Yes, they have been retro'd into EA81 vehicles. Just run a hot lead to the control box. You do not need any of the sensors for it to operate. I am considering doing this to the big Brat. I just have to find a place to mount the controller and pump.
  6. Do not use spare wheels for full time driving. They are not designed to run full time. Too thin and not heavy enough to handle the daily grind.
  7. He said great board members! And welcome to the board!
  8. That cleaned up real nice. That may be the best way to go.
  9. First, you need to put the intake from the car on the motor. That should kill your cel. My guess is that you may have a weak or slow to pump up lifter. It will need to rev or run at a sustained rpm to recover. I also doubt that you have a bent valve as you state it runs fine between stated rpm range.
  10. That looks very familiar to me... Oh yeah, my '85 Brat has the same one, with the Nardi shifter also.
  11. Tom(owner) is top shelf. He's been in and around Subaru for 20+ yrs. You won't get any screaming deals but if he has the part it will be right and shipped quick. If you are unlucky enough to not live within driving distance of the shop.
  12. I believe there are a couple of those in the tools I got a while back. No, I still haven't gotten to them. I will one day though.
  13. It's been done. lift kits, suspension lifts and full frame lifts have all been done to the XT/XT6. The easiest will be the lift kit install. PK is the one to see for it. Very user friendly install.
  14. I like that. Good idea, let's get started early this year.
  15. First, let me say that this decision affected me as well. I had a signature that I enjoyed. It pained me to shut them down. So, when you complain and whine about not having them remember that others are also effected. Including almost every mod and admin here. Second, This was posted and then made into an announcement viewable in every forum. Yet, noone chose to simply follow the rules and comply. Guess what? Problem solved because all members chose to try and ignore the rules the option was removed. So, in reality, the membership chose this. It was viewed by many and still noone did a thing about it. Some were asked directly to remove controversial signatures. And following discussions decided it was best. Except for one individual. The fall out from that single member caused this as much as anything. This is the way it is for now. Maybe, like the O/T forum, it too will return sometime down the road. However, the initial feedback is positive for the removal of said signature options. Less stuff to weed through to give or find info. I hope that this will be the end of it. If not, then I will delete every post regarding sigs period. This site is a privledge to enter not a right. Follow the rules or not. But remember, the door swings both ways.
  16. Naw, just pokin' at you Corky. But, I am right on that point. It will become very competitive and there will be many protests. It will require a mods list and someone with knowledge will have to do spec to verify such things. These new rules and classes will run into many snags as written. First time will require a few rewrites and revisions. Hopefully, any and all critizism will be seen for what it is and the powers that be will see the points rather than thinking it is an attack on them.
  17. Oh h_ll no! Anyone there that knows Subaru will protest that car. Even with the ballast disadvantage. I think you'll find that it needs to be USDM to be stock. If you want to play, play with the right people.
