It's all good. Good clean...err, well maybe, fun!

Rob, your T-wagon couldn't beat me how do you think that coupe will?

Nice job Austin. Give me a call when you have time. Ken

This needs to be taken to telephone, email or PM. End of discussion.

I don't know about give but I need to see it before I start giving/selling parts.

DITTO, PK has always been very profession and an integral part of the Hatch Patrol. Keep it up PK. Maybe an idea for the lift name s/b BYB/USA

If Rick doesn't have it I may know where a parts Brat is and I may be picking up an '82 that has been in a collision.

Yes, the rally is on Sunday the 18th. And, yes, I will be there as well. It definitely won't be hard to find us.

There were a couple of people from the Legacy Central board. Might make a post there as well if you haven't already.

The cams for EA81's come in 3 varieties. Turbo, solid lift and hydraulic. I don't recall the numbers right now(10 hours on graveyard shift).

I would recommend looking into gutter mounts rather than welding. The sheet metal is thin and will be tough to get good welds that will hold up. There are a number of roof top carriers out there that have gutter mounts. Adaptation will be the best way to go. That will also make it removable if needed.

I'm up for it. Where are you guys publishing the mag at? Is the mag local to Washington as well. We may be able to give you guys heads ups on local events and outings.

Mick, do you have the ability to make these for inside the window? I'll take a few. I'll talk to you soon to decide how many. Ken

Try doing a search for EA81 cams. Here's what I found. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/search.php?searchid=24018

A search for ea71 pistons into ea81 put up these posts. You could refine the search some. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/search.php?searchid=23977

Very nice Mick.

As Mick stated those are your options in the states. Side note, stay on topic this time guys.

I replaced a motor once after the headgasket went bad. The exhaust was full of coolant and smoked for quite a while. I'd run it for 5 minutes and shut it down then come back in an hour or so and do it again. Finally I noticed the smoke was starting to diminish and let it run for about 30 minutes and the smoke stopped and the motor ran for about 6 years so far without incident.

Cool,thanks Nick!

...and my Brat will be on it. Chances are anything you break can be fixed there anyway.

The first one is of Brian's Brat. The second one is of mine.

That new computer program obviously helps to speed things up.

That was Wayne. I talked with him for a while in the afternoon. What a spectacular day. Most, if not all, the participants got tanned or burned. Hot and sunny conditions for the whole day. The roll over was fast and rather brutal. It appears that the Ranger got out of shape coming into a rather sharp 180 degree turn and caught a rut. Unfortunately, he didn't roll slowly. He went straight from rubber side down to impact on the passenger side upper A-pillar. Then back to rubber side down. The truck is a total at this point. Mike, the water truck driver, laid down about four truck loads of water to soften the track. The following runs resulted in plus 3 minute times and very, very, sloppy conditions. I was 4th car out after the water truck and must say that I have been on mud runs in the big Brat that had less mud. The track did dry out quickly though. Second and third runs were in the mid to low 2's and the final runs were in the mid 1's. Quite a difference in conditions. I'm not sure if I want to be present for Rich, the safety stewards, next pre-event speech.

I have used them for EA81's. I believe the two cams are basically a small torque cam and a hotter horsepower cam. There were different profiles for spfi, mpfi, turbo and carb. Very minor differences though. I know of a couple guys who have used known spfi cams in a carbed motor with good results. I have had very pleasant experiences with Delta. They even stepped up as a small sponsor of our West Coast Subaru Show. If any of you do call them tell them you heard about them from me( Ken, the guy with the Brats and the coordinator of the Subaru show) and it may not get you a better deal but it will let them know we are letting people know about them and that we appreciate there work. It may sound wrong but unless you have tried it don't be too harsh. I thought that until I put one in an EA81. Trust me when I say it makes a night and day difference. Let's just say there are a few less Honda boys in my area looking to race the old Brat. Thanks!!
