Probably doesn't want to put the miles on it. The first thing that comes to mind for me when I see a car with low miles is that it has spent a lot of time in the shop. Oh, and no driving in Oregon because you don't like people fueling your car is the lamest excuss so far.

The price is right, you know the car, buy it.

Gee, if they can't afford U of W, then they are really out og reach of Seattle U. Last time I check, the UW was still a state funded school, which makes it way less expensive then a private college like Seattle U. I'm a grad of the UW, but I also had the GI Bill to help pay for it. You might try the NASIOC board, I know a few of them go to the UW.

At first I was going to post something silly, "I had a lite brite when I was a kid", but then read the posts and want to add to that positive posts about silverstars, I've got them in my Impreza, they are still as bright as the day I got them.

Can't believe that all there is to registration is the purchasing of tickets, they don't ask what model of Subaru you ar brinbing, or if you are even planning to show the car.

On the newer cars, the ECU chip can be re-flashed with performance upgrades.

I love the group shots of the EA82 Coupes. How'd your car handle in the rallyx?

Idaho?? Is that a coast state?? If it is, then we need to consider Nevada and Arizona, and Mexico, if we are considering Canada.

Don't you get the feeling that he doesn't want to drive in Oregon. I'll bet there is an outstanding warrant for his arrest in Oregon. Wonder what he did??

You have something against Oregon? Or is there a warrent out for your arrest in Oregon? You probably live closer then most of the people that I know who went there from Washington.

Yea, you guys have no good excuse, my wife is going through chemotherapy for breast cancer and she made the trip. I won't have come if she didn't want to, but she said she was going, so go we went. Friday darn near caused her to colapse from the heat, but she stuck it out, what a trooper, a certified Subaru nut.

Did you really mean to type '97' or should it be '07'? I would think that the 06 had a smog pump too.

Yea, that would be nice, I didn't get anywhere near the beer garden, don't even know if one exsisted. I had one of my Guiness' sitting in the dark by my tent with my wife (who unknown to most of you is going through chemotherapy for breast cancer, and made the trip to the show, now that's dedication). I took some dash plaques over to John (Subaru West) and had a great single malted scotch. When back to my tent slept great until about 1:30 AM (I'll stop at that). Next year if there is a show, I'll have a lot more time to enjoy the show like I did at WCSS 3 (the last time that I had a good time at a show).

Thanks Richie

The Turbo Legacy use a hydraulic clutch setup, and it is a pull type clutch, these two mach the conversion very hard to find original parts for it. I do know that people who have rallied these cars have installed WRX trannies in them, but there are some mods that need to be made. You will probably have a better chance of finding a WRX tranny then one from a Turbo Legacy, but you will possibly need to also chance the rear diff for a ratio that matches that tranny. The clutch pedal assy may be hard to get ahold of also, but I think that the Impreza RS' had hydraulic clutches and those peday assemblies should work.

I would like to echos Zap's comment on both posts, that open and the locked ones. I too have had it will all the work that goes into putting on the show. I will be a participant from now on. I think I will even go as far as staying at a nearby hotel so that I can get a good nights sleep. I can not believe how inconsiderate people can be. I love the one comment of one of the late night noise makers as he drove into the area, "Oh, you are at the quiet end of the camp!", to which I was thinking, "It was until you showed up." I'm sorry if I woke anyone up in the morning, I have a voice that carries, I was trying to be quiet, but I am a morning person, usually at work by 5 AM. I hope that there are more WCSS', I'll try to attend them. Whoever does continue these, please remember to move the location around, while Hood River is a great place, it is too far for some people (yes I know some people came a long way, but not everyone is that dedicated), try to make it fun for everyone, and most of all keep a thick skin and good luck.

He didn't have to ask, it was his mud pit.

I guess this is one of the bennies of working at Aaron's Auto Wrecking.

Comment removed on request.

Definately bringing the Legacy now, the clutch in the WRX still slips, even after adjustments (not as bad as before, but still slips). My AAA will only tow within 100 miles of home, and Hood River is outside of that by quite a few miles. I will still be judging all the conversions. I finally found a throw out bearing, but the clutch kit doesn't get here until Monday, leaving no time to get the clutch in before the show. I'm getting too old to burn the midnight oil to get the car ready. Besides, it is not really in the condition that I want it to be in at the moment, there will always be next year.

Good luck, Subaru swaps are much different the other swaps, I know, I have done many swaps of many different makes and engines, but none of them were like any of the Subaru swaps that I did.

Maybe you should do your homework before you even think about a conversion, or find a place that does these type of conversions and pay them to do it. Why not enjoy your Impreza as it is for awhile so that you can gain the knowledge. Use 'Google' or some other search engine to get information. This is not something a novice should take on, it is a complex conversion, not a simple bolt up. Do your homework, come back and ask intelligent questions, then I will answer you, I have done several of these type of conversion, and will be able to tell you the pit falls, but I don't want to have to explain in minute details, every step. Not knowing what a front clip is tells me that you are no ready to learn.

No, it means that YOUR car goes through a tech inspection.

No, a Type RA is a version of a WRX. Dave has just put a RA drive train in his EA82 series car (for the second time).

Plans might be changing, the clutch in the WRX is beginning to slip, I can get the clutch kit, but for some reason on one has the throwout bearing in stock (the clutch is a Centerforce Dual Fiction 230mm pull type).
