Dr. RX

Somehow, they forgot to send me the December issue, I called then yesterday that they are sending me a copy. The February issue has been sent to the distribution center, we should be getting it the first week in January.

Man I just about fell out of my chair laughing when I read Hondasucks' post, and then saw that Ken made that post that I was going to make. Yea, come on up, I know a good doctor where you can get the webs put in between your fingers and toes.

Unfortunately we in the USA never got the RS Legacy (Liberty over there), so there is limited knowledge here. We did get a Turbo Legacy, and in the first year only it came with a VLSD, but it also have a metcal on it that told you that. So if your's doesn't have a metcal on it, and it is a limited slip, I would say it is a clutch type.

I second that, plus the wiring is a lot different.

This will not work, the Impreza and Legacy have a shoe brake setup for their parking brake, this is sperate from the caliper. There is no e-brake on these calipers.

Maybe you should try someplace other then NAPA. It has been my experience that when it says 'Hatchback' it is for the EA81 series car, but when is says 'coupe' it is for the EA82 series car. The two door sedan should have been a give-away too, I have no idea which car they are talking about there.

Mark, pictures would help, I'm going to put together a web page that will list all the different parts that can be used in a 4 to 5 bolt conversion, this info would be great for those who choose to go the Impreza or Legacy (Liberty) route. Corky

I was hoping that you would find this. Corky

Yep

They kept the WRX away from us for almost 10 years, now you can get a turbo in everything except a B9. Maybe it's coming, but then we'll have to buy new cars instead of making our favorite ones better.

I would think you could get more then 100 of them into a shipping container. Yes the shipping would be cheaper if you can do a whole container. They do have a 20 foot container, so wouldn't have to fill a 40 foot container. If your friend in AU can get ahold of some rear glass for a GC8 Impreza that has a hole for a rear wiper assembly, I know of two people who are looking for them. They would require some better packing if you were shipping them with the trannies. Let us know when you get some idea of prices, I'd hate to have you ship a container load here and find out people think the price is too high.

Well, it look like their Forester has a dual range, here is a link to a web page from Subaru Venezuela, look under the Forester model 2.0X. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://www.subaru.com.ve/&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%2522Subaru%2522%252B%2522Venezuela%2522%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26rls%3DGGLC,GGLC:1969-53,GGLC:en The Outback 2.5i and the Impreza 2.0GX have them also.

Well that sounds interesting, I know that they had them in Japan on the Impreza HX model, heard rumors about them being on some European models, but never thought to look in South America. I'll bet the shipping will be a killer (having worked in the shipping business before). Do you know which car they are on? I believe that they still make an EA81 series car for third world countries, and that they might have the dual range that the dealer is talking about. By the way, as others have said, there is no shift pattern difference, at least in the cars that I drove in Japan and Hong Kong.

Down south????? Where is this south??

I thought you were in Wyoming for school??

Figures!!!

Had 2 inches of snow at my place in Sammamish when I got home today. Driving home from work in Everett, the snow got worst the further south that I went, that means that Ken and other must have a bunch of snow. It is still coming down heavy, I wouldn't be surprized if we didn't get at least 6 inches of snow before I got to bed tonight.

I'm sure that Ken and Eric will tell us when the time is ready, so why don't we back off and let them take care of it. When they finally have their fill of putting on these shows, they'll let us know. Then you guys with all the great idea can organize the following show after that and find out just what a pain it is to put on one of these shows.

Not a preserve, these are your words not mine.

Ed, I think that I have a spare radio (Subaru).

If it's a Preserve, are you sure they will allow off roading??? Austin, late July would be too close to WCSS 8, and beside, he said the mud dries up by then.

OK, to answer your question, yes, that statement is bacsically true for years 1995 to 1999, I believe in 2000 there was a body change so I'm not sure if those windows are the same. By the way, there are more differences overall then just the roof line.

Actually I think Sean at RalliTek is the one who is behind organizing the WCSS 8.

Hopefully it is just some kids taking it for a joy ride, and not one of those chop shops with an order to fill. My sister had a plain Jane Nova taken from a pay parking garage, the police found it about a day later, undamaged, just out of gas. I can't believe that they had to pay for the parking to get the car out of the garage. I'll key a lookout while driving through Redmond for you, but I most drive on highways.

I agree with Ross on this one.
