  1. If 13in tires are bogging your motor down, then theres something going on that isnt right. I have 14's on my 86 turbo wagon and it only bogs if I put it in 5th gear to soon.
  2. Sounds like you have an Automatic. Typical rpms for one. I think 70mph is ok for cruising and it keeps the motor in its powerband. If you want to change the rpm's, change your wheels to 14in Pugs, it helps alot without drastic drivetrain changes/swaps.
  3. Finally got a look at mine today. Those are some great pics, that camera rocks!
  4. Yes they swap. Lots of work tho, have fun
  5. You have to be compatible with the enviroment. You might melt from all the rain
  6. Nah, its not a mean streak. He just gets a little grumpy from a lack of sleep :-\ So that means your all on his list...until he has had his coffee
  7. Crappy mileage? That hatch was getting great mileage when I had it. 25mpg +. What happened?
  8. Congrats! Hope your around for another 10yrs.
  9. He keeps telling me that sleep is over rated Give the guy a break, he and some others busted thier butts for the show and need a little time off from Subaru related stuff.
  10. Well Suba, your pretty close. He just closed on his new house and he will be in the process of moving soon.
  11. Got mine in the mail yesterday, thanks Noah. Havent had a chance to look at it yet, will do it after I get some sleep :cool:
  12. Pardon my yping, keyboard is messed up. I may have a working one. Get back to you tom]orrow.
  13. Seeing this is family board, I cant say what I really would like. But you get the idea
  14. Congrats from a guy thats got a wife who is almost as bad as me. I cant tell you what she had to deal with to go to WCSS6 (the ones there know). The trick is to get her a reliable Subaru thats her style. Keep it running well and she will let you do just about anything you want Soob related. A car is a real center point of everyones life, and if you have a addiction to a certain type then its even more pronounced. Women are very understanding, to a point. Just make sure you take of her needs also. I think I speak from experience, been married for 27yrs and still going strong. Morgan, I'm going to have to cry foul :-\ You said Subaru = Life. But then you say its just a hobby and you have other cars for daily drivers Redo your math....
  15. I actually didnt get meet to many new folks, met alot of them at WCSS3. But Oddcomp you were one of the new ones. Hope you didnt take to seriously some of the things I said, I tend to be a smartass when I've been out in the sun too long Hope to meet up again in the future
  16. I havent heard anyone talk about the valves and springs yet. If you upgrade the cams and have all this new OEM stuff in it, why wouldnt you put new springs/valves in also?
  17. Well, 2 things.... The ground goes to the front top of the drivers side head - theres a bolt that threads into it. The only way to take a pic of it is to remove the Alt. Dont feel like doing that right now. And #2, If you had come by and seen me yesterday at the show I could have shown it to you :-\ You said it was a dumb question........
  18. Adam, the only vid I have of you is when you were pulling the "other" Brat out I think thats before you started having to much fun and things started breaking
