Turbone

I wasnt the only one with aggressive tires and I was planning on running Open but got in PGT. They also changed the course 3/4 times that day, it always changes the times after that and each class will have different times. So I dont take much stock in total times for all the cars, just in class. But it was a tough course, and I think most of us did pretty well. XNRG might have taken PGT if he hadnt hit that rock and broke a wheel

Hey, my kids are good for a few laughs That includes me too. Spark, you need to post in the caravan topic.

Hood River or Bust! Got 4 in my group, will be leaving on Fri also. Not sure of the time yet, might tag along with Qman (if he gets up on time

Only if you have car plates on it But the point is, you would get beat in PGT

Oh, and they bunged up my name and car. The car is obvious, cant run a Brat in PGT. The name is Allen, not Alla. Damn, makes me sound Arabic

Your better off putting a 5spd D/R 4wd setup in the car. You will need to install all the running gear anyways, and the MT is better than AT. There are plenty out there so its just a matter of getting your hands on one. But, if $ is a problem and you have no problem with mech'n go ahead and swap the AT in.

Yup, saw when they were posted this afternoon. 10th in my class (PGT, with 39 cars entered). Not bad for being away 2yrs. I was hoping for a wetter track, but its all in the roll of the dice :cool: I'll have to run in Open the next time if I dont change tires.

Do you mean distributor rotors? If thats what they are, the turbo caps and rotors are different.

Doh! But from the looks of it, it was off road(I also know this for a fact). Not real serious stuff tho, if I recall.

This is out of the 86 FSM. Its to big to post here, so I made a link to it. Output splines There is a difference in size between the MT Turbo and NA trannies. But I couldnt see any diff between the AT trannies. It would help to have them side by side to tell the diff, but I only have a 5spd S/R Turbo tranny.

I think your asking for alot of headaches there. When I went through this here in Wa. I found out that the PVO had bought the car and swapped plates with another Soob that he owned and trashed. When I contacted the original owner, he signed a bill of sale and the car cost me nothing.

Well, you gave the year and model, but not the tranny. If its an Auto, it could be the governor. Its an easy swap out, but if the gear in the diff itself is bad you will be looking for another tranny or diff. I would also check the vacume line going down to the modulator. If theres fluid it the line, its coming up from the tranny (which will make the car smoke). A swap out for the mod is also an easy fix. On a manual, it might just be the clutch, time/labor consuming but not too bad. Svxcess, thats a real good first post

I "think" that if the car is abandoned on the property for 6mo or a year, the vehicle belongs to the prop owner. A trace can be done with the Vin # at the DOL, I think its around $10. Been there, done that, but it was 10+yrs ago.

Well, I'm bummed. They shouldnt tease us like that if they cant produce the results at the same time consistantly. How long did it used to take?

Maybe, what day and time?

Hey Tim, try and shoot for McChord or Ft Lewis next time, eh?

Its "almost" a twin of Qmans old hatch. I'm already missing mine Looks like its going to be fun

Gee, I was hoping for quick results like the last one

Oh, and one last thing. Get a donor car. You will be much happier. This way you will not have to run back and forth to the JY to get parts you forgot :cool:

Also, (I bet you all didnt think I was going to say anything, eh?) you need to have the pedal box/clutch pedal, clutch cable, tranny x-member, leading rod/stabilzer bracket (this holds the tranny x-member, which is different on 2wd), the complete strut assembly and hubs (might as well, its all one unit). You need to cut out the shifter hole for the 4wd engage just a little and try and figure out the wiring for the trans ignition lock and light on the dash for 4WD. Did I leave anything out?

I dont claim to know all about AC, but if there is air in the system there is a sensor that will shut it down? You may need to purge the air out. But remember to read the disclaimer above.

You were thinking, but not looking. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18351

That thing is soooo ooold, I would be real surprised if you got volts out of it. For some reason when I see things like this, it reminds me of something my Dad told me when he didnt want to tell me what he was making. He would say "Its a skittle for a ginsaw"

Try not to break it before then, eh?

I thought that thing left on the track was somebodys inside fender skirt
