Jibs Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Well, today was fun. We did pretty good and had a blast. I think I sustained the most damage with a good hit to the driver's side fender and drivers side valance, both of which got banged up pretty good. (did ya get a pic of it Brian?) Other than that we only had one other problem when Zeno's wagon got way hot and shorted out out on a fairly steep hill after his fans stopped working. Here's a few pics of those who made it: (sorry NVBigBlue) And here's the best part: TheSubaruJunkie's RX offroad Video!! http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=4731&sort=1&cat=641&page=1 I have some more of His RX that I'll get to Brian to Upload.

TheSubaruJunkie Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 WOOHOO!!! That video is sweet. Was alot more fun from inside the car. Without my LSD i would have been screwed. The RX did better than I thought, only problem is no low-end grunt. But the MPFI sure does beat Carburated Im uploading my pix now, soon to come. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Here are my pix i've uploaded. I'll have to upload the rest later, im forced to upload them one by one. Here's the album: http://usmb.net/gallery/album316 And here are a couple of my favorites: I think its best if I keep the RX for the street, and get my wagon built up -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NV Zeno Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Yup, lots-o-fun up Jumbo Grade today. I think those Jeep/Toyota guys were actually a little impressed. Still trying to figure out why the fans didn't kick in..I've got this weird suspicion it might be the ECU is acting up, the carb's been really rich lately (in addition to the vacuum leak).

TheSubaruJunkie Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I dont think your fans are controlled by your ECU. Im not sure why they wouldnt either, maybe there's a relay somewhere. Good thing I had my crimpers was a simple fix. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NV Zeno Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Yeah, it's possibly a relay, I'll check my FSM. BTW, thanks for the field repair..prolly could have made it out, but not have had as good a time as we did. Did you go see that wagon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 No, took 3 hours to get home. I thought the flow of cars would be bad, comming back I80 on a sunday... but I never knew it would be THAT bad. Came to a complete stop a couple times, and spent about 2 hours with 3000 other cars traveling at 20-45mph, then 15-0mph and back and forth. I'll go check it out Wednesday. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 50 is no better on a sunday, and probably worse, since its a direct route from Tahoe to Sacramento (whereas i80 is more reno). And trying to get from 50 to my house is another 40min drive, whereas I live right off of I80 -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
