Great chance to have fun and scope out location for WCSS9. http://www.pacificrallygroup.com/rci042807.html Sadly I got this from PRG today: I got a phone call today from Kim and Steve M. saying that the field at the ORV park is unusable due to the truck event over the weekend. There are logs and rocks all over the lower field plus a large amount of mud on the lower portion. It doesn't look like the field will be in any condition to hold a rally-x by Saturday We apologize for any inconvenience this causes anyone. Cheers, Erik Lyden

I've had a '91 Legacy for the last 5 years as my DD. Great solid, reliable car. We bought a '97 Impreza last year for my wife to drive regularly. For economic reasons it became my rallycross car also (replaced my '94 Impreza 4 door). Impreza is also reliable but seems so much more fun to drive. Both are wagons and the Legacy definitely has more cargo space. If you don't need the room, the Impreza is certainly more fun. If you care, note that all EJ22's from 1977 model year and newer are interference engines.

Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry, since this was for someone else I didn't think to SEARCH for it. My bad. Information is passed on; no point in beating up on this any more.

I'm posting this for someone who's had trouble registering and can't post this for himself: You know the FWD switch up front near the ABS, the one where you put a fuse into the block and it shuts off the AWD? I was asking XXXXX* about this too, and we are both wondering: would it do any damage to use that block to run the car in FWD most of the year, and then switch it to AWD in bad weather? We are guessing that doing so would save gas. How much, we don't know. But what we also don't know is whether using the bypass circuit in the AWD clutch would do any damage. Or, if there would be any other unanticipated effects, such as tire wear. If this would work, it might save (I would guess) perhaps as much as 10% fuel. Can you help me research this on the website? Surely someone has played with this before, and I would sure like to know the effects before ever trying it. Interesting question. *Name X'd out to protect the innocent.

Auburn Subaru is now MikeScarff Subaru. But it's still Jason in Parts with the same excellent service.

Dealership has changed owners but I'm not sure of the website. However, I've always purchased from Jason in Parts and still continue to get the same first class service and internet prices. I never liked the website since it was too onerous to use conveniently so I started calling direct. 1-866-528-5282 is a toll free number and just ask for Jason in Parts.

I don't qualify for most shows; I started with WCSS3 and have been lucky enough not to miss any since then.

A few years back I drove to Albuquerque and back via Sedona, AZ in our '86 Loyale wagon. The car had around 200K on the engine and drivetrain. We drove over 3500 miles round-trip in pretty hot weather without a problem at any time. I would do it again in our '91 Legacy with 188K without a second thought.

There's a subaru only yard on Vancouver Island (something like Saltair). A bit pricey but he has a good inventory of parts. I'm sure one of the locals will post more information.

Thank you. PM sent.

Can someone run JF1GF4858WG813404 for me? Trying to decide how old the parts on a '98 Impreza wagon might really be (found in a local wrecking yard). Thanks.

I got a tip today from another Subaru enthusiast. He saw my headlights and got a bottle of Meguier's Plast-X (I'm sure I murphed the spelling but it's available at Shuck's and other auto parts stores) out of his wagon and within 5 minutes we had polished both headlamps and side markers to "like new" shine. It sure beats a polishing wheel and 15 minutes per headlamp.

Sometimes it pays to not read all your mail early in the day. Good one Rob, you had me going but I was reading on, feeling the love you were getting and thinking how I could add to it. I'm glad things aren't as black as you made out although it could certainly have been true. Glad to see you might have the RX ready for the next rallycross.

Bring both; there's a rallycross the same weekend!

I tried to tell you that. Again the offer of a place to "recover" on the way down or back is still open. But Craig is correct, early and late in the season the course is quite slick due to all the rains we get. In mid-season, the water truck is used to "keep the dust down" so the neighbors don't get ticked. Bring some friends and with luck we might be able to rouse some interest to bring a few of us north to B.C.

Now that I'm awake, here are some pics I took during the morning session. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=983 Here's Alaena in her new rallycross Impreza. Notice she has one of the better lines through the corner.

You're right; sorry....I wasn't too alert after my 4 hour drive home.

Or you can get a rebuilt distributor or vacuum advance from http://www.philbingroup.com/fhhistory.htm

Yes, that's who you think it is. Yes, that's me, cone destoyer par excellance. The tires are great, I steer into the corner expecting the car to slide a bit, instead the tires take me directly into the cones. I'm a slow learner; I finished 5th in class (PA). Charles won his class again. And my son, Jrach, took MY wagon and won Modified AWD outright! The tires were great; the Tabors are going to sell a bunch of these.
