Procedure for the 2.2's only seems to be removal/replacement. Is there an actual cleaning procedure? Looks like a fine CD; is that available from Subaru? I'm looking for one for my '91 Legacy and '97 Impreza.

It's not so much about trying harder, it's about being smarter. Sometimes driving slower results in lower scores (less cones and no gate penalties).

Don't knock yourself like that; you're running in a much more competitive class along with lots more entrants. Look how many people you beat, not how many beat you!!

Finally official season standings are posted. Congradulations to John Alley, Mark Mager, and Brian Dose for winning their respective classes. http://www.oregonrally.com/files/2005_RX_Points.pdf Details about how the scores were calculated can be found at http://www.oregonrally.com/rallycross.cfm

You think?

If you are thinking about coming to the banquet (and I would encourage you to, if for no other reason than to check out the cool cars and hear from great music and meet some world-class club-level racers), I would at least email Jeff Z. and let him know that your reservation is on the way... try this email address for Jeff: re <at> oregonscca <dot> com He can add your name (and numbers to the list) and you can send your check in the mail!

For those interested in going, here's the invitation; or better yet a reservation form and they need to be paid by FRIDAY! Yes, this Friday, Nov. 11th! http://www.oregonscca.com/awards.pdf

Finally, confirmation: Yes, the awards will be held at Gran Prix Imports in Wilsonville on the 19th of November in conjunction with the SCCA Region Awards. We are working on posting points right now, please be patient. John Elkin Vancouver Washington 03 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ Rally Edition

Holley had a license to manufacture the "holley-weber" carb from weber; this is probably it.

Found this on the ezboard for ORG comments: Yes the awards banquet is comming for Rallycross Awards on the 19th with the rest of the SCCA group. It should be a great night. Of course none of us Rallycrossers know if or how we placed so it may be a little bit of a void in the "presentation'' when our names are called and none of us knew or knew in advance enough to make plans and get the RSVP tickets for the "Gala" event. Oh well, perhaps the awards were never ordered like the last and only banquet I went to in 2002 so it doesn't matter any way.I would like to have gone to just enjoy the evening with friends and other drivers that do care but since WE are not stepping up to run things, it may be best to just let it die....... I haven't seen anything else on the "official" website as yet.

Count me in; can you add me to your list for a permit? Thanks.

You have a choice for which flywheel to use with the 5spd conversion. Either the original 4 speed flywheel with a 5 speed clutchdisk (spline count is different on the 5 speed d/r) or go with the 5 speed flywheel. There's another issue with the clutch disk; check with bratsrus1 for details. Depends on whether you want a lighter flywheel (4 spd original) which will rev quicker or the heavier 5 spd version which will offer better low end torque. I know bratsrus1 prefers the 4 spd flywheel and I have the 5 spd flywheel. With the 5 spd flywheel, the mounting holes to the crank are slightly larger; not a problem really since the flywheel will align itself slightly the first time you step on it. But anal soul that I am I wanted to find a bushing that would take up some of the potential play. After searching I finally found a solution at the local McLendon's hardware. They have a selection of 1 foot tubing in brass. I found a piece of brass tubing 13/32" outside diameter which fits perfectly into the flywheel mounting holes; inside diameter still clears the mounting bolt. I just need to cut it into 8 pieces about 1/2" long for the spacers I need. Update: Dremel tool cut the brass tubing perfectly. Couldn't cut it with a tubing cutter, brass is too soft to cut that way.

Another issue with the 5 speed conversion is the hanger for the exhaust has changed location slightly. Don't just leave it hanging in the center since this produces a resonance at 2800 rpm that is quite annoying (trust me, I've been there). Fab up a support for the center of the exhaust line that matches the original as much as possible.

Depends on the driveline shop. One piece driveline should cost less than $200. Check with bratsrus1 for a quality shop that has already made a few for the 4spd to 5spd conversion in the Brat.

Chris, thanks for posting. It was cool to meet someone else from the USMB out for a day of rallyx.

Rear height adjustment is not done with the shock, but with the torsion bar adjustment under the car (at least that's the case with my '84 Brat; I suspect it's the same for the '85 wagon).

Having just re-ordered filters for my '91 Legacy and '97 Impreza, I just got 6 from www.1stsubaruparts.com for $4.50 each plus tax and shipping. I always try to order filters along with other parts to defray the $5 cost for shipping. Part number for my cars is 15208AA060; order the drain plug gasket also (p/n 11126AA000) for 31 cents each.

I'll bet you a beer it's a bad ground/connection and worse on one side. Try plugging in another sealed beam to check; I may have one here at my house that you could try.

84 Brat is most likely a EA81 engine without a timing belt. However it would be wise to check the compression and see if the timing is at least close (rotor pointing at #1 plug wire every 2nd revolution at Top Dead Center on the flywheel). Compression check is good too.

The question you need to answer is "are my headlights dim because they are old or dim because the wiring/connections/grounds are bad." If the latter is true, these upgrades won't help you much; as a matter of fact, drawing more current for the higher power bulbs might make the connection problems worse. These headlamps can be a great improvement if you also rewire the headlights to run off a fused connection directly from the battery via relays to carry the extra load.

I'll be staying at the Day's Inn just off exit 306B on Saturday evening; hoping to get in by 6pm.

You've got my PM.

Go with CCR; we put one in our son's brat 8 years ago. It went in without any trouble and is still running strong. They also make shipping of the core return easy (if they are still taking cores).

That's definitely cool. My neighbor across the street has the same equipment and was out there last weekend with it and a chain attached to the front of his Nissan. Turns out his wife had rear-ended someone and he was using the rig to straight the front bumper support! Creative body work! Gotta love that.
