  1. Indeed! Great info and no fluff. Glad you guys had a good time. Got my hands full up here for the next couple of months but once things break open I'm coming down for a romp.
  2. Am I wrong by saying the Stage I manual shift trannies are 4.125 final drive? I knew it wasn't 3.7 but couldn't recall the number. Assumed it was 3.90 like the later years. But according to what I've been reading they seem to be 4.125 Probably why they have that "trucky" feeling.
  3. I will also take the cores I have around for pricing on whatever amount they'll give a discount on. Right now things are a bit crazy as I've been told I need to vacate my rental. One good thing from this is that I'm now having my eyes and hands on parts like the Stage I and Stage II heaters,etc.... Infact,I had the notion today to take them both out....so soon enough I will. Need to get a new rental and hump out the migration. Probably going to be 99.5 % me doing it,like last time,so bear with me over these next 6 weeks or so. Good thing its springtime.:-p At least we have some time to work on this before anyone's toes go numb.
  4. Cool. If I may advise you,please...take the fenders off , remove the foam strip crap that will be found on the back side of the fender where it meets the unibody. You can see the start of that rust that occurs on the top of the fenders on your driver's side.
  5. ### Guys,I can't make it and now might not make Carlisle or any other stinkin event in May. Could use some help in the coming 6-7 weeks. Need to move to yet another location. Have fun. See you guys over the summer.
  6. In that year the 1600 was only available in the automatics.
  7. 12th n/g 19th n/g Son's opening day of baseball and not that I care but opening day of Ct Trout crap,we're into the 26th already and Carlisle would be three weeks later. Don't wait for me - just go - have a blast.
  8. Hey,if rain screws up Little League you guys wanna make a run tomorrow? That's Saturday 4/5 Just a thought. Next weekend is out on Saturday. Opening Day Trout Season in Rhode Island Annual chaotic mass of partying fools. A must attend event.
  9. There's that style shown,the double center sliders,and the solid glass for the Gen I. I just removed this very same style from an '80 Brat with a really nice gasket still intact.
  10. Send me a PM and I'll hook you up. Between myself and Charlie we have like three of the first Gen Brat sliders and rear glass of all styles. Last time I was there I removed one from a 44k BRAT and the gasket was very usable.
  11. No,it should come right off. Just work it a little.
  12. Sounds cool. Family all just saw the promo and date(s) look open for now. Only about 3 hours drive so no big deal there. Going to pass this along to my friend. Nicest MG TD in the world in their garage along side of the Lotus Elan unrestored but super fast and fun as anything 40 years old. Next four months will dictate what we bring. Doubt it'll be "Sport" or "Exotic". Should be a cool spectator event for us.
  13. this weekend is out Luc needs to ask his coach about taking a baseball practice day off. Trying to get next weekend locked down. '78 is ready for action now. If someone wanted to wheel during a weekday I might be able to swing that. Would have to not get down there untill after rush hour - probably get in the woods around 11AM-ish.
  14. Had both,should still have both 2 and 4 port 1400's. Wrote about it in the past. Not sure if anyone searched or if it'll even show up. You'll find that the two port 1400 which several board members insisted did not exist,was adapted for the 1975 4WD wagon in the US. At least that's where mine came from. Cheers
  15. Mandatory -standard procedure - when using on galvi - fencing ,etc. These sprays look great in certain applications and sure do protect and last when you spray it on clean metal. My restoration of my winch has that galvi. spray on the pulley and mounting. Looks better than when it was new.
  16. Need to iron out a few things and get back to you folks late tomorrow or Wed. As of this moment we'd be coming down in the FWD '92 Leg wagon. Need a fresh battery for the '78. New tires - ready that way. Also,I'm pretty sure I'm without a tow strap these days - need to check. Normally for a quality item I don't mind spending , but the ones I've seen lately are like $60 and made in China. Not that my last one wasn't about the same,but I'm just tired of buying Chinese crap. So uhh , you guys have decent tow straps ? Early April better - combine PA yard run - maybe camp - fish
  17. Ladies and Gentlemen ......the Ides of March have left the building. Please drive safely. Thanks,Dave. And Steve...and all. Outro theme song - Glad To See You Go
  18. Thanks very much for your input,guys. Although I can't do any machining right now I do expect to be in a new home soon and have a Bridgeport miller set. But I would gladly send work out and thanks Scott,for offering. One setup I'll do perfectly "stock" as the USA really never saw a dual carb Subaru through a showroom. The other d/c intake I want to have some fun with and make something that older car enthusiasts will appreciate and maybe cause them to repsect the little old Subaru more. And of course a little preformance won't hurt. These days I often work with prepreg graphite sheet that I'm making linkage pieces with a little at a time. A couple of plys,a little time = nice ultralight,ultrastrong pieces to make linkage from. This project is a long way off,I'm sure but not entirely over the horizon.
  19. Sure...there's a reason. sounds cool. That's sort of half of the idea. Make something vintage that resembles a vintage sports car from Europe,etc.
  20. Hey guys there's a guy on eBay with some extra Subaru shirts. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230232006782&ssPageName=STRK:MEBI:IT&ih=013 I picked up a bunch for our meets. Just thought you guys might want some raffle or prize items,etc. Plenty cheap !
  21. That's why I'm really looking for alternatives to a Weber twin setup. It'll be a low use,fun vehicle. There's no way I can go and compete with the Datsun guys at the straightlines but I'd like to have something similar. Wouldn't you know that today I saw the super bright yellow Datsun with slicks,etc...... that I'd seen last year and previous,but only two or three times. Two years ago this mang pulls up along side my '78 wagon in highway rushhour traffic (parade) and can't even smile at me. Just lights up the rears with the supercharger whining away. Pretty cool,but obviously he thought my ride needed to be shown his car's muscle. I'll kick his rump roast in snow and ice !!!! :-p OK,back to the multi-carb setup.
  22. I've got ideas of Mikuni m/c four carb setups from a big bore bike. Then again,I have too many ideas. I do own a Puch Twingle with a Bing and have another matching carb in new form. They're mighty small though being on a 175cc bike.
  23. Has anyone seen any aircraft EA71's or EA81's with dual Webers or other non Hitachi? Thanks for the info,Jerry.
