Who's staying where?We want to either get a cheapy motel or camping cabin.We're probably not pitching tents with the family on this one.Rather pay and be more comfy,less effort. I just want an answer to who's staying where and maybe some price quotes if folks have enquired. Thanks,sorry for the 'tude before.I think you guys understand.Actually,the east coast crowd is mostly all cool.

I have yet to search anything from this Board.I would never expect a list of people along this person's route to be posted.I don't understand what's wrong with this thread. Xtreme-Can you copy that thread here?

I'm in Bridgeport,CT and my workshop is in Milford. Feel free to email me or use PM here and I'll give you my number.I'm about at your midpoint from NJ to ME.

Dave,I have an XT6 F/T 5spd that 2 guys are interested in right now. You've helped me often and I think they'll have to understand if you need my tranny. Let me know.Call or email. Good luck with it.

Yes,but just more difficult.Helps if you have the little plate the dealer techs have for lining up the head.You might be able to borrow one if you ask you local dealer.Good luck. Always best to take the engine out.When you get to know the lines,etc it's real easy and worth the effort.Even at first time,as long as you have time,you can get all the connections right with a little tape and a marker. The OHV engines are much easier than the OHC's -when in the car.

SVX owners only get bread and water. No sweat,see you soon I'm sure....old wagon in Westerly was it? Louis,better cause,hope it wasn't too windy for you all.We'll see about next weekend.My repairs "should" be done by then.Maybe we'll attack the stockpile....if you dare. Thanks Gabe,that's right.I was actually often deleting my posts that were no longer necessary.But the mods decided to play George Bush Inc. and take away my right to do so.......JUST KIDDING YOU WANKERS!!!! But it was a nice option for the user IMO. Hey guys,Gabe is a great guy,lemme tell ya.He and his girl stopped by to say hi,drop off some goodies,and helped me put my engine crane(insert favorite name) together.I get the feeling if I didn't go get lunch he'd have been working that Turbo engine out with me. Thanks again Gabe!Have a great time.Hope to see you on your turf in early April.

Need a helper in Milford,CT Saturday 3/13/04 from 10AM-5PM Will buy lunch,etc,etc..... I have a lifter now so no back breaking. Basic wrench turning,assistance,maybe help with the parts. Moderators,please delete after Satruday.I can't seem to delete posts like I was once able to.

Let me know when you go. What ever happened to the desert section in Rhode Island?It's near exit 5 or 6 if I remember right. There's got to be some decent spots left in southern NewEngland.My corner of CT is tough.

You go Tom! I've got XT6 and XT stuff around right now if you need something.Good luck.

Curious....does it have a nickname yet? Screaming Blue Meanie? Just too sweet!!Can't wait to see it up close. That sucker is going to cause a stir at Carlisle.I'll bet there's at least three more like it by next year.Only bitch is it'll drive up the price of Brats on the east coast.

Consider stopping to join in on any of several "local" events. Watch for a PA Junkyard Run post soon.We hit the eastern PA yards.One of the better sources for your car. Then there's the Carlisle show.Your car can indeed be entered,and be respected by thousands. http://www.carsatcarlisle.com/schedule/import/index.asp We also meet at Wharton State Forest a.k.a. "Pine Barrens" in NJ.It's not far from you.Most of us drive a good 3 hours more or less to get there.It's sand trail offroading but you can leave your car in the grass lot and ride along if you want to. And then there's the infamous gatherings at my place in Milford,CT Check for any shindigs goin' down in the near future....including a huge blowout of free and dirt cheap parts for your car.I'm getting rid of a heap of EA81 parts,and more.

Wow,I'm not happy about hearing those NAPA stories.I just got an ARI axle from them.Hey,if it blows I just return it. Also,the guy said he'd take whatever axle I brought in even though I'd be getting another 25T axle for Turbo manual shift. So far my local NAPA has been great for me.Most parts I use are dealer but for axles and radiators I don't have a problem (yet) with NAPA.

If it's getting close and we're still a few short I'll register 2 more cars.Bringing them will be another story.But I think we can kick in a few bucks and get our 25 if we need to by adding a few vehicles. Should it come to that I'll gladly allow any New Englanders (locals in general) to drive one of my cars down. Besides,my daily pride 'n joy is my Turbo wagon these days.And my touring wagon is my truck/tank/off roader also deserving worship. Would I register my wife's '96 Brighton?......only if absolutely necessary.But that's only because I have older Subarus too.If you only have a Legacy don't let that stop you. Trust me,there were WAY too many new Saabs there,and Volvos,to make a newer Subaru look out of place.

ANY Subaru Go for it!

It's just a baby.Good luck with the next hundred thou.

Rah Rah Rah......thanks for Sign up or croak off. 2 registered as of right now.

Is it anywhere near the yards we want to hit? Saturday? They accepting older Subaru company? Can only make it if we combine a yard run,etc.

Shawn,I can send them back this week but if you can hold out one more week that'd help. I could not make it up to the dealer with the NOS but I'll be there someday early this week for sure.He's going on vacation Thursday so I must get there before. The manuals are indeed safe and I'll gladly send themwhenever you need them.Just email me please if you need them right away. Those seat did not ship.I still need another large box,been raining on the days I could hunt for boxes.....you know how that goes. Big week ahead.I'll be emailing you as stuff flies out of here.

EA81 was available in '79 wasn't it?

I got mentioned!!!! .....I don't know if I should laugh or cry. :-p

.....if people have slipped the tranny out without taking the exhaust down.dats wut i wanna noe.Or with just moving the exhaust and not the engine. Looking to see if someone had done more than one method and knew the quicker or easier route. I haven't had time to get back to it today.I'll be there later when its dark and raining. OK group Stooges slap!

Uhhh,thanks.....I'm very familiar with taking engines out and have done some work on EA82T's.I always pull the radiator and drain everything...usually. I'll be back. :cool:

Talk to me.....

Victim:1987 S/R 5spd Turbo wagon from outer space I've got a clutch kit,rear main seal,sweet flywheel from Skip also to be installed.With that said,can I do all this with just yanking the tranny back?Drop the exaust?Not drop the exhaust? I just started taking stuff off tonight.I'll be all over it tomorrow weather permitting. My current plan was to jack the motor-unless my friend comes through with the lift-roll the motor forward,then lower the tranny with it's crossmember and lower it as I back it off the front crossmember. Also noticed the power steering pump mounting bolts are way under the intake.Do you guys disconnect the lines if you're not lifting the intake?I normally put an EA82 n/a power steering pump off to the side when lifting.But,if I don't have to lift to swap the tranny,etc........ Any advice appreciated.

THere's one in Milford,CT The house is "not fit for occupancy". The car is covered with mold.THe seats are wasted.Sunroof-looks non factory-apparently leaks. That funky metalic light green with light brown interior. Seats were formerly known as the Bay City Rollers stage wear.(plaid). Has wagon wheels and a roof rack also.Evenhas the chrome wheel trim rings. I have no idea if I'll even be able to get this but it sure looks obtainable.The property has been looking like a junkyard for years.This is the last car.Been sitting there for a few years now.
