The mass majority that I saw were 87/88 sedans that were 1600DL 2wds. VERY strange to see a car that should be an EA82 with a 1600!!! I have a bunch of pictures, I just havn't uploaded them yet. I'll just use this thread when I do get them up. Later, Tim Okay, hears Some pictures: http://usmb.net/gallery/Israel-Subarus

Spend $28 and buy the "pin socket" to remove the BIG ring nut. It will save you alot of time and trouble.

Hey Roi, I just got home from Israel. I didn't have your number or I would have called you. I did call Erez a couple of times, but we never did meet up. Sure would have been cool to meet up with you guys, but Nevitim AB is a looooong way from anything...LOL. You are right about 'Rus in Israel they are everywhere. Have a good one, Tim

Order the universal mounting kit and if comes with the correct wire guide too. I just took a propane tourch and melted the lead end off the cable to run it through the hole. I'll take a pic when I get home, if I remember. Tim

I have never seen so many Brats in one place at one time. The Bedawin Nomads have them out with there camle flocks.....LOL. There are a tonne of other 'Rus here too. I've tried to get as many pictures as I can, but usualy we are driving somewhere when I see one. I could fill a C-5 with them and just bring them all home to the Subba Ranch No longer is Montan or the PNW the golden land of Subaru, Israel is where the real gold is. Later, tim

Thanks Kurt!!!! faithwalker303@yahoo.com Vicky

One week to the day and the Ruzilla is home where she belongs....Tim will be sooooooooo happy to know his baby is home... (if he ever gets to get in touch with me....) But the guys where great!!! Wants us to come back and go mudding with them... and to just look them up when we are in that neck of the woods... P.S. Kurt do you have a phone number or addy for the farmer so I can send him some money also... Thanks Vicky

Kurt you are a GREAT GUY!!!!! Thanks everyone for comming through again... What a great bunch to be stuck in the muddie uck with!!!!! I told Ian yall would come through... Kurt I didnt know you gave the farmer anymoney from what I saw here no one said anything about giving him any... OK Fox and the crew. said they would help so Im sure they will... I was reading my post and I didnt put a nt on my dont and it looked like I was comming across as peeved and I wasnt I promise... I was going to get a few extra dollar in the morning from the bank if no one answered this and give it in the name of the board... But thanks to Kurt it is taken care of.. again Kurt What a GREAT GUY!!! Thanks Again EVERYBODY!!!! Vicky

This is Vicky.... Just got off the phone with Ian, and is bringing Tims car home Sat. night... Those who where at the meet know me and Im not a harsh spoken person so please dont take this as such... Ian said none of the people with the cars stuck gave him any money, Just Tim and I... 150.00 to split 3 ways... These guys may not have gotten your cars out but they did try, They went out in the rain and nasty mud with their high dollar trucks and 2 of them got some damage.... besides that they used alot of gas and everyone knows the cost of gas today... and the cost of washing the trucks... So if everyone could pitch in and send these guys a few dollars then maybe, someone can call on them again... Lets not show them the USMB people are not grateful for their help and give us a bad name in that town.... Tim and I have put ALOT of money out on this trip already.... Our hotel room, and another one for some of the other guys, that was over 100.00, 150.00 to the guys, and now 300.00 to get Tims car home cause he was trying to help others... so Im sure everyone can come up with something... Thanks Guys!!!!! Vicky

Attn: Shawn..... As soon as I get Tims hatch home.... Ill check to see if your pry bar is in it... If it is Ill get it into the snail mail ASAP... Going to call Ian tonight about when he will be heading this way for our little run-a-way hatch... Vicky

This is Vicky....(using Tims log in) my vote is.... 1) McBrat 2)Shawn 3)Tim (I know what he has in that animal.) He would have made it out if he hadnt tried to pull the Van and Trashwagon and burn up his Luke Clutch....

Thanks Kurt!!! You are great!!! (As everyone who was there) I mean you where right there helping everyone!!!! And you had worries of your own but you keep your cool and first in line to "DIG" in there.... Yelp the number you got is our cell and I have to turn it off when Im on route... sorry... The guy with the Video camera is Dave... He called me last night and he made it home in one piece!!!! Who would have thought this would have happened, Some one at fault... YEAH!!!!! MOTHER NATURE!!!!! Keep the faith everyone... Vicky

Has anyone heard anything on Tims car??? I still havent heard from Ian... Any thing will help at this point... Id like to have the hatch home before Tim gets home in 19 days and counting..... Vicky

Thanks for all the offers of help guys. I did give Ian and his crew $150 for their time and trouble, hopfully they will still be able to help others. Later, tim

Exact same thing on not one but two of my EA82 wagons. If you go for revese with out the clutch, just enough to get a slight grind, it will engage then too. I tried replacing the bushings to no avile. Tim

See my part of the story on the post for the show in "meet and Greet". Tim

You just wouldn't believe today if you were there. last night I got a couple of local boys with big Fords to come give us a hand. In the rain, and mud, and blood we tried for all we could. The one truck broke the other narrowly escaped being stuck with us. Went back out this morning, just a sloppy sticky mess. I honestly have never seen mud like this, pure gumbo is the only way to describe it. Four got out yesterday: Dave Valient, McBrat(who wisely turned around and went back), a silver EA82 wagon and Vicky in DRTYGRL. After about 2-3 hours this morning, the cops show up. Seems one of them owns the farm on one side. They ordered us to immediatly stop and get out of there. I'm tired and hungry, but I got over being cold from a hot shower at the Super 8, with, by the way, super nice people to even let us stay there. The guys who were trying to help us were also the best!!!! We left shortly after getting chased out, with arangements for Ian (local guy who was helping us) to deliver my hatch. Funny side note, we stopped for gas on the way out (I'm head to toe mud including mud dreds) and the girl at the counter asked if we were some of the ones who were stuck, gotta love small town America. I'm sure there is more to come as others trickle home. Tim

We have company too......... Dave is here. See you guys in the morning:cool: Tim

I'm just doing some finishing touches on cars, I think We'll be leaving at about 0730 Saturday morning. Major bummer that you guys from MN, and MI won't be able to attend. We will miss you but I plan on taking lots of pictures. same here with "drive to arrive". Godspeed, Tim

Okay Mick, I would be interested in a 3"x3" Jeep decal with the red circle/ over it. infact, I'd really like about 8-12 of them for the front fender of my Hatch..... like on WWII airplanes for enemy kills:lol: Show me what you got. Later, Tim

Check the drop and rise of the float. Adjusting that will make a huge difference on several aspects of preformance. Tim

You guys suck!!!! (J/K). I've been through Bozeman and the "Subby Game" gets nuts with everyone in the car shouting "Subaru". That's the worst thing about living in the rust belt, we get excited if we see and 84 wagon, not to mention hystarical over a gen 1 wagon (That guy must have thought I was a loon, waiting for him outside the store).

Welcome:) . Always good to hear from a new frend from Oz. Cheers, Tim,

Yeah, what Boz said!!! Don't miss the ones down on the rocker or inside the door jam. Tim

Okay I just check the acctual size of 205/75/14 it equals 26/8./14. Mine got the piss cut cut out of them in the front and the back rubbed on EVERY bump. 175/70/13 are only a 23" tall tyre. Try them out, before you cut and let us know how yours comes out. There are alot of veriables, like the condition and highth adjustment on the susspention etc.
