Am I slightly REtarded?
I found a samurari that is in a trailer park.It looks like it has sat for atleast 5 years.All 4 tires are flat.There is a layer of dirt on the dash and seats about 1/4" thick.Its a black convertible with a 5 speed.I was about to go offer on it when the guy in the next trailer over said "Can I help You?".I said "do you know who owns this?" he said "don't do it,that guy is really nuts,he chases people off his property,even cops" so I left because I am rather small and I was just by myself. Today on the other hand I might go offer $200 cash with a larger buddy who doesnt really take any sh*t.Just offer $200 then load on trailer I dont need to know why it was parked.Just Pay and damn near lay rubber getting out of there before he changes his mind.So am I slightly retarded?

Should I buy my old brat back?
they want 600 for it.even Though I traded it for a wagon and still had to pay 150-trade in value of brat was 300.The yard that has it says they paid 600 for it...they SORTA did.300 trade in+300 but I only paid 150 for it because the motor on the wagon blew a headgasket two weeks into owning it.Although I still fail to see how they paid 600 for it?The wagon was a trade in aswell..so I guess I wont buy it then.Its on the spokane craigslist

see if you can find FORESTER struts and springs for even MORE lift..Super swampers are really cheap in the size you need for your car.They are only like 85 bucks,And thats for the TSL.

help please
If you want you can put a Dual Range Transmission in there(from the eariler models).That will give you a true 4x4 setup and you will sorta have lo range.Thats if you have the manual.if the have an auto there is a 'duty C" solinoid that you do something with(sorry the new subarus arnt my area of expertise)When you mess with the duty C it gives you full lock up.So 4x4.Run super swampers.Subarus actually do pretty damn well for what they are.One of the times I drove my wagon offroad I went down a trail that normally it takes a serious rig to go down.I had no problems.I didnt know it was a "hard" trail until I met up with someone later and they were like "holy siht are you the car that went down eagle creek!?I quess it was me because I was the only car-station wagon actually, for miles..Im rambling.

Toy VS Sammy VS Sidekick/tracker?
new option.How are dodge Raiders/mitsubishi montero's? I found one with a blown motor and a camo paintjob for 300.The 2.6 mitsu I4 can be found everywhere.cheap.It looks like a more powerfull sammy..And they first started offroading them down under.which means there is some aftermarket for them... here is some info:http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.4x4wire.com/mitsubishi/gallery/evolution/tn_88raider.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.4x4wire.com/mitsubishi/gallery/evolution/&h=99&w=150&sz=4&hl=en&start=11&um=1&tbnid=Td7x81O1VTO5qM:&tbnh=63&tbnw=96&prev=/images%3Fq%3Ddodge%2Braider%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN

Love/Hate?
all of my subaru's have given me problems.Yet I want to go offroad.Then again I could always got buy a samuari,especially because I want a Hatchback.But then I look how expensive everything is for a sammy...So maybe if I get a well maintained hatch then replace the radiator and the T stat right off the bat it will work for a while...I wonder if us offroading objects that were never designed to be offroaded might be why the have problems.If they wernt ment to be offroaded then why do they have a true 4x4 system with a high/low "transfercase".Or why is everything so rugged on them apart from the axles,and cooling system,etc...

The Engine is Almost Done
holy power batman!The EJ22 is normally good for full bodied cars.Your putting one in a buggy...I dunno my offroading style doesnt require gobs of power..But it is usefull.The motor is really clean.Ive dreamt of having a clean shinny engine,but between oil leaks and road grime/mud its almost impossible!

Whats the deal w/these Catalytic Converters?
Nobody seems to steals cat converters here in lewiston.Posibly because almost everyone removes them themselves.I sold my subaru and my saab is low enough that it would be a royal PITA to remove its cat.Although when I do remove I need to find out where I can turn it in..90 bucks for a OEM subaru cat...Maybe its 100 for a OEM saab cat? I didnt find anything near lewiston but Large foreign cats are 110 a piece at this one company out of new jersy regular cats for foreign cars are 65.christ...

Clutchless driving?
I was carless for a while but the cars were still on the insurance policy.I have a new daily driver now its time for a need 4x4...I have a buddy with a towbar.I could either use his truck or my moms suburban...I was just exercising my options as I would rather not pay the gas to drive a v8 automatic fullsize up there...

Clutchless driving?
yea your probally right...

Clutchless driving?
They say that it just got harder and harder to shift,and then it wouldnt go into gear with the car running(I imagine they dont know to to rev match...) AND she said she had the title and started reading it and she said "84 subaru 2dr "HB".I wonder what that could be?
-
Clutchless driving?
Theres an 84 Gl coupe I might buy.Its 4x4 with hi/lo 4 speed.Only problem other than asetics is they say the clutch is blown.It could just need to be adjusted,but whatever.Its in ford washington so about 2 hours and 40 minutes acording to map quest.Im thinking I could drive it down (mostly freeway) by rev matching and starting in 1st.And trying to stay out of towns...I think I could bring a towbar up just in case(I wouldnt really want to try to drive in towns with no clutch) Assuming I can keep it in 4th just about all of the way would it be doable?
