  1. I think meeting in Grass Valley is an awesome idea. we could all go to the yard here and pull a ton of parts and stuff. There's at least 10 soobies older than 92 or so in the yard, but they usually get crushed pretty quickly.... hmmm.... is Green Horn a good place to wheel right now? Do we even want to wheel, or just have a BBQ and hang out? I for one probably will not have a wheeler by then, but i'd love to ride along.... so i'm hearing sunday might work for a few people... is there anyone who can NOT make it on a sunday?

  2. :-\yeah, i know, the guy screwed me.... he told me $300, no problem, then i said ok, went to do the paperwork and all, and he said "oh, i guess actually $400" blah blah blah... jerk. i tried to trade him for my 300zx, but that didnt work either! haha. Anyhow, one plus that there would be is that its sitting next to 10 other subarus, so if i go to the yard i could potentially put in all new seats and a new hatch (the one on this one is banged up) as well as all new interior pieces etc BEFORE i drive it out of the yard and hte guy would never know.... which would be sweet, and worth the extra $100..... BUT I'm just concerned with the things that are wrong with it as i do not know how to diagnose them.... if anyone has any thoughts on what might be wrong woth it based on what i said, that would be good...:-\

  3. it is 4wd, but it doesnt have hi/lo (which sucks cuz i REALLY want hi/lo). Anyhow, the only things i can tell that is wrong with it just from tinkering for a little while is that the ebrake lever doesnt work, i put it into 4wd and now cant get it out, the brakes go to the floor, when it's idling (i didnt even have a bettery in it, and it sat there and ran like a champ:banana:) the exhaust doesnt smell like ANYTHING... just smells basically like air! But as soon as you give it any gas, it smoke out the tail pipe like CRAZZZZY, and there is oil in the air filter compartment..... which i dont know if thats due to the owner filling it too full with oil, or soething worse... and the seats are shot.... that's all i can tell so far.... :eek:

  4. Well my brother and i went to the junk yard today and found an especially "good" looking soob.... so we decided to see if we could get it to run. sure enough about 2 hours later we were driving around the yard! haha! Anyhow, i tried to buy it from the guy, but he wanted 400 for it, which i really didnt want to pay, as it did have a few issues... 84 dl wagon.... would have saved it for 200, but 400 is a bit steep. anyhow, just thought I'd post this up as it was a killer time, and i know ya'll will appreciate it, since no one in my own family thinks its cool! haha :banana: anyways, if anyone wants a wagon for $400, let me know!!! :grin:

  5. not sure if the ECu is all there, i'll check it out tomorrow. the visors should be good, i think the interior looked good.... tell me what i'm looking for with the roof motor + drive system. I'm not at my house, so i dont have my manuals to look it up. i'm happy to pull it for you though if you let me know. the guy is pretty cool, i think the prices will be reasonable.

  6. So i'm not posting this in the ForSale because it's not really stuff for sale! ha... anyhow, I have access to some cars that are going to be crushed, and i THINK i can parts off of them for pretty cheap. anyhow, if this needs to be moved, it's fine, but i'd like to see if anyone needs this. there's an 88gl basically complete and not too banged up outside. '86 turbo, kind of beat up, but the roof glass is good, so is some other stuff. '81 all interior in great shape, and what i THINK is an 83 dl which is basically 100% complete inside and out. anyhow, let me know. I'm in Nor Cal and happy to try and save this stuff for a good price if you need it. pm if you need something, and like i said, if this needs to be moved, then so be it. :grin:

  7. alrighty, so which would be better; a winch mounted to the front bumper which weighs the front down and inch or so, or a portable winch i can store in the hatch or on the roof?? :confused:
