The Scooby

well i went and pulled the cash out today, another $40 for my buddy's truck to have gas, and $63.05 for the full size car trailer. it ended up being 69 to 75 miles, not too back my friend josh, who drive his 78 F150, buddy yarith and me cramed intot he old truck and had fun crusin down, seemed like it was only 10 minutes until we where there. took 5 minutes to load her on, josh and i pushed her on, then we got out of there. ends up we stop to let his truck cool a little in the U-district, and my girlfriend calls, there is a 7 car pile-up on I-5 south. so we then decide on driving through the U, down to 99 on the viaduct, then to 509 and home. let me tell you, it got hairy when your trying to squeese a trailer around a round-a-bout and not hit cars. got her home, and the trailer back before they closed, no problems, now i just have to put everything back together on the engine and ill have her on the raod intime for my birthday, april 3rd. thanks everyone for tellin me to not worry, just get off my arse and get my scooby. she is now home and safe, pretty bad when my mom says to my dad that the 87, wagon i got today, is in better shape then my 86 he paid $950 for. lol Shean

ya but thicker oil helps with low oil pressure... but anyways i run pensoil 10w30, i thnik, if not 20w30.

lol, great illistration, i know about the hitch, we are hopefully gettin a drop reciver today, if not im gettin a full size dual axel trailer to drive it onto today. if i cant get the drop reciver we are taking old 99 if we cant take the freeway. should be home by 6pm, we hope.

fox, ya that would suck, thats why we stoped, it almost flipped our truck from swaying back and forth. PHATBRAT: ya im going to go get a cay trailer after school and head out again with my buddy's truck again and try again. if it dont work on the highway, then ill try old 99. see what happends.

well ether way i have to pay atleast $40 for gas for someone, and still need a dolly, there is no way im using the one i tried to use yesterday.

PHATBRAT, thats why im waiting to get a full size trailer, rather then go back with another dolly, i might see if my dad will use his 94 mazda, its a V6 and a 5sp. but it doesn't ahve a reciver, onle a ball on the bumper, do you think that will be strong enough to haul it? but then he doesn't ahve hook ups for the lights and doesnt want them. so i have to find someone with lights and a reciver.

ok, the subaru has no tabe and the dolly we used, no ligth on it, truck was fine. plus i dont really want to drive 90 miles south on I-5 doing 45mph. also there are no other roads to tak other then old 99, but i dont know that road, i might end up in butt ●●●● egypt and i cant do that now. so im going to have to rent a full size trailer today from U-haul, then find someone with the trailer hookups, lights, 2inch ball etc, and make sure they have a car with an overdrive tranny, because i have $88 in my bank account, and the trailer is $50 plus tax, so that means i have like $30 to pay for gas. this royally sucks.

doesn't run, otherwise i would have risked it and driven her home, if not then have my girlfriend, screw towing it. and you cant really tow slower because your on a main freeway, and if you go slower you get attition fromt he cops which is what we dont need, expecally with expired tabs and lights that dont work.

yes i knew to lock the wheel, and it was strait, but also found the tabs are bad, so i have to flat bed it. and im not 18 so i cant rent the bed, life sucks again...

lol, thats pretty good, but ya we just had a 2inch ball on his rear bumper, not even a reciver, got one tonight though. tire pressure was perfect, right at 35 in subie, and 37 on the drive up dolly. and the dolly was jacked up, the kid i barrowed it from told me that it was in a accident before he got it, he fixed it though, he said the whole frame was pushed towards the passenger side and all he did was try to straiten it and welded it up.

well got everything loaded up and finally left today at about 1.20pm today to head north to bellingham to pick up my $1.00 87GL wagon. head out, finally get there, lock her own to the dally, get paperwork signed and stuff... head out onto the road, well we are using a dam lifted F150, and every time we touch the gas or hit a bump the dam ramps hit the ground, so we say ●●●● it and keep going. well we then jump onto I-5 south, get to speed, car fishtails. ends up if we go a hair over 55mph it starts to sway and BADLY!! so it ends up i had to leave my new baby at a rest stop on the side of I-5 until i can return to pick her up with a flat bed trailer, or get the cash to pay a tow company. so life sucks, paid a dollar for a sweet looking blue 87GL, MINT, ABSOLUTLY MINT blue interior. just needs a little engine work. so if anyone has or knows of a flat bed trayler that i can barrow, or if you could tow my car to my house i would pay you. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP A BROTHER OUT!! Thanks, Shean

well if i get the d/r 5sp tranny in and the lift ill be down with my new wagon im gettin tomarrow, if then ill come with a buddy in his lifted F150 so he can break it in if thats okie? Shean

well i ope to be gettin a 87 wagon, if thats true then i might build up the wagon, or the brat since the brat wouldn't need any more emissions. just swap on all its suspension, engine, and a 5sp d/r tranny.

was thinking today about tha brat i might get, its a 1980 4sp, 4wd. by the way, the reason im stuck on a 1st gen is because they look sweet, and i can get it for pennies on the dollar, running and driving. what i was thinking was a EA81 rearend with suspension, front crossmember off a EA81 car. put in a EA82 hitachi powered engine, with a d/r 5sp tranny. would this work, plus put a 3inch lift on it with some 27's. wouldn't that cover all the problem area's that i would have over lifting the stock 80' brat?

ya it sounds good, i can put on a single cat, so you can pas emissions, then run 2.5inch system back to maybe a glasspack, or the same muffler as me, a Thrush turbo muffler. just have to pick up some mandel bent piping and such to build everything. ill bring my car in and get the measurments and such that you will need.

bored at school... free bump

what do you need run, from the block back, from cat, what? most likly i can do it at my auto shop class if you want, its located in sea-tac. but if it needs to be done "profesionally" then look up a place called sunnydale muffler in burien. i had 3inch dual exhaust ran from the long tube headers to the back bumper for $97. i could do it for probally $50, maybe more depending on with you want. that is if you want to not run cats, otherwise i wouls say to go to sunnydale. Shean

ok im intrested in doing this, i hate having d/r 4X4 tranny, i want the true subaru full time 4wd settup. now i can get a 5sp XT ranny for VERY cheap, but firt how do i know if it is FT4wd? and if i do get it and it is AWD, what do i need to also get to put it into my 86 GL wagon, my wagon is a 5sp car. thanks for any help, i tried search, but really didn't find what i was looking for.

so if i got a full time 4wd tranny out of a XT car, all i would have to also get is the front CV's and get the driveshaft and it would swap into my 86 GL 5sp d/r 4wd wagon?

exactally, up pop the cover, and weld the "spider gears" together.

ya but i want to see them on a EA82 car.

can anyone please help me find some pictures of some 15" alloy pugs. the ones with the black striping on them. i want to get a set for the wagon, and i want to see what they would look like, if i want the 15's, or keep my 13's. or if anyone is intrested in trading me a set of 15's with good tires for my 13 Enkei's and good tires PM me. Thanks, Shean
