  1. Is the very first car a justy? It's funny when they sink it, when the guy hits the wipers
  2. Like I said before, it's gonna be on microsoft powerpoint, and I'm not even sure which version I'm going to use. I've got office 2000 on my computer, and iirc, my dad's using office 2002. I'm sure that the files from 2000 would open with 2002 no problem, I'm just gonna have to see. And it might be at least a month before I get it done, as I don't have a ton of time.
  3. I'm not a huge fan of the new subarus, but I don't have anything bad to say about them. Congrats Connie Is it just me, or does this vaguely remind anyone else of a taurus wagon:confused:
  4. I used to (a few years ago) mess around with microsoft powerpoint, and was quite good at it. I'd like to get back into it, and was thinking about making an offroad subaru slideshow. I'm not sure how many people still use powerpoint, but I thought this would be a fun little "project" for me to do. I'm not trying to steal ideas (i.e. the poster and calender), but I was hoping that I could use pics that are already posted on the board. I could either email the slideshow to those who want one, or I could burn it onto a cd and mail it. All I ask is that whoever would want a cd to just cover shipping. Theres nothing in it for me, except for the fun of making it. You can post pictures in this thread, or pm me saying that I have your permission to use your already posted pics. And anyone who doesn't want me to use your pics, thats perfectly fine.
  5. I'll take 2. I'll give you the money the second weekend in December, if that works
  6. Well, after all this discussion about my coupe, I might end up not fixing it. I might be getting a wagon from all_talk. But this isn't for sure, I still need to test drive it and see how everything is. I'm sorry to all those who posted because you may think it was a waste of your time, seens how I might not fix my coupe. But I know I'll definately apply all of what all of you said to the wagon (if I get it). This may sound like a boo-hoo post, but it's not, because Im kinda glad for everything that is happening. I'll keep everyone updated as it progresses. Thank you all very much, I appreciate it greatly
  7. The 155's are stock, the door sticker says 155/80/r13. It kinda surprised me.
  8. My coupe doesnt have cruise either, but my lead foot makes up for that . So, I'm guessing with all the info I'm getting from you guys, a 5-speed and small things (tune up, 02 sensor) is all I should need to get at least 30 mpg.
  9. I'll probably leave the p/s and the 155's. If I do a 5-speed, I should still be able to achieve 30mpg. All_talk has a fwd loyale, and he says he consistently gets 28 . Connie, I'm assuming Bucky has p/s?
  10. I always thought that slightly bigger tires would give you a little better mileage, since the engine has to turn less rpm's to go the same speed. It looks like I might leave the p/s and the 3at in the coupe for now until I get the wagon roadworthy, its got pushbutton 4wd, and I'd rather drive a 4wd in the snow.
  11. Bucky got 40? Oh, that would be nice if I could get that. And yes, its fwd. Damn, I'd like to see those kind of numbers
  12. I'm there. I don't care if the girlfriend doesn't go. I'm still there.
  13. After my headgasket incident (thread to come soon), I'm going to turn my coupe into a commuter (goal: 30 mpg), and I've got a few questions. 1. I'm definitely leaving it spfi, but I'm wondering, which engine gets better mileage, the ea81 or ea82? 2. I've got 155/80/r13's on it, should I leave those on there? My thinking is, less surface area touching the ground, less resistance, better mileage. 3. I'm taking the power steering out of it, would a manual rack and pinion out of an 85 wagon bolt right in? 4. Not really a question, but I'm hoping to get a 5-speed sometime soon, and I know it'll help with my mileage a lot more than the 3at that's in it
  14. Good pics, I really like those h-styles. I've seen a blue brat running around Eburg with H's and they look badass on brats!
  15. I know it's a long shot, but it could be bent valves? Either that or some of the valves aren't closing all the way. Or something else I just thought of, there could be a burnt valve.
  16. I'd say that they are chevy rims. But I doubt they're 16.5's, I think those were only available in 8 lug
  17. Yup, it was bratsrus1 (Jerry). IIRC, he told me he's going to run an EJ22 with a 5-speed d/r into a divorced t-case. When it's all done, its gonna be sick!
  18. You could flush the torque converter by pulling one of the tranny cooler lines, putting a hose over the fitting on the cooler, and a bigger hose on the one that you pulled off the cooler and run them both into a bucket. Pour ~4 quarts of atf into the tranny dipstick tube, have someone start the car, and watch the lines that are going into the bucket, and whichever one is pumping fluid, as soon as it starts sputtering, have the person inside shut the car off. Repeat until clean fluid comes out. Thats how we do it at the shop I work at, and this method works great.
