I'm thinking of putting a snow plow from a ATV with an electric motor on my wgn. Has anyone ever heard of it being done? Any suggestions, examples? I'm only going to plow my driveway with it. I know how hard snow plowing is on a vehcile. Also already saw the red soob with the tall verticle pipes. Figured OB shocks and big aggressive snow tire all the way around.

steering wheel is turned a little left, but the alignment seems just fine. sounds like you may have bent or moved something while you were mudding. If a shop aligns a car and the steering wheel is cocked then the job wasn't done right although the wheels maybe aligned. If you go mudding and come back with a cocked steering wheel and werid handling something is wrong.

Hey Dude check again in Great Britan one is guilty until one proves themsleves innocent. If you want Britan's system I suggest you move. People left Europe came here and made a better country. Europe has nothing on us. Violence comes from the devaluation of human life not training cops or anyone eles to protect themsleves. Sorry to rant but when I hear people say the anywhere is better than here I gotta respond.

Sorry to hear about this cole. I know what you mean. I was a town cop back int the 70's. The cops were different then. Most of these guys today can only cite or arrest people if not they ignore 'em. Your former empolyers will probaly lie right to your face at a hearing. The higher up the food chain the lower the life. I hope you make out.

That is excatly right. I never tighten any bolts on anything until they are all started. Also if a bolt is frozen try to make it move by tightening it. You'll be surprised how easy it moves in the tightening direction. Then it's just as easy to loosen it. Works most of the time. Great way to loosen brake bleeders.

The engine comes out because it's being pulled out by the hoist. Next time watch the motor it jumps forward a bit when it clears the mounts. The first time this happened to me I was for a long time. but yeah the dogbone.

Oh yeah I've done it too many times. My OB locks when the engine starts. Start the engine get out close the door, clear the snow, try to open the door OH CRAP!!!. pry the window back wedge it open slide a heavy gauge wire with a hooked end in there grap the door latch with the hook and pull fast.

That looks just like my OB. My 2.5 lasted 180K before the HG issue. I didn't know about the issue at the time or USMB and was mislead by the subaru parts counter guy. So i replaced it with another 2.5 w/ 60K that lasted about the same amount of miles. About 4 years. They are great cars I miss mine but I have a 2.2 for it so it won't be long the OB will ride again. Buy the car then start looking for a 2.2 to replace the anchor in there now. After a long test drive check the overflow tank for the cooling system if you see small black spots floating around in there then the HG is starting to appear it doesn't happen all at once, that should get the price down. Good luck and enjoy!

thanks JT I found resizing features on pc and did these over. Hope they came out better

Fiats were fun cars for short periods when they ran. Followed by long expense periods of repair. Those disks made in china, some have a coating on them that can only be removed with hot soapy water! Had a issue with my ob shaking while braking, after a complete brake job. The new rotors were not warped. After taking .005 off each side and new pads the problem was gone. My parts guy told me about the coating. Says once you use the brakes the stuff becomes embedded in the disk and the pads. The disks needed cutting and the pads changed.

A friend of mine had the agreessive on vehicle code enforcement problem. After he removed the car he replaced it with a stack of refridgerators, drove the neighbors crazy. He long ago got rid of the fridges and now has a parts car there from time to time. No one says a word.

So far!!

I wrap the sprokets with rubber and use a 10" chain wrench to hold em. Works for me.

My wife has the same car w/ a auto. Not much I can tell you. We've had zero problems. She payed $6000.00 for it 4 years ago and beats it like a $5 rented mule, she's ALWAYS late. Offer him $4000.cash see if he bites.

I haven't read the whole thread but if nobady mentioned it "Just at idle the rpms flucuate " is often time a vacum leak. Check all the vac hoses.

I tried to post pics but I get an error message telling me the file is too big 748K limit is 50k. The pics are 10 megpix I'm going to retake them at 3megpix. See if I can get the file size down. I'd like to show it off. I don't often find deals like this, I'm a happy boy. The icing on the cake was last years tax return came in today had a dispute with the IRS. I won. I got my refund plus $447.00 interest. So the car is payed for, and there's money left over.

Just bought a 1997 impreza 4dr sedan 2.2L 80,000 miles on rebuilt eng. I was going to yank the 2,2 for my OB but this car is too nice. Mama scerwbaru is going to wind up with this one. I'll yank the leg wgn's 2.2 I'm driving now. How much you ask? $800.00 US. I tried to attach pics but I'm having a problem. File is too big. No body damage or rot needs ground lights in bumper and the heater control needs work. What a great day so far!!

"The lower driver's side engine to tranny stud/nut is not fun. Very tight in space and torque. I use a flex socket and extensions from below. Pass side (lower) can be reached from up above after the air box and lines are removed." I've also used a comb of extentions (wobble) regular / univerisal and reached this nut/stud with the rachet at the tail of the tranny. Plenty of room to swing and get leverage. Good luck I'm doing this soon myself.

Good thing to add the the USMB repair manual. Thanks for the post I have a 97 OB MT also that was doing the samething. silly me I was thinging the ECU. I'll but this on my todo list when I get a 2.2.

Maybe he's a mailman.

Could it as simple as the gear at the bottom of the dist. not turning the rotor? take the cap off crank the motor and see if the rotor turns.

The icon made me lol. Thanks for the link.

I agree. If it starts and runs smooth then you got "lucky". Also I doubt if it ran long after impact. If it sounds like a subaru when its running than the lack of oil after impact probaly didn't hurt it. Of course being a 2.5 it's just a matter of time before it craps itself anyway. Good luck!

I think thats a check valve / vac has to reach a certain hg before it opens.

Porc, love the sailor icon!
