  1. My wagon ran cooler (about 10 deg.) when I removed the condenser...didnt notice any power gains though
  2. well, I finally got this all done with. I am getting $2000 for my wagon after minor haggling. I only paid $700, but I still feel a loss. They did not care that the only GL10 I could find was in WA for $3K. I have a free 88 VW fox that I will be driving now. I will own a soob again...I will be patient for a good deal to come by (not too many soobs here)...If you dont know what I am talking about, check here http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20638&page=1&pp=10 I guess this is 'see ya later' for now. I will stop in from time to time to motivate myself to plan out a killer soob and to check on all of your projects too. still sad,
  3. yeah, I already gave the testimony...theres also no need to change my story, thanks though
  4. do the lug stud wedging into something approach. If its in the front, pull the ebrake as hard as possible. Use a breaker bar teamed with a 4 foot pole
  5. they offered me $475 for pain suffering lost wages etc., not including what the car is worth to them. I did not choose to settle yet...not lookin good...we will see. I went today to release the car to the insurance co. and removed my stereo, gauges, etc. I noticed in the glovebox that the original msrp, addendum, owners supplement, maintenance guide, and dealer locator guide were still in there...good luck finding another with all that in it. I think it listed like $13k new with undercoat and all options. It was originally purchased by an insurance company and it died belonging to an insurance company...poor car. a closer look after I bent the hood up with lots of force revealed the radiator becoming one with the front of the engine, the alternator and battery are now married, and a t-belt broke and numerous odds and ends bent or out of place. It may be not worth buying back. I did leave my vents and roof rack on though, the rack would not fit in the jeep. theres a nice blue one at the jy that looks like someone donated it half way through a head job...hmm
  6. luvmybrat, wyoming is way too far for me...I have a spare car and patience...so I will wait til another one pops up. wjm, they said I have the option to buy it back for the price they would get from a jy...dont know how much that is, but I put too many hours into it recently (crank pulley bolt!) and reseal, cams, new shocks for the hatch (2days before wreck!) etc to just give it up...we will see. Their insurance also said I should get a rental...I thought that was cool...I go tomorrow to clear out my stereo and all that stuff so their 'total loss' dept. can pick it up
  7. ldy k, if you are talking about my GRAY wagon, it is a 5spd 4wd s'ko, I am not out to hose anyone. I just want whats fair. I hope their claims guy is like you
  8. I dont know what it takes, but I have a condenser and the lines in the engine bay if you decide to go through with this.
  9. caleb, I would like to talk after I talk to my claims person and their insurance tomorrow...just to see what they say. GD, I have an 88 vw pending a title, and I am borrowing a car for now...so I have time. 91 loyale, the radiator is busted and its resting on my pulleys. you cant turn the wheels or they will hit the fenders. I cant even open the hood (with decent force) due to the way the hinges bent its just sitting at a tow yard incurring daily charges.
  10. thanks for the advice everyone. I have not settled yet. I talk to the people on Monday. I am not out to hose anyone, even though I am not a fan of insurance or oil companies at all. I want the value of my car plus some for inconvenience. I missed work today and my Dr bill was only $125. I may push for $2500. I will try for it. thats what I feel is fair. because of this I...missed a day of work, I have to go back to school and get another permit, I could not help my sister move, I will have to bum cars or rides to work for a week or so, I could not build a bunk bed that I was supposed to on the day of the accident, so my roomie and I are crammed in this room, my neck hurts, oh yes, and my subaru, with lots of new parts, is dead. shoot, maybe I will go for $3000 or more. this sucks
  11. note the new school parking permit on the windshield. and how the hood vents survived. I also left my stereo/gauges in there for now until I am positive they will total it out.
  12. the go banana! was murdered. A woman in an SUV failed to yield on a left turn. I t-boned her. heres the story: I got my parking permit and ID for school and was heading home on a 3 lane road (each direction). the 2 left lanes were backed up 10 cars or so deep so I was cruising down the right lane at 35mph (limit 45) since I was going to turn anyway. Unbeknownst to me, two cars in the left lanes were allowing a woman to turn left into a private drive. I saw the nose of the vehicle 10-15 feet in front of me and slammed the brakes. It was too late. I hit her at about 30mph, tipped her up on two wheels and spun her 120' while my soob got smashed in and to the right on the front end. It looks like God smacked my roo in the face! She was cited, I was not. everyone is ok, I just had whiplash. now I am waiting for the claims adjusters to give me way less money than my roo is worth to me. They are hard to come by here. I may not be able to get another one...sad day for nutt7 :-\ see the carnage here: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=3036
  13. once heat hits that camo duct tape it wrinkles up a little...they are starting to fade a little too...I could just slap another strip over it and call it a day thanks for looking
