I have tapped OS, drilled a bolt, tapped that, screwed it in, cut it off flush with the head, and run my exhaust bolt into that - essentially made my own 'time cert', a threaded steel sleeve for the galled holes in the aluminum. I did it all by hand, (air tools) but no drill press or lathe. It's held up fine and I've had my exhaust off twice since then without having and problems of my insert backing out, or the threads weakening. Not a super hard thing to do, but labor intensive. .02

lol

think mine is worth about $200...

ah. thought someone had made some kind of interior vent or something else that was functional rock on (btw exhaust link is broken)

can you post a close up of the roof scoop? very cool car, appreciate the pics and the race story and comments to go with them

screw the car battery go for 220... I'm sorry man, I had my kitchen door bashed in in Everett... I feel ya' you might keep an eye out - some crooks, especially kids, are actually dumb enough to come back after I got ripped off I caught the little prick under my neighbors dashboard and rode him like a sled down a flight of concrete stairs! he had come back to rip off my neighbors car stereo THE NEXT DAY in addition to the 45 casings, how about some nice big (empty) boxes in the drive, like you have replaced all your stuff already... you know, nice big welder box etc... bait no entrapment and no, I wasn't charged for the bloody mess I made out of the idiot

the two door is an odd duck, our cold snap that I mentioned ( 9 degrees here sat oct 10, 13 sun oct 11, 19 mon oct 12) had me so busy with frozen pipes and other maintenance headaches (heaters that wouldnt light, baseboards that failed) I missed your post $35 is about $115 to $145 less than what people are asking, I could have paid as much as $100 for shipping and still been slightly ahead I called some folks on that list that was posted, some of them had the listing but no door in stock, most didn't want to deal with packaging and shipping from east coast to west... my boss found one in Idaho buy calling his favorite junkyard, we are going to go get it Friday afternoon with a work truck and make a day out of it I really appreciate your looking out for me as well as the good folks that sent PM's and emails saying that they had looked (while hunting subaru parts) but didnt find anything

that's still an option I'd like to check into - getting leather seat, wonder if they made those with heaters? our little 13 degree cold snap (set record lows for three days) showed me that some aux heat would be good

holy bat guano what in the world?

I was hoping that some fellow members might keep an eye out for a Cherokee Sport 2 Door 1985-1990 in the boneyards... seems finding a new driver's door is going to be a challenge because it's the 2 door and not the 4. In a perfect world it would be black, but at this point I'd settle for anything. Shoot me a PM if you find anything, I can get cash sent and we can work some finders fee... keep in mind I'm not a millionaire. Thanks.

I like that a lot, it is super clean looking.

Like Tom, I can't be 100%. I only speak for myself, but I have had good luck with the wiring being already there (1990 Loyale RS (Leone?) and a 1987 GL wagon) for many things.

I hate to say this, because I am usually wrong about damn near everything, but, did you check your rear main seal before you pulled the gearbox apart? my own 'transmission leak', was really the rear main behind the fly wheel...

most likely, I've seen it several times now, not just on my stuff, the wires are broken where they pass through the door - the master driver window works, because it's grounding out through the other window circuits but there is a break, or open, in the other window circuits read this: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=95487

and if you roll over, you have flotation devices built in!

There is a place I go, that is a big black hole in night time satellite photos - if you know what I mean. Any help is several hours away by helicopter, assuming you can make it to the ranger station to get the call out... For that I can see the Uber list. Even around here I take some gear, to spend the night if I have to in the winter, but for most mis-adventures the list reads a little heavy. I kind of agree with Twitch, short of BFE Montana/Idaho, South America or Siberia it seems little over the top, what no welder? No portable lathe? It does explain why the Wagon is the preferred rig though

I think I bought a car from him...

:lol: you know they're not really that heavy, it's all in the wrist

This thread is entertaining. Can't believe GD's kind offer, and I think if a Suubie could be rowed over the ocean, he'd help that project too. - he he- but, on topic, I like the black just as you did the lay out in the pic

can I mail you a saw-z-all and a dot the line kit?

Cute helper I decided to start a new thread rather than hijack yours http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?p=857274#post857274

^^^ I agree, I was thinking of something that got rid of the late 80's cross bars myself, but I like what you did JC Whitney has some generic diamond pattern and hex pattern mesh, it even comes in colors red, blue and black IIRC I was thinking of using a red mesh to match my car, and I kept the grill from my parts car to experiment on (in case I didn't like my results)

that's damn brilliant... seriously, that is VERY clever and it looks good
