My bad for setting it up, then having to blow it off. Next meet I'll bring two 12 packs of the suggested brew for everyone (except me, as punishment) to enjoy. Luke

91 Loyale has 225,XXX. Just did all the gaskets to the heads. I expect at least that much more unless the body rusts off.

Well, for getting all worked up and ready to go. I have to say I'm out. The Keeper of the Schedule says no go on Sunday (Birthday party for her nephew) and Saturday is busy for it seems like everyone. Dang it! And I thought I had it all planned out. On another note, think good thoughts for my Brother-in-Law's OBS. He thought he was all 'Fast and Furious' and slammed the poor thing into a curb.

One week to go! Need a roll call here! Well, need is a strong word. Just reply with 'In' or 'Out'. All there is. If you reply with 'In' I'm pm'ing my number. If you reply with 'Out' I'm pm'ing the IBM helpdesk number. Reply 'Out' to find out.

I'm soooooo looking forward to this. May not be bringing the SubaDoom Wagon, but the Mazda (Spent too much money on the mazda to let it sit). So I'll have the back seats clear to load stuff. Hopefully I'll sell my Trek so I can haul back a EJ22T and if not random parts for the inside to make the Wife happy. I'm still leaning towards hauling the Subaru though. Need to see how she does on longer runs. I'll post my Cell number(ish) after this weekend so we can all figure on a place to meet up. Luke EDIT: Oh, and if Sunday works better please let me know now. I'll try to be (mostly) sober Sunday morning if need be. Saturdays are easy, but Sunday is reserved for hangovers and NASCAR. L.

New door seal at PnP? Had the same issue except for the fact that the door seal would attack me when I got out of the car. $5.00 later the problem is solved. Just a thought.

Do it yourself. I spent 550 on my Loyale (ran like crap). 50 on the gasket set (If it lasts 6 months I'm good) 50 on the Timing belts and pullys (6 Months, still good) 3 days in a Friends garage (Took us two days to decide to pull the engine) Once we figured pulling the engine was the best idea we were done in an hour and a half. Paid him a 12-Pack. So now I have a Loyale that will last me a while (If I decide to take care of it, still up in the air). And it really didn't cost all that much. Where are you located, do you have tools, do you have garage space? If you're near me (Reno, NV) count me in on giving a helping hand. If you're not near me, logic still applies. Do it yourself and save some cash. EDIT: If you're near me I'll trade you a Trek Bicycle (1.5, not a cheezy azz bike) for you're XT as is. Seems fair. You'll still get around anyway. LOL! No really, fix it yourself. Cheap and easy(ish).

Pick and Pull. I replaced all four of my window moldings for less than 40.00 and if you take your time you can ensure the not bending bit. It really isn't that hard, practice on your car first, then go to PnP and pull the parts you need. Good luck! Luke

Dang it. I just realized (I'm sober now) that my Mom and Sister are going to be in town next weekend. So I'll push this off until the weekend of the 16th. Should give more time for planning anyway. Luke

Looking to go to Pick and Pull in Carson and Reno next weekend (May somethingish, not may 2ndish(forgive me, it was bowling night. And drinking is a part of bowling)). Looking to see if anyone wants to meet up? If there are people the want to meet at Carson I'll try to be there by 9-10ish. If in Reno I'm thinking 10-11ish. Anyone? Beuler? I'll have my 91 Loyale, not my Mazda3. PM me for a Cell Number. Luke

See, I should have not gotten stuck on the whole "JDM STI uses 2.0 engine" and really did my homework. I guess I was stuck in Cart before the Horse mode. I borrowed my friends STI one time, and after she got out of the car her exact quote was "Oh H3LL NO!". So now when I go to the Subaru dealership she goes with me to make sure I don't come home with a new car instead of a part. I tried explaining to her about defensive driving, and she tried to explain to me why she needs 30 purses. Neither of us could see the others point. Agree to Disagree I guess.

Due to my inability to gain patience, and serious lack of fund for what I want. I'm changing direction from a EJ20T to a EJ22T. Why? Because pick and pull has a (mostly) complete one sitting in the lot. $156 (I'm not turning in my EA82) vs. $999.99 And the Decision maker says if I don't pull the trigger now, she's going to spend it all on purses. PURSES!!! I'll keep a rolling update here incase anyone wants to point and laugh.

Well, that sucks. Not looking like I can get the setup I saw. Silly kids and their inability to realize that jumping off the back of the couch only works if you jump on the seats, not the floor. Although, he got some really good air time. So, back to my original question, can I / should I get the engine/harness/ecu all at once? Or can I get the engine first and worry about the rest later? Thanks.
