Uh Ohs is right! I wouldn't say I'm fluent in Subaru buuuut I'm pretty sure that given the context and your car issues... that HG is head gaskets. Hope you can make it! On the topic, how's that snow pack lookin' for ya Mugs? Cold enough to come romp around the Idaho woods with us for a day? Heck idk if I'll even be able to drive by then given recent complications with.. well... driving. ---------------- Now playing: Giving Up By Ingrid Michaelson via FoxyTunes

So if I did this correctly, this should be the location we're going to. Let me know if I messed up http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=47.821948,-116.656587&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl

+1000 What they said! Glad to hear you've seen the light and you want to learn for yourself. That's great! I probably know less about this stuff than even you do... but as far as wagon or sedan... living in Spokane and likely utilizing PnS often, I'd recommend a wagon. They seem much more prevalent in there so if you're needing parts, that's your best bet. I have a 93 Loyale and I've gone in there a few times for stuff. Welcome to the Board!

Most everyone on the board would be willing to save a subie. Your best bet would be starting a thread on it in the appropriate area (old gen; new gen; etc) and explaining what needs work. I know a few people in the area who are looking for work and have an immense knowledge of subies. I'm sure you could find a mutually beneficial relationship. also be sure to use the search funtion on here. that said- do we have a head count on the poor man run???

Those are Dank! They're like the pocket protectors of Subarus!

My windshield was SATH a long time ago and as for the black RTV... it was not the trim, it was the groove I was filling in. It's just dripping at the top of the windshield stright down onto the st.wheel and seat. I'm wondering if maybe it's getting in around the top of the door and maybe somehow inside the roof, draining? IDK the anatomy of my car very well... lol Thankfully it's been pretty dry this week.... Maybe, Quid - let me know when you get a pic of the ducctape thing? I'd like to see it before I attempt it...

That's awesome! And yes - the green definitely does it justice! I'm gonna be doing something like this to my rig soon I hope! Great job!

Don't know if this will be of any help or not... but that's what mine was doing too. I unbolted the pump and jiggled the wires. I was told they sometimes just have sucky connections... and it's worked great ever since! Maybe I was lucky, hope yours is as easy of a fix! Good luck!

Man that really bites! I've felt that pain before! Nice work with the ductape though! Make sure to post some after pix once you get this all sorted out - best of luck to ya!

Hey you did! That's awesome! We didn't really take a pic of the crew did we? Bummer... did anyone get a shot of everybody who showed up?

Can I shoot a few rounds? I've been told I'm a pretty good shot.. but haven't had too much opportunity to show my skills... my family doesn't like guns but I do but I don't know enough about them to own one.

Thanks! And yeah... key words there: "Some Day" Maybe once I get my student loans paid off...

I forget the brand but I sealed up everything around the window... it was a black silicone like goop from a tube... anyhow... I made sure to get every single crevice around the window... as I went out to my car at lunch today I sat down and it was freaking soaked again...... so IDK where to even begin now because it's leaking from the same spot still and I can't figure out where the water is coming from... maybe I'll just ductape a tarp to the top of my car... any ideas?

I know that since I don't have a BRAT, I hardly count.... but for what it's worth, I really enjoyed going to Leavenworth... campgrounds werent even full and it was memorial day weekend, its a breathtaking drive, and overall a fun place to visit... I just wish I'd had more time to explore the area. Too bad most the forest roads were still gated off... I hardly got a speck of mud on my car! :-\ And did anyone else get pix? My phone was dead so I didn't get any...

Welcome to the Board! I think you'll find this to be a warm and friendly place with many knowledgeable friends to answer your questions... ok enough with the sales crap stuff... What kinda car? Got pix? Search button is your friend... you'll see that most problems have already been addressed in previously created threads... Anyhow - see ya on the board!

Hello and welcome aboard!!! I think perhaps you picked a bad weekend to post a first hello... being Memorial day and all.. that's my excuse at least...

I speak for at least 2 of us if not more... it would be much more worth it to camp overnight with everyone instead of just an hour or two. more time to chew the fat and get to know each other. That said, I'm so glad to have been able to meet everyone. Definitely a memorable trip!

I've grown up about 15 miles east of Spokane. My brother lives in North Dakota, not far east as you, but still midwest, and I can honestly say the only major differences I noticed when I stayed there for a month were the landscape and accent. I couldn't live that far in because I'd miss the ocean too much. I think Spokane is a nice location, it has all the things a city should offer, entertainment, lights, (perhaps lacking in a night life), food, shopping, music, good/bad parts of town, but it's not so overwhelmingly big that you don't know what to do with yourself. Yes it has the cons of a city, crime and tax and such, but good luck finding anywhere without that. If you want, there's plenty of surrounding small towns that are a hop skip and a jump to Spokane that offer a much more quiet setting, while only having to drive maybe 15-45 mins (depending) to get to work. I love how close you are to nothing - aka wilderness. Rivers, lakes, mountains, camping, boating, hiking, skiing... just tons of outdoors stuff close by.... oh and of course there's the insurmountable Subarus that stalk you everywhere you go... XD Just my 2 pennies...

It's official. I'm going! See everyone there! Do we have a count on how many are going yet?

So I told my dad I was planning on going to this on Saturday and his reply was... "Don't call me when you break down!!!".... Oh ye with little faith... I'm sure ONE of you could help me out!

I dare not laugh for fear it may move on to me next... oh wait! My car is in a constant state of disrepair! No worries here!

most likely it's bent. it had some front end damage when I bought it.. also noticed today that the windshield leaks right dead center above the driver's seat... explains why my pants have been damp....erggggg and its gonna rain all day... :/

oh c'mon Twitch... you know I'm almost NEVER grumpy... do I need more smiley faces? :-p Brat.....

Anyone want to carpool from N Idaho?

Me too! Oh yeah and my hood doesn't latch all the way... I mean it latches... but not to the point that I have to pull the hood release.... not sure why yet...
