The End of NW Washington offroad?
you guys should come run down here once in awhile. the 5 hour round trip on a wheeling day is what scares me off. stuff comes in waves. right now the tide may be out but itll return....

Help! EA82 Intake Manifold/Busted Bolts
1) mark the center of the broken bolt. 2) lubricate with pb blaster or what have you. 3) drill a small pilot hole as deep as you can. 4) lubricate and step up drillbit size. 5) repeat as necassary eventually you will have removed enough material from the bolt that it no longer holds tension. ive had luck with this method. every once in a while reverse the drill and see if you can get it to spin out. Ill add that easy outs suck IMO, they tend to make things messier and less precise. they also have a habit of breaking off. if you screw up and bugger the threads in the heads just re-tap the holes. hth, RV

Carry 4x8 sheets of plywood on the roof rack?
Subruise replied to porcupine73's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI will add that when utilizing strappage of any type to put a twist in the strap anywhere it flaps in the wind. if you dont, you get huge vibrations from the strap acting like a parachute rather than, say, a spoiler. The strap then wears and tears on the edge of whatever you wrapped it around.

knocks while driving in straight line
the lack of change you felt when applying the brakes could be attributed to the brakes not being attached to the wheel cylinder and thus, not moving

Does injector cleaning really improve fuel economy?
i use seafoam through the gas tank every so often, this usually coincides with a treatment of the oil as well. I have noticed a difference but I will say that a 6 month old car should never need cleaned that early.

Gen 2 Rocker/Doorjamb nuances
Im feeling optimistic about success here, my insouciance usually gets me through if I ask enough questions pertaining to the ramifications of the task at hand. School is over rated. I went through the whole thing "wasting" my time on things I felt I should be learning. So far it worked ok, however it would have been nice to have a curriculum based around my interests. But then again, if a frog had wings he wouldnt bump his rump roast when he hopped right?

Gen 2 Rocker/Doorjamb nuances
Can I cut the rockers and jambs out of any gen 2 and use them on my 84 BRAT? side question, do we always capitalize BRAT or is that bad form?

Oh Man, i think im gonna keep it (84 BRAT)
After several snapped bolt I got the front bumper/underbar and front fenders off today. Especially fun was the part where one of the bumper bolts wasnt a captive nut, but instead a nut and washers. Examination reveals slight damage in the center of rad support. I went to town on the crumple zones for the fenders with a come along and a deadblow. I think its better? pics are a possibility in the future. also found intact foglight wiring and relay still hooked up. button is there too, same as my 86 gl wagon hmmm
