Maybe I am bit behind the times but I was reading through SOA's website tonight and found out that the 2006 GT wagon only comes with an automatic. Anyone else bummed about this?

So which one of Tex's cars got booted out of the driveway to make room for it?

Are there any motels in Enumclaw? I would want to go up there Friday night if I were to make the trip.

4wd on an automatic transmission is controlled by an electric solenoid near the back of the transmission. Now from your discription, it sounds like your switch is bad. When you press it in, It should stay in and the light should remain turned on. The solenoid for the 4wd is controlled by the same switch. So if power isn't getting to the light, it's probably not getting to the solenoid.

All of those parts should fit, but if it's still use-able you should use the axle from your 87

I think the main issue was that the organizers did not want to risk loosing the location for future events by making the field a muddy mess. There is also the daylight factor. When there is that much mud, lap times are slow and it can be hard to get finished and packed-up before sunset.

They're expecting more then 3" of rain between now and Sunday.

Here are the pics of took of Lumpycam's at WCSS5 http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=702&sort=1&cat=553&page=1 http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=703&sort=1&size=medium&cat=553&page=1 http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=701&sort=7&cat=553&page=2 http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=700&sort=7&size=medium&cat=553&page=2 If you want some larger res pics, shoot me a PM

I think the ECU will still throw a code for not having a speed sensor, but I'm not sure if it will run in limp mode or not. The good news it that Roxanne should already have one installed from the factory.

Try a different O2 sensor. They don't always throw a code when they start going bad.

Dang it, I have some scrap that I wanted to unload into it before it went the the scrapper.

What year is your brat? An 85 and later model would have come with a hydro lifter engine.

Your owners manual should say what plug to use. You could also checkout http://www.ngk.com/

Maybe Honda/Acura are using that caliper for the rear brakes on a CL.

if the problem is with the 84 that you have listed in your sigiture, there is a drain plug in the bottom of the tank.

any 15" wheel from a subaru should work just fine.

There is usually a check valve in the line. If the pump is running, that would be the first thing to check.

Before WCSS7 I cleaned-up the paint on my 94 Legacy using meguires medium cutting compound, glazing compound, and wax. I use a high-speed buffer with the appropriate foam pads. Here are some before and after shots. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=6868&sort=7&cat=722&page=1 http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=6874&sort=7&cat=722&page=1 Now I'm not an expert detailer, but I have done this enough time to know that you need to use good products to get good results. It also take elbow grease, even with a buffer. Also if you take the plunge into using a buffer, you need to be careful because you can make things worse. Also don't expect the paint to look brand new when your done. Some swirl marks and scratches require wet sanding to get rid of them.

Subarus use dexron ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) for the power steering fluid. If you put something else in, you should read the lable and see if it's compatible with systems that use dexron.

Say it ain't so

A loose oil cap could be the cause too.

It depends on the year. When they switched to the hot wire MAF they also switch to the crank angle distributor

Get a instrument cluster from a Subaru sold in Canada and you should be able to swap out the needed pieces.

The EJ engines will have the model number casted in the block in basically the same place as an EA engine.

I'll try to avoid the flame war and suggest that you check out www.xt6.net ; there is a lot more XT6 info there.
