Web site was fine, the hosting company changed hands and I had to renew that contract... bleeeeh! :-p Here's another shot of Stanley - this one from the old mill site at DirtFish Rally School

thanks so much! oh I did not know that about Canada? that's interesting! We did get these 2-stroke 360's here in the States from 1968-1970 They are getting to be hard to find in decent condition. I'm super lucky to have found Stanley!

Stanley wishes you all a Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope some of you take advantage of this - maybe I will see you there!!

that sweet smell is going to be coolant sounds like you've got a leak somewhere, time to go through "everything" to find it

this is what i use, page has instructions on how to use it http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/11153.do You do not need to rub hard/apply pressure the clay removes all the crud from your paint leaving is super SUPER smooth you must wax after claying... must must must it's very impressive how well this stuff works!

when this happened on my 01 it required a sleeve kit to fix not a clutch fork not a throw out bearing. Just relaying my personal experience i had a chirping/chattering when the clutch was not depressed. replaced tobearing. noise remained replaced tobearing again noise remained this is what solved it: http://www.smart-service.com/store-tranquil-sleeve-kit.html

most people when they state "hub" mean the housing assembly and not the actual wheel hub. I got what ya meant and that's what I referred to....

I've bent a hub or 2 before. NO visible signs of damage, other than the camber was screwed, and the wheel/tire was rubbing on the strut. Swapped in a new hub - aligned - and all was well again. Note for the front damage Check the control arm and inner tie rod end. 99.999% of the time with side impacts, these 2 items are toasted. jamie

here's the parts diagram - hopefully that helps. looks like a stopper or a bushing of some kind

Best car I've ever owned. love him to death... lol Everywhere we go, people just SMILE There is not enough smiling in this world, happy to share him with everyone. We are off to Oregon for a car show June 10-12th We will be at the Big NW Subaru meet (at DirtFish 7/9/2011) And may hit a few shows here in the Seattle region/area as well Not thought about going to the East side? If you know of a good event - pm me the details! another....

Stanley and friend

I'll be there with a media pass shooting photos/video....

my SOHC - 165k miles - h.g. replaced at around 130k miles no issues since and this is my daily driver (100+ miles per day) very solid car, for me? no real unexpected issues. I'd buy that Forester in a heartbeat for the right price

well... who do you think I took the flywheel to. duh.... A reputable machine shop And they ended up paying for my new flywheel due to their mistake. Again.... I can only speak from experience and my experiences with resurfacing have not gone well at all. Never. Again.

100% agree and I'll tell you why :-\ Once upon a time I had a flywheel resurfaced. It was off spec by less then 2mm... which caused of course - everything to go out of balance Meaning. Tore car apart - Installed clutch, put car back together Started car, entire car shaking like crazy Tear car apart again, to uninstall flywheel Go buy a new flywheel and reinstall <---which is what I should have done in the first place To me? Not ever worth the risk. I learned my lesson.

I have changed my oil every 3 months like clockwork since mile #8 on my 166k mile 2001 RS. Fluids need to be changed - especially if the car sits for extended periods of time and is not driven. Cars do not like to sit. Fluids tend to break down when this happens - as was previously stated. That's one thing I could not compromise on. Your wife is right on this one, sorry!

Hey thanks! Stanley and I have bonded pretty hard though I don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon I'm kind of in love If you're after a van, or truck, or sedan, I can help you find one tho Pm me if you're ready to look/hunt/buy.....

dooo eeet! it's a pretty damn cool experience. bring a camera.....

Less hand movement, more weight distribution. I have very busy hands. I did tidy them up quite a bit by days end. I also realized I am much less of a left-foot-braking driver - and much more of a trail braking monster There is for sure a difference in application and method. (yes, they teach LF braking, even to a complete novice) And somehow, in the middle of all of this, I ended up being in the local news. hahahaaa... how lucky is that?

AHAHA! No, my instructor was very cool, and very patient with me. I wanted to drive how I drive, not the way he wanted me to 'learn' their methods. Eventually, I let go, un-learned - to relearn the tricks/tips/skills they are trying to teach in the class. It worked, pretty cool stuff! I had a fantastic time - seriously ! But yes, admittedly the best part of the day for me was the end of day run where I was finally allowed to trailbrake like a mad dog all over the course :banana:
