Looking to buy 06 Baja...but want to ask acouple questions first
Seahag1978 replied to dakotajudo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI've had my Baja for a year and a half. I agree with everything that has been said. I love my turbo... especially while entering the highway and passing. Whoosh! One thing that hasn't been mentioned, is that the tailgate will support 666 lbs. so it's strong and can be used as the floor of the bed. There are plenty of tiedown points for securing taller cargo that wouldn't fit in a wagon.

Old School at Wicked Big Meet
It was held at Nashoba Valley Ski Area in Westford, MA. It was great! Yes, I think it was the biggest meet ever... nobody actually physically counted the cars, but judging from the pictures/ticket sales, the final numbers look like around 775 Subarus showed up and well over 1000 people. The Red Bull Rally Simulators were set up, Team O'Neill was there for an informational lecture. Plenty of free shirts, hats, stickers, etc. from vendors and sponsors.The raffle items were many, many, many... and good stuff too... iPod shuffle, Pepper Pod, roll cage, dyno time, track time, $100 gift certificates, parts, (that tach/shift light I won is $245. retail) etc. It's a definite "save the date" for next year!

Old School at Wicked Big Meet
I got the 2 Brats and the Baja to the Wicked Big Meet on Saturday. It was a really good time... I didn't realize how many people I knew there. The Brats sure got plenty of attention! I won a hundred bucks and a massive 5" Auto-Meter tach with shift light that won't fit in the Brats for sure. Here are the pics of the meet: http://www.onalimbracing.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=7073&g2_page=1 Pages 1,7,8,13 BTW, there's a nice shot of subafreak on page 15.

Legroom and headroom in a Brat?
I'm 5'8" and feel fine in either. I did change out the stock wheel with a smaller style wheel. It makes it harder to turn, so I'm changing it back out to a stock wheel. Tim who is the same height feels very uncomfortable in the Gen 1. Check your shoe size on the Gen 1. We have had a few big-footed teens sit in the Gen 1 and they can't use the gas without hitting the brake pedal.

2 gen 1 Brats that I'm possibly getting!
I just know you'll part them out. Please tell me that at least one has black interior. Pretty please... with sugar on it?

Anyone care to meet at the Harrisburg parts stash barn?

What do you guys think a almost new radiator and a disasembled ea81 are worth?
LOL... you beat me to it GD... scrap to most people.

Anyone care to meet at the Harrisburg parts stash barn?
I would give my eye teeth to be there... you of all people know that. I can't even think about it till early July. Priorities rule. I would appreciate feedback from your visit. My wish list, A/C units for both '78 & '86... other parts sheet metal... etc. In other words... comestible parts I'll likely need within the next 15 years. My oldest grandson is 7, and the little "************e" is 4... they're their cars... maybe... if I ever tire of driving stick... NAH!

Your car BETTER be running... it's a month from now! Now, I assume you mean Barq's root beer. Quite frankly, it's the only SAFE one on the market... there's an ingredient in most others that is banned in Europe for human consumption... if you have enough, it makes you sick as a dog... or can actually kill you. I have a severe allergy... it almost sent me to the emergency room. Bad stuff. I only drink Barq's... mmmm.

Southwest ROCKS! Best airline (and most fun to fly) in the industry... never cried poor-mouth after 9-11, never asked for government help... they lowered their rates and gained loyalty... they have smart business sense.

Clutch Cable Snapped... Yikes!
Whew! It was that the cable snapped. I have a new one coming in today. Any advice on the easiest way to change it?

what exactly does pearl do to paint?
Because of this, it's also the most difficult paint process... even the "experts" shudder at the mention of it. The pearl coat has to go on flawlessly. Maaco quoted me $4,000. plus paint, for a pearl finish on a disassembled truck. They were probably going to job it out

Just bought a Brat
As someone else on the board stated... POR-15 is your friend... SUBARU3 recommends Rust Bullet. Rust sucks.. deal with it NOW... it won't get any better! Start with a high pressure wash with "Salt Away" then rustproof everything. My 'Rust-Free CA Car" was driven in salt... but not by me!!!!" It's showing up now... you SOB!
-
Clutch Cable Snapped... Yikes!
Now, we aren't so sure what went wrong... could you still shift it with a borked fork? Please advise. Arrrggghhh!

Need help. Trying to revive old subie.
Listen to the wife Grab another to add the goodies... they're addictive! That plow will come in handy in NH don't ya think? Use it for what it was intended... my vote, restore it to stock and enjoy!

Clutch Cable Snapped... Yikes!
He started it in 2nd. Then he shifted up and down as needed. At red lights he had to shut off the car and restart in 2nd. I attempted to move it myself... it won't go into gear with the engine running until the clutch is disengaged.

Cowaroo!!!!!
Could have been the warmth of the engine. Our black lab most often sleeps/sits in the bed of my '86... mice love it too.

Clutch Cable Snapped... Yikes!
It's Miller Time... I go to pull onto a busy road... clutch pedal to the floor... oh, oh, no return. DEAD. I coast s-l-o-w-l-y to the side of the road... some beastly broad in a Mercedes blares her horn and whips past me, apparently quite annoyed. So, to avoid aggravating any other rich people trying to get to their appointed destinations... I get on the trusty cell and call Tim. 15 minutes later my baby is home and safe. He said it was the easiest car to speed shift he ever drove... he hit 40+ and downshifted when he needed... stopped cold and restarted... there's some skillfull driving. I followed behind in his F-O-R-D F-350... now that was scary... especially since I'm afraid of heights! Whoa!
