TheGoat

Anyone?

Going to need some machine work done soon and am wanting to know if there are any good machine shops in central Iowa that know how to work on Subaru stuff. Thanks.

I'm not leery of doing the HG's, but I was kinda eying bh's longblock and had visions of making myself a turbo Forester. I'm sure it can be done...

Well, actually, I was just thinking about starting with the block, changing crank, rods, and pistons, bolting on newer heads, and keeping the Forester's wiring.

Would this motor be a good swap candidate? The 'ol Forester has HG issues, and am contemplating a swap rather than a fix. Opinions?

Thanks alot! Going to use this this weekend. The Goat's going back under the knife.

If you know of a good write-up, could you reply with the link? Thanks.

Thanks! That's probably what I'll end up doing...

Nada @ O'Reilly's...jeez.:-\

Well, Advance is a bust...I'll try O'Reilly's.

Good lord, I'd never go to our Subaru dealer! But thanks for the reply, I know your heart was in the right place.

NAPA = no Autozone = no ??

Now THAT's an idea! Seems the easiest solution. Thanks!

Thanks guys! Gonna try "bending the arm" this weekend.

Hello. I've searched on this topic quite a bit (so refrain from the flame, puddin' tame) and haven't been able to determine if I can buy a replacement rear wiper arm for The Goat (aka "the rusty hunk"). Problem: The blade isn't pressing hard enough against the glass to do an acceptable job of clearage. I could put a little more "spring" in the spring, but if I had my druthers, I'd rather just replace the thing. Question: Can I buy a replacement? If so, where? Thanks, That poor guy who bought that car.
