its funny, because i was just about to ask how the performance of those blocks was.........guess i know now:lol:....cheers, brian

hey, is this an all day event type thing?or a few hours and such?or is it like a take a take a trail to the end type deal?sorry to sound dumb , but i have never been to reiters......the whole "east sider" go play in the woods thing is new to me:lol:.... andy and i will be over that weekend and probably staying with a participant,but have other things to accomplish for sure .so i am try8ing to figure out how we can still accomplish this too. because truth be told,this is the only thing i want to do,and see other folks that won't be there.:grin:but biznass is biznass.cheers, brian

well, my 93 dodge 3/4 ton W250 with a cummins diesel is not a throw away.........barely has 160000 miles........

that is SOOOOOOo what i am talking about!nice work,i need a damn tubing bender..........kinda weird to me that you have long track bars like that though.i am not bashing,just trying to understand.i have been wanting to build a buggy like that for al ong time and i am just now learning more fab skills and am getting closer for sure.awesome.cheers, brian

as much as i would love to put an automatic in front of my zookie case,umm not that one.the 5 spd dual range is the usual suspect.sos you can have dual cases........and seeing as how it is a divorced case,with enough fabrication , you could add it to anything......cheers, brian

what tubing bender and notcher have you used on this?cheers, brian

i would love to go to reiters with you guys !!!!!but i will not be driving......so we will see.cheers, brian

if it has been sitting on the shelf for years, i would say that you just need to convince him that if he does not get rid of it now,he never will.:)i would offer him $150 and go no more than $200.we commonly pass around trannies over on this side of the world for 50 bucks apiece. i have seen people pay $250 for one before,but that just seems outrageous to me.maybe i am spoiled.......... cash talks, bull************ walks. he can say all day long that he wants $350 for it,but if he has a had a bad day or week retail wise,he could change his tune with the show of green.use it in your favor........don't let your pride get in your way. i can bet you he did not pay that much for it,it probably came with an engine he ordered for someone and they did not need the tranny....just my opinion.....cheers, brian

what he said^.cheers, brian

i never really realized how many times i used that page until it was gone.......thanks so much for getting it back.......cheers, brian

snow is melting as we speak but it will freeze again on friday.....i say snow will be back next week later in the week like thursday...but noone wants to listen.......cheers, brain

hahahahahahahhahahahhaha beat ya...i dunno why he has not posted this pic.isn't it sick!cheers, brain oh yeah, it is baccarudas wagon.

nice good to hear was not more serious.......cheers, brian

thats funny,i took an 82 brat cable and put it into my 86......weird..and i just bought one for an 84 brat that i put into my 83 wagon......about 3 weeks ago.but who am i to argue with an rump roast.:grin:so, what you state may be the case,but there are always exceptions to the rule.i was not being maliscious in my statement that they are all the same,and did not intend to give misinformation....sorry daveap if i did,but i do not know so... cheers, brian

you have to remember that personal preference is what you are asking about basically.....of course most of the folks on here do there own work.and with that in mind you will get a plethera of "hell ya's"...........but look at your own situation.what are you willing to fix to have a good car,that is 4wd or awd,and can get you anywhere normal folks go?you have to be honest with yourself,are you going to turn into a doityourselfer?that is what everyone is saying.....it can be easier if you allow yourself to be open to learning......cheers, brian

i say that they are crap for offroad.....people have been known to peel the bead back.i would stick with steelies if that is what you have.trade those out for some 15 inch steels. cheers, brian

yes, all ea81 clutch cables interchange,and for that matter i have put an ea82 clutch cable in an ea81 as well! napaonline.com is a great reference point.go to the link that says "partspro" and you can look up anything you want.cheers, brian

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=50400 search is your friend around here......the USRM section of the main board(where you go when you sign in,lists all the forums)is a reference setup for just such questions.;)cheers, brian

the wal-terrains i hqad on the brat for a while worked really well in the snow.not to wide,good tread life and they were right at 26" in the high size of 14" tires......can't remember the exact size though.....cheers, brian

accusations without knowing everything is even worse biz!judge not lest you know the whole ************in situation......... i do not believe for one second that he would have bought them if he thought that they were"hot"........."paranoia will destroya" rooster........cheers, brian

EMPI is a brand.they actually ar eknown better for making V.W. parts.cheers, brain

i think it is the hetrimical diometer........thos ethings go out all the time.:)i would say loose caliper.yep, thats my guess,loose caliper. any grooving on the rotor?cheers, rbian

yeah geez,whats takin so long?

is that one of those "own your own garage" type of places?we just got one here last year.i kinda wondered what the contract was like.....cheers, brian

just remember.everything happens for a reason.although sad,celebrate his life....i am betting he would have wanted it that way. keep your chin up,keep your mind occupied and it will eventually hurt less and less as time goes by. besides , when we leave here we go to a helluva better place.cheers, brian
