  1. nice sleeper..I think the pink Hello Kitty airfreshener really adds to the effect too:cool:
  2. Ummm... I dont exactly go for that type of lifestyle...bringing the girlfriend along.. being that I am the girl you know. . Yeah some CT ppl arent to bad Scoobadooba.Though this guy was a NYer. And believe me..I will know when the car is the right one...My Loyale was waiting for me for 5 months before I got him. I looked at him probably 10 times...he would leave the lot then come back.I wait till I get that "vibe" then I know its the right one. And yes..this darn Subaru virus is contagious....I love it!!
  3. Its true!! I was at the gas station down the street getting my tires remounted and balenced and a guy pulls up in an 83 wagon...a bit rusty but not beyond saving..I walked right up to him and said " If you ever want to get rid of that thing...here is my number..if price is right I want it". The guy looks at me like I am outta my mind and replies "this old thing??? why??" I told him I am looking for a project car and turns out he has another one (ok 5 of them) with a solid rust free body with a bad motor 4WD AT (eww). After talking to him for a bit he is another Sub freak.Has a ton of parts for anything 82-84. Well..not sure yet what he wants for anything but he seemed impressed with my knowledge (thanks to you guys) of the older gen cars and Subs in general. Another plus was the mechanic was showing me all the pics of his old hatch he restored .....SWEET!!! He is making me a large Subaru decal for my back window...says I need to wear it with pride...Us older Subaru nuts need to stick together. So Keep your fingers crossed the first guy with the wagon doesnt want to much and decides he wants to get rid of it.
  4. Just a question..I had one of my axles replaced back in january with a used one...you mentioned the inner joint...would this shimmy,shake thing happen only at certain speeds???? Mine shakes pretty good between 40-45 and again at 70-75..I was thinking it was tire out of balance or just a bad tire since I need to replace my 2 rears (being done tomorrow). Just wondering if that axle could be bad again.
  5. [quote name= The dealer talked me into getting an extended 2yr / 24K warranty from Wynn's. Does anyone have any experience with this provider? are they any good? will they cover a blown head gasket? or are they cowboys who cover nothing? any advice really really appreciated' date=' many thanks for taking the time to look![/quote] I had Wynns on my (EWWW) Taurus wagon...they didnt want to cover nothing! When the tranny went bad they only wanted to dish out enough to cover a JY tranny....anyone who knows Taurus' know that they have the worst trannys made. The JY tranny was $600 and they didnt want to cover the labor to put it in. I refused a used one and wanted to at least have mine rebuilt..they still would only cover $600 of the $2400 bill. As for thier rental car reimbursement..they would cover only $150 doesnt help you much when your car is in the shop for 3 weeks. I had nothing but problems with Wynns..they took forever to approve of any work also. Thats just my experience with them..others might have had better.
  6. Being an electrician by trade...I will give ya a little hint..when u cant find your strippers...use a lighter:grin: Have fun!!
  7. Paul discovered this yesterday on an old AC Compresser...We think it was Subarus way of telling Honda something.
  8. It was great to meet you too..and little Rosie!!! I thought she was real good. And her little "nosedive" didnt seem to slow her down any:grin: She is cute as a button! I wish I could afford it or I might take you up on your SVX..just the nestalgia of it would make it sweet to have.
  9. You arent kidding Louis....Paul was pushing that food issue wasnt he?? And Paul....doing that grill for you was the least I could do..for all the parts you donated to Bucky and your advise and just everything.
  10. Hey Paul, You think the Ridgefield police liked it when I ran trough town on my way back and kept telling them they were #1:brow: I agree Mary..these Subaru obsessed fruit loops are great ppl. I was hopeing to get to see you but well all know how things can happen. I still think your Brat is beautiful.. You know I grew up right outside of Carlisle and never really went to the Import Car show but I plan on it next year.Nothing wrong with it being the trailer queen..better than being trailer trash...we save that title for me since I have been called that before.
  11. I just wanted to give another formal THANK YOU!!!! to brus brother and scoobadooba and moosens.. They didnt have to be crawling around on the ground under an oily Loyale today to help fix my exhaust.Words dont discribe how much I appreciate it!! And all the groovy sub parts at moosens...yall dont know what you are missing out on.
  12. I remember how to get there But I am sure ya'll will hear me coming..probably from as far away as exit 15 on 95:banghead: and thats not from my stereo either. I have plenty of boxes...I think they put at least 10 in the back of my car today. And I will sure be happy ... from exhaust fumes!! See ya'll tomorrow ..will be nice to put some more faces to these people who have welcomed me to this fine group of Sub lovers like myself
  13. I just checked the weather and now they are calling for the rain to end friday night and Sat is supposed to be a bit windy but no rain. Good cause I just finished Pauls grill and its looking pretty nice if I do say so myself. ..its not sun baked yellow anymore!!!
  14. You guys are lucky!!!..I cant even get a man let alone one who accepts my hobbies...Cars and Dirt bikes..They all find me to be a freak show or a novelty act. Or when I do have a BF (its been 7 months now since my last date) all they want to do is change me into something I am not. My theory on men is becomeing this..Men are like parking spaces...all the good ones are taken and whatever is left is handicap. Treat your women good guys..you dont find many that will approve of a hobby such as fixin up the old Subaru!!
  15. I will be over Sat for sure...I need that exhaust bad!!! Mine is now officially held on with 3 coat hangers....forgot how loud Subs are without any exhaust..figures ..I told it tis morning to hang on for 3 more days and it fell off on my way to work:banghead: . Plus I want to bring you back the grill..first coat looks NICE!!Going to do a second tomorrow then seal it and shine it all up. Heck if it turns out too nice I will keep it and give you mine:brow: .
  16. I can help ya out on the boxes....already told shipping where I work to save me some decent boxes to bring along....How many you want me to bring??? Plus I was wondering.....How hard is it going to be to "use my girlish charm" and brib.....oops ask for some help on getting that exhaust installed while I am there??? Since mine is hanging on by a thread ..or should I say coat hanger right now;)
  17. Thanks..cant send another Sub to the junk yard..too many of them have met thier fate there..Have to try and save a few of them here in the NorthEast....We have to prove to our children that these awesome cars did exsist.
  18. :slobber: I want it!!!! Too bad I am broke!! And I thought mine was in nice shape ....when I got it. Guess I should go out and get to work fixing and catching up on my tiny rust issues.
  19. I have seen all the stuff Paul has and its definatly worth the trip! I was in Subaru Part heaven!!! I will be there..have to pick up some more stuff and return my little "project" to him;) . Wonder if I should have mentioned to him that I do body work???
  20. I just got back from visiting moosens and he wasnt kidding when he says he has just about anything you need for your Sub. A super nice guy too!!! I brought home one bag of goodies today and will be getting more next Sat at his get together. He sent me home with some of the stuff I need even some I never expected...timing belts and an oil pump!! I cant believe he actually has a complete exhaust too..it was just alittle bit too buried to get today. I just wanted to formally thank him again for everything!!!
  21. Thanks John, I am heading over to Pauls in about an hour. I am funny about preventative maint. stuff since I have been left stranded 2 times now ..not from my Subs though..Once was in VA with my Toyota truck..was stuck for 3 days till I could get someone to pick me up...the truck is still in VA ..broken crank. I was about to go get some JB Weld to gunk up the crack in my exhaust..I am pretty good at back alley engineering:grin: . But I am going to see what the First Subaru Church of the Resurection has to offer first.
  22. I will try and call you in the morning ..I am alittle too:drunk: :drunk: at this moment to even think straight and it 1 am.. I am always willing to help so if ya need me just let me know.I want to root through your goodies ..and will be there next weekend to lend a hand. I understand your 40+ hour thing..got to do that myself or I wouldnt be able to eat. Anyway...I will give you a call in the morning and either leave a message or whatever. Thanks a Billion!!!!!
  23. Yup I have your number ..just didnt want to bother you since you are so busy with everything else.
