Is anybody from Colorado planning on Driving to the WCSS this year?
Not that I am aware of and I would probably know.

Concensus on why my Weber's acting up?
Probably best directly from Redline if they sell one. I think they are even out near you. My Bad, torrence, california but all the same they list repair parts and such. Sounds like float to me I hope Jerry DeMoss will reply he knows these well.

bobbed brat
Does that require, or benefit from using a hatchback gas tank?

Roll Call for UNcracked EA81 Dash
Id almost kill for that dash today too if it makes it hurt less. After a day of pulling nearly an entire car apart and then using the pull and saves crap wheel borrows on a 105 degree day I think this is still my fault and not excusable.

Seafoamed, now have P0303. Are they related?
ShawnW replied to The Chad's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXId just clear it and keep an eye on the light. If the CEL starts flashing you have an active misfire and could damage the catalyst. That knock sensor is a huge factor too. When they are bad the car will run like absolute crap at times.

Really dumb idea ?
Can you do one where the guy is being crushed by the engine too?

Rolling Tool Boxes....
I have a 54" box that I am selling. Black with Stainless steel top. The top is actually for a KRL box and isn't quite the right one but it works great. Its a "Classic 78" by SnapOn. I need to get $2300 for it. Roughly 2-3 years old. Just like this only with the top on it. http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=storage&item_ID=74163&group_ID=19507&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog

Recent BRAT purchase
I would possibly be interested in helping you fix the brat mechanically and maybe splitting the cost of the parts car. I am in Westminster (NW DENVER). PM me for my phone number and I will call you if you are interested. I am reasonably sure we could find a door at the pull a part yards.

Brat Rear Window Bar Bolts
Probably M8x1.25 a pretty standard bolt on a Subaru. I assume you are talking 86/87 Brat without jumpseats?

New BRAT owner networking
Awesome another from Colorado with a Brat. Im in Westminster and have a Turbo brat. Would love to meet up and meet your parts source too. I dont have a tan dash and finding one around here will be hard but getting one from the Pacific Northwest or midwest without a cracked dash might be possible.

Another Newbie with '82 Subie (Brat)

Suabru 2.5 dohc head gaskets
ShawnW replied to littlecars's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIdle air control valve hose not hooked completely to the intake tube? That hose is about 1" in diameter and goes from a thing near the throttle body and toward the passenger side of the car. It tucks down under the intake tube and can look hooked up when it isn't.

Craftsman C3 Powertool kit
Yup that is the one. Couldnt agree more on the $. I do it for a living and love using it and for me that is worth it.

Craftsman C3 Powertool kit
My Snap on 18V cordless 1/2" impact will take off stuff that 3 of my air guns will not. Unfortunately its also twice the size of a tool to lug around too but I love it at the junkyard.

'82 Brat: Solid Axle Build *** DONE! :) ***
Absolutely amazing I think you need to come out to Colorado with it after you get all settled into the new house.

Sold My Vanagon
So, I sold my converted Vanagon today to a couple in Phoenix. I will miss it. The final trip I took in it was pretty fun minus the last couple hours from Flagstaff to Phoenix down I-17 and the trip across town the next morning. (hot-a/c broke again) This trip was Denver to Phoenix. I took a mostly non freeway trip that my Garmin suggested and got to cover some country I had never seen before. Went to 4 corners and met a family that I got to show the van off to who were in their Eurovan camper. I then went to the South side of the grand canyon national park and took a peek and was rather amazed/amused. Very pretty and worth a trip if you never have gone. I got pulled over by one of Colorado's Nicest highway patrolmen and I mean that sincerely. Some great trips in it for sure. I put around 11,000 miles on it in 4 years which is really why I sold it; I just wasn't using it. WCSS in Oregon Montana to Yellowstone Big Bear California followed by Sacramento and then Home (blown HG trip still made it home) Utah Regional Rallycross at Winter Park a couple years ago. Carhenge (Nebraska) with the 3 guys from CCR. I failed multiple times at getting the A/C to work and am slightly sad about that. Was the only thing I just never got to work. I think the expansion valve was toast now but might not ever know. The new owners are going to do such great things with it and I am excited that they bought it. Good luck vanaroo, aka the "bangbus".

2002 outback, no power
ShawnW replied to osdhero's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSounds like a fuel pump or filter to me. Id start with the filter especially if you have never replaced it.

Wedding --Mine
I am getting married July 5th near Ward, CO to Joy who some of you met at WCSS 7 and the more local crowd at various AWDpirates meets and such. Anybody is welcome provided of course that they don't dress up fancy or any of that crap. Will be short, sweet and to the point. Right around NOON. Would love to see you there. Location is: Brainerd Lake Rec Area, google map address to the actual lake inside the park of 1701 Brainard Lake Rd Ward CO 80481. It does cost $9 to get into this park. You can hike from the gate to the lake along the road to avoid at least some of the $9. I assume the gate is cash only as it is kind of remote. Hitchhike with a friend or something if you want to wait by the gate or something I am sure you can hitch a ride as its per car for the $9. We will also be doing a 14er on the day before (4th of July) if anybody is wanting to tag along you are welcome to. I will post more details on this later as we haven't picked the peak yet. Mods feel free to move my post but expect some welll.....lightning bolts. This will probably be the biggest old school Subaru meet we have had in Colorado in a while. I might even bring the Brat.

What EJ engines are non-interference?
ShawnW replied to SubaruWagon87's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI think the 95 with the roller rockers would be the most powerful as it still has dual port heads. But pretty much the same.

Transmission seized, how to move?
ShawnW replied to kami333's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXTry taking the detent ball retainers out of the side of the trans one at a time and moving the shifter. They are these little plugs that have a 10MM head on them.
