  1. "DVR like the you know player thing" says Pee Girl. Wasn't good enough for ya? Good to see everyone, great weekend and as promised I delivered on the rain for ya! Seems Dave an Melis have already bagged for next year. Would rather hide in a parking lot in the middle of no where with the dying SVXs then show them off and try to get some new blood by sharing them with the 10k or so people who come to the show. Hope next year is as low key as this year, aside from Matt getting into fist fits with fellow Chrysler owners. I think it was a insecurity thing about his new LeBaron.
  2. My Tasmin is washed, soft and hard waxed, loaded up (with a chair), oil changed and new spark plugs for friday, just need to find a antenna to cover the hole where the last one vibrated out tonight, what about your rides?
  3. Got mine today. Looks like they have me parking in the import section. How many inches of rain are we gonna get. Lets start taking bets now!
  4. :confused:I'm not taking the legacy:confused:. Besides, I get 3 free 50 mile tows with my $144 a year 12k agreed value insurance. If I was Hocrest, I'd be all used up by what January 3rd?
  5. Bring a 5 gallon can of gas so I can make it to a gas station when I run out.
  6. Nope it doesn't suck. Yet at least. Weather is starting to climb today. Tomorrow 91, Sat 94 and Sunday 95:mad:. Only 14 work calls thus far, got down in about 4.5 hours pretty smooth through DC then traffic would come to a standstill every exit south for about 45 minutes. Jag averaged 24.5mpg down with what 3k worth of trailer and load. Do that with your Baja. Only got it up to 90 once or twice. For comparison the Legocrappy averaged 19-21 going to Wildwood. Angie is very much wanting one which makes that XJR less of a dream:banana:
  7. There will be at least one exotic there. That is provided the TVR doesn't run out of gas on the way there. Don't worry, you'll hear it coming. Even if you're still in Conn. I'm in agreement with ya that it isn't what it used to be. Too many old farts spent too much money on the vintage stuff to be willing or able to drive it to a show.
  8. Just registered with ya but won't be parking with ya'll. Don't want any Subies to leak oil on my new paint. It was a tough choice. Almost registered a bike. Glad to see they're including vintage import bikes with the show. HINT HINT Paul:banana:
  9. Cool, might even try to put some 225/60r16s on it as I hate steel wheels
  10. Looking for a couple extra inches of height out of my beater obs. A friend has some outback struts. Has anybody fitted outback struts on their obs or imp? If so any issues and how much did it raise it?
  11. No it isn't a resonator. It is in the y pipe. Last freaking new Subaru I buy, they're now built by GM rejects!
  12. I know the cats are warratied for 100k or 10 years on an 03 Legacy so does that mean that the pipe is as well. The wife's POS has developed a bee hive around 3k that makes the SVX pipes seem silent. Can't wait to rid myself of this lemon but that's still a few years off.
  13. Bleeding for the brakes wouldn't change things from good to bad overnight. You still have a decent pedal feel right the pads just aren't seated? If I remember right the XT6 has Loyale style brakes so you need to turn the caliper piston in and have it line up with the nub on the pad. Its possible you didn't get it lined up right and the pads are only hitting on the outer edge. This needs to be corrected quickly as you'll ruin your pads and rotors. Front rotors are replacable with 99 Cav rotors so you can replace those for under $40 easy. The pads themselves should be readily available. Also, make sure that everything is greased nicely in there as you might be having a hang pad. Replace your tranny fluid and if you want to the bushings for the shifter are available, though not exactly cheap for the XTs. Don't overtighten them or it'll be just as bad!
  14. Turn the key to on, go in the trunk and connect the green plug by the computer or maybe its the black plugs, one is stored codes, other is active.
