the sucker king

hi yall. i wanted to drop a line to let you know that i am sorry to those i have not yet responded to (emails and PMs) regarding last minute shirts. i will let you know soon, and for the most part i think everyone can get hooked up (steve- i'll get a baby shirt) anyone who didn't pay mick yet should do so or your shirts will be offered up to the public. mick- got your request. no problem real busy, dad's in town and we're gettin drunk and watching hoops every night. no time for subaru. tonight i ditch him in the mountains and that will free me up a little, so hang tight you'll here from me soon. bye.

thanks everyone for the kind words. your a great crowd. no whiners in the bunch. for those who paid and were not on the list, i'm sorry i haven't contacted you yet, there's only 3 or 4 of you, but i keep forgetting my list at work. basically, i'll ship those as soon as they are completely filled. sometime next week. if you get ants in your pants, drop me a line and i'll see what i can do.

and friday latest means monday as well. these folks have stuff on the way: 1 lucky texan 75skunkaroo 84SOOB 99obw Akira BlueSoob Brokechump dlrallyx'r zapar ElCaminoKurt erik R. flash general disorder hklaine hocrest hondasucks leaking oil marck mcbrat meeky moose miMoahspinkmartini mr. whirly n8nqu northguy pops mcbrat qman shawnW soobme subarutex tomrhere wagonpowaa chef tim shannon SF subafly subaru junkie subiemech85 hogsubie jwx richie rich if your names not on here and you paid on time, i'll email you with what's up.

i haven't been able to spend much time on the board lately, so here's what's up. i am in the middle of shipping these things out. i must appologize for being a little late. shipping stuff out individually is not the usual protocal for me, and the way the world works is that when you try to go above and beyond, you get busy and sidetracked, etc. but anyway a lot of people have stuff in the mail and everyone else will be out thurs or friday latest. (save for a few people who ordered late and people who haven't paid and i think 2 people who i can't get their items right now. i will email those two soon.) if a mod will sticky this, i'll post tomorrow all the folks who have stuff on the way. and when you get your stuff, if you have any problems, contact me thru email or pm FIRST rather than rag on me for a screw up. problems may arise from time to time, but i take care of things when they do. and by the way you will LOVE these shirts.

dave, get in touch with me if the lsd is bad. i meant what i said, i won't leave you hangin. i can't help you solve it , tho. i don't know enough about them. did you put 3.9 gears in it?

i got cooper weathermasters 185/80/r13 this year. got studs, and my car is friggin UNSTOPABLE through slow slush and ice. best snow tires i ever owned. hands down. they even look kinda big and mean. whitewalls to the inside on black wheels.

well....... you said wagons and brats........ does this have to be a 4wd vehicle, beause i have a line on a couple (2wd) '79 coupes with the original shocks plus a '78 4wd wagon w/ original shocks.i could get #s for you.

i thought it controlled the tilt forward and back of the engine. i did a 4wd conversion and the last thing to put in was the rear diff, but the drive shaft wouldn't go up to the front of the diff where it mounted. too tight. so i adjusted the pitching stopper all the way forward and that was enough to make the difference. when you take a tranny out, the manual tells you to adjust it back so the tranny will slip out easier.

so i am not accused of highjacking, please see this post: http://usmb.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11092 cause i want to know more about finding webers at junkyards.

as far as at the junkyard, what makes and models (and years) of cars are worth looking under the hoods of for a weber that would work on our cars?

ok i honestly could not tell the difference when i switched from 175/70 to 185/70. i also could not tell the difference when i went from 185/70 to 185/80. i bet if you went directly from 185/80 to 175/70 or smaller, you would notice, but i wouldn't bother. it's not like all of the sudden you'd have a race car, and i would trade the clearence for the performance gain. that's my opininion and i'm stickin' to it.

yes for sure, i have used two wheel drive axels on a 4wd car. and i believe craig to be right about strength. if you look up part #s the axels are different for 2 and 4 wheel drive. but it will fit.

i want the bellhousing if it's got the side mounted starter.

email me your adress. i have one of those parts lists that show up on ebay from time to time. i can send it tomorrow. i think it's all early 80s

syphon- i have almost an identical problem and i'm 99.9 % sure it's the carb. i've done the filter, pump, plugs, alt, dist cap, wires how's this sound: after driving a good while and running fine, you park it and go into the store. you come out, it starts fine, you start to drive, and at the first stop light when you go it wants to die, like it's not getting any fuel. sound familiar? it's got to be the carb i say. someone was selling a used weber for $50 in the marketplace this week! i got one from edrach a couple weeks ago for $75. the rebuild kit cost me $25, the adapter plate will be another $35. AND the weber is easier to work with than the hitachi (if that's what you got) however on a side note just to be sure check your charging system?! i had a voltage regulator go bad once and since the fuel pump runs off of the alternator, it was causing me funky problems that felt like fuel starvation.

i have an lsd for sale. if you want it, email or pm me.

i am from the front range in colorado and i make it to utah once or twice a year. i have a love/hate relationship with lake powell.

so what's a wedge?

i think that's a great idea. i've been wasting that space for years. most people don't have that space under water long enough for that to be a concern, and basic tools etc won't care anyway. i wouldn't put my sleeping bag under there, but using that space would just give me that much more room for tackle, etc on excertions. space is an issue for sure w/ a hatchback. thank you dante, you've given me ideas.

bozeman, huh? i got an ice fishin' mission that might be takin me that way this winter.

for gaskets all i think i need is head and valve cover, i have everything else. but other parts, definately main bearings, and i'm sure i'll come up w/ more. if you could check that out, i would much apreciate it.

where is this resistor pack on a 1980 ea81?

i did a search and came up with a thread on an ea82 w/ no low beams. there are two relays on those cars. from the best i can tell from my manuals,there are relays on '83+ ea81s but i can't find them on an '80. are there relays for the headlights on an '80 hatch? if so, where are they? for the record, i have tried different headlamps, main headlamp switch, and dimmer switch on the combo switch. nothing worked. help me please i have just about every manual including the fsm, and this topic is not covered well. am i not looking in the right place?

bump. no i have an engine i want to rebuild. and who said i live in denver? denver's for white trash. i'm a redneck, dammit.
