  1. Well...I have to sit this one out. I've got some issues I need to deal with. I'll call you later. Pauleyburger...is it really ever over:lol: Be seen ya soon. Have fun and don't eat too much sushi. Smiles, Melis
  2. And how does Tom feel about this? hmmm... :lol:
  3. I used, MMO and seafoam, oil was Valvoline high milage 10W40 (not syn)...don't get me wrong...these are great products, but I believe it's not always the best solution. Not sure what happened to the engine. Just made a clank noise, lights faded on then faded off, got to the side of the road and then lights came on and smoke poured from the bay. When cleared enough to see somewhat there it was a big hole right there behind my alt. and the rod was laying cock-eyed in it...can't tell you what happened until total tear down, but I had the tick for a long time until she wanted to tick no more. Hocrest drove it the day before and said it was running fine. It was fine up until the big boom. Things I've been reading since my problem is that the oil pump gasket will get "sucked" in partly and that causes the air to get into it and thus the ticking and with time it eventually gets sucked in lots and I think that's what happened to me. We''ll see in time. I'm still learning. Smiles, Melis
  4. My past experience is...can stuff works for so long. I used it, it helped a bit and then one day *BOOM* big hole in my block, rod flew up smacked the coolant bar and vvvvwalla..XT6 waiting for new engine. As soon as I can tear into the blown one I'll post up pics. Proper fixes always best, can stuff is only a band-aid. Oh yeah...my Mickey Mouse seal cost me $15+ chang at the dealer. I miss my baby! Smiles, Melis
  5. Pauly! Last weekend was something else...always good times. As far as it stands I'll be there this weekend. I'll give you a call through the week. Connie I'll be ringing your line soon..be prepared. M&M if you should travel again give me a shout. (I'll bring my crayola map this time:lol: ) Jesse...Jesse...your company as usual was totally missed! Smiles, Melis
  6. Dude! I got the 3Door from Paulyburger...it had no tags...nothing (hell, not even a tranny before Hocrest and I got there...that's another story) It had CT stickers on the windshield and PA plates, but I got it to Pottsville (about 3 hr.drive) with no problems. As long as you don't do something stupid when driving you'll be fine. As long as you have the plate and a battery your good to go. Paulyburger wouldn't steer you wrong.
  7. What a lovely swee pea! Awww..so if Bucky and the coupe could mate what would the kids be like? Hmmmm...okay enough of that. CONGRATS!!!!!!! and...PM Hocrest about the trailer, he's been waiting. Get it home! Smiles, Melis
  8. Dave & Ben have the trailer. I already talked to Connie and Dave soooo...if they can get CHATTERING with each other this will go quicker! Get that puppy home damn it! ***CONNIE~ PM hocrest about the trailer! There, my part is done. Hope to see ya(s) on Saturday...need my Fuji..rump roast getting larger Smiles, Melis
  9. I asked Minooka Subaru for any little thing and it was a big Negative from them (not even a stinkin' sticker...where's the love) They told me to contact SOA if I wanted anything. Sheesh. Smiles, Melis Pst...there are more dealers around here so I'll try again.
  10. Sounds good...I'm always up for meeting people in the area. What date have you decided on (if any yet)?
  11. I love mine! I would give up one of my other cars quicker than I would my 6. The problem with the steering is usually the brushes. They wear down and they are cake to replace. Most people don't have air any more, but I couldn't live without mine. It makes the ride so much better (have to experience it to appreciate it). There are sites dedicated to this unique ride...the one I frequent is XT6.net Smiles, Melis
  12. Still PICs up...just wondering how the registration is going. Smiles, Melis
  13. I've got the complete set for the '91 XT/6 (believe it covers all years) also have part sheets and the Subaru reference guide
  14. Dealer will redo keys by VIN # costs $5 + tax (I get them done all the time), but if you've ever had the ignition changed you've got a problem. If you've got a key at all then they will just cut it for you. Smiles, Melis
  15. No..not your car silly...my car that will look like yours:grin: and not just purple.....CRAZY purple! Nothing like originality. I'm not one to follow the road of others I create my own and watch people try to keep up:drunk: Dave you still back there? HAHA Smiles, Melis
  16. Jesse, you just need to make it:) Unfortunately there won't be any animals for you to ride on:lol: , but don't let that keep you away! It'd be good to see you again...you're a hoot. Smiles, Melis
  17. Tragic and great all at the same time. Wanted to say I'm very glad you escaped with minor damages. As the rest said if there is anything you need let us know and we'll do our best to help you. Your BRAT was sweet...and I have a feeling you'll be back in one in no time God speed on the healing.
  18. Paulyburger, what was the date we were tinkering with? I've got my calendar handy, but I'm drawing a blank in the cranium. Smiles, Melis
  19. She needs to look like yours:grin: Damn that was super sweet! Still visioning your style in camelion purple:slobber: Thanks again!!!!!!!
  20. Awww Paulyburger! You know I'd swerve your way anytime...you are treat to hang with. Your boy is adorable and speaks better than most 25 ond older people I know Getting back home was a pain in the rectum though! Snow came out of nowhere and 2 vehicles were ditched on the side of the road resting against brush and such...poor babies <shoulda bought Soobs!!!!> Made it home with those beautiful Legacy GT wheels and the thoughts of the RX kit:drunk: As always you made my day! I'll be in touch to seal the deal. Connie, your man seems like a sweetheart... Happy for you sweets! See ya soon. Smiles, Melis
  21. Okay Okay...I am sort of directionally challenged, but I'm up for this. Only thing I see here that could pose a problem for me is the lack of place and time. Just throw something out there and like a Bass I'll bite!
  22. Got it. I'll give a call after I get my wheels. Should be around noonish. Connie's in-heavy-like...good job for her!
  23. Hey hey hey! Paulyburger...you ganna be around Sunday? I'll be that way picking up some new wheels for Ruby. Might stop in...if you are around anyways. Connie it'd be nice to see you again too! Smiles, Melis
