Wow, welcome back. That was short. -Brian

No bushings. Any idea if Napa carries them? See you around WJM. -Brian

SWEET!!! I still have those 2 pumps you gave me sitting in a box. Waiting to be mounted to my next rig. Im torn between a couple options. Kinda keeping it on the DL but i should have something wheelin ready by next spring. -Brian

Needs to be replaced Jeremy. It ran great but the front end is fuct. CV's are bad, cant hardly steer either. -Brian

Subarus warp their front rotors very easily. Mostly becuase people set their parking brake while their rotors are still hot. Our cars lock the front brakes with the e-brake, and if you set the e-brake with hot rotors, they will cool and warp with pressure being applied to only one section. Good thing they're cheap tho. I can usually find new rotors on ebay for like $20 a pair. Or Napa for about $30each -Brian

Run some carb cleaner and then use that bottle of "guarantee'd to pass" stuff. I did that and my car passed (after failing the week prior). -Brian

STock boost... but i got home today to a package from UPS. Its my Manual Boost Controller, so I will crank it up to about 9psi tomorrow. Lets hope I dont blow anything up! Went and wheeled the Wagon today. AHHHH Good times! Hope your in a subaru, and hope its a wheelin subie cause I got some plans on the horizon and next year I will definatly be making a trip up there to wheel the Oregon Trails again. -Brian

Drove up to Reno to hang with Jibs and see my wagon. Threw a battery and an alternator in her and went for a little cruise around the mountains. Couldnt really do much since Jibs has no reverse and no low range (no low + 28" swampers = suck!) but we were able to get dirty and it felt great to be in a lifted subaru again. Here's a teaser pic.. you can see the rest here: http://gallery.usmb.net/album41 Next time we hope to have a camcorder. Jibs REALLY needs to get his tranny from John so we can do some real wheelin! -Brian

Just got one today from the junkyard. PM me if you are really interested. Shipping will be alot, but can be acomplished. -Brian

Make sure your spinning it the right way. Things can get confusing when your laying on your back. THe filter shouldnt be that hard to remove. -Brian

It wasnt subaru... it was Suzuki. The engine in the Justy isnt really a FHI design. -Brian

Neither, its to support the head rests that accompany your jump seats. If the seats were removed, you can remove those metal jobbies. -Brian

Dunno what the plan is as of yet. I know we wanna get some wheelin done, and we want to hit the junkyard. I am hoping to be in Reno by 10am, and be on the road home by 6pm. Will probably do the yard in the morning, do the wheelin in the afternoon. -Brian

Forget rear speakers. Just get bigger and louder front speakers and you will never know they're not there. I put 230watt 6x8's in my doors. and 400watt 10" subs in the rear. 450watt amp for the fronts, 600watts for the rear box... and i dont miss my rear speakers at all. That and stop playing Hanson in the coupe!! -Brian

TONY!!!! DUDE!!! Where you been? Glad you havent fallen off the side of the earth. New ride: Under the hood: I still have my lifted wagon as well. It hasnt been wheelin in over a year, but Im supposed to go out tomorrow and do some wheelin in Reno (where its been stored for the past couple months). STay around! or shoot me a PM, or an email... dont be a stranger. -Brian

You would be the 1st in the US to have done it. -Brian

Talked to matt and he will be at work till 6. -Brian

A bad CV will cause vibration in the steering wheel. It might feel like one of the wheels is out of ballance. Check the boots on the CV. Once they fail, the actual joint isnt far behind. -Brian

I'll be up there tomorrow. Have to work on the 3rd, so noway to make it on Wednesday. Me and JB should be wheelin or at the yard or doin something -Brian

Rooinator put a throttle control on his gear shift using some shimano bike parts. I believe just the cable and the shifter from a mountain bike. He uses his rig for off-road use and said it came in handy to feather the clutch, brake and throttle at the same time. Didnt look too hard, im sure you can setup something similar. I would use your left leg for brake and clutch, and just setup a throttle control for your hands. Braking a car might be hard trying to use your arms. -Brian

Those are 195/50R15's. I know cause I sold them to him He had them mounted to those rims for road trip purposes. They did a much better job on the trip to the Subaru show than a set of Swampers would have. -Brian

Get us some pix. Im getting a AWIC from a friend and will like to install it. I wanna see how you connected the turbo to the intlet. -Brian

Looks like a standard rollbar to me. And i dunno who told you you cant have both. I removed a rollbar just like that from the junkyard and it had jumpseats in there. -Brian

I used to work at U-Haul (not proud of it, and was only a very short time) but i have to side with Bill on that argument. U-haul doesnt know the meaning of reservation's. I work for United Rentals, and my yard has 2 tow dollies that we rent out. You might want to check in your area, call one and they should be able to check their system to find out which locations carry a dollie. But you maybe required to have a Full Sized 1/2 Pickup. -Brian

I know how that whole "move it or lose it" works. At least they give you notice. When it happend to me, i just woke up the next day and the cars were gone. If they were in my garage or driveway they were safe. -Brian
