here is the album I am setting up for the WCSS pictures: http://usmb.net/gallery/wcss7 Austin, please create a new album for your pictures, there, make sure all your images and video are in that album. I will be happy to create accounts for people who would like their images hosted here (much better than the USMBs gallery, and unlimited space). Please dont take advantage of it.... and contact me via PM. My images are there... I think Brad and Jay will be adding theirs soon. -Brian

Send me my CD's 1st so I can get the goodies up online! Now if I could only find a way to install Photoshop I can get MY PICTURES ONLINE!!! GRRRRR -Brian

Just got home after a 2 day drive back to Sacramento. I think this years show was as good as last years... i will trade a mud-pit for shaded camp sites and be happy with it That was me who dropped off the struts for you. Your welcome, you owe me one -Brian

Alaska has more Subarus per person than any other state in the US. Considering the human population to Subaru population, I would think It would be the Subaru Capitol of the world. Anyone who has ever lived in Alaska will back me up on that. -Brian

FINALLY!! got new tires mounted to Jibs brat so his swampers aren't humming the whole way. its 12:14pm, 30min behind schedule but we're on our way! See everyone in POrtland Friday. -Brian

I dont agree with the last part of those plans. I say we veto it and change them Will there be a RallyX like last year? -Brian

15" rims No modifications needed Bolts right on: Same for 14": You can find 4x140mm rims from some older Peugeot's. They're available in 14" and 15"... steel & alloy. -Brian

ARGH!! Hurry JB, we gotta hit the road -Brian

Yeah, PK should have added this to his instructions by now. i ran into the same problem, easy fix... beat the snot out of the spot its hanging up on: -Brian

Yeah, its supposed to hit 106 tomorrow and we'll be hitting the road about 12noon, right when its nice and sunny out And the RX has no A/C -Brian

Both your '80 and '83 will have an EA81 in it. They are OHV and have no timing belts or chains. To lift it, look into a PK Davis lift or one from AA. If you want to run larger tires you can get Peugeot rims that have the 4x140mm lug pattern in 14 or 15" size. Your stock subie rims are all 13". You can also drill out your hubs and make them 6x140 with ease and use any common toyota or 6 lug rim. The '87 Sedan you are getting will have a EA82 in it. 1.8liter with OHC and timing belts. If its turbo, check it for compression. Chances are a free '87 Turbo will need much more than a fuel pump. Welcome to the board, there's alot to be learned here. -Brian

Yes... everything will swap over. -Brian

I KNEW YOU COULD MAKE IT!! See you there austin. -Brian

TurboSPFI, I know of another SubaruDave as well in Anchorage. He sold me my Brat, sold my best friend his coupe as well. He wasnt a bad guy, but the one in Eagle River wasnt so nice when I contacted him for something. -Brian

Yup -Brian

Thanks for the offer. Im sure there are a couple people who could use some space for vids and stuff. -Brian

That guy and I have had some choice words. We didnt get along too well, but I know he is a pretty reputable Subaru mechanic. If you want to find the BEST subaru mechanics in AK, head to Specialized Import Auto in Anchorage Pix would be nice... any idea where he got the engine? -Brian

Who else will be there? I think we should all gather for a HUGE caravan. Would like to reach the show before 5pm on Friday if possible. Anyone??? anyone?? -Brian

Not to mention: http://www.usmb.net/gallery/ -Brian

You luck sonofa.... Damnit Eric I cant seem to find a brat anywhere anymore, and here you are... $400 you cant beat that! Will it be lifted for the show??? Better get to work! -Brian

2" would be the best. use the stock Y pipe and have 2" pipe welded to the rear. Straight pipe sounds good, but a nice muffler will help to create some backpressure and bring your low end power back. -Brian

See ya in a week mick. Drive safely -Brian

Probably the same dude who said "rock your mullet" here when he tried to sell his '82 Black Brat for $2k. -Brian

Yeah I wont have any more days off between now and the show either... so I hope the RX is ready for the trip! -Brian

If its speed dependant then that would point to bearings as well. They are kinda tough to tear apart, i hear its easier to swap the rear hub with one from a good car. -Brian
