I was actually thinking of sending an email to Ian Anderson. I was at his webpage.... http://www.j-tull.com and it looks like he does alot to keep in touch with his fans. -Brian

About time! I found 2 Coupes at the Yard today and i was going to swipe their grills so I could modify them. But I didnt Just takes too much time and that bondo messes me up! -Brian

In the Lyrics he mentions the car having 4WD. And with Low Ratio, there arent many Options out there for Dual Range 4WD Cars in 1980 -Brian

Went to the store today to get the stuff I was after... and the clerk asked if it was Hitachi or Nipo. I didnt know off hand and instead of wasting her time I told her I'd return. I thought Subaru would have picked one by 1987 and I wouldnt have to worry about it. How can I tell which disty I have? -Brian

The very 1st 4WD that Subaru offered was in the 1972 Station Wagons. 1975 Might be when they were imported to the US, but FHI themselfs say it's so :-p FHI History 1970-1979 The 1st Brat was introduced in 1977 and all brats from production start to production end were 4WD. There are some very rare Gen1 Brats overseas offered as 2WD but mostly for delivery and hauling. -Brian

Its off an old Album titled "A" released in 1980. -Brian

Was playing with this new MP3 service I got and Im going through the Jethro Tull Collection. While sampling one of my favorite songs I start listening to other songs on the album and one I come across is titled "4.W.D. (Low Ratio)". I queued it up and am listening to it now. Kinda hard to make out what Ian Anderson is saying but I found the lyrics online. http://www.davemcnally.com/lyrics/JethroTull/4WD(LOWRATIO).asp I could probably share the MP3 too.... gimme a sec to put it somewhere. -Brian Not many can stand Jethro Tull... but for the few of us who can, here's the song 4wd.mp3

Plumbing would be a *************** and I want small for the faster spoolup. Im thinking a nice fan under there and a hole in the hood should do fine. If i need any cooler maybe i'll spray some water down there. What i really need to focus on is the smog :X -Brian

Heres my mounts. I have it sitting pretty high, plenty of room under the IC for a fan if I want to mount one under the IC. -Brian

HOT!!!! -Brian

A dude by the name of Douglas Vincent has a supercharged Legacy Wagon in washington. I met him at the WCSS and spoke to him a little on the legacy board. he's the one who bought my AWIC and he has it in use on the supercharged EJ22. he's done alot of fabbing and testing to get it almost right. look him up on bbs.legacycentral.org -Brian

JB ive spent alittle time in Portland but I dont know whats there to do. If we get there early enough maybe we can get together with some of the local's and maybe setup a dinner or something. Dave, you have an idea of what time you'd be rolling in thursday night? -Brian

True, it does suck to wake up on the ground... or from in the car, then drive another 5 hours How many people plan on traveling with a CB? I know me and JB will have one. -Brian

Im comfortable sleeping in my car -Brian

I vote for vancouver too. I believe richie and bajaVW are over on that side of the river. I remember that traffic too. -Brian

No t-stat and a new radiator. Hope its not a head gasket. -Brian

Damn Austin. I was just about to move up your way and now you go and clear out of the state. I understand though, gotta get out and on your own Its a great thing, believe me. Anyhow, dont know about any jobs or homes in MN but if your looking for a trailer I'd check with rental yards. Our yard sells off the old equipment, and my manager just got a license to sell trailers. Some arent cheap, but they're guarantee'd to get you to your destination. -Brian

we can all catch up in portland and have a huge caravan. Dave probably remembers the MASSIVE caravan we gathered in Eugene for the WCSS3. -Brian

If the timing is not to stock specs, it will fail. I must keep it at 20 degree's +/- 2. There is no AC compressor. -Brian

There's no fun in that Jeremy -Brian

You wont find anything better than the FSM. But i would have to say Chiltons is better than Haynes. -Brian

JB if you want to wait until Thursday morning or Wednesday Night to take off... you and I could leave sacramento at the same time. Since you do have to come to my house to get the shell. I believe i got thurs-tues off so I could leave as early as 7pm Wednesday night. If you can keep up we should be able to make it to Weed to crash and then thursday morning take off for portland. -Brian

Come to think of it, my AC is on. Even tho the AC doesnt exist I have it on that setting and that could be the reason its higher idle. I'll change that and see if it drops. -Brian

Maybe your right. Brad, Im going to try to meet with you guys on friday for the drive up. Was going to red-eye it the whole way to Portland and just crash there. -Brian

Eric is right. The BYB lift includes a 3" spacer to retain the front skid plate. You dont need to worry about your oilpan -Brian
