My Loyale's stereo was stolen
Someone broke into my RX and got my CD player and my CD's. Sucked but I wasnt upset. It gave me a reason to upgrade. I hope i dont get hit again, cause this deck is 2000x better than my old. After it happend I realised how upset I really would have been if I had to duct tape a plastic bag over my window. Thats primarily why I dont lock my car at night anylonger. -Brian

Question about hatches

Whats the hardest and fastest your 1973-1979 went?
My 1978 Wagon wouldnt go past 80... even in 4th, downhill with a backwind. That car later blew a rear main seal... and i drove it for another 50miles with no oil. Sold it for $500 Anyhow, i have no idea what th MPG was. -Brian

broke an axle last night...
Yup, sounds like a subaru alright. I decided to try to race a Corvette off the line at a red light. except I was making a right hand turn. I had my tires already cranked and when the light turned I dropped the clutch... Yeah, i also dropped my front CV as well Doesnt take much to blow one up, expecially when the tires are turned all the way. The idling has nothing to do with your CV. -Brian

Lifting Woes
I only ran into a few problems. one of them being the old bolts were rusted in place. While removing a couple, i did strip the threads out. I went to Ace Hardware with one of the bolts from the PK lift, and bought the same length bolt, but just a larger thread size (make sure its not TOO large, it still has to fit through the lift blocks). Then I bought a tap of the same thread, and re-tapped my holes. When I installed the lift, I used locktite and i have not had to mess with it since. That was 2 years ago. Anyone about to install a lift should expect to run into a couple problems, just take your time and try not to break any knuckles (punching the car, or the garage floor). The steering linkage was very difficult. Primarily because the protective coating PK applies, makes the inner diameter of the linkage smaller. I just used a flathead screwdriver and wedged it into the gap on the linkage to widen it... then alot of patience and cursing and it finally went into place. The engine and tranny will be hard as well.. expecially if it isnt lined up correctly. Dont tighten anything until every bolt is in place. Loosen anything that might make it difficult to manuver the engine/tranny. Once you have your blocks in place, carefully thread the bolts into the old spots. This is where your going to strip something... if one bolt is off, dont force it. Just take your time and think things through. And make sure you have a BFH handy -Brian

Lights mounted on the bumper
A few years ago I stumbled into a Pawn Shop in Anchorage and there sitting on the shelf were 2 sets of Subaru issue OEM fog lights. With the switch, relays and wiring all boxed up. I haggled him down to $35 for both sets. Sold one set to a friend for cheap and setup the 2nd pair. They were amber fog lights, and worked great. Were plenty bright for the subie and everything was pretty much plug-n-play. Chef Tim now has that set, and i havent seen another since (except for one remaining on a few junk yard cars... glass already broken). -Brian

Our Offroad Video Trailer
Ive been wondering if the wagon would hobble up the mountain to reno. But it has no tags, and I really cant risk it. If I could find another rig I might be able to get something going. I dont think the RX is up for another off-road meet -Brian

Lights mounted on the bumper
Yeah, he's a real good guy. Hung out with him and Adam on a weekend off-road trip (when I went and picked up my bumper from him). I havent heard from him in a while. I tried to contact him for the WCSS6 last year, but he said he would be too busy to attend. -Brian

Lights mounted on the bumper
I cant believe I havent posted one yet Here's my Wagons lights: And here it is after I installed my new bumper: I only had one pair of the top lights wired, but I chose to install the wiring and switch on a high rise center console: Anyhow... its all gotta come out now. I have to retire my wagon, when I install it on its next subaru... everything will be done propper. -Brian
