Yeah, most of these write ups will be converted and added to the USRM shortly. Im thinking of re-doing the USRM to make it easier to navigate but might just save time and add these to the current USRM. I have to convert all the HTML from the MS Word HTML to real HTML before they can be added. -Brian

That looks great! I will work on adding submissions to the USRM. -Brian

SWEEEEEET!!! IM a member! I'll edit my member profile and add more pix if you dont mind. There's alot more mods than you have listed Page is looking great too. You did a good job cleaning stuff up. -Brian

Here is another EA81 console that was available. It lets you fit a standard CD stereo in the dash at an angle. Here it is mounted in my old Wagon with my old stereo and setup: I also have a similar setup in my brat now. Works pretty good. -Brian

There are plenty of threads about this in the forum news. We've been having bandwidth problems with ultimatesubaru.org. The gallery is not effected because it is hosted on USMB.net, which seems to be way below the bandwith limit. -Brian

if you can rotate the crank by hand, try to get Cyl#1 at TDC... then look at the disty, and make sure the rotor is pointing at Cyl #1. That will let you know if the disty is correct. have you verified to make sure your getting a strong spark at the plugs? -Brian

and dont forget long underwear -Brian

nope, should be the same. -Brian

an 84 GL with a 1600? Doesnt sound likely. Was this a Hatch or a Wagon? -Brian

Mick, should we start working on new designs? I have a few in mind i'd like to see on some shirts. -Brian

Erik, let me know if you need help. I have almost every tool needed to do almost anything to a sube. What type of work do you need to do? Jeremy, i got cards made up, just gotta distribute them. There's a real sweet EA81 wagon about 1/2 mile from me that will get the 1st one. -Brian

With the idle higher, your timing marks will jump around. Once your idle gets lower, you will notice the timing marks stabilize. Is it cold outside? Time the car at operational temps. Also pull the vacuum advance and plug it before you time it. -Brian

Glad you guys had fun, sure wish I could have made it. Maybe next year i'll be living in that area and wont have to take time off work just to drive up there -Brian

I dont think ive ever seen an Aviation EA81 with the prop in the front, i've always seen gear reduction box's on the rear of the crank, then attatched to the prop. Anyone notice the Sube in the background too? -Brian

Yup, i could use a new sweater too... mind is developing a hole in the elbow & my mother wants one as well. -Brian

Come skiing then, Dave will need someone to ski with. Unless you wanna try your hand at some Snowboarding -Brian

If a weber is properly tuned it should beat any Hitachi. But a good Hitachi will beat a poorly tuned weber. The Hitachi on my wagon is bullet proof. I can let the car sit for 3 weeks, with a 1/2 dead batter, and before the 4th stroke, the EA81 is idling. But the hitachi in my Brat is a different story. -Brian

Look under your car, near the gas tank. Either on the drivers or passenger side. Not sure what side its on in a EA82, but you cant miss it. It'll be next to the fuel filters. -Brian

hope you gave him the URL for the board. -Brian

yeah, i followed him from Eugene to Sacramento, and lil roo did a great job. Im amazed at how many trips ive taken my lifted EA81 wagon on. 1 round trip from Sacramento to Seattle and back, then another trip from Sacramento to Eugene and back. Not to mention all the trips I take to the woods. -Brian

Definatly. Keep an eye out for some deals as well. I have a bunch of brochures and coupons I got from the Outdoor show here. A bunch of promotional stuff on tahoe, reno and the resorts in those area's. -Brian

Rooinator is going to be on his way to AZ in the beginning of January, and we're thinking of heading to the hills and doing some boarding. I know there are a couple of you down S.J. that wanna board, so lets see what we can figure out. Prolly early January, exact dates are unknown until Jared finds out when he has leave until. -Brian

Its easiest to just grease the CV shaft, and make sure its lined up propperly. If you dont catch it on the bearing spacer, the shaft should slide through enough to pull through. Sometimes you have to help the shaft through by tapping the steering knuckle and the CV shaft should pop through. Enough to be pulled with the bolt. -Brian

Yeah, a shaking wheel is a common sign of a failing CV. And usually the final signs before they sieze on you. You can tell if its a CV when it feels like the wheel is being jerked from your hands, instead of just a tire wobbling. It will get more severe when it goes, and I wouldnt recommend traveling at 100mph+ when it does. -Brian

Look at it in a mirror. This one too: TIHZTA3 -Brian
