Damn you make it sound like Im going to be killing babies on this trip... ... that wont happen until tuesday when i get home

Ride home plans are to leave sunday mid-afternoon. Drive till I can't see straight and then crash where-ever. Try to make it home by monday afternoon/night. You guys are welcome to tag along, think those EA81's and EA82's can maintain 90mph?

Gotta finalize with Jibs, but so far im thinking: Jibs drives here Wednesday night, crashes at my place. We pack up and hit the road Thursday morning. Crash in Portland Thursday night and hit up the Portland crew for a massive caravan to the show Friday afternoon.

I have ALWAYS wanted to see a set of these on a street sube: I think it would look SICK!

BREAKING NEWS!!! PRoN is gay.

Sounds better than some motors that are still IN the car.

I'll try to plan it so I arive in Portland around that time.

Nice lookin Brat, but I call b.s. on the Graphic. Doesn't look like an authentic turbo unless you put something aftermarket in there.

It still doesnt make it alright. no you cannot use 4WD on pavement. The button does not lock your center diff... YOU HAVE NO CENTER DIFF. The button engages the rear driveline, turning your FWD car into 4WD. There is no transfer case. Your front and rear are locked 50/50.

I preffer it if they swallow Had to!!!!!! Happy belated b-day Rob.

YAY!! THanks for adding another shirt to the lineup!!!!

The only reason Im going to be able to make it this year is because Jibs opted to carpool with me and split the cost of gas We'll be there friday night.

I would recommend the XT6 alt at the least. And a Dual Battery setup for sure! You can probably get away with the stock alt, but definatly look into dual batteries. And the bigger the gauge wiring the better (or smaller gauge, whatever) just some big rump roast wire.

Shawn, where does your route plan on taking you? Would be cool to meet up and continue the journey with you. -Brian

Thanks guys. I have just been window shopping. I was thinking of selling my Turbo Wagon to get a Forester, considering I could get my asking price for the Wagon. BUt then again, it would be nice to have a 2.2T in a Forester

I think im going to start shopping for a late model Forester. As far as I know, they all came with 2.5's. I think the only ones I will be able to afford will be the 1998 models and im wondering if they were prone to the same headgasket failure that Subaru 2.5's are famous for. -Brian

They are only the same after 1983. Pre 1982, 2WD had smaller clutch disks than 4WD. After 1983, everything is the same.

Shocking, the Rancho PnP usually has at least 1 or 2 EA81's. There are a couple other Junkyards here in town that aren't PnP's. Where in Sacramento are you located? -Brian

Isnt it just a standard 12point 14mm socket?

Well i think thats your problem. Make sure you have the light attached to plug #1 or else you wont see anything either. -Brian

Did you ever get a timing light and check the timing?

WOW!!! if insurance companies are paying $3800 for a totalled brat... maybe I should buy this $1600 one and drive it into a drunk driver. That's a $2200 profit! Im glad you got the settlment you were looking for. This only means the price of every brat in existance is certain to jump another $1000

Yeah i was going to say... your car looks (in the pictures in the other thread) to have 13" Cal Master rims, which only came in 4lug. -Brian
