If your buying from a Budget Rental in Las Vegas, stay away from the gold Crystler SeBring... I F'd that car up!! :headbang: But I can tell you the eBrake works great -Brian

I think you got ripped off. Is there anything still useable on that thing?

TTIWWO(more)P Great find Austin.

I had a '86 Brat equipped with AC and he's right. Flip the switch and the car was in slow-mode. However, you dont notice it when your stuck in traffic (which is when you really NEED the A/C) and if your on the freeway or cruising, you always got the T-Top's for A/C -Brian

remove the radiator and backflush it. Also clean all the crap out of between the radiator fins. Chances are it got gummed up with all the off-roading.

Yeah, i got thursday and friday off but i'll be camping I got a big memorial day camping trip this weekend.

If by tomorrow you mean monday, sorry but I gotta work.

Sure i'll go take a look at it, but if the price is right... i might be drivin it home Where's it at?? LOL -Brian

Damn that looks mean!! Gotta get us another pic when its mounted in the trike

yeah there is a small depression on the base of the carb where sediment will build. That matches the coolant port. And im sure coolant leaked out of the port into the manifold, unless you drain the radiator before hand, its almost impossible to keep fluid from draining out into the manifold. Remove the plugs, check all your starter connections and battery connections. It should turn over. -Brian

The coolant passage stops at the intake manifold. It doesnt enter the carb. -Brian

Thanks for that info John. Im thinking of altering the route, or making a loop if there isn't much interest in checking out the coast. Here's a view of the same route, with the elevation map... I also plan on having someone pace us with my Wagon incase we run into trouble and need to shuttle someone back ASAP or someone gets too winded to carry on.

Ok guys... where's what Im thinking. I found some dirt roads that lead from the fairgrounds to highway 30. Only thing I am unsure of is the elevation, wether there are hills or not. I took a couple screenshots of Yahoo Maps and highlighted the route: Once we're on highway 30, it isnt far to the coast and im sure we can find a place to take a break and take in the scenery. Here's a look of the same map with the Satelite image turned on:

$250 is a good price if the engine is still good. As long as it didnt do a nose plant, the 2.2 should be in good condition. replace the oil. remove the spark plugs and crank over the motor to clear the cylinders, fire it up. -Brian

You gonna run a carbbed EJ22 in this one too?

Lookin at some maps of astoria and it looks like there are some dirt roads that lead from the Fairgrounds to the Coast. Only problem is I dont want to miss out on any WCSS activities, and the ride could take a couple hours depending on everybodies pace. But this isn't going to be a race, just an excuse to get out and see a different part of the west coast, so we promise we'll wait up for you Connie

OF course girls are invited. As a matter of fact, I believe Bucky92 just bought a new bike and is thinking of shipping it to WA for the WCSS.

I made this image a while back when I was doing wires for my car. This is for the EA81, but EA82 is the same, just the distributor is in a different location: -Brian

Sure can! Just make sure you swap the entire exhaust. The engine crossmember. If you dont want to blow your motor up, i suggest you swap blocks as well. If the motor is originally a carburated motor, then you will need to swap your intake manifold, your wiring harness & install the ECU. Oh, and its probably a EA82... -Brian

Yup, its gonna be a scorcher... bring plenty of liquids cause there is no A/C on the trails. Jeremy, do you know of any in your area to ride?

I think im going to come up to the Cabela's store on Sunday. Might bring my bike if anyone wants to hit some local trails up there. -Brian

the 360 was the first Subaru imported to the US. Fuji Heavy Industries started building cars in the 1954 and its first car was the P-1. In 1955 they renamed the P-1 to the Subaru. FHI made more scooters than cars until the 360 was developed. After the 360 came the FF1 which is probably even more rare the the 360 is today. http://www.subaru-global.com/history.html -Brian

It looks spotless from a distance but up close there are plenty of dings and dents all over the car And i could have just mounted the rack backwards, but IMO that would look really gay. I would get post ride pix, but usually i bike w/out my camera. Maybe this weekend I'll snap some off

Definatly

Tell them its a family reunion Jibs. Thats the excuse I used when I started my job a few years ago... and it worked great Hope you can make it, wouldnt be the same without you. -Brian
