I have seen this before. If you get a couple of other member to duplicate you scenerio. Car on jacks front tires off and no E-brake. You will find that they will spin when the car is running. What are the other symptoms that make you believe the trans is going out?

That would have been my reply as well. You are in Wyoming aren't you? Does it ever warm up after Thanksgiving there?

The '82 disty will work if you use the coil and igniter from the '82. The '82 uses an external igniter instead of the internal like the '83 and newer. And I have an '84 GL10 coupe sitting in my driveway.

Cool, how's Mike doing? Keep an eye open for Hatch Patrol meetings and get-togethers. It will let you meet most of the Sube nuts in the Puget Sound. Welcome to the USMB!!

It was sold to the individual who backed into it. I believe it went back to auction and ended up back in Bonney Lake.

That is a nice wagon on either coast. I like the graphics as well. I have never seen that one before. NOTE; Not all Turbotraction badges were gold. Actually, I believe "ALL" the coupes were silver(chrome) I've seen wagons with gold and chrome. I had a perfect gold one that I had put onto my '84 Turbo wagon. I sold it to Turbones wife.

Cool, if Jon sees this can you send me a copy of the list of parts. I may have other needs that I don't realize.

Those wheels can be found on the '85/86 505 Turbo. I had a set that I pulled off of one as they were testing the engine at the junk yard.

That would belong to Brian(84 Soob).

Good deal/ Glad all went well for the most part. Can't wait to see the pics.

Yes, that is indeed Ed's Brat. Todd's Haz-mat Hatch is in the background.

Cool, thanks!

$13,000+ Yep, that's what he has into it to date. It is a nice set up but... He was a little dissapointed that he didn't win in stock class again. I finally talked to him this year. He isn't a bad guy at all. He is a gear head and has no problem spending a buck to get what he wants. Word out is that he is building an EJ Brat now. I think he is trying to get more HP than I had at the show. <shrug> His Brat should nicely done when it finally has it's coming out party.

I agree with the rotor thing. I have found that using a 1/2" ratchet to turn the crank helps get the screw more accessible. I have also marked the distributor and pulled it out to change the rotor. It was actually easier than fighting the screw blindly. But as for the headlight adjustment it is really quite easy with the right screw driver. I have a14" or so long phillips screwdriver I use for adjusting headlights. I adjusted the ones in the kids '88 3dr last night. They were so far out of adjustment that they were crossed. Just slide the srcew driver under the metal trim above the bumper. It can be a little tight but it will go without damaging anything.

Did you get my email with address and such? How much of rick's and my list did you compile?

Go for the first one and if you don't get it go for the second. Hopefully you'll get all the paperwork and warranty info.

That's the one!!

Can't answer your question but definitely sounds odd. Did you try another source?

Sears does or did sell front struts with the stock adjustment. I believe Gabriel manufactured them. You can also spend a few more bucks on KYB shocks/struts. I have used the KYB's on the rear and like them.

The front and rear diffs are different. The front diff uses 12 bolts to hold the ring gear on while the rear uses 10 bolts. There is a company that offers a front LSD. Basically they modify your open diff. I can't remember the name of the company right now. McBrat had a list of ratios. It may be on the Ultimate Subaru website.

I use two batteries to make sure that I can start the car no matter what happens. My winch runs off the second battery with hard wired plugs front and rear. My kit includes gloves(leather preffered), two tow straps, asst couplers, and a standard warn snatchblock(serious overkill), cable guiding tool, something to throw over the cable. This is for two reasons. One, so that the cable can be seen so someone doesn't trip or hang themselves. And to aid in slowing the cable if it should break. Mike, the connectors can be had reasonable cheap through National parts chains. I used the larger ones because they handle more load. With the long wire run to the back of the Brat I didn't want the connection to solder itself.

That's funny Caleb. I asked Ed that exact same question. I saw the sign on the way up and wondered what it was and then asked him when he sent me the pic.

Noah, 6K and 8K are way overkill. Mine is a 4500 Superwinch. It hauled a very heavy Pepe up some knarly terrain without complaint. I use a snatch block and am very happy with the results. The weight is much less than those winches you listed. You can find them on the net(Ebay) for much less. I think I paid $300 or a little more. Add to that the ATV winch plate that I also bought on EBay. I don't remember the price but it was probably under $40.00. Just my opinion but you know that weight is not the Subaru's friend. Ken

I forgot to mention the duct tape, zip ties, spare bulbs and fuses. I do carry all the spare electrical tid bits in a small coffee can along with electrical tape. I also have a few fusible links in the can as well as a few relays. Funny story about zip ties. I had to replace a rear axle on the trail one day. I couldn't get the outboard cup off so I rebuilt it in the car. I didn't have any boot clamps so I hooked two zip ties together and used them for the clamp. Resourceful, yes, but now the funny part. I am still running the same axle with the zip ties still intact a couple months and 3 or 4 runs later.
