All the new and younger members who have heard the stories and seen the pics and video'sare bothered by the transition we have made. We all still own Subaru's. We race them, offroad them and daily drive them. Just because we have chosen a different path in our wheeling is no reason to bash everything else on the trail. Our club, group, whatever you want to call us has always had an open policy to wheel with anyone. We wanted to be sure that we were not elitests. We welcomed all vehicles and people. Even those who had never had a vehicle offroad. It was very trying at times but we stuck to our original thoughts. Some of our members have gone other directions. Some of our members have done good and bad things for the community. El toro may have the best idea. Go and start your own groups and clubs. Start your own legacies and histories. Learn from us if you so choose. The Hatch Patrol will live forever. But it just may not be in the way most of you want it to be. I have hours a footage and piles of pics to remember our role in forging a new history for our community. Just remember to keep an order and treat other groups with respect on the trails and in the community. You may find that you will need their help some day, just as they may need your help as well. Make us proud!

Ken thinks that would be a really bad idea.

The biggest difference I can see is that your state and it's residents got a late start on this whole issue. The NW ORV/OHV community has been governing itself for years. We still have issues as well. It isn't all about Minnesota and then the rest of the U.S. looking to follow suit. The "green" group doesn't understand that we go in and clean up the area's. Groom the trails. Rebuild bridges, build and provide signage and education for all. This issue needs to stop being us against them and start being everyone for the cooperative use of the environment. Most of the wheelers I have ever met are responsible users and clean up as they go. That has always been our club motto as well. The answer may lie in private land ownership. Maybe even clubs joining together and buying the lands and maintaining them. Attend a local rally and speak your mind logically and maturely to your own politicians. It is the only way to keep the lands open and accessible to all.

Nice, finishing is sometimes the hardest thing.

As a resident and ORV owner this is very important. I hope all take the chance to act on this.

Very nice. Good thing that rock was there to break your fall.

It's OK Connie. Unfortunately, after spending time in the '6 you may find that the old EA isn't what it used to be. Fixed what's broke and keep him for a backup. You may find that the next step is into a EJ series vehicle as well. Don't be afraid though. It is even better than the original. Those that will argue have never owned a good Impreza or Legacy. Don't give up on your "Bucky" though. He has been a good companion through rough times. And will be there to back you up again. Ken

I told you so! Very nice. The car seems to be working out quite well for you. Glad you got it.

Nice, weather looked real nice too.

Tubbing is not the answer. Relocate the front end forward. Did it on the Brat. Pretty easy actually. Moved mine forward 2 1/2". No problem with hitting again.

Designed to be used with the turbo jack. The blue one doesn't fit, IIRC.

Funny, I have one of those "bad" EJ22 Legacy's too. 1993 wagon, 4eat with 268K, original engine and transmission. Interference or non-interference makes no difference. They are both good engines. They produce adequate power for there size. Heaven forbid, you should actually follow the manufacturers recommendation for service and actually change the timing belts when they are supposed to be instead of when they just break. I am getting tired of this conversation from someone who doesn't own one. Thinks they are junk and doesn't plan on owning one. Then deal with that fact and quit b1tching about it(BGD). Your ramblings are non-educated and lacking any factual information or knowledge. I am glad you do not like the EJ22. It leaves more of them for those of us that do!!!!!

I thought they all came with air suspension.

Pacific Rally Group would like to invite any rally crosser's that are interested in becoming involved in this group to the monthly meeting. http://www.pacificrallygroup.com/calendar.html Now is a great time to get invloved as the rules committee is finalizing the subs for this years regs as well as trying to find new sites and other business. Trotters is a good restaurant to eat at as well. Thia group meets the 1st Thursday of every month. Please make plans to attend as invovement helps make the program grow.

You'd be surprised. I used my little 4.8K winch to flip over a full sized Chev twice on the same trail. Also righted a couple of 'yota's on another trail. Tie it down to secure it if neccessary.

Dave, there are a lot of autoXer's @ Nasioc. Check it out for details and info. I know they do it at the Everett Boeing parking lot on weekends in the summer. I may also have some info. I'll check and get back to you. Ken

Got the alt in but still need to wire it.

Almost correct, MPFI came in the 85 2wd GL10's and XT's, without the turbo.

Actually, the facts you propose are extremely flawed. I, as well as a handful of others have used SPFI cams on carbed motors creating more HP and torque throughout the powerband. Get the facts before you add information that you think is correct. Factory torque and HP specs will argue that fact as well. Higher rating in both catagories for the SPFI.

Use which ever idlers are newest with the least amount of miles. TGW is correct that the tensioner can be replaced with the EJ22 style one. The 2.5 tensioner will be OK if it isn't leaking at the shaft. As far as using a 50 shot for offroading, not a good idea in my opinion. Extra pressure that the deck doesn't need. The hybrid will give you more than ample torque. The D/R will be a nice addition for hill climbs. I would try to find a F/T unit though.

+1 Bring a trailer to cart the broken carcass back to Scapoose. No offense intended, it's just that I have seen Albie drive before.

I should be ready to break my piece by then. I will be trailering though. Dam trailer queens!!

Crack kills... Have you spoken in a manner that others can understand recently? Or are you just ready for the institute?
