In case anyone wondered where I have been...
Sorry for your loss. I lost mine two years ago. Glad to hear you are still among the living though. Had us all wondering.

I'll check, but, I have never seen a white one.

What color interior? I may have a loyale style cover but I do not know the color right now.

i am astonished
Actually it does. '85 was the only year of EA82(non-XT) that was mounted weird.

Let's Talk XT6 Clutches
That's Sort of right, 10 minutes to align the clutch and install it into the car! Ideally, you have to be smarter than the tools you're using. Even the generic universal alignment tools work well if used correctly.

They all do!

Let's Talk XT6 Clutches
No offense but... I have heard this before and it is an incredible waste of time. Unneccessary work and time that could be used for other things. The correct alignment tool and 10 minutes is all that is neccessary to install the engine or trans. You can ask anyone who has seen me install an engine how easy it is to do it the right way. I think you have seen me do one as well Rick.

Let's Talk XT6 Clutches
Beat me to it. BTW, the XT6 flywheel isn't aluminum, it is cast just like all the other ones. The steps are the same on both flywheels.(EA81 is different) The difference is in the the plate and the discs are the same I believe. Also, who in the heck said the Impreza clutch would work?

Delta Cam Questions
First off, what do you want from the cam? Why are you going for cams? I have a good idea why but just want to make sure. As far as vacuum, I don't remember. Talk to Scott, tell him I sent you. May or may not get you better deal or service. Plus let's them know I keep sending them business since they have sponsored me in the past.

WEBER help
The carb will fit without issue. The clearance problems come from the filter. Most people have to use the thinner 1" filter rather than the 2" filter that comes with the kit.

Interior Destruction - Not for the Subie Squeamish (PICS)
We too own a Lab. He is a one yr old Lab/setter mix. Beautiful dog which has the typical look I'm an idiot appearance that als most all labs and setters have. Don't be fooled, he is as my Husky/Shepard. Most of the time dogs chew out of boredom. This happens when they are chained and not allowed to interact with their humans. What the hell do they have to do then? He started life as a chewer. I think it was because he was seperated too early from Mom. But never the less, he did chew. He loved shoes most of all. I didn't stand for it and it took longer to convince the daughther and wife that it isn't normal puppy behavior than it did the dog. We now provide him with other forms of amusement. Contact with people is the key to a good dog. But the dog also needs to understand that they are not the alpha in any and all situations. I have seem "bad" dogs become well behaved guardians in little or no time with attention and training. Some friends have a Pit that was used as a target and fight trainer all his life. He has the scars to prove it. Yet, he is the nicest dog you'd ever meet. This is due to the fact that his owners/friends have shown him love and trained him as to what is allowed and what is not. He is still a bit skiddish around people he doesn't know or recognize. My point is that the dogs want to be good. They want their owners to pat their heads and love them as much as they love their owners/friends. There are a few bad dogs but mostly there aree bad owners who either neglect or abuse their pets from ignorance or bad upbringing themselves. To say "shoot the dog" shows ignorance as well. Even if stated in a comic tone is wrong. All puppies should have some sort of obedience training and all owners should be required to attend it as well. And a car over a dog? Definitely not a Subaru. Maybe a classis or antique but not a car that you can buy for under $1000 most of the time. A life is more important than a material obsession.

Can I force my defroster to work?

twitchy tach
Bad diodes will not cause a jumpy tach. They will cause the idiot lights to glow though. The bushing or the electronic module in the disty is going bad. My guess would be the module as it changes with temp. Easy to replace either the module itself or the disty.

AARRGH! PAP's prices are getting stupid
Quite right Gary, beat me to it actually. I have had them done before through the driveline shop I use. It isn't cheap.

Brake pedal pulsates?
? I hope you're just playing on words. A rotor can be machined until it reachs the minimum spec for thickness. The solution for a warped rotor is machining/turning on a brake lathe.

Some photos from the Reiters run on the 18th (LOTS of 'em too)
Always allowed any vehicle to come on our runs. That's part of being with the Hatch Patrol. We don't care what you drive on the trail. We just want you with us on the trail. We've had 'yota's, sami's, Jeeps, Dodges, Fords, Chevy's... they've all been with us. Scott, remind me next time we are together, I have something for you.

Public thanks time.
Yes sir, we definitely have a good group up here. I think we'll have to keep 'em all around.

That would probably be because I was driving at that point. I did ask him if he got the holes in the console fixed before I went in though. Doesn't look that deep though, oh yeah, that's right, Rob has an 8" lift and 30" tires

Stumped the parts guy
Unless the selling dealer neglected to input your data into the computer. I checked for mine and the dealer back east didn't put that info in the 'puter.

6 Grand? Ouch!!!
The point everyone seems to be missing is that it has a non-reserve bid of $51.00. Sure the BIN is high but most are. It looks like an every day POS. Nothing special and high mileage as well. Shouldn't go for much more than a couple of hundred.

2WD fuel tank in 4WD hatch?
A hatch 4wd tank only holds 11.8 or so gallons. A 2wd holds about 13.2 or so as memory serves. These are also Hatchback specific. And wagons did indeed come in 2wd and 4wd.

New Subaru wrecking yard in WA
I happen to know the owners of the two biggest yards there. Is this person an established hulker with an exsisting license? I have a hard time believing the city of Kent will authorize another one to open considering how hard they have been trying to get them out for the last decade or so. Green River's old yard is vacant and the best of my knowledge will remain that way. Astro's old yard is currently occupied and I do not know the owners but I believe one of the brothers from Green river is there. They were never really too interested in the Subaru side of things. So, what do you actually know about this scenerio? Is this speculation or inside info? I will be down there today dropping off some scrap and will have to do some digging around.
