$2.34/ea through Subaru. Must have something to do with the brass and rubber combination. Sorry, best I could do.

Brakes
If the HH is bad it should be leaking from the top.

Brakes
The cable may be disconnected but it still has fluid lines running to and from it. I would be sure to check the wheel cylinders as well. Call me if you have questions on removal. Ken

Buying Pugs straight off the car?
NO! Definitely not for a C-note. Especially not off of a running/driving car.

Mary's peak snow run PICS
My guess would be that you were asking people to MEET you and go somewhere. Snow is always a fun time.

My XT is making a funny sound
Under accelleration would indicate ping or detonation. What grade gas do you run? Try higher grade gas and timing adjustments. You should be able to adjust some of the ping away and better gas should help as well. Stay away from AM/PM fuels for performance and mileage.

Nobody can answer this
Can't answer a question that doesn't have enough info. Give us specifics like model, year, engine and fuel system. Then sit back and watch the masters polish the crystal balls.

Cmoing home for a few days

Nissan 4x4 ratios
I guess you've never seen a Nissan front diff before. Fabbing a solid rear is a bit more work than setting a front diff in the rear. Scott, the ratio's are 4.37 and 4.62 The front diff is a R180. Slightly larger housing. I am not sure if the overall dimensions are the same though. It may bolt up. A LSD center won't fit though as it is smaller than the Nissan center. I don't remember what the transfer ratio's are though. Sorry!

Got Sideways......
Learn to drive it first. Mod it second. If you can't keep your car in control in all circumstances all the mods in the world will do you nothing. Not insulting your driving skills as I haven't seen you drive. But if you haven't been sideways before in your Subaru you will be needing more seat time. And I seriously recommend professionalk driving instruction of some kind. I have taken some and have benefitted from it.

Hard starting issues with Weber?

lost my keys
The dealer probably won't have access to the VIN. I would call and ask them though. Especially for a vehicle this old. A good locksmith can handcut a key for you if you can not access the passenger door lock cylinder.

Power window loose, falling down, doesnt' work
Gary, The XT/6 is a strange beast. I am dealing with a similar situation. What has probably happened is that on the bottom of the main slide is a plastic clip that guides the cable that moves the window up and down. Either the clip has broken or the cable itself has broken. You'll need to remove the door panel to verify which it is. It is a rather detailed series of things you must do to remove the window. Your FSM should help you here. The regulator is available through Subaru. I hear tell that the clips are as well. They break very easily so using a used one may be difficult. If you need any other questions answered PM me as I may or may not see additions to this post. Ken

The annual Hatch Patrol Christmas tree run
Update I went up to Greenwater Thursday morning. The snow is above the parking lot. If we get some more moisture it should move down. I stopped at the ranger station and they will be open on Friday, the 25th. I will be going back to get permits for me, Edrach, my inlaws, and Nephews. That will be the 5 that I can buy. There are ranger stations all over Puget Sound, just check the phone book.

Anybody remember ORSA?
Yeah, what triggered that memory Brian?

The annual Hatch Patrol Christmas tree run
I would call first. I don't know if they will be open the holiday weekend. I will also check when I go up to get ours.

Lets see some carnage pics.(56K)
Thanks buddy, but that's inhumane. My point is simple. To do the kind of damage that singletrack did he was either going too fast or didn't see an obstacle in his path.(or both) I have broken lift bolts, bent control arms and strut rods. Heck, even blew out both front tires at one time. I am not immune to breakage, but carnage, not unless I am being stupid!

tires
26" tires on an '83 wagon will still require a small amount of trimming and maybe even a little pounding. The wheel wells just aren't as big as EA82 vehicles. 6 lug allows for a larger wheel and offset selection. You may need to verify that Ozified is still producing the 4/3 as I believe they had decided to offer the 3/3 for the EA81's.
