Since no one has figured it out yet. That is the Hatch I tried to sell on the board last year. It was mine. I sold it to Szigi and he sold it to Zap. It is one of the prettiest ones to date. Gee Eric, that one sure is cute!! LOL

And I was the second. I have done rear disc conversions to every Sube I have owned. There are not any issues with brake pressure. I have never had an instance when the rears locked up before the fronts. Squirrley is also something that has also never been experienced. I understand your prof's concerns. However, he probably isn't too familiar with the Subes yet. Keep educating him and he'll get it sooner or later.

I don't recall any differences. Maybe the color of the logo but mechanically they are the same. Date tag is the only sure fire way to match them with your rig.

Near Bonner may have been Brad. He lives in Bonner and has quite the assortment. He has one of my old ones too!

Sounds like fun but I must opt out. Just closed on my house and have a ton of work to do.

Check your cap again. The entire distributor will get wet. Heat causes evaporation and the water rises as steam. You may have to remove the disty and dry it. You may have sucked some water into the carb as well. That will just have to run it's course.

Excellent rendition.

Why hasn't anyone suggested that you take the rear cover off and look for the stamp on the ring gear?? That will tell you exactly what your ratio is and will end the debate with all. Swapping third members will not be cause for redoing the side bearing shims if he keeps the parts from each diff together. Pull the cover and find the answer and then you'll know what to do. Besides that, you'll find out what the reason for failure is.

Craig...you've been hijacked!!

They look like mid to late 90'sToyota wheels, well at least half of one.

Not mine...his. You will not retain the TG without major stuctural redesign. Brat beds are not square.

Contact Brian and Steve at Brian's or Tom at Aaron's. Let them know I sent you and what you need. Either one should be able to get you good parts. Try to not use oversized bearings and rings. It will cause a heat issue at some time. There are enough parts floating around to get good OEM used parts that are within spec. You can call me if you need anything else.

Or, we were two doors down and you don't bother to come out and say hi! :-p We were in a bit of a hurry, just had enough time to drop the car and chat for a couple of minutes. Had an appointment with the folks at Hood River.

Why would you only get half of it?

First, we have a few new sponsors that didn't make the original website publishing. IPD of Portland Oregon. They are a distributor for many performance related parts and accessories. They are relatively new to Subaru but have been in business for over 40yrs as a Volvo performance supplier. Subaru West coast, yes, that is correct, Subaru has contacted us and wants to be a part of this show and in the years to follow. We are excited and very proud to have Subaru involved. Subie Sport magazine has agreed to come down and cover the show for us. They will be on site in the vendor area to show their stuff. They may even offer special show prices for subscriptions. They will be out and about taking pictures and talking with folks. BYB/Ozified lifts, we will have a new generations lift kit up for raffle. The is a new design and will be sent for the correct application for the winner. Either EA81 or EA82 only at this time. We also have a vendor list that continues to grow. IPD Glove Buddy Subie Sport magazine RalliTek SPEC Mudrat design and fabrication/MTS Design & Fabrication TWB Fabrications Hood River fairgrounds will be offering food through out the event. Meals will be available for purchase including Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Lunch on Saturday and of course, the spaghetti feed on Saturday night. We will be have the trophy ceremony and raffle give aways at that time. SOA has also offered the services of the Outback Angler. He is an award winning chili cook. He will be serving on Sunday during the rallyX. It is going to be a fun time.

Yes, one maybe two cars and 4 people. Will there be any planned stops along the way? Can you email me and we can discuss the plan more. Ken I added a poll for this. It will make it easier to tabulate.

We made it. It started out as a Gen1 short bar and we extended it up and back.

Thanks Jared, yes, those are blocks. I needed a couple more inches of height and it improves the pinion angle when fully extended.

Richie and his Dad run a Subaru repair shop. He is a long standing board member and his Dad has been in and around Subaru for around 20yrs. Here is a link to their website (which is currently under construction) http://www.superiorimportrepair.com/page.htm That amount of money sounds like they are estimating repair of the waterpump and front engine seals and timing belts and possibly an oil pump. Which is well worth it any time you have to do a waterpump. You have to open most of it up to gain access anyway.

Professioally installed bedliners are the best. Spideyz is correct on you get what you pay for. I got a couple estimates from Line-X and Rhino. Both over $300.00 but you get a warranty that goes with it. The problem with installation is that on the Brats and even El camino's and Ranchero's is that they can't just slider a curtain between the bed and cab. There is alot more prep time involved. Have fun with the new addition.

Check the ASV system. When they start to go bad or go bad for that matter they melt. The plastic innards of the bell(black plastic) melt and get sucked into the carb. This will cause the plate in the bottom of the carb to appear to be stuck open. I have had this happen twice on the Hitachi carb. You may have to remove the carb to get the garbage out. Good luck.

It already does!

I believe he is in the military right now. He has popped on periodically. To get ahold of him try his folks, Chef Tim and Vickaroo.

I would concur with Coupe. That or the rear window is leaking. Both happen alot in Subes.

Sorry for taking so long. I got home Saturday and went to bed after yet another 36 hour day. Sunday was spent on my Bro-in-laws boat. The run was excellent. First, let me say that Eric, Tex, Rob, and Brian did indeed do everything the Brat did. However, I just seemed to have a much easier time of things. It ran flawlessly, well except for the cooling fan deciding to act up. Glad I threw that gallon of coolant/water in the tool box. And a slight brake issue that I'll go over later. I have discovered why Jeeps, 'yota's and others go so slow. THEY CAN! Locked up in the rear and open in the front seemed to be a good combination. We went on a couple of the most difficult trails at Evans Creek. And, frankly, they bordered on boring. A couple of things need to be improved on but the for most part it worked great. Now, I just have to relearn how to drive it again. I killed it a few times because I was trying to go too slow. Anyway, here's the link to my album. Keep in mind that I was driving and didn't want to stop to take pics. And we didn't take any pics of upper 311. It was an experience that I just chose not to share. But Eric can vouch for it. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=572
