Spiffy

home depot will make replacement keys for you until they get it right... it's just a pain to have to keep going back... which is why I just go to the smaller stores now... Atlasta is pretty good, but they're not a subaru place... but they can make a key for you from the tumbler for under $20...

where are you located? fill out your profile info... a lot of people have spares, so there's a good chance you can get a free one from somebody here... you can have mine... although it's from an '82... not sure if they're different...

I think I may have found it... I was looking in the wrong spot all along... I was concentrating on the front window and door seals and the couple of small gashes in the pan... posted this in 2006 and didn't find it... in 2007 I had a baby and didn't have time... in 2008 I was in wisconsin and it was frozen so it was impossible to find it then... now it's 2009 and I'm back in the pacific northwet... ... last month I caught my car in a half-fogged state while on a break at work... it was the rear that was fogging up first! so without me in it breathing heavy and fogging up the front with my breath and damp clothes it was actually the rear fogging up first... so I started poking around back there and found wet carpet... and a wet metal panel to the right of the rear door latch... and wet behind the rear door panel... so I started checking out the rear door window seals... the bottom corner chrome pieces had popped up a little and debris was accumulating under there... and I noticed that the rear window seal was actually 4 pieces... 1 piece around the top and sides... 1 for the bottom... and 1 for each bottom corner... 27 years of exposure seemed to cause shrinkage of the rubber, and with small debris creeping in that made the gaps between the rubber pieces increased... so I put duct tape over the seeming gaps and that seemed to help for a week or so... it was pretty dry again today so I put a bunch of clear silicon in the gaps, and under the rubber inside and out near where the pieces join... I also put some along the side and bottom of the outside of the window seal... so hopefully this was my moisture issue... the rear cargo carpet/mat is draped over some milk crates in the garage... it has already dripped a small river in just one day... the passenger side rear carpet is also wet, so either need to get a space heater in there or remove the carpet... I noticed that under the rubber the metal seems a little rusty, so I think I'll have to remove that bit of rust before I replace the window... my defroster overlay on the window is toast, and now I need a new seal, so it's an even better reason to replace the window and seal...

ooo, pretty... the gates are still open into the forest? or did you find a road in with no gate?

I prefer colors that are easier for rescuers to spot in the forest... (:

I've also heard of the rubber glove trick... I'd like to see the 22R cover people are talking about though... yeah we learned that one the hard way... hehe...

cool that looks like a fun machine...

y0 wut up peep? got some pics of your ride?

under this box you type in there should be Additional Options and in there is a Attach Files area... click on Manage Attachments to add pictures... they can't be too large so you'll probably have to size them down... the best way is to upload them to a web site that hosts pictures and then link to there...

pics?

many people put the strut blocks on the wrong sides... remember that they have to bring the strut in a little, not out... not sure about the steering extension... thought you could just lengthen the connector... maybe stick an extra universal joint in there?

yes I'd like to but it will have to wail until tax season... I'd like pay off the fozzy and then see what I have left... luckily there are a lot of people in the portland metro area that like to explore the back roads...

sounds fun, but I work weekdays... also my tags expired and I need a new disty before I pass deq...

welcome to the board... you'll want to post in the New Gen section to get your questions answered... the important thing is that the gear ratio is the same...

awesome news! I like wandering around the mt hood forest and some ohv areas for our subarus would be great...
