WCSS10 Location and Date Set!
If you go to Google Maps (use Sattelite) and locate the Fairgrounds, look directly east. Theres lots of trails from the looks of it.

I would either suspect the coil or the disty. Usually a jumpy tach means the bushing is going bad and the disty shaft is getting sloppy. Zukiru, I dont think your tach is "jumpy". I would say it increases proportionatly when the clutch slips.

Bad coolant leak (And my screwup?)
Better to do it, that way you learn how. Sooner or later you will be doing it. Upgrade, bad turbo, etc. Get some PB Blaster and soak the nuts/bolts. Remove the oil line on top, then the hard water line on the side. Remove all the nuts holding the turbo to DP. Remove the nuts holding turbo to up-pipe. Theres a bracket that holds the turbo to the head, need to disconnect that. Then the whole thing should come out. The return line for the oil should just slide right off, but the water inlet will stay attached. This is where you need to use abusive language :-p It will have a double clamp on it too, so twice the fun!

- Bad coolant leak (And my screwup?)
I'll see what I can find in the manual, but I've always removed the turbo to get to that line :-\- Bad coolant leak (And my screwup?)
It sounds more like the supply or return coolant line for the turbo. The return line is between the turbo and head, and yes its a royal PITA to get to. Best way to check is to fill the system with water and let it run, then use a flashlight to find exactly wheres its coming from.- Now with starting problems!
It could also be a bad connection at the ign connection plug under the dash. Its a pink connector to the right of the steering column and under the dash cover. I've seen these have melted plugs before when the contacts are loose.- Subarina finally meets her twin sister...

Your bringing 5? Did you have to offer them money? I have this problem every year. I was going to bring 3 last year, but one person couldnt make it in time. I have one lined up to drive this year, but if I had more volunteers, I could bring more. Well, I could if the price of gas wasnt so friggin high- caravan from seattle to Wcss #10
