  1. Dave, dont blow that thing up before I get a ride:brow: I may just have to make a special trip over to your place to check it out
  2. No beating necessary to make it 4WD, it all fits. But, if you are going from AT to MT AND 2WD to 4WD, you will need the front suspension too. The front struts are adjustable and the strut rod caps are different for MT.
  3. It usually looks like that until you drop it on the ground with some weight on it.
  4. Cool, another local Welcome to the board. Are you New Gen or Old?
  5. Glad you got it figured out. Quote---- You may have to remove the cylinder to get the key out. Its a PITA, sorry. What you could do in the meantime is remove the plastic cowling from around the steering colume and on the right side of the ign you will see the relay. Theres 2 small screws that hold it on, remove these and it will come off. You can then turn the cars ign on and off this way and yes, start it also. I've been driving my 86 wagon like this for a while cause the cylinder crapped out on me. And I've been to lazy to fix it Replace all the plastic and tuck the relay under it but with easy access so you can turn it. Your welcome. I think
  6. Give me a call when you get home today, I might be able to drop by.
  7. This has happened to me before. When removing the axle from the hub did you beat on the end of it? Sometimes this will pop the clip loose inside the CV basket. You will have to remove the axle from the hub, sometimes while trying to get it back out it will reseat itself. Not very often, but its happened to me a few times. I might have just gotten lucky tho. Otherwise you will need to remove the boot in order to get access to the ring clip and seat it back into the groove.
  8. Several years ago I got a price for welding them. $150ea. If there isnt significant differences on either side of the crack and if the crack doesnt go up into the exhaust port (location of water jacket) then the head should be fine. Peening the crack if its real high is a option also, dont think it can hurt.
  9. Theres a couple of people off the board here that have gotten market value for their old Subaru's. Bratsrus is one of them, he got $5k when his Brat was totaled. He had proof of the market value, so I suggest you get a hold of him to find out what he did.
  10. I would love to see who would win the race between a XT6 w/4EAT and the same w/5spd w/diff lock. They would both have to be stock of course, but I give the win to the AT @ 60ft. After that, its up for grabs.
  11. Huh, the only good thing I can say about any 3spd AT is that you dont have to change the clutch/pressureplate/TOB. But with the Subaru 3spd AT, you might be changing the gov about as frequently But its a direct bolt up, but you will need to tranny mounts and some minor wiring for the reverse and neutral safety switch.
  12. Noah is spot on there. But I do get emotionaly attached to my cars sometimes :-p
  13. I'm green with envy :cool: I've got a running rig sitting in my yard growing moss on it :-\ For reasons I wont state, I have to stick close to home.
  14. Pre 1/01. I just made it. And I'm real close to turning over another 1K.
  15. This should be called the "Mid West Washington Meet". North West Washington will put you up in Bellingham.
  16. Ok, where'd you get them and how much? Glad to know they fit in the XT's
  17. It certainly could be the difference. There is quite a diff in weight between the 2. Your freinds 4wd could also be suffering from tuning issues also.
  18. Have the rotors cleaned(turned) and mic'd, they might be salvagable. You can get good quality pads to go around, they usually run up to $40 for a set (front or rear).
