Turbone

You also might want to do a visual on the steering rack boots. If they are cracked or split, it will allow debris to contaminate the rack.

4.2 quarts. I believe the search function would have found this info

They are still in the process of getting sponsors, etc. They are attracting a lot of interest, some from larger corporations. Some of the events they were talking about will be specifically for corporations. Team building type weekends, that sort. I think that cost might drop with a group, so if several people sign up for a day class prices might be doable. I dont think they will have any problem with providing Group N cars, I saw the garage and parts room :-p They also may have a different class of car for the people going to the one day class, the hi power cars for weekend class (I'm not 100% sure on this). But regardless, I'm sure you will get your $ worth. I've already told (Ms) Santa what I want for X-Mas.

Theres a lot more to go wrong with it. At the high a mileage, I would look at all the belts and hoses, mainly the hoses. With a turbo all the rubber gets baked under the hood. The cooling lines to the turbo are the most concern. You might get lucky and its had the heads redone, which could mean they are Gen 3 heads (less likely to have cracking issues). This will be stamped right next to the exhaust header underneath. Again, make sure theres some kind of maintenance history. If you are unsure, back away (some will say run, lol)

I believe if you get it wrong on a DOHC, your valve train is toast.

Oh cool.....a thread for whining. I have nothing to add, knock on wood.

All turbo cars should be run on premium. As for the one you are looking at, I would base my decision on mileage and proof of maintenance. If it was well maintained, then I would consider buying it (if thats what you want). If the engine looks like it was neglected or not maintained on a regular basis, stay away.

Grant and some others have adapters and steering wheels.

I think if you complete the Inhibitor switch circuit, it might fix the problem.

I assume its carbed? And the ticking is what we refer to as the "Tick of Death" (TOD). Normally a can of Marvel Mystery Oil (MMO) or Seafoam will take care of it. If not, you will probably need to install a new o-ring in the oil pump, a relatively easy job. The Seafoam can go in the gas tank and in the engine.

Yes, the sequence is necessary. I use a box end wrench for the center nut, I've torqued enough heads to be able to tell the ft lbs by feel. But you can make a socket.

Since when do you correct others spelling? I found some pics of my Brat in the mudpit.

I dont think its ever been up for sale until recently. And yes, Bob Barci passed away 4/07.

GD + EA82T = This is the East Coast I assume? It could be worth up to $2k. It depends on what the buyer wants to spend.

Interior EA81 GL seats. I think we should take them out so I can use a board(2x6) on em

Tragedy today at Indy. A local (Vancouver, WA) racer died on the track. 13yr old Peter Lenz was struck by another rider when he crashed while on a warm up lap and was pronounced dead at the hospital. http://www.komonews.com/sports/101757078.html Youngest ever to die at Indy :-\

Only the Gen 3's and up have a button.

If you have a welder and good fabricating skills, anything is possible. Theres a PDF of the book "How to keep your Subaru alive" floating here somewhere, but I cant find it. Maybe someone who has the link will post it up.

Welcome to the club! Just replaced my RX trans not to long ago for the same reason. If this one goes (or when it does) I'm swapping to a new gen trans.

I was going to check the schedule for today, thanks for posting that.

Gahhhhh, wish I could be there. Coverage on Speed sucks rooster too, I've only seen a couple races this season :-\

Wheres yours? :-p

Pressure washed my Brat.....for the 2nd time since Sun. The mudpit at WCSS12 was a real killer this year

Horse puckey! Yeah, we were talking about that at the pit. We knew what we were in for I have my Brat sitting in the front yard right now, ready for the pressure washer. Just got done rinsing off the RX (that was nice) and taking a break (beer and chips :-p)
