  1. Ok, I'll ask here since I didn't see a clear stance one way or another on the topic of:  Dogs

     

    I thought I saw something in the camping section about dogs not being allowed in the car show area or in any of the out buildings (even while on leash?!).

     

    My wife will be working that weekend out of town, so she can't watch the dog.  I was hoping/planning to bring our pup, like I did at the Old School Reunion earlier this summer (she was the little black lab/whippet looking  that was getting compliments from everyone about her excellent behavior).

     

    So, can we get a final ruling on this from the WCSS committee?  I know the fairgrounds allow dogs (They host dog club events, so, duh), but how restrictive will we have to be with our four-legged friends?  What about service animals?

     

    We love dogs.  If you think your dog will be comfortable in the environment of the event, we don't have a problem with you bringing them.  If you have any doubt about the dog's comfort or safety, please find a sitter.

     

    Please make sure you pickup after your Dog, I do believe our contract with the grounds requires it, and I don't want to be the one doing it.  Please make sure your dog isn't barking/howling all day/night.

     

    Technically we don't allow dogs around the show cars, or in the buildings.  Have we ever had to enforce that?  Once.  Some guy was letting his dog stand up against a car, owner of the car got pissed, I had to deal with it.  This is more in there for our protection.  Be smart and polite, and we won't even notice the dog there.  :ph34r: 

     

    We only allow service cats  :P

  3. So do the fronts fit aswell?

     

    No.

     

    Miata's use an upper / lower control arm suspension with the integrated shock/spring (coilover).

     

    EA82's use a McPherson strut setup, like almost all other Subaru's.  Which means the front suspension has a lower arm, and the strut acts as the shock/spring/ & upper control arm.

  4. Hey Subaru Fans!

    Pre-Registration for this years West Coast Subaru Show is now OPEN!
     
    We are headed back the the Jefferson County Fairgrounds in Port Townsend! Dates will be August 15, 16, and 17th. 

    Registration for this years show is all very similar to years past. We will leave pre-registration open until the end of July, and as always will be accepting registrations at the gate. We are going to accept pre registrations for camping this year. Camping registration will not be accepted without registration for the show. We are going to cap available pre-registered camping spaces at 250.  We don't want to oversell the field.

    Dante's inferno will be serving hot dogs again for lunch during the day Saturday. 

    Merchandise pre-sale will be opening soon as well. We are very excited about this years shirt designs, and are exploring options for some other cool swag. 
     
    We look forward to seeing you there! 
     
  5. Is the EJ22 running fuel injection?

     

    The fuel system (tank, lines, fittings, design) of your wagon cannot directly handle a fuel injected motor.  Those systems were built to see 3-10psi of fuel pressure, while the fuel injection will run upwards of 40psi.

     

    The problems sound like fuel pressure issues to me.  Does the car take a few cranks to start after its been sitting overnight?

     

    I ran my EJ22 on a '86 carb'd wagon for a couple years, and had on again off again drivability issues.  They all came back to fuel.  I ended up losing that motor, probably due to fuel starvation.  While its down, I'm redoing the fuel system to handle fuel injection by adding in a surge tank.

    This basically has your stock low pressure system fill a small secondary tank (mine is 2 liters, located in the engine bay), and then you have the high pressure pump draw from that tank.  This way your stock fuel system doesn't have to support pressure it wasn't designed for.

  6. Just came back from the Cowlits Regional Conference Center, the site of WCSS15. There are two gates, gate 6 off of Washington and Gate 4 off of 7th. Which will be the gate we enter at?

     

    We are not sure yet.  We will make the decision on Thursday when we get on site, and we will put up signage.

     

    The gate off Washington St. is more direct to the camping field, however doesn't leave much room for lining up.  We may opt for the entrance off 7th, that is closest to Washington St. as that would give us some of that parking lot to line up in.  However, that may be a no go depending on event happening in the Conference Center on Friday.

  7. I've been here a long time.  Way back in the day I built this car, and used it to follow the HatchPatrol around the trails of the PNW.  Most of us faded from taking the old rigs to the dirt,  the smart ones invested in more capable Toyotas, the others moved on down the road of life.  I chose to invest that time/money in other projects... But I still have the Beast, and I still continue to drive it nearly everyday.

     

     

    Recently I got the chance (thanks Qman!) to take the Beast through its paces on film for Subiesport.tv.  The experience was well worth the day off, and it did re-ignite my offroading desire!

     

    Check out the video here: http://subiesport.tv/site/2013/02/subiesport-s01-e02-crossover-megatest/

     

    You have to sign up I think, but its free.  Its a well produced 20 minute video, my part starts at the 7min mark or so.
