Ratty2Austin

I vote for the evening.... that way my Patti can come along (she has to work during the day) will that work for everyone else too? (btw, why do i not see too many posts here???) c'mon guys, it will be fun!

Andrew- its a little north of Bellevue, off of I-405, the 124th st exit (not sure about the address though... thats just Totem Lake) ... we will try to be there..

my brother had his volvo taken to a frame shop off of 128th (airport road) in everett area a while back.. they straightened the bowed body and frame out well... I dont remember quite where it is, but I can probably find it again if i drove around in that area- (by memory)

even the EA82 turbo is single port exhaust... all EA engines are single port on the exhaust, but yes, they are multiport on the intake (except spfi and carbed) the EJ are all dual port, except the EJ22 from 96? (there was one goofy model, one year only, where they made an EJ22 single port!) it sucked, so they went back to the standard mpfi...

I actually have been meaning to go over there to visit all you eastern wash, and ID guys (and gals) but i keep using up my weekend time! (last weekend i was in eugene, OR.... when will this meet be planned for? just a meet? or a meet and play? (offroad? or street show?) i might be able to if you wait a few weeks...

I was thinking the same thing Corky- I will just have to pay you a visit sometime soon.. and I should probably talk to you some more about the tranny i left over there! I hope it hasnt gotten in the way- anyways... :cool:

well, you know i seem to be able to go to the reiters play area all the time! I will probably be there... as long as nothing is broken before takeoff...

heres the deal though.. the EJ20 and the EJ25, (the DOHC models) are too wide to fit without frame mods, but the EJ22 and the EJ18, will both fit nicely if i remember right... I think they are even narrower than ea82s, which means they will fit into an ea81 body too. then you have to figure out your tranny situation the EJ trannys use 25 spline output shafts (only turbo MT ea82 and XT6 axles will fit... (and the crossmember mounting system is different) the EA trannys will line up on the bottom studs and the center shaft, but the top is different... and remember the ECU and wiring!

actually, Mountlake Terrace, but yeah... you work at smart? I see you quite often then! I am the Carter delivery boy (the blonde guy) lol! talk to ya later

dudes and dude-etts.... and all who care- (and those who dont too) everyone needs to remember that the board is not a place to "flame war" eachother out... just cool down, and tolerate eachother like a real person! (settle your diferences in a nicer way) like, find out why people act the way they do, and learn to cope with peoples issues and not make them more mad by aggrivating things. anyways, go have fun and relax... i will see you all later

yes, I will be uploading the pics into my album... I had fun, the deal with the turbowagon didnt work the way we expected... so I ended up with a different wagon, but it was still nice! the snow was great, it isnt quite as deep as it was here in WA, but it was nice and snowy (falling)... I wish I could have had my wagon or the XT with me, but driving the turbowagon was still fun in the snow, I didnt get stuck once... although driving with out snow tires is a bit slick! getting to meet John (aside from WCSS5) and see the weeble (without its impressive tires) was nice, and I am glad he had a wagon that was what I was looking for... I hope to be able to come down soon again to hang out with more of the oregon offroad group! (well, I do need to come down soon anyways to pick up a car again! )

I made it to Albany OR! I am at Andrews house right now, in the morning we are gonna work things out with the turbowagon/legacy swap deal.... then we will see you guys on the tree run hopefully! sounds like you hada somewhat fun trip , despite the little problems!

I want that lifted liberty!!!!! thats not fair that they have D/R trannys for the EJ motors over there... did that liberty come stock with that bumper???? that is just toooo cool

Ok, I am loading the legacy up tonight, and I will be on my way down tomorrow after work, arriving at Andrew's place sometime in the evening/night... (probably closer to night/morning!) anyways, if anyone plans to tag along, you better be ready to go and waiting at Carter Subaru for me at exactly 4:30pm! (be a little early if you need to be) cause then I will be heading down!

sorry it took so long to post my reply to this, but yeah it was fun! I wish i had some better tires, and a lift, but the wagon worked out surprizingly well for having no meat on the tires! I had to stop a few times to take the wheels off hte front to dislodge rocks from the brake splash guards so they didnt eat my discs up.... it was rather diffucult driving in the snow with almost bald peugot 14" street tires (from pap) and no lift.... but i seemed to get the hang of it quick, I would like go play in the snow again! I also have uploaded some of my pics- http://usmb.net/gallery/treehunt

sounds like we are in for another reiters run! or I had another thought if you want to do some snow exploring, and some tourist trap style showing of the subarus! ----> Leavenworth over in Eastern WA, right on SR2- ans as for the offroad part of that trip, to head up to the old Bluett pass highway (spelling?) (old hwy 97) cause there is a lot of neat roads and scenery over there....

2 of us? i thought there were 3.... :eh: (I have a Patti with me) anyways, i will specify the details on the phone tonight....

I havent helped too many ot of ditches. or things of that sort, but i did tow that full size van down hwy99 with the XT!

I doodle and draw and do random acts of art here and there... people have told me I am good ... but that is all in the eye of the beholder! anyways, are you collecting art to put on your page from different people? or maybe links to art of others? i might be able to find some of mine...

well, the plan would be to head down friday right after work... as soon as I can get off and get on the road! (about 430-5pm-ish) if you would like to join in on the fun (and be a good buddy system due to me being crazy driving a 4EAT that distance without knowing how long it will last me) just let me know before thursday eve.... Andrew- we need to talk more about the tradin and stuff... the specifics... when would be a good time to talk? I have free long dist and free night and weekends...(which only leaves us with weeknights, after 9pm) so if sometime in the evening is good let me know, or just give me a call- try after 9 and before 11pm or so...

this is what was left of the brakes.... you think its been too long since it needed pads? or rotors? or attention at all????? wow is all i can say! http://usmb.net/gallery/albuo36/DSCN1397

oops, for some reason I was thinking portland when i was thinking of where you live... but thats what i meant

I may be there.. if things go right with the trade with Andrew- bringing the legacy down to Portland, and picking up the turbowagon! and possibly crashing with someone in the portland area friday night- then going to the Eugene area to see the shop if thats cool with mudrat? anyways, I will find out more soon!

Troy just picked up a 84 GL wagon, to end his troubles of the 80 + 83 wagon... we got to my house from fall city just fine, then we had to do a quick radiator install, and a tune-n-wash.. then when he went to go home, he got about 10 blocks from my house, and i got a phone call- "Austin, can you come get me?? i need a jack, a spare tire (unless i find mine) and some lug nuts" his front drivers wheel fell off after going around a corner in the neighborhood!!! but we got it fixed, unfortunately, the brakes are more than used up, the rotors are half way eaten up!!! (its way past metal to metal! it ate thru the vents in the center of the rotors!!!!) here is what happend- http://usmb.net/albums/albuo36/DSCN1354.jpg and to make my day "better" this is all at about 1am, and I have work at 8am!

I could, but I wouldnt like to make it a 2 way trip for the legacy.. and I am also going on the Xmas tree run.. unless you think you might want to trade this weekend...? I can take pics if you want and send them in the next day or so (before friday)
