Hi there!

    My name is Tony i have a 30th anniversary legacy wagon that I have owned since 2015.  Since i have gotten the car i have done a few things to it such as head gaskets, timing belt and components, power steering pump, throw-out bearing shaft repair sleeve, 6 puck sprung clutch, Kart-boy lightened crank pulley, and me and my friend at the machine shop did a pretty aggressive  port job on the heads and intake. I also replaced the oil pan because I hit a monstrous rock out in the middle of the desert and it blew i giant hole in it.  

I’m doing ok , thanks for asking.

Welcome aboard. Which dessert ? 

 

Nice to have machinist / tool maker friends !!

His deally bob states SlUT.    Salt Lake City, Utah.  Betting it was near there.

Hey look who’s back! 

Just cuz you have more posts than me doesn't mean I was ever gone.  lol

 

Yeah but you know all those cool little buttons n stuff and you’ve got a drone ... my posts are stale by comparison. Post counts lol yeehaa

Tony , welcome and let’s see your new skid plate.

  oh well hello! I just logged back in and saw you guys had replied to my post. Actually at the time I was living in Salina, Ut and the desert was the one that is between that city and Richfield,Ut. I was traveling westbound into the afternoon sun and while blinded by the glare on my windshield I managed to hit this monstrous lone rock sticking up right outta the dirt road i was on in the middle of nowhere. i went another twenty or so feet and had a bad feeling so I got out and saw a 6"x20'  pool of oil trailing my car. I had a friend of mine @ that time go my garage and grab my JB weld putty and JB weld steel and my 5 quart jug of oil. i mixed up the putty and jammed that hole up in the oil pan then painted over it with JB weld steel waited about 2 hrs for it to set up then filled her up

   Yes it actually amazing to have an in with a machine shop i think i paid him $80 for all that head work and porting. He just recently moved to Texas though.  When i replaced the oil pan and had the engine on the stand in my garage I actually did the head gaskets and timing set due to the dreaded 2.2l hesitation between idle rpm and about 2500 rpm because i had a tech diagnose it as timing being 1 tooth off. Alas id did not fix that issue. In fact,  4 years later and I'm still chasing that demon out..
