October 15, 200520 yr The best thing I could have ever done was quit AT&T. Im much happier now than then... except for the no free time thing. Im working tomorrow... no way out of it other than calling in sick. Dont want to do that as I will lose more from cutting work, than i'd be saving at PnP. Im hoping I can still make it Monday cause I really want to go wheelin. I also need to get new tires before I can make the trip. Hopefully I can do that Sunday... if not I may not be able to make the trip. -Brian
October 17, 200520 yr Okay... Im going to risk it on these tires. They shouldnt fail me just yet I am still planning on being at the junkyard by 10am. Who's gonna do some wheelin tho? I heard you guys got alittle snow? -Brian
October 17, 200520 yr yeah but its gone now. Too nice of a day today for any to be left. I'll be there at PnP at 10, but might have to go to Carson as well, I was informed of a Brat being there and could maybe use some parts from that as well. I'll check back later, but 10 it is.
October 17, 200520 yr Ok j. Is it just you going to PnP? Jeremy, what do you got planned for tomorrow? Dave? And JB... you should see if that new Brat owner will go wheelin with us. -Brian
October 17, 200520 yr Author I was over at the Carson yard last week, only the one BRAT, a white gen 2. Some good stuff on it, taillights looked good. Not as many EA81's and 82's as we're used to, but I saw some some early Legacys (and a couple of recent model Volvo wagons, very unusual for that yard). I'm tied up tomorrow, probably til about 4..you've got my number.
October 17, 200520 yr Ok, I'm In! I'll meet up with your guys at the Sparks PnP at 10! I hope they have some stuff left after the 1/2 price weekend.
October 18, 200520 yr Darn guys, you missed out. Here's a few pics of the Brat, J has some pics of his wagon.
October 19, 200520 yr haha, ok I had to drive up the same rock! Go stock 86 GL! Only diffrence is Jibs could drive over it! Sorry dial up guys.
October 19, 200520 yr ARGH!!! You gotta rub it in dont you?!? Hopefully next time I try to drive up there... the RX wont fall on its face again. Ive found a couple of new problems since I replaced the turbo. Lets see if I can get them fixed next weekend and then maybe I'll try again for the weekend after that. -Brian

October 19, 200520 yr The air intake for my turbo... the pipe that leads from the MAF to the turbo, is broke. Its sucking in air, unfiltered and unmetered. Makes the RX run like crap and studder and stall. Also, i found a BUNCH of hoses that were baked and brittle. Ready to snap. One actually did and a solenoid of some sort will need to be replaced. I might do some fabrication for the MAF and air intake, but a run to the junkyard is in the near future. -Brian

Oh, by the way, we HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!! :lol: sorry, I HAD to rub it in there! It wasn't actually all that great, I ran the Brat out of gas AGAIN, I though I had more, but guess not.
