you realize you just posted your address for the whole world to see right? I don't know but I think mine has been posted in an old thing called the phone book for about, oh 42 years now! That is kind of like all the blurred out license plate numbers, never made any sense to me, not too hard to put ...

As are the bulbs that were originally posted!

I got it together. Stayed up Sunday night after I dropped the kids off at their mothers till 5:00 AM then realized DMV was not open on Monday due to MLK. I even spent the whole weekend talking all about him to my kids, and it never crossed my mind. It would not start then I looked into the back and ...

Never seems to amaze me how they keep trying to "improve" spark plugs. $80 on plugs? No thanks. Unless your running 18 psi or something. Sounds like too much electronics inside the spark plug to me.

Yea it was the exhaust valves. Getting it all put together now. I had some cash flow issues over the holidays! (big surprise there!)

Works great emptying it out when you flush it, just don't let the wife catch you! Does not make the turkey taste any better though.

check out candle power forums. There is a guy on the forums in Singapore that sells direct. I got some leds and some key chain lights from him. I long ago lost his contact info.

I need a retracting cover for the rear storage area on my 97 Outback Wagon. Gray interior. feel free to contact me at miatapaul at gmail dot com. Would prefer local Hudson Valley. Will be stopping by some local junk yards in a few weeks but would rather give a member a few shekels.

I think they only way to make this work is to replace the entire brake line. Not a happy thing, as it entails removing the carpet. I have a 91 with a broken line, and it has sat in my garage for over a year now with me trying to decide if I want to part it out or junk it. To top it off it has decide...

If you are looking for power i would look for a WRX or a 2.2 turbo from a Sports Sedan. the 2.5 has head gasket issues.

OK so I got my car that I was told needs a new head gasket. It is misfiring bad. I can disconnect the fuel injector and it makes no difference in the idle. I ran a compression test and here are the results: CLY 1 185PSI CLY 2 60PSI CLY 3 185PSI CLY 4 165PSI So my question is is 60 psi normal for a b...

are these glass or are they plastic? I might be willing to pay some money for the E codes as that is what I run in all my non subies. If they are glass then they could run much brighter bulbs. As I understand it heat is the biggest factor preventing higher wattage bulbs.

Ok while looking at a 96 OBW that had body damage I found a much better 1997 with a bad head gasket. I have a 1991 Legacy AWD 5 speed. I know the motor will be basically a plug and play swap, but what about the auto to 5 speed swap? How hard would it be? I am thinking I may try some Rally Cross with...

Now you say non-OEM do you mean a big coffee can looking ricer or is it like a walker or auto parts non-OEM replacement system? If it is the latter then you could need a new cat or downpipe. If it sounds like a misfire then it could be misfiring and could need a full tuneup and or exhaust manifold.

Yea the Bosch ones from AutoZone/advance/checkers/pep boys all should work ok for a 92 w/258,000. I have used them on several cars and never had a problem. I think they don't last as long as the OE, but at $20 that is not an issue!

There is a simple answer, call GC. They are extremely helpful. I know some one who did a custom ford 5.0 drop into a Miata. He fabed every thing out himself and Ground Control calculated the correct spring rates for him. They did not charge extra for the service either. They took into account the ty...

thanks for the quick reply! so you think 800 as is 1500 fixed sounds good? I think I will offer 600 as is and have them drop it off at my garage.

Ok I am looking at a 1996 OBW that has had a small collision in the front right corner. The fender has some minor crumpling. The big issue is that the lower control arm is bent. I have a 1990 parts legacy in the garage and was wondering if the control arm is the same. I know the springs and struts a...

Ok here is the deal. I have a dead 1991 awd LX that is rusted beyond what I am willing to drive(and that says a lot as I will drive anything). Brake lines are rusted out in several spots, and it will not start. I can get a 1996 Outback wagon for a really good price. It needs some work as it had a tr...

to many PBR=really bad headache. Good stuff though in moderation. both brake pads and beer.

One other thing, what is the size of the brake line? will i need to know this when I get the replacement line. They sure look thiner than the lines on my MG that I had to replace one of the front lines, but that was a flaired fitting, and it was all open. How I miss the simplisity of that design, to...

The design of the Subaru master clynder does not really isolate the 2 circuits very well, IMHO. There does not seem to be much of a dividing wall to seperate the two halves. once one side leaks down it just draws out most of the fluid from the system. There is not really enough fluid left to operate...

I pulled my 1991 Subaru AWD 5Spd Legacy out of it's summer slumber (winter replacement for the Miata) and found it to have a leaking brake line. I have not found the exact leak location, but the fluid flows over the gas tank on the passenger side. How hard is this to fix, It looks like i Will have t...

Only thing I can say is that it sucks. I have one piece of advice, go to work and do your best the last few days. I got a referral from my last job (4 days notice IBM sucks as well) because I worked hard on my last days. That was the second time I got laid off from IBM the first time I got laid off ...

Well, I guess it had to happen eventually, but my trans. just blew so now I some choices to make. Either attempt to put a FWD 5MT in it, or part it out. The motor runs really good, but who knows how much time it has left, so I would be reluctant to put it in another car, plus I can't afford another...
