I purchased an old sube with hay remnants in the back, wheel wells had opened (20 years daily driven-- and still driving at 23), but covered by interior plastics.Taking the car apart, the lightweight powder dusty smell was familiar to a horse farm I worked at. I opened a rear panel, full of water, got kicked in the chest by a disease, and felt the thorns enter my lungs...natural anthrax. My nature is belly bound more than lungs, I simply got sick in the gut for a few days. Back to work underneath, first steel inspections, there is a tube for the rear end, something wasnit right, I banged it after cleaning, still wet...years old bowels came off like an acid..this time eye bound. It was enough to rot steel. 80 pounds of new steel later, 140 hours mig welding, and it survived a hit and run recently with a little dent that should have been a total loss to a normal car..glass dust was the finale, right out the heater vents, again eyes and lungs and belly, and the smell of a dead mouse...cleaned the heater system, found a little petrified body wrapped up in the heater fan blower... That is all it took to get the old car going safely. kill bowels acids, anthrax, pneumonia of the h1n1 variant, biochemical warfare of 20 years of diving,and wallah, a masterpiece.
my own kids...it would be a generalization, categories. Maybe a wandering hard thumped non turbo diesel, or other car that stuck out. Old boxer sound, new boxer double fire ricer snappers...all kinds of things to explain. I wish somebody would explain...
awesome. It explains the myth of oil blow by vapors..as being just a part of getting ripped to molecular shreds by rpm only. Modern oil can fix that. That would be an awesome test bed testing oil brands.
I like that. The car can be anybodies. I despise when steroetypes narrow down a humanity to a specific brand. Like, I was told, all front wheel drive is for homosexuals. I have avoided them ever since.
he is kidding uwe all.
nice find. the back end is clever..earthquake areas must love them 2002s. Like an old sube to maine...
to think cars could be that strong without a roll cage.
how in freakin hell is an se-r an "actual race car". Fake and Gay. a "big" inline four wrapped in a tin can ..how in hell does that get 3 laps in?
in 2010 alec baldwins line fails to mine: "So you drove a hundai, you drove a bmw, mr.bmw, and they're both gone. I am driving an 88 subaru gl through a fucking snowpocalypse...because it will never die." And then me and alec baldwin get in a fight, and I kick his ass.
I accept the emmy awards, grammy awards, world war 3 awards it's all good.
it is...something heterosexual men gave back to pansies. Oh good, got it right.
The one time in court over a similar matter not resolved, and not allowed, is one of americas biggest flaws in law. This is more than a lawsuit by shelby. Even the concept of mafia would be non existent, if the same cases tried were allowed to be ongoing. Hung jury? no excuses...another long drawn out case even more precise this time , a second time, a third time...justice has to win.
Certain subarus. With the japanese cloud over them, it is easy to hang on and grab cheap. I recently spotted a legacy wagon with the last solid deck engine, the biggest heads, ECU experted with turbo, STI suspension, and hidden FMIC. How in freakin hell is that not worth more than all of them? Well, there is only one worth more, and it is a 1987 dual range...learn some facts of any model you like, there is something to keep in the pile they fucked from oem.
jeesh, he coulda got 3 main liquid 90hp subaru and done better..with a real statement. I am into the most for least, after the 7 main 6, it is nothing shy of satanic...and I do LOVE that sound anyway. I would take this car as a proud nerdy ecomodder and go with it...with the little sube engine...and a heater core, and defrost...and maybe even convert a 9 to 1 to deisel...oh my god, all in a porsche looking 250mph capable. c/n: liquid 90hp 3 main subaru
9to1 carbed converted to diesel heater core and real heat
comments? anybody?
it is probably a good thing he killed himself.....
I have been truckdriving since the skies really looked like that in the 70s.
The pakistani/chinese villages off the kkh are looking better all the time.
The forum must be a stressful place for mods. I could not wait to pack up my sube and never look back at that place...I understand there is demographics and playing nazi master, they got it wrong with the wrong neighborhood, and it is more than thieves about that place. Stay local. Best advice ever.
@1991Brougham: don't forget portland.
I wonder what american engineering would have done to make it bigger, or any country that has blasted, planned. A death for every mile isn't quite necessary. I am watching a clip with busses trucks, even tankers. crazy..tiny road.
My favorite failure..I had just bought a 74 chevelle, four door. by oe, it sat like 3 inches off the ground, 137 feet long. It came with fourteen inch wheels...reminded me of subaru AWD with its rollerskates, or the old volvos, with wheels so deep in the wheels you have to crouch down to see what they were.. Anyway, I was in the midst of an 160 mile round trip, little sister was sleeping. I felt a hint of a rumble, and thought sure the car dropped in the back end by a few inches. that thought no sooner left, and a wheel and tire came down like a meteor right next to my drivers window, and hit the pavement like a rocket and launched into the woods of the I-95 median. I was at 65-70 mph..slowing down, the right rear brake hub decided to hit the highway again, and make a bit of noise...after all this, I still had to waken my little sister to tell her what happened. It stayed that gentle. I ran across the highway, grabbed the wheel, and replaced all five studs that sheared to 300 foot pounds and went about my business.
those wheels, it is like sad masichism. Pretending large and strong until broken like a pussy. Oh..oh...the erotica.
