Whereabouts in the park can you ski? I was there for the eclipse a few years back and I didn't see much in the way of snow!

I have started to lube O-rings and other small rubber seals with Dow Corning Molykote 111, per the recommendation of a trusted friend who owns a reputable repair shop in Portland. This prevents tearing upon installation, as Petros mentioned, as well as protects the rubber seal from oxidation.

All three parts (gasket, O-rings, bypass tube) are still available from Toyota, I just picked up the set a month or so back.

Expect that your new driver will be in an accident due to inattention or lack of skill. I, for one, would really like to avoid being in a Tercel when it crashes...

Professor: Those switches are from the same 2002 Pathfinder that I took the seats from. Maybe they share a common manufacturer with Subaru? Nissan used to be a majority share holder in Subaru, so they actually shared more parts than one might expect from the 70's through the 90's. I think the conne...

Does either car have cruise control or an adjustable intermittent wiper switch? Inclinometers?

Subaru seat heater switches!

I'd like to get a spare, used 4WD transmission mount to modify the new 2WD mount I bought.

Let me know what you've got and what you're looking to get for it.

Thanks!

...there's a yard about an hour from me with a dark blue 86 that has a good hatch.

Name of the yard? Will you be going back any time soon?

I have heard there is a difference between the plugs, IIRC the later models gained an additional pin. Hatchbacks use a different wiper switch.

Cool Stanza! How does it compare to the AL25? (I'd suggest looking for an '89 Subaru GL. The Loyales are newer, but were stripped-out budget models that were heavily de-contented. Good news is that parts are basically 100% swappable, so if you find a nice rust-free Loyale, you can swap all the high-...

You will never write a manual long enough to cover all the things people can do to a product! Who reads the manual anyway?? lol

Hit the nail on the head there, nobody reads their manuals.

You seem to be completely misunderstanding my post (and you appear to be selectively addressing my post), as well as implying things I did not say. stop leak is not "goo" it is water soluble particles (typically some sort of cellulose) that fills up tiny cracks where coolant flows through. You are ...

I'd like to preface this by saying that I DON'T work for Subaru. But, being a Subaru guy also, you should be aware of their OE "coolant conditioner"? I'm well aware of the head gasket issues of the EJ25D/251/253 engines. The root issue is the use of a graphite coated paper head gasket used on early ...

I've seen some of your older commercials, sure was a trip to see you advertising on TV! I see you often in Grassroots Motorsports as well.
