Re: Northeast USA 4WD Compact Car Adventure 12/2/12

Since our event there have been a few fellow northeasterners that have taken notice and would like to join us in the future. One of them lives in Middleburgh, NY which is a gold mine for trails and unpaved roads. He knows where they are and is considering putting a run together like I did. Stay ...

The first northeast USA 4WD Compact Car Adventure went great! The two local Suzuki SX4's did not show up, so it was an all old-school turnout of compact 4WD's yesterday. The Historic Subaru forum's Paul S ...

Re: Northeast USA 4WD Compact Car Adventure 12/2/12

All set to commence the first ever northeast 4WD compact car event on Sunday morning.
The meet details have been sent to all who have signed up. Glad I didn't wash my car, it's supposed to be 50 degrees and the ground might be a little moist. Might have to get a running start for that one really ...

Re: Northeast USA 4WD Compact Car Adventure 12/2/12

I know I mentioned it before, but...
I'd never heard of a 4WD Sentra before your posting. Maybe they were not distributed nationally? Maybe the dealers in STL (and other cities) just did not order them? Any background on this? Any idea on how many were sold in North America? How about non-North ...

Re: Northeast USA 4WD Compact Car Adventure 12/2/12

Hey - I found some sightings of the Sentra 4WD, scattered in amongst various sedans!
See http://www.oldparkedcars.com/search?q=sentra
I found these while looking for our tercs.
And blownb310 - there is a link in one of the comments on one of the 4WDs to some info on a Nissan Forum you might check ...

Re: Northeast USA 4WD Compact Car Adventure 12/2/12

Thanks dlb, that's good advice. I've registered over there and am waiting for approval. I appreciate your support and interest for events like this. They are pretty simple to put together and I hope my event will inspire others to organize outings as well.

I was thinking today about how you Tercel ...

Re: Northeast USA 4WD Compact Car Adventure 12/2/12

blownb310, the $5 thing on the all trac forum is new. i'm glad i got on before they started doing that, but i also understand why they want such a thing. after all, server costs need to be paid and no one likes spam bots, like the ones we frequently get on this forum.

anyway, i can post your ...

Re: Northeast USA 4WD Compact Car Adventure 12/2/12

I found a forum for Toyota All-Trac wagons and tried to register but found out that you have to donate $5 to prove you're "real". Really? Who's great idea was that?

The Honda Civic wagon forums are not much better. I registerd there, waited for three weeks until my account was activated and then ...

Re: Northeast USA 4WD Compact Car Adventure 12/2/12

I was out all afternoon finalizing [and prepping] the course for this Sunday's outing. This time I brought a sledge hammer and a pry bar to remove the rocks that threaten oil pans and suspension bits. This is the one that nicked my rear control arm a few weeks ago.

Re: Northeast USA 4WD Compact Car Adventure 12/2/12

that look fun , I would not mind joining , except you know what I mean . Your Nissan 4wd , is the motor side ways or look like Tercel4Wd ( straight ) . For having a club for any Compact car with 4WD is not a bad idea because there are very few 4WD car left these day except Tercel's and Subaru's ...
