Here's an amazing video using the same song. It gets really sick at about 3 minutes into it. http://www.pinkbike.com/video/72351/

I'm not sure what went wrong inside, or what I'm gonna do with it. If I ditch it then you have first dibs.

How bad you can beat on your car depends on a few factors: Safety, legality and the size of your wallet. Balance all three and have fun! I've driven every vehicle I've owned hard enough to learn it's limits. Some limits are learned the hard way. You break stuff and then fix it. I learned...

Well, I've always added racks to all my vehicles because I use them for hauling bikes, snowboards, kayaks etc...it's just whatever you personally think looks good. You can remove the crossbars in about 3 minutes with one hex driver. Try it and see if you like the look. It may cut down on some...

You can have dibs, but you might have to wait a LONG time. I'm loving the Foz and it's going to Meyagi's tomorrow to get fixed and I'll probably keep it for a long while after it's up and running again. I'm curious: What would you do with it?

No worries Nigel, I was actually complementing your driving. I wish I could drive as well as you do. I'll get more comfortable with driving the Fozzie once it's fixed. I was driving my car HARD all day, something was bound to break and at least no one was hurt. I was amazed at how I'd be...

The car is going to Mikey Meyagi's tomorrow. Thanks everyone for all your help!

The Fozzie is gonna be at Mikey Meyagi's tomorrow. Thanks Mike for getting right back to me. Thanks to everyone else for being super helpful. I really feel the support of the club and I appreciate it. Now I have to start showing up at more of these meet and greets.

I have no idea yet what happened to it yet, but everyone on the Dirt Drive said it sounded HORRIBLE as I sputtered past them as it died. I'm going to just try and put in a different used engine and then I can figure out what went wrong with it. I know that driving a 190K motor at 4500-6500 RPM...

If you put up some pics then I'll be asking Santa for it for Christmas...I'm kinda glad I can't see it.

Thanks for the info guys. The $1000 estimate was just labor, I'm planning on buying the motor from a Craigslist guy for $500. I guess I'll be calling M&A and some other people tomorrow. I really want to give the business to a club member or a club vendor. Gotta support locals in this...

So I found an engine online to replace my 2000 Forester's seized engine. It's a phase II SOHC 2.5L from a 2001 Outback that was rolled. It has 71K miles on it and I'm wondering if I should have someone do the head gaskets and timing belt before I have someone put it into the car? I'm pretty...

Here's the update for the Fozzie: I think I found an engine, phase II SOHC 2.5L from an 01 Outback that was rolled. It's got 71K miles on it. Anything I should watch out for? Now I have to find someone to swap it for me b/c I don't have the tools or a work space. I got a local shop's quote...

Did you get your car running again? If so, any tips or tricks you know would be useful. Thanks!

Thanks, at least it was really fun driving with you. I think I overdid it a bit with the RPM and should have shifted more. It was just so fun driving in the powerband and it sounded great. Getting it home was less expensive then I thought. Thanks to Outbackcasco's dad for letting us borrow a...

Yeah, so I killed my motor on the dirt drive yesterday. Not sure what blew up inside, but it seized right up after making an unholy racket. So I need a 2.5 motor to drop into my 2000 Forester. I'm looking for something that I can put right in with as little work as possible. Don't care about...

I've had 3 Surly bikes and they rock! Obviously I like them as my screen name suggests... BUMP for a great MTB and a very good deal (I work in the bike industry, $400 is a steal) I'd buy it if I didn't have 15+ other bikes in the garage.

Anyone got leads on a EJ25 motor? I guess I should post in WTB...

Wow, looking at the pictures now. What an epic drive! Forget driving on paved roads, THIS route is THE one that should represent Mainely Subarus group drive events! I agree that it should be done several times a year when the conditions are ripe. I'm so glad I squeezed out the time to go and...

Hey guys, my Fozzie is home and we made it back ok. Rolled into the driveway to drop off the trailer and Foz at 12:45am. I had a great time and I think my 2.5 was upset that we were done with the dirt portion of the drive because it heard me talk about heading home from Lincoln. So tap-tap...
