I'm assuming this Forester has moved on? :-) Thought I'd check to see if anyone knew. John

Thanks Brighton-you're quick! :-) I swore I'd never have another black Subaru, but that's pretty sweet. :-) Cheers! John

Late to the party, but wanted to add to Nigel's comments. You do NOT have to remove the axle nut to remove the axles from the tranny. Top strut bolt removed, and loosen the bottom as he notes. Drift the spring roll out of the stub axle on the tranny and then tilt the hub outboard. You could...

Downloaded the file directly using the link. Great vid! :-) Thanks for sharing. :-) Cheers! John

Chad, FYI vid doesn't work for me. Quicktime icon comes up, but no vid. John

Our vids are also on Viddler. A little high quality. http://www.viddler.com/LastDitchRacing/videos/ New video of Mr. Getchell doing his thing on the Concord Pond stage at NEFR 2007. Cheers! John

My exhaust is still rattling, so I need to get back under there as well. :-) It's the price you pay for a 3" exhaust and I don't mind. ;-) Cheers! John

Dave, my HKS will shoot watermelons, not pumpkins. :-) We'll see how long it takes before I'm stopped/followed. I drive like an old lady anyway! ;-) Cheers! John

All the LDR crew are licensed HAMS. Many local ham clubs around the state. Get a study guide and take the test! :-) http://www.hamdepot.com/states/me.asp http://www.dxzone.com/catalog/Ham_Radio/Exams/ Cheers! John, aka KB1IHH

I'm not a big fan of oil analysis, although I know that there are plenty of people that are. Just check out VW TDI owners. They have to be the most intense oil folks I know! :-) I combine my oil changes with the motul engine clean treatment. It cleans the crankcase of deposits. I also throw in...

Ruggedman, so you're going to use cheaper oil and change it more often? 6 of one, half dozen of another. I change my oil twice a year. I suppose if you want to change your engine block/heads and think that's saving money, I guess that's a choice. The other question all of us have to ask is how...

If anyone wants info MOTUL, I can get it to them. I DON"T sell it directly to the public, but distribute it. What do I recommend? 8100 5W30 for the engine Gear 300 for the tranny and rear diff Engine Clean and Fuel system clean(with each oil change) We have run this oil in our street cars...

Thanks! The video production has progressed a bit over the years. Cheers! John

We have nearly all our rally videos on youtube.com, including the most recent video from the 2008 Team O'Neil Rally. http://youtube.com/user/LastDitchRacing We appreciate the views and ratings! :-) Cheers! John

Chad, sweet video! Any chance we could get some of that external vid of us for a compilation piece? PM me. Cheers! John

They say in the description that the 8mm. are for folks with FMIC. They note that there might be clearance issues with the stock IC. I'd go with the 8mm and make them fit though! :-) Cheers! John

Indeed, and I see both 3mm and 8mm spacers on ebay. :-) John

Phenolic spacers are a good idea for high temp applications. They act to de-couple metallic surfaces so that there is less heat transfer across from the block to the intake manifold. Keeps the intake manifold from getting as hot(supposedly). This ties in with the thread about the coolant lines...

We've done it on all our rally cars. The "theory," is as stated-keep the TB as cool as possible to avoid warming the air charge any more than it already is. Does it work? I know that many reputable Subaru rally car builders do this. We obvious run the rally car in the winter and have had no...
