We bought a spare at the junkyard in CO before we left and THANK GOD. No more terrifying pull to the right, hahaha. No I can safely say its mint. We can hear the stereo now which consists of 2 3.5 inch speakers, lol.

HOLY gently caress I can't believe that. We're going down the road theorizing what could be wrong, it shakes like a mofo and is getting worse. We stop. I am assuming the "brand new" CVs the PO put in it were lies because it was all I could think of that would cause that kind of grabbing. Check the CVs, they seem fine. We call up a few parts stores and the soonest we can get one is tomorrow noon. Decide to check other poo poo, like the wobbly harmonic balancer, turn the wheels to the right to get at the access port through the frame rail and HOLY poo poo THERE'S THE PROBLEM. I can run down the highway with my hand off the wheel now. Before it had a mean pull to the right and for the last two days has been slowly getting a worse and worse vibration on that side that we thought was the blown rear shocks until it got so bad it felt like a ticking time bomb of a CV joint. Getting a new tire put on right now at a local yard, then off to pillage the justy in their lot if it is still here.

This is basically an AI-produced version of Roadkill, it's the best! That is, if Finnigan and Freiberger bought a 3-cylinder Japanese econobox.

MrChips posted:This is basically an AI-produced version of Roadkill, it's the best! Every time we get on the highway I fear we will actually become roadkill, literally.  The funniest thing about this car is that in FWD if I am not careful I end up doing a burnout because first gear is ridiculously short. A pegleg peel on P175/70R13s, but still...

kastein posted:The justy was gone anyways Either way, I'm glad you made it through safely. They're usually pretty good about keeping the online inventory accurate so you must've just missed that car. Sucks. I actually swung through the lot right after 5:00 as I got done with work a bit early but I saw no tiny red Scooby. Where'd you get that tire, anyway?

My wife was a service writer for the local Subaru Dealer for many years. (She's the office manager now) I was just telling her about Kastein's adventure. The first thing she says to me wasquote:It must be a standard. The left me a bit puzzled, so I asked her how she know this. quote:"All the automatics died at 60,000 miles"

Tell him that my transmission is reputed to handle double stock horsepower in unmodified form and ask how his WJ and F250 transmissions are doing  We got dinner and beers with Safety Dance and my brother and are hauling rear end in the morning. Indiana crew, looks like we would be going through your state around lunchtime, you guys close to i80/90?

We just left Chicago after staying the night with Kens bro and just got to Indiana. Paging Rhyno, Rhyno please pick up the white courtesy keyboard.

22something mpg on the last tank with the turbofucked tire, 31.3 on this one  And that is even with hammering out a speedy 75mpg pass or two and chicago traffic.

VICTORY The Justy is in my driveway. The muffler broke off at the MA border due to NY using their section of i90 as a loving bombing range or something. Oh well I will weld the break back up tomorrow and add some bracing. Uncorked inline 3s sound great

Mine grows loving fast but isn't dark, so it looks like less. List of poo poo to fix so far: Left headlight housing cracked Low beams inop Turn signal switch self destructed in chicago and had to be patched together with a wad of duct tape. I bet replacing it fixes the low beams too. Install new rear seatbelts Tuneup Fix exhaust Rear shocks Bleed brakes Figure out why harmonic balancer is wobbly Fix horn (probably the same issue as the lights and signals, it works when the wheel is at some positions, slipring is likely dirty or worn) Dome lights and switches Temp gauge inop New tires New seat, or adjust mounting of stock one Remove random amp wiring dangling from dash Desalt Derust (a few small spots) Undercoat the gently caress out of it Pull and clean all interior parts, carpet, clean floors, bedline, reinstall New windshield Other than that, shits fuckin' mint
