I'm going to try and make it to this if possible.

I'd also like to offer my workshop in Nashua for future events. We have a 9000lbs. asymmetrical Rotary lift, lots of space, and within the next couple weeks should be getting a CNC plasma cutter that will do 3/4" steel or better. Hell, if any of you live nearby and want to drop by some night or weekend to use the facility, I'm there all the time.


No kidding. I'm in Milford, and I work in Merrimack. Where in Nashua is your shop?

I have a running DOHC 2.5 from a 98 Subaru RS. It's currently in the car and will be sold on Craig's list, but I thought I would be offer it up here first.

Edit: I don't need the ECU or Harness, so you can take that too if you want to buy the engine.

Hello NE AI Goons. I have pissed off enough people at work and they are sending me from the UK to the Boston office and having sold the Skyline today I am now looking at something for when I move in about a months time and get an MA driving license since my UK one will be worth exactly zero.

I hear you guys get snow, like lots of snow, do I need something with 4wd to not get stranded in the middle of no where and die of exposure? Really just an excuse to start looking at Impreza WRX and Lancer Evos for my new daily driver. Can't cost more than an GTR to run right?

You are probably going to get shot (American Gun laws) before you see snow. I wouldn't worry about it.

Whoops, I've been neglecting this thread while catching up on stuff the last couple weeks after vacation.

If you haven't settled on a place yet, I can still offer up the hackerspace if you guys are interested.

Just got the lift re-certified for this year, and we've dialed in the plasma CNC pretty well now:

Guys should I buy Kimbo's 944?

http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/cto/3298893762.html

My Jetta isn't AI enough but I'm not sure if I should get a car that's older than I am.

No AC, cracked dash, Bad primer, horribly underpowerd, no cats.


:swoon:

I'd buy it in a second.

Really? I'm not sure I'd call the 944 horribly underpowered. It's packing 10 less hp than the the 325i, for example. But for the time it was pretty quick. Hell, the '84 corvette barely broke 200 and weighs almost 500 lbs more.

If you think this thing is horribly underpowered, you should drive an '84 318 or something.

Yea I was a bit harsh. I'd still buy it.

Any of you subarusexuals have any used MLS EJ head gaskets sitting around? Unbent is all I request, don't care if they've been torqued, used, run, whatever.

Or any garbage-grade EJ25 head gaskets you bought and then realized you should buy the good ones. As long as they haven't been run in, those are fine too.

I need two.

Thanks, my tuner and a few others have also recommended them. I like how they list the rates for all EJ services on their site.

While you are having the heads done, it's a good time to add aftermarket valve springs. The stock ones are pretty wimpy.

Cool, thanks for the info. Anything you suggest? Will the better springs just prevent float at higher RPM?

Larry's put Manley springs on mine. Yea it's for the float.

Alright, I booked a 10:00 AM slot for the practice day. I figure I'll show up early to observe the 9:00 slot and hopefully not embarrass myself being new to this. Any advice on etiquette or what to expect (that wasn't covered on the website) would be welcome.

I'll be bringing my stock Forester XT on snow tires, my open face autocross helmet, warm clothes, and lunch. I'm not sure what else to do besides just show up, just go with the flow, and hopefully have fun.

Extra socks and boots. A gallon of water.
