Basic run down, the weakest link of a subaru rearend is the CV shaft cups and the stub axle that goes into the rear diff. Since it appears i'll be hanging onto the subaru longer than i thought i need to look into getting some custom stub shafts made, a small run of 2 to 4 depending on the cost...

no, i'm not doing an engine change... the stock carb was beyond repair... choke was dead, a spring missing on the side, etc, etc... and ran like utter **** with massive hesitation in throttle response. not just cause it's a 1.3L but it would sputter and tell me to screw off... so the solution...

i might have a free moment on sunday or monday to go wheel, i'll be turning wrenches all week to try to get the car all the way up and going. i was wondering if there was a big differance in elevation from elbe to evans. i know evans is fairly high around 4000 ft. and i have a feeling that there...
