can I help?

so finally after a week my account has been made active. I have been looking to buy an RS for the past month, and not much luck so far, also because most of them are FAAAAAAR and dealing long distance is too hard.

but anyway, I am posting this because I am offering my help to any of you out there who are working or going to work on your subaru. I really wanna get my hands dirty and learn but I am very busy with my 2 jobs so it's hard to intern at any mechanic and I don't have that many tools to do things myself. I offer to help you out with whatever you do, I can read about it and be prepared, grab the tools, be the water bottle guy, or beer bottle. I learn fast and I am easy-going. I am usually good with mechanic stuff and I have knowledge of electrical components. I worked on bikes and mopeds and know how to solder. If you need an assistant just pm and we can get in touch. weekends and at times during the week, even in the day, work for me.

 

welcome to MNSubaru!

where are you located and what hours are you typically free to help?

 

thanks!

weekends I am pretty open. During the week M,W,F I am usually pretty open. tuesday and Th has to be after 4pm. but really with graduate school it is really on a weekly basis. I am located in Minneapolis near dinkytown and 35w bridge

 

Welcome to the club!

Sweetbugi and I are working on our vehicles practically every weekend. If you are bored any time just shoot either one of us a PM, it always nice to have an extra set of hands to help.

 

you could help but I'm not doing any projects right now. anticipating swapping suspension for the 2nd time this year soon lol

 

Welcome.

You should come and join us at an AutoX sometime. We already have one feisty Italian in the club. I had never heard anyone complain so much about the "proper" pronunciation of Lancia before.

Stuart.

 

well im just waiting for my walbro 255 fuel pump and gotta grab some modded stock injectors from wrx1...and my gmbcs...so your more than willin to come help/watch

 

welcome to the forum

 

LOL. that's cool! yeah I look forward to go to one soon and ride with someone. I wish they would sell some Lancia Delta HF around here, but the few ones around are in canada and cost a lot. I will do some PMing in the next weeks or so.

 

how about 8 hands

 

how about 10? I would love to check out suspension being put in...and help out..

 

lol sure, i'll let everyone know when I'm going to do it. I'm sure more people have suspension to do - maybe we can do an install day?

 

I still have to order my new stuff. kind of giving the ksports one last chance to suck ass at next weekend's rallyx.

 

I'll be doing springs coming up here, too. Gunna wait till it gets nicer outside, so I can put on my summers at the same time.

An install day with some airtools would be awesome.

 

anyone can pm me if you need help on any of the suspension stuff

 

I am bumping this a little late. I have some free hours today, and I am also swapping my tires, so let me know if you are doing any work I could come to lend a hand. just pm me with your phone number, address, time or whatever.

 

I will be doing Cobb springs install this week, never done suspension before and only have hand tools. I don't know if you want to help or not. I will do front one day and rear the next day. It might take sometime but I have 08 subie and hope nothing is rusted yet.

 

I pmed you

 

so my GF is going to seattle and I'll be free for sunday and maybe even saturday to help someone. I also need to do an oil change soon and I had the brake light and battery light flickering which I need to figure out. maybe I'll try to post in the maintenance section.

 

the light problem could very well be a ground problem

 

I read a few threads on nasioc. one guy had a problem with the alternator. do you have any idea what should I check?

 

you could check the alternator, when mine went out it just had a harder time starting is all tho. Check all the grounds and, and possibly joint areas where the harness could rub and short
