Remember at one point we were talking about shops in the area we trust for certain things? So I remembered one I liked that is trustworthy for the Subaru guys on here: Outback Auto in Auburn. I had them do work a few times on my Forester when I had it, including warranty work for a part that went bad. I'd definitely recommend them.

I was pretty happy with the SMART service when we had a outback. For general stuff, my go to shop is Taskar Garage in ballard. The owner is awesome and has fixed minor things for me for free in the past, as well as done work in exchange for king crab and/or salmon. Also one of the few shops I have ever dealt with that flat out refused to do work that was not worth it. My friends dad had a explorer that blew its 3rd transmission and they told him they weren't going to waste his money putting another transmission in it. For suspension work or cars I care about more, its group 2 in magnolia all the way. Its worth it just to be able to wander around the shop a bit and look at the awesome cars that are sitting around. slurry_curry fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Apr 24, 2014 |

Anyone game to grab a beer soon? Ballard has been mentioned before but maybe the Beacon Hill and West Seattle goons would like to recommend somewhere in their neck of the woods?

I'm in Redmond these days, but I can get to Beacon/GTown pretty easily. Star Brass Works has a pretty good happy hour deal - burger and 12oz draft beer for $5/$6 or well shot and beer for the same price.

If people want to do north seattle I know a few different places that have patios, since I am a dirty smoker and I keep a list of places I can smoke and drink at. Also, do you think your friend would be interested in my st165 all trac? Shoot me a email if you want info damiancurry at gmail That also goes for anyone local, I think its time to suck it up and just sell it.

BraveUlysses posted:I just asked him and he's got his hands full with just one alltrac. Really it needs a new engine/transmission. Shortly after I got it the valve stem seals went along with the turbo seal, and 2nd/3rd gear syncros were toast when I got it. I started pulling the turbo off to get it rebuilt and then found some of the PO's work to make the car run mega squirt, which was a terrible hack job. That made me decide that it was not worth fixing the current motor, and I was planning on getting a st205 engine/transmission and take out the megasquirt, but I never got that far. It could be put back on the road with some head work, fixing a couple of the really bad hacks(ie crank position sensor being mounted on a L shaped piece of metal, on end attached to a motor mount and the other to the ac pump. It would loose spark randomly at high revs when it would bounce around) and rebuilding the turbo. The car is in really nice shape as far as the body goes, tho it has a lovely paint job on it. Nice suspension with poly bushings everywhere. I just don't really have enough interest to spend the time/money it needs. slurry_curry fucked around with this message at 20:52 on May 20, 2014 |

Beers anywhere I'm down for, but it'd have to be evenings this time since day time last time didn't work even though my boss said it'd be fine. I definitely want to make one of these.

North Seattle is easiest for me, somewhere outside also sounds great. What's a bar everyone can get to and park at in Ballard that has a patio?

Everybody can park at, or a patio, select one  Molly Macguires in Ballard on 65th by the Goodwill has a nice patio, it's a smaller place but decently available street parking and it's usually not a zoo, the aforementioned 4B's on Leary has like 8 pool tables and a large parking lot but no patio.

Bleachers on 81st and greenwood has been my go to for a while. decent sized parking lot with easy street parking around and a patio. 13 INCH DICK posted:Everybody can park at, or a patio, select one Molly Macguires is great. There is also the Ould Triangle on 100th and greenwood that used to be owned by the same people(married couple, each got a bar in the divorce). Easier parking and bigger patio than Molly's.

I'm all the way down in SF if anyone else is in the bay area. Speaking of, does anyone know a good performance shop in the bay area besides LIC in Novato and EQ in Fairfield? Maybe something in SF or the south bay? Is there a better thread to be asking this?

True, but seeing as the movers are showing up on friday, I have a feeling I am going to spend the weekend unpacking/cleaning the old house up. On the up side, my new house is stumbling distance from Bleacher's on greenwood so I will probably be there way to much.

yea, Aloha ramen was a odd place. I only went there once since I could never figure out their hours, but I drove by one day and saw that they were open and immediately stopped. Pretty good, but not amazing. We used to live in greenwood before moving to shoreline for the past year, since it was way more convenient for my girlfriends school. I am super pumped to be moving back, but we are spending way too much money on stuff for the house. But I for sure can't make it on sunday now since the couch we picked out is being delivered sunday, between 9am and 6pm. So I guess I will be unpacking/sitting in the yard drinking.

I'll be at the Old School Reunion with my Honda friends. I know that there will be several 1g civics from canada. My friend is taking his 1g accord and there will also be a few 3g accords. One of which will be our Lemons car that I'll be driving.

Most of the PRO3 racers use accurate engines for that kind of stuff but I don't have any personal recommendations. I've never wanted to suffer with all the fucktard vw owners to go to the Leavenworth cruise soo.... I'll be trying to sell my 1990 325iS at the e30 picnic on the 29th if anyone else is going or interested
