(good to have you back on board)

Haha, pedal-powered? Nah, ours is newer than that. I've got a kick start.

Great idea with the snow mobile engine...i might just take apart that no rust sedan i have and sell you the body let me know when your ready :D I'll be driving to Colorado in April to pick up my caged BMW, and I could pick it up! California isn't much of a detour when the main trip is already 7000 ...

Hi Gang, Since I've been off the forum for so long I figured I'd bring my intro post back up. I made it back to Alaska with my 360 a couple of years ago, and then got sidetracked with family and work. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g63/Kentobeanz/Subaru%20360/7D4FA5C3-0E84-4120-A829-C947A91E5ECA....

Welcome from Alaska!
I also have a 69 360 that will be getting nearly completely parted this winter out once I get it up here from South Dakota.

Hi Wayne, The Great Alaskan Bush Company is still going strong, and has branched out to Phoenix too! Mr. Whitekeys closed the Fly By Night Club a few years ago, but he's still around and does commentary on the nightly news once in a while. The Alcan is paved now, except the parts that are under cons...

My hunt is on. I'll post up in the Wanted section too, but I'm officially on the lookout for a 360 sedan. My brother is planning his trip to Phoenix for October, so finding one in Arizona would be perfect.

Budget would be up to $2k, and flexible depending on what all is sellable on the car. I emailed the guy who had the shell in Spokane a few months ago for $450, and although a rust-free shell is all I really wanted, it was pretty hammered. Every body panel needed attention, and there was a red car in...

Thanks. It was actually pretty warm that day at around 25*F. At one of our January races the temps were hovering around -27 to -25F. Not a fun day to flag corners. As long as the engine is over the drive wheels, I'm not sure it matters that much whether it's FWD or RWD. Ultimately I would like AWD, ...

With that much power going to the back wheels they will spin even on dry pavement, forget on snow :shock: Ed Not with tires like these: http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g63/Kentobeanz/34863ac7.jpg :twisted: Our Super Stud class is nearly unlimited, and the top tires have around 1000 screws in each...

Most of the 800cc class is over 150hp now, and the 600s are even in the 130-140 range. I never felt comfortable on Polaris sleds, so I never really thought about them. The All-Fuji angle is an interesting one. Truthfully, I was thinking Yamaha Apex four stroke. The Mountain Apex is a big pig at arou...

Thanks. Reverse is actually pretty easy. SkiDoo has been using an electronic reverse since about 2004 that still uses the CVT clutches. You hit a button, and the motor starts spinning backwards. No extra gearing, and it only adds a few ounces to the overall weight.

Hi gang, New guy chiming in from Alaska. I started autocrossing in 1995 and got the bug for road racing in 2003. I work in road construction, and our short construction window makes for extremely busy summers and leaves very little time to road race or autocross. Last year I sold my Neon, which was ...
