jonas Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Rebuilt the weber on the Brat. Still having power issues, can't seem to get above 60 or so. I'll get it figured out eventually. Fried plug wire. All is good in the world again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Checked to make sure that the trailer hitch was still solidly mounted to the back of the Wagon. Happy to report that it is still solid as ever. However, I'm not real happy with the very large bump and bruise on my right shin bone. Damn that hurt.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaudean Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) 1994 Subaru loyale wagon with a 5sp DR swap. Replaced spark plugs and wires with NGK's. Replaced all my vacuum lines and air filter. Pulled and cleaned PCV and hoses. Fixed my heater(gigantic rats nest in the ductwork). I also replaced my CV's on the front. Pulled driveline and cut the staked in you joints out, replaced them with some sweet greasable ones. Fixed slow passenger window. Still trying to figure out why my dash light for the heater/AC controls pops on and off randomly. Oh yeah got some sweet red letter 4WD mudflaps.

l75eya Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Reset the Weber to baseline settings, tuned it using the lean out method. Running smooth. Installed a clear fuel filter right before the carb. Replaced a few old cracked vac caps. New battery terminals, finally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom0 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Got seals for my gearbox in. Input, front shafts, D/R lever, rear output. Just waiting on the speedo one, should be in tomorrow hopefully. Then I can put my gearbox together . Looking at adding neutral switch to it also. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky26 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Replaced plugs and wires. Replacing trans mounts, have 3 bolts in the 4th is being the HUGEST PITA!!! I'll get it in tomorrow or later today...I HOPE... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Snagged hold of a 36" + piece of 2" stainless tubing out of the scrap bin at work today. Thinking it's just about the right length for replacing the muffler with it. It's even all polished up and shiny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get it in tomorrow or later today...I HOPE... I got the last bolt in!!!! Then I replaced the fuel pump and filter too. Had to put the car up like this to get it done, at least the trans mounts are in and secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 @ dinky26 Just some words of caution here. That is not a good way to support a vehicle with cement blocks. You have them on their side, where they are the weakest. Always have the web of the blocks vertical, they are strongest that way. I always placed one of the solid 4" blocks on top of eack of them when I used them. Have jackstands now, so no longer use the blocks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I echo that sentiment. Get some ramps. That's scary stuff there. How come you needed it that high just to change the pump anyway? Figure you can do it without really lifting the car at all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 checked under the bonnet - it is all still there !! Been a long while ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure you can do it without really lifting the car at all! I could have yes, I needed the extra room to get the last dang bolt in the transmission mount, the left rear one was the hugest PITA, finally got it though, then I figured while I had it up I'd get the fuel pump back to OEM while there. I echo that sentiment. Get some ramps. That's scary stuff there. How come you needed it that high just to change the pump anyway? Figure you can do it without really lifting the car at all! Thanks for the advise, and I did know that fact just had a FART and blew it right off. As you can see I do have jack stands, they just didn't get it put it quite high enough.

scubaroo84 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Wired up my piaa back up lights and figured out why my cargo light wouldn't work (blown fuse) which was the last thing I checked. also decided that since I rarely have anyone in the back seat and have to have my front seat all the way back because I'm so tall it only leaves about 4 inches behind me for leg room so I took the rear seat out. I have a cargo platform I've been thinking of building that will cover my on board air compressor and be a sleeping platform for camping. Don't worry dink26 with my Lift my wagon outgrew 2 of my jacks and both of my jack stands. I had to go to my big behemoth jack since I don't have a hi lift jack. I also put the stock tires/wheels under the back tires since I only have one set of ramps when I did my tranny swap To give enough room.

84 Bruiser Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 84 GL Wagon 4x4 Took front seats out and moved tracks forward 1 3/4". I'm over 6' and wow big upgrade. Took about an hour. Also removed the rear seat bottom from hinges, now I can fold the back down onto the hinge supports with seat all the way back and recline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colemanapp Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 84 GL Wagon 4x4 Took front seats out and moved tracks forward 1 3/4". I'm over 6' and wow big upgrade. Took about an hour. Also removed the rear seat bottom from hinges, now I can fold the back down onto the hinge supports with seat all the way back and recline. Had 84 Bruiser stop by the house and move my loyale seats back about 1.5 inches. Its so much better now. I really like the mod he did to his seats on his 84, especially the rear lower seat removal. He just removed the 4 allens holding the lower seat to the hinged brackets. The brackets are still there to support the rear of seat when lowered. Looks like Subaru planned for the lower back seat to be removed so you could level out the rear cargo area and still use the back of the rear seat.

1982gl4 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Started changing a heater core in a 92 legacy today, I have the dash out, tomorrow I'll pull the core housing and then I'll be waiting for parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Ugh, heater core is the one job I really never hope I have to do in my outback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1982gl4 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I had no plans to ever do one. This is a car I sold two years ago to a friend, and it is still in good shape so It was kind of stupid to give up on it. So far it really hasn't been that bad to do. It only took me about 1.5 hours to get the dash out. Pretty simple, just time consuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l75eya Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Towed it. Girlfriend's Loyale driver's side timing belt snapped. Prematurely. No front covers for those wondering. Got about 40k out of it, 20k less than is the interval to change them. Chained it up to my GL and towed it a mile to my father's house (drive way). Narrow driveway, can't pull it in because then my car'd be stuck, had to push it. Step incline at the sidewalk and lots of week old snow made this very difficult. Had to use 4lo and had both front and rear tires spinning but finally got it shoved far in to the back of the driveway That's when the shifter popped out of place in my GL! took the console apart and fixed that. Timing belt kit on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Wow that sounds miserable... My outback has been fairly boring since putting headgaskets and a tie rod in it. It reliably goes and stops without making any weird or unusual noises. I'm worried... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
