Hi Daniel, What I do is used when I have it, Ebay otherwise. I just looked and a company called "Mr. Fuel Pump" has one to fit your car for $50.00 shipped and it appears to come with the new harness too. HTH Others listed are in the $70.00, $80.00 range. Last one I bought new on Ebay was a 90 max psi pump and I paid $64.00 for it. Doug

$50.00 by a reasonable person trying to just put food on the table.

Damn Gary. You live too close to Washington, DC.

Just a unverified observation. I bought one 4WD ECVT that was redone to the tune of something like $1600.00 by Cottman. Supposed to have a new belt in it, etc, etc. It is toast after not too many thousand miles. I'll open it up this winter and look around. BTW, the tires on the car are oversized and don't match. I got it in "West. bu God, Virginia. Snow was flying that day, in the mountains. Doug

Really? Is there an echo in here:).

Welp, I didn't mention the aluminum tranny cooler and the B&M temperature gage. Enough said. All combinded, a comprehensive package for the ECVT. My work is done. Later on I don't watch tv, really. Work on the Subes, and life in general.

A JDM, "suposidly", 40,000 mile powdered clutch has my back. Brushes? I got two good sets. Thanks:) Doug

Wheels for the EA-82. Pain in the rump roast in our neck of the woods. Good wheels, that is. I've spent more time refinishing these things.... A good wheel, 4X140, here, is worth $50.00 to me. That's just wrong, for stock. sigh, oh well. Later

So, Once upon a time I read: "In fact, if it weren't for synthesized lubricants-and their ability to withstand high temperatures-modern jet aircraft engines simply wouldn't exist." So, fast foreward. The Justy ECVT simply "loves" Mobile 1 in the tranny. I'm not suprised:) Long live the ECVT, with proper maintence. Yea, that' s spelled wrong. Later

Yes, that's "about right". Yes, by about two bucks, mabie. I'm all ears for a price and availability less than that. I might need them soon, with an "86 that's never been apart. Not enough parts cars and the bone yards crush them. Later

#1...I've found powdered dishwashing soap effective to wash the insides out. Follow with window cleaner. Of course, you'd have to take them off the car first. Then you may have rust and a reseal to deal with. #2...Buy some on eBay or something.

Hey, Plan your dive, dive your plan, man:) I dived Barbados years ago. If you could do it in the pool, then you could do it in the ocean. So I did. Went down 40' at one point to a sunken ship. Spectacular! Have fun, and I'd be interested in what equipment you're using, just for current info. Doug

Hey Miles, My "Muffler Man" sold me a dozen 10X1.25 studs, nuts and washers. This for Justy exhaust, converter to front pipe, and some spares He did indicate, I think, that Mazda took the X1.50 and I believe he said most other Asian stuff uses the X1.25. YMMV, of course. Later

Hey Davalos, I had that flange and pipe into the converter cut off at a muffler shop on my GL. He welded a new pipe into the converter. I had him weld a new flange onto the other (muffler) end of that pipe as well. Total cost was $40.00 installed with a new doughnut gasket and spring kit. Took him about an hour. Doug

Hey, One '86 EA-82T I took apart had one liner spun around. It had been severely over-heated. Worth .65 per pound now, heads too. Doug

Hey, I once bought a Subaru at a Ford/Toyota dealership. They were asking $1500.00. A week goes by, I stop in and offer $400.00. They sold it to me. What's that car worth to "you"? Doug

I replaced a drive-shaft in a EA-82 car last week, and have another front shaft to replace, but I've got parts cars. I'm also getting a collection of drive-shafts with worn out u-joints. I haven't had to R&R any u-joints, yet. Someone please set this straight. Someone who has actually done the job. My understanding is: Once the staked joint is out, the replacement is done with 4 circular clips, and you don't re-stake the joint. True or False? If true, then it's really no big deal to get that joint "centered". If someone has never done u-joints I can understand the "problem", btw. All that's required is a careful competent gear head. What am I missing here? Doug

Hey, Just a thought. I have a local "Muffler Man" store that does some work for me. What I do is take them to him on Thusday's if I need that type of work. Day before payday and such, it's a relativly slow day usually. I hardly ever have to even wait for them to work on it. HTH. Doug

Daymummmm. Sorry to hear that. I'm speachless at this point. Now what you gonna do? Doug

Hi #89, I have read of one experience with changing u-joints on a Justy. The report said a little dremel work was all that was needed. I've personally not had to change any of mine yet. I have changed many u-joints tho. If I ever have to change them in a Justy, I'd probably torch the old ones out. Then knock the cups out, being careful not to distort or otherwise damage the shaft. Clean up with a dremel on the burrs and flat file any clearance on the inside diameter if needed. I don't have one out of the car to measure, but Rockford gives you all the dimensions needed. I don't believe it's a round hole, square peg type situation. Just a matter of having the right u-joint and the skill to fit them properly. At least that's what it looks like to me. Good luck with it, and you're welcome. Doug

Yes, I believe it would indeed look "ok". A full set without damage would not look out of place at all. As long as you can get them cheap. You can always repair, replace the RX seats when you find replacements. Those junkyard seats are an easy swap too. You can't always get what you want when you want it, but if you NEED new seats now for your comfort, go for it.

That's a good description, thanks. If you didn't remove the drain plugs from the heads, one in each head, it still had plenty of water in it to freeze. If you pull the rocker covers you will probably find one core plug has popped out of each head, at least. They will most likely be in the oil pan by now. HTH and please post back with what you find out.

Check out the April 2007 issue of Hot Rod Magazine. It's called a Manxter now with Subaru power. "Once you drive a Subaru, it's the end of any thoughts of a Volkswagen". Bruce Meyers Doug Edit: http://www.meyersmanx.com/

The peeps running tons of boost surely have some "exploded views" of this engine. NM, just couldn't resist, sorry.
