Ohio...go Buckeyes!!!
if you make it to columbus there are a few junkyards there good for soobs. there is woody's salvage on the north west side but the ol lady behind the desk may be cranky with the prices, but there is always a handfull of ea82 era soobs there there is also the u-pull it on groveport road that has all the cars up on jacks to get in and around them, categorized by make lined up neatly in rows. there is always a few ea82 soobs there and a few 1st and 2nd gen legacies or imprezaas there. there is a perfect spot to chuck parts over the fence as well. get with alleyboy in columbus or 86 subaru in anna ohio. they may be down for a yard run. maybe i could make it myself since i go down to ohio to wrench on these guy's soobs.

intake bolt woes....*edit: weber swap complete w/ some pics pg 3*
2 bolts will hold just fine. may need to change intake gasket earlier than usual. but its not going to stop you from putting it back together and have a running and driving motor. i had 2 motors like this just fine

old gen vs new gen owners
helpless yuppie goes shopping for a car. there are 2 identical cars, same make, model, color, trim package, etc. one car has 80,000 miles and the other has 120,000 miles. which one would you pick? most go for the 80,000 mile car. why? less miles, duh. but lets look at it this way..... suppose this particular car has a 100,000 mile service interval. the 80,000 mile car is due for work whereas the 120,000 mile car has seen the work done. so all in all the 80,000 mile car will get you 20,000 miles out of it, whereas the 120,000 mile car will last you for 80,000 miles. i say this all the time to people shopping for cars and its blows their mind

miles fox , another road trip
all went well without a hitch! well, actually the hitch was necessary. hooray for a free lincoln and u-haul! i got some 600 bucks worth of towing package i have yet to pay for. its all on the boss to draw up an invoice, but for the moment he's too busy having me bring our stores hitch sales up:brow: anyway removed 3 cars from wisconsin and brought one back in just over 2 days, more like within 60 hours. stopped in columbus on the way out, and returned there exactly 24 hours later with a trashwagon on the way back. should i get my laptop working again i got some 400+ pictures to put up since the beginning of the rally

Trashwagon stranded in Fincastle, VA
well i was talking to my marketing company president at u haul about getting a super deal on hitch parts for the Lincoln Tow'n Car to run after the trashwagon in VA. i would essentially be getting 600 bucks worth of parts and labor for within 300 bucks, put them on my self to save the labor costs, and get paid for putting it on, as part of my training for the hitch pro position at work so far the tally would be a class 3 hitch for 4,000 lbs, 2" drawbar and 2" ball, transmission cooler and the lighting pigtail, and possibly a u-haul towbar

Trashwagon stranded in Fincastle, VA
well the 83 i was going to dump off in butler, but if you want it jim i can just as easily bring it your way. i also have a transmission for it, it also needs a front axle. other than that is has a matching set of wagon spoke weels with the center caps, and new exhaust. the motor runs flawlessly. little rust on the edge. give me a call or pm about the price. i also have a 95 legacy i can stand to let go for relatively cheap, something for your wife or even yourself to drive john, call me or pm with eds number, i know he was interested in some sort of subaru but deciding on which one i guess. i relly need to get rid of some cars so i can deliver then for a partial payment (fuel expenses) and take the rest later

Trashwagon stranded in Fincastle, VA
well folks, sorry fot the late response, but the car is at a country store rest stop off the side of the higway nearer to roanoke coming from lexington block selar somewhat helped, new plugs did not help at all, although the passenger side's were fouled with oil. i have come to the conclusion that the valve(s) are burnt up on the passenger head strong motor i'll say, it should have blown the head gasket some 9 overheats ago. it basically lost compression during cranking the starter at the last overheat. overheat i mean so hot that oil was boiling over out the pcv hole on the cam tower twice in a row? history repeats? maybe a third time will be a charm. at least im not in jail this time! although i got a picture of myself in the back of the hazzard county sheriff's car at "cooter's" in gatlinbutg, tenn. anyway the plan involves top gear magazines lincoln TOWn CAR that they will be leaving behind and a u-haul hitch installed at my own hand, then a jaunt out east. so, ed in columbus if you want that red 3-door i'll bring it your way. and anyone else along the way i can bring out my 75,000 original mile 83 wagon that is virtually MINT but with a little rust on the edges, should anyone want it, its a 4wd 4spd but needs a tranny my phone is 414-793-7728

Help...Need Advice on Buying Used Subaru
MilesFox replied to tmy23's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXif you find any 90-94 legacy go for that, as the pre95 were imported from japan and the 95 and later in good ol' INDIANA anyway the 90-94 has been proven the ost rock solid soob thus far. the later 98-00 odels were prone to head gasket recalls

EA82 and EA82T: Whats the difference??
find a carb motor and swap all your turbo heads and intakes to the carb block, and there you go. you get ore compression, but spfi blocksmay be too much compression for turbo.

i need a diagram or some help
if you have a haynes book the diagram is in the back once you find out which color wire is what, you will connect the speakers with a comon ground. the left side will share a ground, and same for the right. on the cd player you would combine the front and rear grouns to the ground for that side of the car, or you can leave one ground wire on both sides disconnected on the cd player end the individual green wire is hot all the time for the memory circuit

How to pypass park to starter connection
if your car was a 3at, look at the car end of the shifter connector. there will b e 2 fattest wires in the iddle, one black with white stripe and one black with yellow. if you jump these 2 wires the key will engage the starter i made an inch long wire stripped on the ends and doubled over to shove into the connector, then tape up
