  1. use a pair of pliers or just a screwdriver type camp. a lot of times i have kept the same hoses for swaps. the only brittle hose i saw was an RX, and i dont think it was the oe hose. if you were the one who serviced the hose, then you would know what to expect. so then you dont have to worry about hings, since you know whats up about it
  2. open ports is the funnest. i outran the sheriff with open ports on my sedan
  3. right now i am pondering making a collar to fit an ea82 strut to the xt/legacy knuckle is the bracket in the pictures welded to the strut?
  4. Corky, if we remember the TrashWagon5, we would have observed the ea82 lower control arm, axle, knuckle and strut on the 83 wagon's original crossmember so then now the xt6 lower control arm would thus swap. and with the ea81 strut cap modifcation like it is on the ea82 strut, fit the cap to a 2wd legacy strut. so now that the car already has an ea82 axle, the same length and suspension geometry ans an ea82, the xt6 axles will fit also, when i got the xt6 parts i looked at them, compared them to a 2wd 90 legacy. I notice that the legacy and xt6 have the same style knuckle and strut. but the brake caliper, rotors were different. the legacy has a staked nut like the impreza, but the xt6 had a same sixe nut, but a castle cap and a cotter pin. but the legacy axle and the xt axxle both slide thru the splined rotor, and not pressed in. like it was on the 93 impreza the rear had ea82 style spindles, so they would fit on the ea82 rear trailing ars in the 83 wagon right now the parts will be going on the 87 gl10 wagon, just need some struts I have a 5spd full time from the xt6, as well as my existing 5spd s/r turbo ok, the xt6 axle is way fatter than the legacy axle. so is there any legacy axles that have the same diameter of a 23 splined TURBO axle??(like ina 4wd xt turbo)
  5. you could always tell a soob the way it sounds. all subarus have that warbly sound
  6. Mouth-Off the fuel pump will be located just behind the passenger side rear wheel. there will be a filter at the pump, as well as one under the hood. you can hardwire the fuel pump to a switch on the dash, if you prefer the wiring can be run in thru a grommet behind the drivers seat. all of the fuel lines run ino the body thru this grommet.
  7. its down below, near the floor. remove the lower kickpanel from the dash. and you will see the heater box, its toward the bottom, held on by 2 screws, and a green and red wire to a clip. the coiils are towards the inside of the heater box.
  8. 2 jugs for the price of 1 woll swap you a lot of motors. i tend to run a lot of straight water because i never have enough antifreeze. but some kind of 15/75 mix i will have in the summer time because.
  9. looks like you got a nasty short somewhere. follow along and look for melted wires. maybe a short with one of your turn light circuits
  10. hopefully we now have a compression ratio of around 8.0. the pistons look the same as spfi, so i wonder if the carb motor has a longer stroke? and its compression ratio is determmined by the stroke, not the pistons?
  11. going out ans screwing around in a n icy parking lot will teach you a thing ot two. lets you apply what you know
  12. start by draining the oil. then change the filter. then put oil in.
  13. the fatter one with the yellow stripe is a body ground, crounds to a screw on te front of the car. the skinny one goes toa black clip near the coil no positive here, dont short anything!
  14. yes, a cd player can and will be hooked up in a soob, common ground, as is so the 83 trashwagon and the 87 rx, both with pioneer cd. the ground from front and back speaker channels will be together. either left or right- for front and rear the other - speaker wires from the radio will not be connected to anything. i did mine by poking around on the factory clip, using female blade terminals to hook-up. the rx is wired permanently to a subaru stereo harnedd, it will unclip, but fit soob harness only for the dash speakers, the one on the left, remove the cover, pop it out there are screws above the fuse panel for the speaker mount, and one above the speaker the right speaker is above the glovebox. remove the glovebox and the speaker is on a bracket held on by 8mm nuts
  15. yo, i had the idea of using 5 lugs on an ea81 buy mine had the ea82 front end, lower control arm conversion, so an xt swap would would go like that of an ea82 the rear already had ea82 trailing arms, so xt's would swap in, ea81 axles so what doj did you use with your axles, ?
  16. here is some pics of what we did so far http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/87rx/rxbuild/rxbuild001.html we blended in the valve reliefs on the pistons, and ported the heads. the top end of the motor is complete, new seals, intake mounted. the carb block will keep its oil pump, it will use the carb pulley. ac will be eliminated. all the seals are new except for the oil pan and front crank. but the belte will be installed with no covers, for ease of service
  17. check to see if the axle nut or the shaft threads are strupped. sometimes the nut will yighten up, but will walk off on bad threads. take the nut off completely and check it out
  18. yes, the HAYNES manual "Subaru 1600 & 1800" 1980-1994 89003 (681)
  19. with a gallon jug and a new bottle of coolant, its economical to pour half of the coolant into the gallon, then fil both with water. now you have 2 gallons for the price. this is good for when you pull motors or radiators
  20. what about if the clutch cable was too loose, causing the clutch to be partially engaged with the clutch pedal pushed in
  21. if you can see a haynes manual, there is a full underbody view. i can scrounge up pics that i have these are ea81, but the design is similar. the crossmember view is looking down from the top, the side that bolts to the car http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/parts/ea81suspension.jpg http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/parts/ea81transmember.JPG This is the main part of the rear suspension in ea82 http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/parts/ea82rearsuspension.jpg strut brace mount http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/parts/strutbrace.jpg rear trailing arm out xt6 (ea82) http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/parts/xt6reartrail.jpg rear diff out of car http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/parts/reardiff.jpg lifted diff on the RX, for bigger wheels http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/87rx/difflift.JPG
  22. is the clutch cable too tight? if its tighte enough, it will engage the clutch fork,
  23. the pressure regulator is after the injector, i do believe. so its that way on mpfi. it just sends back what the injector doesnt use up
  24. napa 1361 silver and gold filters are good. i read somewhere that napa oil is actually valvoline. maybe a valvoline filter comes from the same manufacturer of the napa filter?
