PB 5 spd drive shaft same length as d/r 5spd?
go ahead and they will fit. 5spd dual range, single range pushbutton, and RX full time trannies use the same driveshaft. the rear half of the driveshaft is the same between ANY 4wd soob

ATF flush on a manual
i replaced a timing chain and gears on an 80's pontiac bonneville to get it to run, only to find out it had a rod knock. crankcase was full of atf. but obviously the dude never intended to flush it out. what a waste(but i got paid to fix it!)

Dilemma: too nice to part out?
if both parts are in good running order. why not take the goodies off one car, and take the leftovers from the other and put them back on the donor? if you wanyed rear discs on the gl, then use the old drum setup and put them back on the gl-10. tyhey will interchange the same. i take it the gl-10 is an automatic. and the gl is a stick? 86 is my favorite year for a soob. good luck!

what is this part called?
yeah, you dont want to have a ball joint fall out, and end up parting your wagon out over a bent strut, and then complain that you caould have fixed it after it was junked, like someone i know...............

SEVERE RX problem...
my car dropped a valve seat, i believe. did your heads have cracks between the valves? mine had trouble after an 8000 rpm rev. (i know that wasnt good, but i just so happened to be at a high school parking lot with weak oil burning rice wannabes!)

HELP!! Need Loyale Headlamp cleanup info!!
take the (halogen)bulb out. if the bulb is uot it may dry out. if you can get the whole headligt out you can bring it inside and put it next to a heat source to dry out
-
Engine ran... then Died!
it could be the skinny vac line for the heat selection, the one that goes into the passenger strut tower
-
ventilation system not working right
so the fan works, but the heat only comes out the front vents?(bi-lev) there is a small skinny vac line that comes off the passenger side of the motor and runs up to the strut tower, tghat is what controls your heat selection

got pulled over in my soob
dont even get me started about the po-lice!

2wd to 4wd conversion, just swap rear spindles?
if using the 2wd torsion tube and assuming you willmake a diff hanger, you will have to swap out the lower control arms to use the 4wd spindles. if its an ea81 car, you can use ea82 rear trailing arms if you trim the bushings and make the mounting holes bigger for the 17mm bolts. you will also have to make a notch for the brake line. you will see what i am talking about when you put it together!

turbo took a dook
my turbo motor has seen its better days. after i got it running right, it seized up at the crank. i got it to free up dumping the clutch in reverse moving forward. but now i think it lost compression, it probablydropped a valve seaton the turbo side. now i am going to have to put the carb motor back in untol i find a new turbo motor or at least some heads. but now i have a new clutch, brakes, and fuel lines.i can live with a carb as long as i can drive! atleasti dont have to stay the night in the car for the time being. i amworking with a truck driver for the immediate time being. but having my car would bemore convenient! it never fails that every time i get insurance on a car, it is always in the shop!

1.8 in my 93 Impreza???
keep a spot open in the driveway!!!
-
Suspension travel?
on an ea81, it will drop down as far as the torsion bar will allow. on an ea82, all the wight is held by the coil sprin/strut, so with out that it could drop down all the wat to almost 90 degrees

1.8 in my 93 Impreza???
YES! and everything else will fit in a trashwagon:brow:

Trivia distributor question
the 85 and 86 distributor are the ideal choice for swaps and succh. since there is only 2 wires off the coil. i ran one on a carbbed motor in a car that was turbo, with all the mpfi still there. if yer talkin about it rotating backwards its all dependent on how the insides look, if anything spring loaded may want to "ratchet" going backwards. other than that, i think it would work. magnets and electricity all work the same, its a matter of physical movement inside so whereabouts are you in michigan? I live in the NE corner of Indiana, and one of my Subaru Alliance members TomRhere lives in hillsdale, and there are a couple of us in ohio (86 Subaru, The Alleyboy) and a couple of us right here in the corner of indiana(1ABAJA, Myoss Feece, Rgaff) we had a swap meet last year, and we meet in ohio quite often since recently, we are looking for new people to participate in our subarus!

Suspension travel?
the rx has 3 inches of suspension lift. we simplt made extensions for the coilover(you could use longer coilovers.) the only bind on the lower control arm was that on the bushings. if you loosen the bolts up the bushings will relax to that posture. we dropped the mustache bar the same amount to keep the axles relative to the hub an diff, just like they were. also a 2 inch drop shackle on the diff mount, to keep the ujoints from binding. its all real simple to do if tou get under there and take a look for your contemplations!

1.8 in my 93 Impreza???
well, if the car is hashed i think it would be nice to throw the whole motor and trans combo into an ea82, and get that xt6 for the 5 lug conversion. if the 'Preza goes for parts to fix the legacy, maybe we can invent a 5lug conversion out of that! (can you say strut cap mods?)
-
86 Turbo Sedan
i would throw 300 for any soob that runs and drives. i would assume being in nevada the car is not rusty. i have seen absolute rust buckets go for 500 bucks, non turbo at that!

what is up with my turbo?
yeah, the car is originally mpfi turbo. but the motor was in the truk when i bought it, and i drove it around with a carbbed spfi motor until i got the turbo motor together. i put on the spare parts, replacing the littlel nougat module on the coil bracket, the coil, the distributor, and the turbo inlet pipe, the ecu, and mounting the MAF to its stock location. i go to start and assume i still have no spark. i has my buddy chegk for spark, she was firin' away" the dist was off 180, so i flipped it around and bam, she fired right up. i have been driving around all last night. the car will run like a scalded dog, but she still misses a bit when she's warm. but the car is vary driveable, and way lots better than before. the big cone filter is still mounted on top so people will wonder what is coming up on them!

Help!My head bolts ripped the threads out of my block!
overheating aluminul will cause it to lose its grain, so to speak. the molecular structure will break down and go kind of powdery in that sense
