SUBARU3

Tommy, as we discussed.....let me know how you make out with my check. Did you cash it yet? Todd

All 77-79 Subaru front seat will interchange. Two differences.....the "GF hardtop" seats had a thinner cushion, mainly to lower to seat due to the low roofline. It still bolted in place like all the others. The BRATs had thinner seatbacks, so they would recline more in the limited space environment. Hope this helps. Todd

The EJ18 and the EJ22 compare like this. EJ18 1.8L: 110 hp, 110 torque@4400rpm EJ22 2.2L: 135 hp, 140 torque@4400rpm Todd

I have used transmissions from the 70s out of salvage yards and have never has a bad seal. Todd

Yea...I was wondering why it never cleared my account!! I have an account! LOL. My check is good. Go to any Bank of America and cash it with ID, (if you personally have no account to deposit it to). If that doesn't work, send the check back to me and I will Paypal you. Whatever is needed to get you your $15 is fine with me. Email me your phone # and I'll call you. Regards, Todd

Thanks for the feedback! Todd

Quick question: I have 2 master cylinders for Gen 1 vehicles. One is stamped 13/16 and the other 3/4. Both "look" identicle. Are these both interchangable on the car? Any profound reason why they would not each be able to be used interchangably? What would be inpacted by using 13/16 on a car with an original 3/4? Thanks!!!! Todd

I have them on the Impreza. No issues, no spacers, perfect fit! Todd

Thanks for all the feedback! I was just wondering if the rear drums on the newer cars lasted as ones as on the early ones. Here in TX , no salt!! Horray!! Heck, the late 70s lasted forever! I think mainly because they had "manual" adjusters and they rarely got adjusted. Both my 95 Impreza "squeak" when cold. They operate quietly when warm. Have 80K on one and 62K on the other. Hate to open it all up if they are fine. I have no braking issues with either and the cars stop perfectly. It's just the cold squeak! Todd

Yes..I need the number on the ORIGINAL factory shocks on ANY subaru from 1974-1979, including BRATs and 4WDs. (up to 81 on the BRATs) They are all the same. Todd

Don't drums and shoes last a bit longer? I know on my vintage Subis, they seem to have the originals at 150K and 20 years. Todd

Any idea on the average life on the original rear shoes? Todd

Thanks for checking Mia. I really need the original #s from Gen 1 cars, wagons or BRATs. They all have the same ones. Todd

Bump Stilll looking for the #s on these shocks. Todd

OK..I'll let you know. Todd

Not yet. Todd

Thanks all! Todd

When I get the film, I plan on having it converted to VHS. I'll most likely offer copies for sale for the price of production. Any interest? Todd

That Midas price is ROBBERY! Who do they think they are?????????????????????????????? I get so tired of this kind of GREED in the auto repair industry. Those prices border on criminal. You should write their corporate and give them some of your thoughts! Todd

I'm watching this post too. I'm curious. Todd

Yea, those are replacement shocks. Thanks for looking though! Todd

Does anyone have a Gen 1 car , wagon or BRAT with the "ORIGINAL" rear shocks on it? They were made byTokico and have the Subaru stamp on them. It is on the top section of the shock. You can turn it with your had to locate the stampings. I need the part #s marked on the shocks. If you get a chance to look, I would appreciate knowing what is marked on the shock. Thanks! Todd

I've developed a similar problem in my Impreza. AC is not the problem. I know body caulk dries out and starts to leak, but not usually till 20 years. Todd

I'm south of McKinney, so I'm further! LOL Todd

He has one, but it needs painted. He's afraid that he won't be able to get it to match. His red paint is a wee bit faded on the car. Not bad, but he feels the spoiler would stand out as too bright. Todd
