SOOBOUTLAW

Can't help but tear through that patch of gravel on the side of the road, those front tires spray stuff into the engine bay...but I've been lucky.

Gonna catch debris in your timing belt eventually, whether or not you go offroad...

When I went to PAP after a brake pad fell out of my caliper and ground the rotor(not the first time it happened) I just took the whole hub/rotor/caliper/axle assembly out of an '83. Piece of cake vented rotor swap for my '80 Wagon. Gonna do it for my Brat too eventually.

I used Helicoil on mine (EA71). Never tried Timeserts. Is there a difference in quality and performance? Helicoil I used is stainless.

Is there a Weber adaptor for it? The EA71 and EA81 carbs are different bolt spacing on the manifold, won't interchange (at least from what I have laying around).

Thanks dude, you sure know your Subaruism.

I'm trying to find what kind of carb came with my EA71. There are no markings. What did they use in Japan? Would I have to order parts for it overseas? I was told by my uncle, a Subaru mech, that I wouldn't find a rebuild kit for it in the states.

Can't find plugs, so I'll plug the fittings with 3/4" steel rod and have it welded. I'll keep the air pump or whatever it is on til I get me a Weber.

Same setup I had before I blew the transfer case on my third s/r tranny just after restoring 4wd. Got D/R now, broke axle:-\ .

Ever overfill your oilpan? It'll blow huge thick smoke on turns HUGE SMOKE!!! That was sooo cool, LMAO.

I have an auxilary five circuit fuse box I use to replace whatever circuit dies and gets cut off and rewired.

Is your RX Hatch just like the EA81 Hatch, or a 3 door coupe?

I need to plug the holes where the fittings from the air pump attach to the exhaust spacer. I can't seem to find anything about the thread pitch and diameter. Also, will an engine pass without the air pump? About 20k on rebuild, brand new cat, passed emissions in November with the pump hooked up, but swapping motor from wagon to Brat and have to take emissions test to register. (Several vehicles are involved in the above mentioned, I can go through details if needed.)

My fuel pump does just that, runs when I crank, but doesn't run when engine fires. I put a lighted toggle switch on my steering column to turn it on/off. The red light is really bright driving at night, right in my face.

Hatchy's problem, I'm only installing it. Is the EA82 manifold direct bolt on?

My '80 wagon was in rwd for a while. Loads of fun powersliding and line lock burnouts. Went through a big stack of tires.

OK, back again, the kit is from redline, motor is EA81, adaptor sits foreward and I can see half inch of manifold gasket surface, stick my finger in the hole and can feel alot of the rear adaptor surface. Have a few distys laying around.

I've blown two diffs and a transfer case on three separate trannies.

My Optima redtop sits on it's side where the spare tire used to be on the firewall.

Yeah, I noticed... but the adaptor sits a little too foreward, good half inch.

Weber carb, hot coil (Accel or MSD), free flow muffler, Nippondenso distributor off 2wd, just for bolt ons. 1600 pistons, reground cam, shaved heads, port n polish for a true built brute.

Use a 1/2" bit, almost perfect if not exactly for 13mm. Not sure of lug stud size though...

Found that 1/2" hole... oh well. Anybody ever have an offset issue with the adapter to the manifold? This one kinda overlaps foreward, and a little cocksided.

I think the '81 DL EA81 2wd wagon I used to have had one.

My '83 Brat GL EA81 doesn't have an ECM. My '83 GL EA81 wagon doesn't have one either. My '80 EA71 wagon (gen 2) of course doesn't have one. Hatchy's '87 standard EA81 Hatch doesn't have one, nor anything else(very standard). Both '83's have DCP306-21 Hitachi carbs. Are the '83's supposed to have an ECM?
