  1. I have been having a wierd issue with my clutch. It is slipping really bad and making a squeeling noise, until i press the pedal all the way down and then it goes away, and then when i release the pedel it starts squeeling again, even under load,. So today I pulled the engine, come to discover both of the bearings felt good as new, and the clutch looked like it was a little used but not enough to cause a slip? and the flywheel showed a little but of heat but not grooved or anything.??? Any ideas... it was not soaked in grease either.??????
  2. Hows the rubber? Because I just went through this. I was hunting down snowtires in my buddys subaru parts graveyard.. I had discovered snow tires that had like 90 percent tread, and those thing were light braking wobble, over 40 wobble over 50 death roll. come to find out they were retreds, Discount tire two brand new ones problem solved
  3. same thing happened to sooboutlaw in his brat,. He had bought those GCK axles, and he put it in, ansd it felt liek the front end was gong to fall apart, loud clunking and shaking and tugging. So replaced it with a pull a part axle, and problem solved,
  4. My car does the same thing, But it was from the oil pan gasket, and a torn cv, that just caked up down below and the exhaust heats it up enough to make it smoke a little and smell like burnt oil, not to sweet though, but still smokes, and I have swapped the engine to a low mile ea81 import, still does it with no leakes anywhere
  5. Sweet. I've been wanting one for awhile. Did you have to Do any modifications or plug and go. And did you wnotice any diffence in power or combustion e
  6. I was curious if anyone has run or is running a 6al msd ignition box on their GL. I ran a blaster coil before but it kept wrecking my distributor,?? Im not sure if the gls run a 12 to 18 volt system,. I know they work on vw bugs, I dont see why they wont work on subaru , I was also planning on running the nissan 90 amp alternator as well.. if that makes a diffence. thanks for advise
  7. Front CV Needs valve adjustment Clutch is burned. Pushbutton start failed,
  8. Where can I find, or does anyone know what kind of tire I can safley apply to the metric size rim.. I dont want to have to buy those 150 390 those suckers are expensive. Thanks. I just got 5 of them from pap today.
  9. Cool thanks. I try to buy all my stuff at Subaru but sometimes there so expensive. I bought my oil pump there brand new fo like 45 bucks, because it had sat there so long. Schucks wanted like 70 at the time.But thanks for advice.
  10. Why not just take it down and get it lightened a few pounds, pretty cheap. Ive heard you dont want to go to much, becuase it will rev up super fast and theres a chance, depending how hard your driving to damage the input shaft
  11. Call foreign engine in Lynnwood Washington they got a mess of of ej20t and ej25/ for great price. Ive bought 2 motors from them and all have been awesome working order, I bought my ea81 which im still using now and an MR2 motor that was perfect . 1 year unlimited mile warntee . From what Ive HEARD ej22 and ej22t were a rare motor in japan>? I dont know why It seems to be very very reliable.
  12. Well My buddy was coming over yesterday and his clutch cable housing thing snapped in his brat, { the little metal thing that holds it together} . Anyways I told him he could take the one off my standard hatch/, its wierd They are not the same, but on the cskauto and all those stores all showed the same cable and everything, when it is totally different, anyone wlse had this problem? He used hose clamps under it to get home hahahah. Why would the brat be different ?
  13. Do what Im going to do to my hatchback. Low Mile Import EJ20T complete motor 695$, 5sp AWD gearbox 795$ and then the rest of the parts that goes along with it $$$ unknown.. Plus our custom Fiberglass Hood that we are in the process of getting together, It will be nice a diffrent Kind of subaru..
  14. Ive seen a ea81wagon at pull a part, I spotted it and started making my way to it thinking I had found a nice low mile car, i mean wow this thing was so clean inside and out it almost looked like a new car, So I opened the hood and the motor was still so clean, so then I looked on the odom and it had 421,000. Ive also seen many Legacy in the 290,000 330,000 range... My Hatch is at 205,000 and it is still lays some good rubber and always starts first time
  15. I only have basic knowledge with metal working, But our other buddy who stays up at the shop has 3 welders and can do that sort of work, Id just have to ask him if he would be interested and fabing you up one. If your still interested.
  16. Im going to make one for my hatch and ill show you a pic and tell me what you think. What were you thinking, Like the ones in the pictures, or something diffrent? we can get started right away
  17. Hey guys. Me and a good buddy of mine are going to start making custom body kits for cars,{ side skirts, front bumpers, rear bumpers} Since Im a big soob fan Im going to make one for my 84 STD Hatch. I just want to see how many other people would be interested in them. It will definatly make your soob look like a whole new beast, and with an ej swap you will be turning heads. Do you need a custom dash, Pillar Guage Pod, Speaker boxes, fenders, hoods, hood scoops? We can get it done,.. Heres a couple examples of some of the work..http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3109820/6
  18. Hey I have an 87 std hatch. and I noticed that when the car was cold, and I start it up, It makes a grinding noise. I thought it was the throw out bearing because it goes away if I hold the clutch in, but when I release the clutch it starts again, and It only does this until it warm up then nothing. So I pulled the motor and tranny and put in a new rebuilt tranny just to be safe because my old one was hard sticky shift. So i bought a new tranny and a throw out bearing, The clutch has lke 50 percent left on it. ( io forgot to mention that the clutch slips bad too. so I replaced everything throwout and ttranny. And what do you know right when I started it up It started again, Anyone know what this is??????? I need to drive my soob gas is so expensive lol
  19. Baddest machine ive seen yet. besides the ej20t with a ej22t stroker kit. and nos.
  20. Your right it was a mistype, I wanted to try the jdm mr2 tailghts on my hatch. I have can get a set of them for 100 bucks from a freind. i think i might try iyt.
  21. I cant figure out how to post pics anymore for some reason so I cant show you guys. Its def a sweet look. A little spendy, but great look
  22. all was put in right thats the messed up thing. we even took the engine back out again and loked niothing. now it engages but the clutch sli[ps when shifted into gears and i have to go from second to first to oput in first gear and 4rth tto reverse to go in reverse other wise it grinds
  23. Where to begin. I have an 87 std hatch, I just purchased a import motor it was an automatic, i also have a new clutch kit that has less then 2000 miles on it. The clutch and everything worked fine on my old motor that i took out. what is happening now is. the clutch doesnt fully engage, And when it does it takes 5 or so seconds for the car to start moving, and its really hard to get into gear, and when in gear is almost like im in nuetral, i can rev the motor and not go anywhere like a bunrt out auto. The throw out bearing is new and flywheel is ok all clutch parts are new. anyone now what is wrong, and we tried adjusting the clutch too, and checked the pedel rump roast, and clutch cable????????????????????????????????????
