Have you checked for Vacuum Leaks around the Carburetor and its Base? Any unhooked Vacuum line? Kind Regards.

Desperately needing 14" or 15" wheels
That is True, the Peugeot wheels does stick out too much. However, without the Lift, I was using Aftermarket wheels that had same problem than the Peugeot ones, sticking out too much. So, recently I obtained a set of Nissan's 240sx 15" wheels, whose offset seems to be Perfect for the L series / EA82 wagon; they has -40 offset and stays inside the wheel's well like the factory ones. By the way, what was *exactly* the Factory offset measurement for the EA82 / L wagons? Kind Regards.

Erasing Both catalytic converters + a full 2" exhaust piping, Really helps with the Weber. Kind Regards.

Desperately needing 14" or 15" wheels
I ran 205/60 R15" on my "BumbleBeast" when it was unlifted, those are between 24.5" and 25" depending on the tire brand, and I only had a slight rub on the inner front fender, on tight curves at fast speeds. I still use same size with my 2" lift, because it gives the best balance for Highways / offroad \ city driving and fuel mileage, with awesome grip. Kind Regards.

help with lift steering
...as far as I remember, the EA82's with Power Steering, has an steering coupler with two universal joints, while the EA82's with Manual Steering, only has one universal joint on their coupler; so in that case, you better elongate the one you already have, if needed. Kind Regards.

help with lift steering
That is a Big difference ... ... The information regarding the steering shaft, that needs to be lengthened, if you drop the engine's crossmember, is for the EA82 with Power Steering, Not for the Manual Steering models...

Have you already installed the Strut top Blocks? Also my "BumbleBeast" is an '85 EA82 Wagon, and the '92 Legacy steering coupler works great: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/113907-lookin-for-a-front-lil-lift/?p=1257473 Kind Regards.

Convert an older EA82 from carb to EFI>
Usually, we elongate the Holes for the Bolts at the SPFi intake manifold, to mate it to the EA81 Block. You used another way to get same Achievement as well... In fact, a New, Non-Feedback hitachi carburetor is Great, and that is the Reason why certain forum members in other countries like Australia, will never Understand our Love for the Weber Carburetors: They never received a True Feedback Hitachi Carburetor with O2 sensors, more Sensors, lots of vacuum hoses, etc... Sorry for Hijack the Thread, Kind Regards.

Convert an older EA82 from carb to EFI>
May I ask you Why? I understand the problems that an Old, feedback Hitachi carburetor gives; but you can Weberize the engine easily, and a weber carb is Reliable, provides almost the same power than the SPFi plus the unique induction noise...

our Cars Unique Quirks
Holy Cow! ... ... I must admit that I completely Forgot about the intermittent setting on the Wipers of my Subie, that Feature stopped working as it should since 1994, and despite that I know that the issue must be located internally, on the Wiper Motor, I have been too Lazy to fix it, maybe because here is almost not needed: On the Caribbean we either have Sun Shining or Downpours, more often than slow rains... If you removed the Cable from the Clutch Fork to the Hill Holder's Check Valve, then you shall place a Return Spring at the clutch Fork, because it was located at said Valve, and the clutch might develop certain wear without the Spring. There's a placement for that spring at the Fork, because not all these Subarus featured Hill Holder, you can buy the exact spring at the Subaru Dealer. Kind Regards.

Gasoline grade and performance
Sadly, in Honduras, the Higher octane Gasolines, barely reaches the amount of octanes found on the Lower octane Gasolines that you have in USA, and we call that, the "Super" ... ... and then, comes the "Regular" that is lower than the Lower octane Gasoline offered in USA ... ... those are the only two options we have here; but once upon a time, long years ago, we had a Third choice, named: "Gasohol" which was a crazy Gasoline / Alcohol mixture, with even lower octane, that the engines almost vomited... That being said, I noticed that my Wife's M.P.F.i. engined car, really performs almost the same with our "Regular" and our "Super" Gasolines, however, the car really uses almost 30% more with Regular fuel, than Super for same Mileage, and needs to have the Gas pedal, floored more frequently, to climb hills and pass on Highways... On my Weberized Subaru EA82 which I run at 20º Timing, the engine develops ignition Noise with Regular, which almost disappears with the Super. My '69 coupe really don't care what it has on the Tank, it always performs Flawlessly, somehow, and all the Measurements I've took, were using this Method... ...as I explained here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/101718-kia-sephia-sporty/page-24?do=findComment&comment=1276280 Kind Regards.

New member and have a 1986
Welcome! At that level of Plans, you better obtain a wrecked impreza and retrofit the Brakes and Drivetrain to the Brat; believe me: it is Easier than it sound; and besides of having an STi on disguise, the Brat is Awesome by itself, so that would be an Amazing project, which already has been done by some people worldwide. By the way, we love Photos here, so maybe you can share some of your Brat, with us. Kind Regards.
