  1. hmm i like #3 but the mountains look nice as well. still i have to go with #3 though.
  2. hhmm. been kicking that around myself. i was wondering though, which is a stiffer shock out of the monroe or the kyb's. cause there are different grades of each.
  3. yeah i saw that but i hoped that a renewed intrest might show that poeple really want this. i know a hood and trunk lid for my car would be great addition. nothing like carbon fiber on a $1,000 car.
  4. intrested myself. but price is going to be the only thing to hold me back. if it is over lets say 400 then it is to much for what i paid for the car. but hell yeah and a possible trunk lid as well. hhmm carbon fiber.
  5. same here om the ea 82 hood. for my 88 gl. and trunk if you got one to make a mold of. gives me ideas for the paint scheme for my gl.
  6. friggin sweet. sound good to me. i thought i would have to make a trip to west coast for a meet. my subie would be ready by then. just need to get the rad. in and buy the brakes and wheel bearings. and that wont cost me much thanks to work. advance auto parts. love the discount. now if my enkies will just get here. subie needs new shoes.
  7. dude you on it today thanks for the info. from both of my post.
  8. do they make the sandwich adapter for the ea 82. i have searched but no luck as of yet.:-\
  9. i have an 88 gl. i was wondering if there were heads that have exhaust ports differ from mine i have single ports on each side. are there heads with daul exhaust ports and could i swap them on my engine. or would it be worth the hassle? seems maybe dual ports would be better than one.
  10. pricing will be what i paid to get materials. timing i am hoping to get started when i locate all parts needed. if all goes the way i hope it would could have something in 3 to 6 months. as i said before depends on demand for any of this. i hope to use my car as a canvas so other can see what it looks like on the car. not just pictures of the parts alone. i give it month t o see of demand for it by then :cool: i could hit the ground running with parts i have by then.
  11. if i cant find all the parts i need i just may have to. so far i think i have located atleast the lip spoiler and ea81 front air dam.still looking for rx kit. if anyone has pics of anything not mentioned above. please show me or tell about any style of stock stuff. custom will come depending on how much intrest there is. plus at work i can get supplies with employee discount. so the upstart would not be to intrusive to the wallet.
  12. [.if you made them do you think you could make the rear end spats that were on that sedan RX ] if i could get my hands on that piece or even a few good pictures of one then just maybe.
  13. i had a thought about getting sets of different front air dams and body kits for these old subaru's. not really custom but remakes of factory stuff. i have found really hard to find these.the first ones would be fiberglass, if i can find a good set then maybe with a little work and trial and error. make a few molds and bam. repro body kits. if this sounds like some thing others would like i might just make more than for my car. also things like gl-10 rear lip spoiler. etc etc. if i have left out something or over looked it please let me know. rx body kit, front air damn ea 81 gl-10 lip spoiler. that is what i have seen from the factory. thanks Ken:headbang:
  14. i could be wrong. others please feel free to correct me. the r-12 fittings on the a/c hoses two fittings hi and low side. the r-12 fittings are screw on and the 134a fittings are like air compressor. pull back and clamp on. i hope this helps you out. Ken:headbang:
  15. awsome. thank you for posting that. sometimes we can forget about the world around us with our day to day things. it is pictures and a stories like yours that makes me remember that there is more out there than just what we see and do on a daily basis. brave man running off the bear:eek: . good luck with future trips. gonna check into the military cans as well.
  16. you are not the only one. but you are just one of a very few it seems here in florida.i would like to make it down there but i have already set myself on the hot rod power tour in gainesville on the fourth of june. so maybe next get together i can find the time to come down. it would nice to find other subie owners here in florida. i myself own an 88 gl sedan.
  17. am i right in assuming that those will only fit mutiport injection and not the spfi?
  18. looking to see what after market wheels have been put on ea82 sedans wagon etc. and what mods or adapter plates needed would like to put one on mine. any info would be a big help thanks. the forum is one of the best i must say for help. most any other forums just bs there way through helping. chaulk up another for subaru. please pics would be nice but any help is better than none
  19. dc 29 or lakeland warehouse in here in florida seem to be the best, for oem parts but the old stand by mater pdq in tennesse is my other choice. what about for you can you tell me if any around you has subie ea82 parts. most of them here (florida) dont really carry to many ea82 parts cause those cars did not sell as well as in the north.
  20. sweet glad to hear i am not the only one. lol. not sure about dragon run. i am going to central florida in june for the hot rod power tour. thanks for the invite though. i have had my car since nov. 05 and i hope to add to my collection possibly a gl 10 sedan. we will see. any cars you see for sale feel free to drop a line here and let me know thanks.
  21. well, well, well, i guess since i am logistics for advanced auto parts. i need to post as well. ok as others have said, find parts pro that has been mechanic. or is good with cars. i have two in the store in front of the warehouse i am working for. if i go when those people are not working (example). i was looking for an oil pump seal. went before work had non mechanically inclinded parts pro he could not find it. with help from another like him. but when i go that afternoon the commercial guy i like to deal with found it in 20 seconds. but as for what has been said about loyale for ea8s parts and such he is right. just try to find parts pro that is a car person or mechanic and you should be fine. go pdq 71. woohooo. just be patient. if they can not find the part then try anohter parts pro get to know them cause if you have older gen subie they will know you. go subie.
  22. i was thinking of changing the halogen lights i have that are glass. to the four sealed beams. has anybody changed the front headlights to this converted set up? the way it looks it may be possible. but i need a closer look at the 4 headlight setup. gonna try to get out this weekend to see if they have crushed this 88 dl. hope fully i can get an idea if this will work.:-\ :-\
  23. oh yeah man. i would love to see what you had done to your car. i am in the process of designing my own. i would like to get some ideas to play with my own. looking forward to hearing that sweet sound.
  24. i got my first gl this past november. i got it because my truck was ready to for project work. the gas prices as well. i am up to 309,455. i have put about 5,000 miles on it myself. no problems yet on mine. i have added alt. battery (optima) red top. few other small touches. good luck with yours. i hope mine gives me another 100,000 miles. might be wanting to much but i wish cant I?????
  25. the rubber trim that goes around the windsheild is dried and loose. i wanted to replace the sealant under the glass. but without the trim rubber would not be much point. now i have tried the junkyards but not luck with getting one still useable. if anyone knows where i can find the trim for the front and possible for the rear as well would be great. florida sun just kills the rubber on vehicles. did the same to my f-100 ranger. but i can get the windsheild gasket easy. subaru on the other hand no luck yet. i did score well in the u pull it monday though i got two headlights like new. turn signals. hubcaps set of 4 and center caps 3 of those and all power window switches for all four doors. and many other small parts. it was like 42 bucks. woohoo. i would have gotten the dash from the loyale i got headlights out of but it auto. i have a 5 speed. if anyone needs a 92 loyale owners manaul. and sleeve that it comes in with other books you can have it et me know.
