  1. i know scrapdaddy put 3dr RX suspension and drivetrain under his wagon.. only issue i know of is that even with the engine in the car, it still sits higher in the front than the back.. otherwise nice and stiff..
  2. Blizzak's are pretty good for just about anything, lol.. and yes they make them in 13"
  3. i believe the ea82 shafts are either a tad bigger in diameter or a tad longer than ea81 shafts.. its been awhile since i had 2 sittin side by side..
  4. the coring of the governor is caused by a bad gear in the front diff.. or atf in the front diff.. my wagon suffers from ofer stuff as well as coring the governors.. wondering, what did you pay for another newish 3at 4wd trans?
  5. i have a laptop with a dvd player.. it'll run 6 hours on batteries, and i have an auto adaptor for it.. 14" screen size.. was planin on bringin it anyways..
  6. cool Mattocs, i'll hit Sam's this weekend, and let ya know how many.. I'm thinkin i'll be bringin enough for a lunch and dinner for all of us.. like 50 burgers and 50 dogs..depending on prices... is the least i can do.. if ya got a camp grill bring it too, prolly gonna need it.. i can get 4-6 burgers on my grill at once.. i just have a small propane camp grill.. thanks
  7. i'm bringin a small grill, and a 44qt. cooler full of burgers and dogs.. someone wanna bring the buns? if someone does, i'll go check out sam's and see just how many burgers and dogs i'll be bringin so ya know how many buns to bring.. coordinate with me folks..
  8. no oil pressure guarge is bad.. oil leak could be rear main, oil pan, or valve covers.. if they won't let ya take it to a mechanic then i'd say they are tryin to hide something.. If the car is mint inside and out i wouldn't offer anymore than $500 for it.. as-is.. just due to the fact they won't let ya go have a mechanic check it out..
  9. yipee, they should be here and on my car in time for Carlisle.. now for that body kit, hmmm...
  10. i looked in jcwhitney when i id my hatch, no luck.. so i bought one off ebay for like $35.. worked like a charm except for the fact that my windshield leaks...
  11. Scrapdaddy's RX Wagon is registered Order #2948 now to kick him in the shin for $15 bones..
  12. yeah it should have an LSD.. they came stock in the rx's.. does it have the checkered interior? if it does and you turn it into a rally car i could really use those headrests..
  13. well i talked with scrapdaddy last night, he's emailing me his info, and i'll be registering him in the next day or so.. so count another one in..
  14. Corky: that was one of the other pieces i snagged.. it was so shiny it was like new.. mine looks like it was rubbed with sandpaper. . :-\ its got a couple cracks in it though, and one of the studs broke off upon removal :-\
  15. junkyad, is called Tate's.. Heartless: skip and i had a conversation bout them thar brackets already.. am going out this coming weekend anyways to get the mirrors and stuff, i'll dig through the soobies and find ya a bracket.. the amplifier is that little round thingy with a wire comin outa both ends? correct? if not can ya shoot me a pic of what it looks like, so i know i get ya the right part.. hmm maybe i need to talk ta Dennis, hehe.. Dennis ya out there? got any headrests? in the meantime i took some headrests off a regular RX seat.. you can tell its grey but its close enough for now till i find the real thing...
  16. maybe a bad tank of gas.. been there done that.. i only run sheets in my cars now.. much better than exxon, lol..
  17. Sorry Subiemech.. afraid that is my car, lol.. those pics are from after the install.. didn't have the camera at the yard.. this yard is open 8-4:30 m-f and 9-3 on sat. so since i work those same hours m-f i can only get down there on saturdays.. there are acctually 2 justys there, an 82, and the other was a late 80's.. I plan on goin back out next weekend, so i'll take a look for black centers.. i seem to recall the 82' havin at least one of them, maybe 2.. heres a rundown of whats in the yard 3 ea82 sedans, 1turbo, 2 spfi, all automatic 2wd.. 4 or 5 wagons, all either carb or spfi and 2wd.. 1 RX sedan, not much left on it 2 justy's, one has mint interior, other is picked at.. one sedan has 4 h-alloys and tires that are almost new on it.. alloys are very nice.. think they go fer $15 each tho.. the turbo sedan has a complete ea82T in it.. amazed the turbo is still there.. the wagons all have engines in various states of parts.. a couple have real nice interiors... the 82' justy has mint interior, not a rip anywhere.. the other is black and missing a few things.. if anyone wants me to look for anything, let me know.. i'm not pullin any lsd's, tranny's, or engines at this point.. this is the kind of yard that never crushes anything.. maybe once every 5 years... and they already cleared half the lot.. so the soobies are stayin put for awhile.. ohh i saw a nice ea82 chrome roof rack.. its alot different than the black ones.. i'll have to snap a pic..
  18. i've been around awhile on the old gen side.. never owned a new gen car.. but i found a 92 legacy L sedan.. Automatic, 2.2L engine.. now i know the 2.2's are bulletproof and the most reliable engine subaru ever made.. this car has 165k body and paint are very nice, interior is also nice.. a couple things don't work like the drivers side seatbelt and door lock, and the power window switch is broke.. fiarly new tires too.. don't know if its AWD, i need to look for the rear diff tomorrow too.. now the other stuff.. the car has a stripped out plug hole on #4.. we started it and it fired right up even without that plug.. any opinions on helicoiling it? anything thats not obvious that i need to check for when i go back to check it out again tomorrow ?
  19. while i was at the junkyard, that i've been to, to many times to count. i was walkin around with a friend lookin for a maxima.. well i saw this little black justy.. so figured i'd go look.. after i peeked in it and saw it was a bare shell, i turned around and saw a midnight blue (so dark it almost looked black) ea82 sedan.. now i figured it was the same as all the other 6 or so sedans.. just a gl, or loyale, etc.. but i went over and looked anyways, since i hadn't seen it before and it wasn't with the other sedans.. first thing i notice was the back door.. "4WD TURBO RX" now when i saw this i got excited.. finally something to poke around at for parts, lol.. when i get up closer i see the passenger side mirror.. "its an 85' RX sedan" i could tell by the specific mirrors that were only on that year, model, body style soob. now i about wet myself.. then i peek in the window, and about passed out.. this is what i found... not 1 tear anywhere.. they are as good as when they came off the assembly line.. they are also not broke down either, nice and plush. the rear folds down as it should, its also got a center arm rest that folds down.. the rear folding part is a 3 piece fold down design.. the only thing that was missing was the headrests! (ARG!) so now i gotta track those down.. pictures say a thousand words.. i also snagged all the seatbelts out of the car along with a bunch of odds and ends.. i'm going back for the mirrors (for spares) this next weekend.. i'm debating on jerking the trans, rear LSD, and suspension out of the car for my wagon... its all there.. the car had 202k and was complete (minus my headrests, and wheels) it was a tad o n teh rusty side, and one door was caved in as well.. so i got outa the junkyard with the above seats, all the seatbelts, the resr center plastic (on the back of the trunk) a dome light cover, a bunch of plastic plugs, scrfews, etc. all for the very sweet price of $65.. now i need to find some headrests.. my wheels from germany will be here in a few weeks, and i have a body kit lined up.. Carlisle here i come! lol
  20. can you run one on my new toy? JA3CC54NXHZ056329 It's not a Soobie, its faster!
  21. all NA cars were 3.90, all turbo cars were 3.70 didn't matter if they were auto, stick, 2wd or 4wd..
  22. ohh, that reminds me.. i'll be bringin my portable propane grill, and a icechest full of burgers, hotdogs, cheese and buns.. so count me in for pitchin in with the food..
  23. just to give ya an idea.. i paid $60 for mine... had to put new exhaust on it from the y-pipe back, new windshield, it needed tires.. it has cold A/C too 4wd d/r 4speed.. now the good stuff... it had 200k, no 3rd gear synchro problem, gets 32 mpg, runs great. leaks a little bit.. almost rust free.. depending on location yours could be worth a few hundred, to at the most maybe 8 or 900..
