Replace tie rod or just the boot?
backwoodsboy replied to idosubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe repair on these is kind of like the repair (or replacement) for a blown axle boot. If the boot is trashed (but the joint is ok) I change just the boot. On the other hand... sometimes its obvious that LOTS of crap has gotten in there (or the joint is on the way out anyway) In that case, change the boot and joint. Other people (mechanics also) say there wont ever be a better time to change the joint.... and do em all at once. I dont always see the need.

Carlise May 15-17th the East Coast Meet
My thoughts exactly. I have said to a few... I know people will contunue to attend the show, and thats fine. Im not here to convince people to NOT attend the show. I just dont have any desire to go back there with my truck after getting thrown out for bull$hit reasons at 10:30 at night. :-\ My vote... is that we toss around ideas for some common ground where everyone could gather, and do our own ECSS. Obviously, Carlisle is just NOT the place.

EA71 Flat top pistons
The rings will need to match the pistons. 25 over was the largest oversize subaru offered IIRC.

Brat parts or junkyard?
Myself and several other on the board here have assorted parts that most likely can be yours for various prices. Push rods I have Brush guard... hmmm Jumpseats I dont have for sale but others do.

swaybar delete? let's hear the good/bad/ugly for sway bar removal...
I tossed mine this past spring. Wish Id done it years ago. I regularly drive my brat at 75+ on the interstate... no problems. I regularly wheel my brat... no problems. Pitch the bar!

I have the idea the feeling must be mutual. Congrats on getting all the $$ back! I thought for SURE they would have deducted a BS fee (and a turfing fee)

83 Coupe Love ..Restore Progress ( Pics page 2)
Hows that any different than normal? All the wires looked to be in previously untouched condition. No breaks in the insulation, and no internal wire breaks. Continuity checks always came back good wherever I tested.

check this out
backwoodsboy replied to bgambino's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSubaru has 3 "shapes" that are available in multiple part #s. 16546AA10A & 16546AA090 - These two are (nearly) identical to each other. 16546AA12A is the same style as well. All are square 16546AA080 & 16546AA020 are the short rectangle shape but the 080 is much more expensive (with better filtration) Then you have the long rectangular style that is only available in the 16546AA07A They all have different "flow" charachteristics... I think Subaru is "overengineering" their filters

I might be going nuts about the turn signal?
backwoodsboy replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf you have a bulb (or bulbs) out... that always makes the flasher time faster. That, and there is no standard flash rate. I always compare my flasher time to the person ahead of me in traffic (usually out of boredom) and in all my years of driving, Ive NEVER found anyone that has the exact same flasher rate as mine.

So, i guess this is a leaking rear main...
I say "if the engines out.... change it!" (unless you just did) There will never be a better time, and the seal is cheap. I always make sure that I fuzz up the outside edge of the seal with some emery cloth before I put it in. Helps keep the seeping in check around the OUTSIDE of the seal. The seperator plate is ALWAYS a good idea to re-seal.

83 Coupe Love ..Restore Progress ( Pics page 2)
Connie, No matter how much that car aggrivates you, LB is like the little prodigy child that is "one in a million" (and WAY too rare and special to stay mad at) Of course, when he sees Darlingchip and I pull in the drive with my Brat, he will go "uh-oh... shes breaking out the BIG GUNS! I BETTER BE GOOD!" BTW... my battery disconnect works awesome
