  1. might be the water pump going also, change the water pump while your in there, and make sure to do the Main crankshaft seal, those can leak ALOT!
  2. old post i know, but has anyone really figured out what this code means exacty? my RX is spitting it out from the LED light with the ignition ON. The car starts just fine, lol.
  3. LOL its called the truth, if he doesnt like it or gets his feelings hurt too bad, dont sell it here
  4. blah those mains can be a ***************, mine didnt want to budge, you can get a Main seal remover, or you can try to drill holes in it and thres screws into it and pull it out.
  5. Im defintly gonna own an SVX someday, can someone explian the whole window in window thing, and how annoying or nice it is? I dont see its entire point
  6. Ur thinking of like a Plymouth laser/eagle talon/mitsubishi eclipse
  7. lots of fuel lines on the drivers side engine bay check all of them
  8. Theres a 1st Gen Brat parked in front of some1s hous, next to a beat up corsica and van, all three not moving since iv noticed them. It has extremly oxidised Oranage paint, a white topper, and seemed to be in ok shape, 4WD too. Theres also a 1st gen brat running around thats silver, with those aftermarket Mag wheels they had back then, abit rusty but its alright.
  9. I belive the DL's had the quad 4 headlight setup, and GLs had the composite ones, badging, and DLs were more apt to be complete base models compared to GLs
  10. why not just FIX it??? its not hard to spice wires if thats all it is, it would probably be easier and take less time
  11. Ull want a 5 speed, Dual range car, steer clear of the turbos if you dont wanna do lots of maintence or fix other peoples neglect, I dunno if SPFI cars had dual range or not.
  12. the turbo sticking out of the hood of that thing looks soo stupid. Imagine one rock flys up and hits that its done for, and possibley your engine too.
  13. curious what the problem would be if the vents go to the defroster and vents, but not the floor? Vacuum problem too?
  14. ummm doesnt GM own part of Subaru....go to GM.com and Subaru is under the list
  15. I thought you used the Center Lock button on the consol and it locked it in 4WD? THats how it seemed in the 88 XT Turbo FT4WD i was gonna get, the autos dont have that??? how does the 4WD work then....
  16. I dunno about u guys but my car breaks them loose into second if your really on it (Turbo helps i guess). with my Summer tires or winter. My old Mazda had a 1.6 $ cyl, and it did way better on gas than this, it only redlined at like 5500 and i constantly hit that mark every day and i got damn near 30 mpg full city driving. But my subarus way faster, lol, ALOT more torque down low for sure. I like these cars, especially having 4 studded snow tires and 4wd on in a big ice/snow storm and everyones spinning and sliding, and im not even spinning a tire from a stop or sliding around corners, these cars are fairly amazing. Im loving mine more, just wish the heater worked better.....
  17. oh god, my gaskets just had a serious failure when i left work, i started it to go and it was POURING out white smoke, ohh man, and i drove and the large clouds wouldnt stop, or even slow, and i went to my friends, stopped, and smelled coolant, and now i went and came home and it left large clouds of lingering smoke. Uhg looks like im not gonna be waiting till spring....************ its like almost 0 outside.
  18. alright, well it wasnt perfect, and some of the bolts i couldnt get the gunk out of the threads, so im gonna order brand new bolts and new gaskets, also probably get a different intake manifold. I may have to have this wait till march or somthing, its WAY to cold, for now its running ok and not leaking tons of coolant. im not sure if my Torque wrench goes that low or not, it sa craftsmen, and it goes to 20 ftlbs but it keeps going quite a bit after the 20 mark, so mabye it does go to 14-16 or so. Also what kind of thread chaser would i want to use, im gonna guess like 10 mm or somthing? I also antisiezed all the bolts, so they can come out easy
  19. ah, torque.....what were the specs suppose to be? I got a new 1/2 in drive torque wrench for xmas. how would you reccomend cleaning the surface? i used 600 grit sandpaper till it was shiny and clean
  20. BAH! It is the Intake gaskets, i took a look, and the passenger side one is pouring out coolant, and my cars now burning more coolant than ever, crap! I can see where is trailing out of the intake gasket, why the hell didnt they seal??!!!
  21. My odometer reads 260,500 miles. But the engine has onl 35k on it or so, so does that count? the body has lasted
  22. You know my car would do somewhat the same thing randomly, i knwo different fueling system, and turbo, but it would idle great then just slowly nosedive till it stalled out, somtimes tried to hang to life but just died, although it would start back up for me and idle fine. Hasnt dont it since i replace the intake manifold gaskets
  23. I had the head of a bolt twist off, so i took all the rest off, and pried the manifold over the bolt, wich was easy, and then used some vice grips that were SOOOO tight, i mean i used chanell locks to lock the vices down, and it turned out with PB blaster, so really its not the end of the world.
