[So. California EA82 Wheeler]

that sounds terrific.. i'm excited to see it come to fruition.

[440 Justy]

I was really hoping to see a Justy with a Mopar 440 big block.

Very disappointed.

 

hahah.. i thought the same thing!

[So. California EA82 Wheeler]

followed your work on the wrx wagon.. excellent stuff!

 

is the EA82 going to turn out similar as far as build?

[I'm a little hard on the old Foz]

Good to see that you made it through with only minimal damage!

[DirtyWagon goes Wheelin']

Saw it on NASIOC. Love it. Good to see pics of it in action.

[Awesome video I made of my lifted wagon in action]

great vid.

[Whats everyone doin??????]

Hehe. Not much down in Atlanta, Ga.

 

I'm thinking of doing either a FI swap or putting a 32/36 on the car because the stock Hitachi isn't running too well and the car is skipping pretty badly despite brand new plus, wires, cap and rotor.

 

Need to do new shocks and build some bumpers..

 

Too many things to do.. too little money.

[Georgia members: Any good Subaru repair shops in Atlanta, GA area?]

I work on my older VWs myself and they aren't too bad at all.

I also do all the work on my newer Legacy Outback.

However, when it comes to that Hitachi carb on the car.. since it's not a Weber or a Mikuni.. I'm just

I just don't have the time to fiddle with it and I feel bad that the car sits instead of being driven.

 

The dealer likes to 'look' at my car, but I don't know if they can do anything to it. A friend of mine works as a tech for a local BMW dealer and my group of friends also own older BMWs (E30s, E28s etc.) and he said, "All the guys that know those cars are retiring and besides, we don't have any of the specialty tools anymore."

 

I'm in the Norcross, Ga area. Not too far from I-285 and I-85.

[Georgia members: Any good Subaru repair shops in Atlanta, GA area?]

Yeah.. unfortunately that seems to be the trend.

 

Where are all those old Subaru guru's like in the older watercooled and aircooled VW crowds?

 

I guess just not in the Southeast.

[Georgia members: Any good Subaru repair shops in Atlanta, GA area?]

I just haven't had the time lately..

 

Here are the main problems currently:

 

Oil leak onto driver side manifold (burning/smoking)

Idles poorly

Stalls when cold

High idle when warm (until you blip gas)

Overall feels down on power. I'm thinking it has a lot to do with the Hitachi carb.

Unfortunately with emissions inspection, I need to stay with the Hitachi carb or go oem SPFI to stay legal.

 

needs a new clutch cable

passenger door will not open

 

Left front axle clicking (have axle / need to be replaced)

I'd like to do new ball-joints as well.

Hello everyone,

 

I'm looking for a good Subaru mechanic that I can take my EA82 to get some work done.

 

Lately, I haven't had the time to work on my EA82 and it's running poorly and needs some more work to be reliable. The car has rarely been driven in the past year because it needs work.

I am looking for a good independent mechanic in the metro Atlanta and surrounding areas. If anyone has some recommendations or knows of a place that specializes on older generation Subaru, the information will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Eugene.

[replaced stereo now no dash lights??????]

the ground for the radio could be hooked up to the factory dimmer/illumination wire?

 

this wire will read ground when the lights are off but reads voltage when the lights are on...

 

check to see if you've burned out the dimmer.

[Finally Pics of Lifted 84 GL, Lookey Here!!!]

great to see another 'southeastern' lifted subaru fan!

 

hmm.. maybe we need to have a GTG if there are enough guys around.

[Finally! Monster wagon off-road]

Well, one more pic, playing on a snow bank.

 

 

 

[3 weheeled subaru]

[Four wheeler Magazine]

done

[92 sedan lifted! Look!]

whoa.. did you build a frame that bolts between the subframes and the body of the car?

[Jocassee Gorges 10/27]

wow.. that looks great. i'm in atlanta, georgia and that doesn't seem like too far of a drive.. can you tell me how to get there? or about where it's located?

 

thanks!

[Off Road Poster? Getcher submissions in soon. Just about ready to roll.]

I'm undecided, but one of them will stay definitely!

 

 

 

[For those of you who remember it...]

i can't wait until you're done so i can see pics of the megasquirt setup. i'm planning on putting it on my '88 GL so i can get rid of the carb.

[Seafoam=fixed gas gauge]

seafoam is awesome. i use it in all my older vw's and my subaru GL.

[best off-road lights!!**i want pics of your car w/ lights!!!**]

[First photos of my 6" lift - 56k ok]

[A lil' Georgia wheelin' action.. (big pics)]

thanks for all the comment guys.. i'm planning on going again this weekend with a coupla of jeepers.. since there will be more rigs there.. i might be able to get some pretty cool shots and try some more stuff.

[A cool (random) internet picture]

Looks like a VW Polo to me. 1980's spec..
