The Scooby

ok i got my DFAV weber which im putting on my car tomarrow. i got the adapter i needed, just need to get suds and nuts to bolt the weber onto the adapter. oh and i only paid $33.60 for the adapter, rather then $48 since i work at Aaron's auto wrecking... another plus of this job. but my questions are: do i need to ad anoth throttle return spring other then the one on it? how do i hook up the stock EA82 throttle cable onto it? thats all i can think of right now. Thanks, Shean

good luck man, nice meetin you at aaron's. be carful and look out for your fellow man.

i need brakes anyway so i threw them on as is, also got in my rear sway bar today, so now i have front and rear swaybars, front is a 3dr turbo RX, rear is a 4dr RX turbo, the difference is night and day with just upgraded swaybars, i love it. also i cut the soft lines, it was just easier to use my stock soft lines down to the hard line that connects to the caliper. it was easier tog et out of the car that way. also got my RX side skirts painted and mounted, it rained today, but ill get pictures tomarrow and upload them. Later, Shean

$210 a month for libility for the 86 GL 5sp 4X4 wagon. thats because i had a revoked lisence and 5 tickets, 3 of which went on my record in under 2 years. Stupid me YAAAA... Shean

well... i got the drivers side swaped over with no problems, so now i just have to get that pin out of the drivers side CV, swap it around and im good. also ive been bleeding the carb brakes for like 30 minutes on the drivers side and finally got no bubbles to come out. passenger too like 10. Shean

ok, well i got home tonight from work and got started, and my problem is that i cant get the rear CV axle pin back in. i pulled the trailing arms, brake lines, etc in about 40 minutes, didn't know what i was doing. got the new one in in about a half hour, again had to fight it. now i cant get the pin that goes through the CV and the output shaft on the diff to go all the way in. i just have to get it in, then bleed the brakes on the drivers side, then start to attack the passenger side and do that side tomarrow, then hit the front and get the new pads/rotors on the front tomarrow also. Thanks, Shean

well not lowered YET, i will hopfully be getting my stuff to lower it in the comming weeks since i work at Aaron's, but so far im running pug 15" alloy's with 205/55/15 BFG Traction T/a's, RX front sway bar, XT6 rear swaybar, RX rear trailing arms w/ disk brakes. the sway bars and lower trailing arms/brakes are getting put on tonight.

yep... ^new RX front sway bar ^ new rear disk stuff, and lower trailing arms so i can have a rear sway bar. just have to get the arms striped, painted, paint the calipers, swaybars, and bunch of other stuff.

well today i called in to Aaron's and told them to not pull that RX tranny for me, and instead i want the rear suspension. so i get in today, and after work i was able to stay after and pull the rear trailing arms with the RX rear swaybar, disk brakes, and axle's. ended up i traded my turbo, turbo heads and piping for XT6 front/rear sway bars, RX rear trailing arms w/disk brakes. then i am trading my extra 5sp d/r tranny for the ground FX off the car, i pulled all of them tonight except for the front air dam, gonna get that monday. get pictures of install and everything else later. again, just one more reason why everyone will probally hate me. since i paid $50 for that turbo stuff and got the 5sp d/r tranny for free, and im trading it for the skirt kit, and all that other stuff.

i would say to just run a optima red top battery and a GM alt, get a 90 amp alt or get the 105amp conversion. ive done the GM 90 conversion when i had a 800w stereo system, and had no more problems. do a search on it. Shean

the rails are the same as the impreza's, you can swap anything from i think it was 90-2000 into any other car, the other shawn put the wrx seats into his car and i got his old ones. all you do is redrill the back hole, then put in a nut and bolt. ill try to get pictures for everyone today when i do the passenger seat.

hell, i work at aaron's subaru bone yard, ill see what i can pull for ya, maybe like $10 for the advance canister plus shipping form me to you.

im going to say a real truck front and rear diff, with a T-case... maybe out of a toyota, or other mini older truck??? am i close??

man, i just got back from taking a cruse down Alki, which is a cruse place here in seattle, well let me tell you, the seats i have are SOOOOOOO much better then any other seat i have sat in and driven a car hard, excluding the new RECARO's. all i did to mount them was get the stock seat brackets, take off the impreza's, use the EA82 screws on the front of the bracket, closest to your feet, then slide the brackets forward like you would be moving your seat backwards. then redrill the rear holes, put in a bolt and nut, bolt them into your car, and enjoy. please ignore the mess, i was about to clean it, that was from about the last 2 months of working every day. Later, Shean

yep, they are using the SPFI bottom end, so im gonna trade shortblocks with them, carb for spfi, and then port/polish my carb heads, put on the SPFI cams, then port the intake and put on a weber and ill be done with the motor. also i got a set of free impreza seats today from the other shawn. he ended up buying the WRX seats so he gave me his old seats, i had the stock EA82 bracks modified and had the driver seat in in about 1 hour. i would put in the passenger but i need to grab 3 bolts that holds the back support to the bottom from work tomarrow, then ill put it in tomarrow night. ill upload the pictures of the seat, my new grill, and other stuff later. Shean

ok well today at work i made another score. got a catless Y-pipe for free, forester black shift knob for free. but here comes the questions, how to i retrofit XT6, or any other sway bar onto the rear of the car when my car didn't have one from factory. also i was talking to my superior Lenny who said its gettin hard to come by a good EA82 Carbed mtoro, i told him i got one, he said that they just use a newer motor's bottom end with the eads/cams and such no difference just people say it has more power then the EA82, so its now looking like i am going to build a new motor for the car, with a weber, custom exhaust, etc. and then the RX FT4WD tranny. So can anyone help with my questions? Thanks, Shean

ive got a 5sp dual range tranny i might be selling soon, since i am hopefully getting a RX full time 4wd tranny to put in, and if you would like i can deliver the tranny for a small fee, like $15 to $20 depending on distance from me to you.

well aarons is more of a parts house, if they dont have it on the shelves we check cars out back, and if not there i think we will try to find it for you. but im comming to relise that i think they are well over priced on some things.

pugs where removed for highschool drags, they are going back on soon here as soon as i get the time off work. and when i got the car it was like that, so thats why i am gettin the one off that RX at my work.

what do you mean, purchacing cars from them? i dunno, i was thinking of gettin the RX for myself to cruse in.

sorry... this is the ONLY RX they have, and the whole car is rebuildable, frame is strait, it looke like the BARLY got T-boned, just needs a passenger fender/door and you would be good. but im gettin this engine and rear diff, but guess what, they want $300 for the 3.7 LSD so if he wont trade, its yours if you can get the scrill.

actually they got quite a bit of gen I parts, they have a good shape 79 brat in the back, black in color. but there is a vew CHERRY blue 83 turbo wagon there, everything is there, except the tranny.

well i get there today, aaron's that is, well i walk acrost the street and start cleaning up the parts lying around the cars and junk. well it ends up i find this in the corner... a white RX full time 4wd. i talked with my boss and he is making a trade for the FT4wd tranny/3.7LSD diff for my open 3.90diff/5sp d/r tranny. then i am also going to buy some nice WRX seats he has, and the RX groundFX. so after i get this i have to get my motor some more power, then get my lowering coilovers, and tint the windows then i will be good.

call up Brian's Subaru, 206-242-0835 tell them Shean, pronounced Shawn,sent you, tell them yuor problems and they should be able to help you out in tracking it down. to me it sounds like the front trans seal went and is leaking the tranny lube. Good luck, Shean

Well i was at B&B auto parts in burien the other day getting the parts i needed to fix my girlfriends overheadting integra when i spotted these driving lights for $5.99. they are 55w each, and are TINY, i tossed them on today and am very impressed with the light output of these little buggers, it easily dubbled my light so i can see. ^ from those 100w's to these... ^ i think these look better and are street legal compared to 100's Shean
