When does a Subaru stop being a Subaru?
carfreak85 replied to RallyJusty's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Justy-esque, thats what I would call it. -
Thank you, now I can go look for some. Are they the same impedence as stock? On another note, Will, I appriciate all that you've done for the old school crew and hope that you will continue to blaze the trail to a HO, reliable old school engine. But when you make a game out of telling us what you've done to your car EVERY SINGLE TIME, it can rile people up as we've seen (two pages worth). Please don't take this the wrong way, I follow everything you do to your car and save all the dyno charts, etc, but when it takes until page three before anyone knows what your talking about, thats not nice, its just cruel! Again, keep up the good work!

reproduction shift boot for 80-84 2wd 5 speed
carfreak85 replied to mcbrat's topic in Products for your Subaru
Well, I have been searching and saving all the rings I can find, and I think I have about 8 rings. What kind of a deal can we work out? -
If it fits an EA82T, it will fit an EA81T.

Did ea81t ever come without A/C??
carfreak85 replied to Ross's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Never seems to bother my car that it has a 2WD alternator on it. -
Why do *YOU* prefer old gens?
carfreak85 replied to Syonyk's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I love anything subaru. Old, new, it doesn't really matter. I can't afford an STI, but if I could, that is what I would drive. The old ones are what I can afford, so thats what I drive. Plus they are so freakin easy to work on! -

Yes, like in the last post, they were avalible without AC, but since they were the top of the line model, I think most of them came loaded to the gills with options. Superrallyroo's old T wagon didn't have AC or power steering so you might ask him if he has any pics of his old setup. -
Toasted CV = toasted bearings?
carfreak85 replied to FlyB0y's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Doesn't sound normal, but I couldn't explain it. -
What kind of injectors are you using now?
-
I wouldn't use the stock head unit period. It puts out about 4 watts total power. A basic cd player is inexpensive and you will notice a difference.

Would it hurt to tell the rest of us?

New Dyno numbers for the RX...real ones this time.
carfreak85 replied to WJM's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hp=(torque x rpm)/5252 They have to otherwise they are misleading numbers. -
Send Wagonpowaa a PM to get his attention. He's not on very often these days, but he has a system in his brat. Nice head unit, 4x6 in the dash, 6x9s behind the seats with ford speakers in the bed and an amp powering it all.

Retrofitting stiffer struts to EA81
carfreak85 replied to carfreak85's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Well, I know you can still get EA81 2WD GR2s, but I was thinking more along the lines of Koni Yellows or Bilstiens... Anyone using strut cartrages? Custom valves stock shocks? -
Why a rear factory LSD will not work in the front...
carfreak85 replied to WJM's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Ok, so what manufacturer makes an LSD for the front of an EA82 transmission? -
Phantom LSD for 4spd d/r?
carfreak85 replied to Jerry DeMoss's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
My question is what kind of driving did that guy have to do to exert hat much force all the time? I would be willing to bet lots of burnouts and racing did that, not offroading or plain old daily driving. -
Send your stock heads out to get them ported, thats about the best you can do.

Still haven't heard back from Clutchnet yet...

The answer to this one is easy. I can't afford an EJ! HAHAHA

New Turbowagon...needs help
carfreak85 replied to blownbimer's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The thermostat might not be opening, so try replacing that and giving the cooling system a good back flush. Did you try adjusting the dash pot and checking the other inputs for the FI system? -
In a few months I'll be going RWD, so we'll see how the 5spd DR holds up in an EA81T.
