NASIOC will be your friend in this case. A quick google search with "NASIOC" in the search field will pull up all the threads you could need. -
Doubtful. Seems like there was a disconnect at Subaru back in the day regarding line-installed options vs. dealer-installed options.

Bubbling in coolant reservoir
carfreak85 replied to MTNjohnny's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I think that was only for the EA81s and EJs. From what I remember cracks between valves on EA82s (especially the turbos) was a death sentence. @GeneralDisorder any thoughts on that? -
Bump.

I've got a complete set of DL lamp assemblies for sale. The driver's side corner lamp does have some cracks, but looks complete. I'd be willing to sell you the entire setup, but I'm not really interested in splitting parts from the set.

Thanks! Like any old car it's an ongoing project and I've got some pretty major updates to make in the next few months (once I'm done updating my shop). Your 3-door is so much cleaner than mine it's almost not fair! I think I blew the center diff last summer so the car has basically been sitting since June 2019. While I was diagnosing the drivetrain I pulled the BCs and installed the Ohlins, but had to have a few parts custom machined to get the fitment I wanted with the 05-09 Legacy coilovers. The Ohlins don't have adjustable lower mounts like the BCs did, so I won't be able to go as low, but my plan for the car has always been about outright speed so pavement-scraping ride height was never on the table. You can keep up to date on my progress and take a look at the custom coilover parts on my IG @templeoffuji

I love that there is another member still trying to go fast in a vintage Subaru! We parked beside one another at the Old School Reunion several years ago, I have the maroon EJ-swapped 3-door, had gold outback wheels at that show. I would be interested to see how those BCs hold up on track, I pulled the ones that came on my 3-door and replaced them with Ohlins off an 05-09 Legacy.

Have these been pressure tested? Looks like there is a crack in one of the chambers.
-
They were a marketing tool for the BRAT when it was launched. Could win one in a raffle and eventually I think you could buy them.
-
Not anymore. It's a sordid tale...
-
I recently had the wheels sand blasted and powder coated, installed new innertubes and sawtooth tires, but one of the tubes has a pinhole leak. Follow along on Instagram @templeoffuji.

Is subaruxt.com gone?

Any updates on this saga? -
Those were the scenarios I was running through my head. Not too keen on regreasing, but pressing a new bearing on would be amenable. Yeah, if you've got part numbers that would be great!

What brand and part number of tensioners do you folks prefer now that the supply of OEM tensioners has dried up? @GeneralDisorder
-
Recommending your least favorite late-model Subaru, eh?
-
Report that seller to eBay!
-
I'll buy it if you decide not to use it.
-
Do you still have the dealership installation instructions?
-
Both sensors are still available new from Subaru, for now.

How Many Members of USMB?
carfreak85 replied to Subarule's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
I dabble in all the current, living social platforms. Mostly so I don't miss any rare parts or cars for sale. You'll get faster and more varied replies on FB, but it's nearly impossible to do a longform post or build thread there. -
What are your plans for radiator fans? Are you going to use the BRZ OEM fans?
-
Bump.
-
It's in the owner's manual. I think EA81 2WD tanks are 14.5 gallons and 4WD are 12.5, or something like that. hatchback tanks may be smaller still.

@FerGloyale Do you have photos of the modification?
