Paul, you got any nice sheet metal for the front valance of a '75? Any fun accessories for that vintage? Wood shift knobs?
-
Nope, this guy was in eastern Oregon, IIRC. Will, WJM was from GA.

I've got three EA81T parts engines to rob for oil pumps if/when I need them. Although the turbo may have had a greater impact on their lives vs. a carb'd EA81 oil pump.
-
I have a parts catalog for EA81s and EA82s, if you know what you need a P/N for.

Convert to EJ with a hydro clutch!

Well the EA81T cable is already obsolete, but good call on the clutch cables...
-
Yeah, Skip, what happened to that guy?! I know one of the really active members with the Mega Squirted EA82T gen 1 BRAT passed away, can't remember his board name...
-
What should we start hording next, before it becomes obsolete?
-
I already have both of you guys as "saved sellers."

I ran into Richie at the last WCSS, I don't know how often he checks in, try looking him up. I would suggest calling his shop, but as I'm up in the Seattle area, I don't have the name committed to memory.

carfreak85 replied to carfreak85's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI bought a tube of the Dow Corning lube, do you use it on anything but the inside lip of the seals? Any thoughts on cleaning the cylinder heads/block after lapping?

carfreak85 replied to carfreak85's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI used a medium flat blade inserted into one of the Leslie tool's gouge marks in the seal and careful but firm prying in a few different parts of the seal. It finally creaked and started backing out of the block, no damage that I can tell. I have a PVC pipe coupler to install the new seal and I know I need to be concerned with the install depth. Any other tips? Assembly lube on the inside lip of the seal for sure, but should I install the seal with a dry outer surface? How do the cam seals compare to the crank seals? I've heard they're pretty easy to mess up...

carfreak85 replied to carfreak85's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXOk, any advice on this would be helpful: I'm having a devil of a time getting the rear main seal out. I read that you don't need to touch it unless it's leaking, but with 207k+ on this engine, I figured I might as well. After buying the Leslie tool and trying about 15 times, I'm basically just destroying the seal without actually getting it to move at all. Front main came out without issues, but it almost feels like the seal is glued/staked in place, but I don't see any adhesive residue. I haven't touched the cam seals yet, but the one I peeked at does have some reddish sealant (maybe Loctite seal glue?) around the outside seal surface. Any tips for getting the rear main seal out? Buy a second Leslie tool and use both at the same time 180* apart? Light the whole thing on fire and pray to the gods of Fuji? Halp!

Kiddo, I know exactly what the Gambler is. Were I building a car for it, it still would not have a pod filter poking out the center of the hood. Personal preference, just like your butthole reference, I suppose. I build my vehicles based on sound design and engineering practices and I err towards a sleeper/Q-ship style build vs. building a "Pep Boys Clearance Section Special Edition" Vape-Mobile. Whatever. Build it your way, I'm not paying for it. The forester looks nice, my wife would be jealous. Have fun with your Loyale build.
-
It really doesn't matter to me how many "likes" a car has or how many people have photos of it on their phones. Intakes through the middle of the hood are an automatic boner-killer... Kudos to you for starting with a junker, a great looking one at that. Thank you for leaving the nice ones for the enthusiasts.

I know Richie has at least one down in PDX, maybe two?

carfreak85 replied to carfreak85's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI'm just afraid to screw something up without reading the actual procedure. I was hoping someone with a bit more access would have the procedure. Lets hope I still have some junk cylinder heads sitting around that I can experiment on.

Any of the tires you mention will most likely fit on a factory stock vehicle. Lowering may cause issues with fender clearance. I've run the 185/70/13 and 205/60/13 and neither rub, stock height, or lowered on my EA81.

carfreak85 replied to wavekayaker's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX@GeneralDisorder Would that be the "Classic" or "Improved" blend?

carfreak85 replied to carfreak85's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDoes anyone have the End Wrench article or Subaru TIB/TSB that outlines the HG procedure? Just want to make sure I'm not missing any steps... @GeneralDisorder@idosubaru@Gloyale
