OK so its not really my project or Soob it my boy's project. How to turn two cars into one good one. Mike

bookmarked.. I may need to attempt this. Reason 1 Hard start. 2 dieseling especially after having been driven long distances or just flat out driven hard. Mike

Thats a possibility, but the switch that was in there worked until I put the engine back in. I did make sure that when I ordered it that it was for a guage not the light but that doesn't mean I didnt get the wrong part anyway.

OK so the wire in my hand is yellow even though it doesnt look like it. I obviously screwed it up so where does it go?.. OPS is plugged in and no worky. BTW this is from an 86 hatch. The following pics are of more wires in general viscinity and thought maybe one of them may belong to my problem. Mike

That pretty much sums it up. The gauge works check by grounding it went to the top. The switch that was in there worked before pulling the motor for headgaskets and no worky after.. I bought a new one thinking I probably bounced it against something to kill it but I have nothing reading on the new one either. And before anyone asks yes it is for a gauge not an idiot light. Mike

I get dibs on the first ride after your girlfriend and the boys of course!

Rob its not really a race.. The clock starts when you start the project. Russ is dreaming big I will give him that, but just doing a little at a time instead of all at once he would have been driving this car a few years ago. Then it would have beena series of small projects and not ginormous one. Hurry up Russ! Mykey

WTH?:lol:

I dont have a build date but, My 83 Brat has vented.. I ordered new rotors once and got non vented and the brakes didn't work right.. It took me over a month to figure it out, and it was my daily driver. Mike

Check the battery, body and engine grounds make sure they are good as well as tight. Are you running the batteries in parallel or did you use a isolator? I think for radio feedback with an isolator you should run another body ground.. I am just taking a stab at this since I never had feedback unless I ran power wire too close to speaker wires and patch cables. Mike

Very cool and inspiring. Mike

Does anyone know the part number# 86 EA81 hatch Thanks Mike

No thats Drafts! Mike

Welcome to the board! Mike

^^^^^ Agreed

Oh no it aint your turn yet there will be 3 more people that need help and you will be all over it!. And you will do it just so you dont have to get back to the RX. BTW I still laugh when I think about this comment "Boosted Squirrels:D" --->Turbone

It isnt quite the same thing but since you made it work... very cool. My headlights aren't any brighter at idle and I found that I should turn the stereo down as well or would drop below 12V. Now anything over 1200 RPM and OH Yeah ! lights are bright and the stereo is turned back up. And for the update since I sinstalled my Alt 5-6 years ago. No problems! It is very big and I think my pulley is off by just a little. My belt now needs to replaced.. Though the car has sat for a bit over a year waiting for my lazy arse to replace a headgasket. (Finally running!) Mike

We won't as long as you get lots of pics and post some up we like our pics, b4... in progress ...and after shots would help. Good luck Mike

How much are these gonna drop the hatch when fully extended and how low can you go?

one way or another it will run but with which powerplant?

don't bother with the car audio stuff. It is the same only more expensive so just get a realy and use the ignition power for the trigger. Mykey the stereo nut

Feel free I didnt take them to horde:grin:

I am not about to post all these so here is the link to pics my boy and I took. http://s781.photobucket.com/albums/yy99/mykeystoy/WCSS11/?albumview=grid Mykey

Maybe we should contact them about supporting our subaru habits:lol:

EA 81 or 2?.. The 81s should be the same unless it has power windows. I really dont know for 82s.
