What would it take?
beauregaardhooligan replied to cd45's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
A carbbed soob would need to be re-jetted, at least. Also you'd probably need to change all your fuel lines, and probably gaskets too. Most any vehicle will run on alcohol, but getting them started is the hard part. Some people have used a dual-fuel set-up where it starts on gas and then switches over once it warms up enough to run a straight alky. Distilling alcohol is not illegal depending on how much you make, just selling it is where you get into trouble. -
Digi Dash Questions
beauregaardhooligan replied to Bucky92's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hey now, msteel! {threadjack} Nah, the guy in Atlanta backed out. I think his wife pitched a fit about it. A guy from Tennessee had said he was gonna come get it, but then decided he didn't want to pull it over the mtns with his vehicle. He might still want it, but I haven't heard back from him. I need to do something with it soon! Interested? Send me a PM. {threadunjack} -
Didn't someone take 4 of those fake spares and use them like duallies? Just bolt the other one inside out on top of the 1st one.

Digi Dash Questions
beauregaardhooligan replied to Bucky92's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
PLEASE let me know if these can be fixed! I have 2 that need fixed, {I think a 3rd went to NorthWet} and are pretty much all that's keeping FERTHER off the road. -
EA81 and EA82 Trans Swap
beauregaardhooligan replied to Scooter3's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I can't see how buying a two piece drive shaft would be any cheaper once you include the cost of a carrier bearing and bracket. You'd have to drill some holes or weld it to mount it also. It also seems to me that a carrier bearing would get hung up more trying to slide over rocks/logs/etc. I know my solid driveshaft sits well up inside the tunnel. It's clearance was never an issue. -
175 or 18\13 tires for subaru loyale?
beauregaardhooligan replied to moshem74's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Any 13" tire will fit on any 13" rim. It may look silly or not fit on the car, but it'll go on the rim. -
Aren't turbo difs a different ratio from a N/A dif?

Brake pedal pulsates?
beauregaardhooligan replied to Ritch's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I know our company f150 had new rotors put on and within a couple of weeks they started pulsing. They replaced them again, two weeks later, same thing. Then the shop turned the 2nd set of new rotors. Again, the pulse came back in a couple of weeks. Turns out the supplier had a bad batch. 3rd set finally worked. -
What color should wagon wheels be?
beauregaardhooligan replied to blownbimer's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I like the way my '84 wagon looks with black wheels and tan/gold body. Black doesn't show the brake dust either. I've always wanted to see one done up like a JohnDeere though. Bright green body with school-bus yellow wheels and bumpers! Nothing runs like a Subaru! -
New engine istall. Any suggestions?

Flush the heater core? -
Heater Not Hot!
beauregaardhooligan replied to xGuedox's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Don't apply too much air/water pressure, either. Heater cores aren't as strong as radiators. -
Thumping sound

The DOJs can do funny things also. -

Nah. The way I drive I need 4 wheels under me! lol -
Rotor HUB '83 GL 4xwgn
beauregaardhooligan replied to EA6BMECH's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Howdy, neighbor! You'll probably have to go to a boneyard for that. I hear there is a good one north of Asheville in Weaverville I think. -
My folks had one of those diesel rabbits, slow but ran forever. I sold it for $300 with over 300k and it still ran perfect. Think I had it up to 85 once on the freeway coming down a hill. I still see the little Isuzu deisel cars running around, 70s model I think. Don't recall the name, but IIRC they were a front mount in-line 4 cyl rwd. Wonder if one of those would fit under a Suby hood?

Car suddenly running poorly
beauregaardhooligan replied to jxavierf's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The charcoal canister is black and behind the driver's side headlights. The accelerator pump is inside the carb. First, though, I'd try spraying carb cleaner directly into the vent tubes of the carb while it's running. Take off the air cleaner lid and look down the throat/venturi. You'll see the vent tubes going on an angle into the float bowl. You'll have to keep the rpms up while doing this. -
tranny additives

Riselone? I've heard of it, some swear by it. -
LED Replacement lights.
beauregaardhooligan replied to BlindSight's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
It seems to me that if the replacement bulbs are installed under the stock lenses, the reflectors would still work, as long as they are bright enough. The HyperLED ebay site says that there are six of the bulbs mounted radially to shine to the side. I didn't see anything about a DOT rating, though. Sounds like a good thing if they fit in the socket. I'm thinking the head may be too big for some applications. subeman90, what kind of bulb went in the blazer? How many LEDs per bulb? -
LED Replacement lights.
beauregaardhooligan replied to BlindSight's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
LEDs are plenty bright. Just about all the frieght trucks on the road have them now. They are being put in traffic lights now also. They use less power, run cooler, and last 10x as long. I *did* try some of the apc? replacement bulbs when they 1st came out, though, and they were definitely not bright enough. I checked the package and they weren't DOT approved. -
another blown hg
beauregaardhooligan replied to 4x4moose's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Yeah, just order a new one. You can get them for about a hunnert bucks. Your Subaru will love you for it. Flush the block and heater core before you put your new clean radiator in. -
