holy spoob!

Im glad this place is still around, I've always loved it... Seeing all those screen shots made my day! I remember when SUBARU meant slow clackey little econo car. Its so funny how nowadays Subaru means WRX and haulin rump roast! I also remember when I was appauled that ShawnW added a vanagon section, now years later I'm onto a similar path, kinda =]
Too bad we cant get a flat 4 diesel over here...
Are any of the old subaru offroad videos on youtube or out there anywhere? Subarubicon? Old USMB repair manual?
Keep up the good work guys, and Thanks.

I drove an xt6 with blown air shocks, sitting solely on the bump stops(till they broke off) for 6 hundred miles, most of that from milwaukee to minneapolis, my kidneys are still pissed at me.
the only way to have a lowered old timey subaru is to stuff modern ej stuff under it and go high performance style. bump stops are so Honda...
-
Awesome hatch! I never ran a front swaybar, even at high highway speeds.
-
um... its not a VW, lift the damn thing! I couldnt imagine how bad a lowered 80s subaru would ride, not to mention all the rust would get knocked off!
-
-
wasnt that the only good part of the svx anyway? ej adapter plate against the dr 5speed... take out the front axles and drift that wagon dood. =]
-
-
i wouldnt waste a dime on an ea82, especially when an adapter plate is cheap and you can run a modern ej. OH... and a stock non vtec honda will beat your rump roast.
SWAP SWAP SWAP!

I would put the motor in my wagon if i was you.
-
oh ya, sport compact drag racing at rock falls raceway in wisconsin on the 23rd! you guys should go!
-
sorry to hijack, but hey Miles and Numbchux! I just got a brand new 2000 outback! its got some problems, so Ill be around till I get em sorted
-
a 6 cylinder in an ea? weird... :-\
-
that things still around?!
-
thats awesome mcbrat! i realy like how the new sub frame is welded to the unibody, instead of just bolted, should make for easier opening and closing doors while offroading =]
i like it alot

dig that crazy search function
napa part number 2p74028
i've been running one of these since 2004 with no problems.
-
i'll second the F150 pump, its from a truck that had two pumps, one low pressure in the tank and a high pressure further up. i've had it work on ea82mpfi, ea82 spfi, er27, and ej s. napa will sell about 10 different ones with the same specs, some are 250, theres one thats still 45 bucks, i cant find the number, but make that parts guy work!
-
ok GD i guess you always did know better. i can still get parts for my 1930 model A so i think my 80s subaru will be ok for a while.
your right it took me almost 30 seconds to find these! gettin tough!
-
i've had em all and im back to my ea81 again. they work reel good. the parts will be around forever.
-
they are too tough. i lost a water pump in my hatchback, it siezed right up. i took the belt off and at highway speeds 60-70mph it stayed about a 1/4 above the midway mark. and i was almost out of coolant, but not empty.
good stuff
-
the 4 speed is a great transmission once you have some horsepower in front of it.
-
By this you mean the "rev sensor" or "fuel pump control unit"? the black box with the Mitsubishi 3 diamonds and a 6 pole plug? Bolted above the hood release bracket? Those thing can cause mucho trouble.
A bit unsafe to bypass though. In a crash you're fuel pump would still be running.
yeah but your needle and seat would hold the pressure, and you have a return line, and a charcoal canister on the carb vent tube.

cut one out of a cereal box with a razor blade... works every time!
-
Yep - sounds like a t-belt. Check that the rotor screw didn't fall out of the disty too.
GD
this has happened to me twice, the little screw falls out and nothing at all. last time i used red lock tite, and a torque wrench, and it still fell out 7k miles later. id be hoping for that.

Wiring EFI has never been a "problem" for me,just a headache at times =], I decided years ago I would rather have a ball of wires than a jankey old worn out Hitachi
Mines a 1.9 TDI so cooling should be easier to tackle than the soob motor(diesels are more efficient so they should run cooler). I think radiator placement hinders alot of people. They all want it to look stock, but also want water cooling.
