Been gathering dust for long time waiting for time and couple bucks but the Hatch is allmost back! Fired up last night and drove up to shop door on it own(RWD only) but is in and getting pass side all new factory strut/mount and bushings to match drive side rebuild front axels hopefully with propper boots and back on the highway!

I'm hopeing to do just that I got 4 local resturants to give me oil I just need to swap my truck for a diesel tow truck. It's a good truck but not for what I need it for. Hatch might have to go to. Sucks but such is life right.

http://www.performancehorsetrailers.com/conniew.html Ha found an outback pulling an ultralight and one horse.

Yeah I'm looking to sell and buy or trade my GMC for something better suited to towing a horse trailer up and down the mountain. The hatch ain't gonna cut it and nither is the 6" lift 35" tire shortbed GMC. Has to be some pics out there of someone pulling a horse behind a subbie tho

Ok let's hear horror tales and funny ones. Heaviest load pulled with a sobbie? I think they are the most versitile car on the planet but I wouldn't throw a horse behind one, but I bet someone has! Pics of your tow rig?

I will have to post pictures of the axle puller/installer that Supernova built it is a tru piece of art. Axle nut welded to a plate and a piece of plumbing pipe and a long threaded rod. It is really something ealse and functional as all heck.

There is a local MX guy has a one ton chevy van total rhino liner coverage looks killer. you can buy the spray kit and do it yourself and I 2nd that surface prep and prep work is 99% of the job

great footage! Also a good look at some pushbar design...

There is an alot of ea's being used in ultralight and experimental planes thoose guys love em so I'm guessing it's going to be a long time before we can't find parts for them. And yes worth it and yes I have one and it's a goodun' It's a Subaru Love thing

Anyone running both on a ea81 SPFI motor? post pics and sugestions?

Yeah I had to get it down the road, I have the rod stock just got to get it done during the week. As far as the coil and air cleaner we will have to refer to Supernova, it has been like that since I got my hands on it. Maybe I can con him into signing on and chimeing in on that.

I hit em with Jasco and wire brush first then run them over with some super clean and blast cabinet(commercial at buddys place) then do any metal work fix cracks coat of self etching primer before Omni sigle stage urethane color finish coat. I have some pics of most recent finished product. whole proccess can be done in a day but if your all set up 5 or 6 hours maybe. I wouldn't want to think about what I would have to charge to do it for someone ealse tho problly only worth it on your own soobie. It's a Subaru Love thing!

Just wanted to show off the wheels had to pull one and weld up a crack so decided to blast and spray all of em. Stuck with Subaru and got Java black. reset rear suspension so dropped everything out and rubber coated and bed liner sprayed all the parts. need to make some exhaust hangers bodywork and paint and interior includeing genuine Subaru 6 disc changer and premium sound(out of my 03 wrx). SPFI ea81 swap I helped supernova put together but I can't thank him enough for selling me the car. Will post more pics later on in build. http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m225/bgh831/hatch004.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m225/bgh831/hatch001.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m225/bgh831/hatch002.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m225/bgh831/hatch003.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m225/bgh831/hatch006.jpg

The big nut on end of main shaft requires a socket it has rounded corners that make it difficult. Take shaft to local dealer if they are A class like the guys at Subaru Santa cruz they will crack it loose for nothing then you just need a press.

Humm bit far. How about sf bay/ central California?

Where?

They hunt,Chace and Haul Hogs real nice too! But I seem to be haveing trouble with pictures. Maybe Supernova wants to post up a pic or two for me. Cause I resized and it's still a 900 KB file

Get the W'X and then go talk to the guys at Vishnu tuning. got a stage 0 03' and have been loving it for 114k miles just as fast as an STi but pulled the flags and kept the 16" wheels it's a sleeper. Love it, if it dies I'm going to fix it, if it wreks I'm getting another one next day.

How do you install the new front axels on a 86 GL 4x4 without the special tool noted in the factory service manual. anyone got a fix for my problem?

We have a couple other threads going about problems we encountered but have it all figured out and hopefully pass smog next week. let me know what you need and can go out and take pictures and send info as needed. Good Luck with your projects, it's worth it.

smoother run for sure going to get codes and chace them down tomorrow. thanks for all the help guys.

Not sure But he just went to unplug both and I'll get back to you after the test drive

So going to try here before I start a new thread. So I need Lymans version of pulling the codes and clearing codes on the 90' SPFI System. I have a green and white test connecters connected to themselves. The ECU Red Light is flashing 5 times same time and speed for each flash..........any help please?????
