TheLoyale

Ah, it ended with the '86 EA82s, '87 did not have that option if I recall right.

Lol! Well. They junk cars that are 10 times cleaner then what I'm trying to save. Outstanding isn't it? I can't get over how many clean running Subarus they junk out west because it has a rust hole in the door about the size of a golf ball...

The great state of Washington, they seem to have everything....

Just don't nick the gas charged damper! Why Subaru stopped with the adjustable front struts is beyond me, the last model I know that had them was an '85 GL 4WD (EA82) They should have put them in the Loyale as well!!

When something like this is on Backorder, it means it is Discontinued. The same thing for the Fuel Tank. Might have to make my own adjustable perches! :-p

Obviously this one is not real, kinda reminds me of an Isuzu Piazza

I think the '78 Wagon will be the most hard to find Although, it would probably be the cheapest on the list!

Now here is a good question. For those of you who have bought and replaced the front struts on their GL with Adjustable spring perches, where do you find such a replacement? or are you stuck with a standard strut with no adjustments? I was thinking about this the other day as I'm looking to replace the rear dampers, and was thinking what I'm gonna do about the fronts...

Why not have two Cool Subies? Hell, I have 3 vehicles. No crime in that

From running Outback struts to Impreza Tokicos, not to mention any 5x100 wheel on the market, the 5-lug swap is worth it if you can come up with the Parts. THe XT6 hubs are kinda like gold to the Aussies since they never had the XT6 (Although they did get the Vortex) but in limited numbers.

Yeah, we got luck today! The sun came out about 5pm, the light shined down upon me, and I said "YES! YES! Jesus H Tap Dancing Christ, I am going to finish this rocker today!" I then did a backflip into the garage and grabbed my Auto darkening Welding Hemet and got cracking!

Dieseling or Engine run-on is a condition that can occur in spark plug, gasoline powered engines, whereby the engine keeps running for a short period after being turned off, due to fuel igniting without a spark. "Clark, why is it still running?" "Oh, honey, all new cars do that!" "Think you hate it now, wait till you drive it!" That solenoid eliminates this occurrence.

Some pics from today: Rocker I got from Washington after I cut out the section I needed: The Section I needed: Cut right below where the door seal seats, all the way down to the pinch weld at the bottom. Cut off old rocker. New rocker section welded in place, there will be no seam sealer used. I have welded a solid bead all the way along the cut line. Flush with the doors.

You can run Impreza struts and driveline then. The XT6 knuckles are what the EJs were based on and well worth it!

You are talking to a guy who drives a 10mpg Landcruiser. Fuel mileage is not one of my concerns

Now that you've said that, this reminds me of when I replaced mine some years ago. I remember I had a hard time finding the 110mm pump (That was then) so I went to the dealer and got the correct one. I honestly forgot about the 105mm and 110mm.

I had this idea a few weeks ago, and had pondered all of what I would need and then cost of having the stuff shipped ect. I can get a Sh*tachi rebuild kit for $70! So I'll probably pass at this time, I would just then swap on a 32/36 DGEV. I got the Thermostat and gasket from Subaru city today, along with new hoses and clamps. I can now re-install the new radiator and all the fixins'. I also welded in the Passenger side rocker today. It its great, flush with the door and looks sooo f*cking great! I still need to finish welding it in and then blend the welds so they won't be seen. I will take some pics after that. No more games, I need to get this done.

These are cool: Just make sure you always use lock-washers on the new Bolts if you go that route. http://www.roadraceengineering.com/parts/tial/46mm_hardware_kit.jpg

Instead of transferring studs into that spindle, I would just use bolts. Would be the same either way.

Yes, that is the correct pump. It is just upside down in that photo. That gasket will do just fine, I would apply some Blue/Black RTV to both sides of the gasket during install to help it even more, this is what I did 3 years ago, and no leaks. As for the studs, that is kinda odd. Mine had Studs. Check ebay maybe, might pay less as well. You might also want to replace the small hose that is on top of the Waterpump, they get over looked and cause leaking. You will need to remove the Alt bracket to get at it.

For others looking for a seal kit for their EA82 power steering rack, here: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=79592 As for re-building yours, I can't imagine needing any special tools. Its a Subaru. It should be fairly straight forward, I want to say I've seen someone rebuild one on here a while ago, but don't know what thread.

Ah, good looking out JesZek

Woah, this guy is a hard rump roast... I'm scared sh*tless.

Now I am debating on swapping, mainly just to remove un-needed stuff from the motor and to clean up the engine bay (I like clean and organized engine bays) Which is why I would also like to swap to a Weber 32/36 DGEV. I can eliminate a lot of the vacuum lines and the Emissions system lines/canister. Plus, I think my Hitachi needs a rebuild, but I can not find a such a kit. And are there no adjustment screws on the DCP306-21? I can not find anything else except the idle adjust screw.
