EA82 Doesn't need any coolant?!?
That's why they take so long to warm up. Rex

coolant type and my '86 brat
At your location you would want to do a 50/50 mix. Just make sure you use distilled water. Rex

Loyal runs bad above 2000 rpm
Try another distributor. Check for any play in the distributor shaft. Other than that it could be something with the fuel system. Filter maybe. Rex

85T-REX replied to Rooster2's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDo you think that would fix "not wanting to go into or out of first gear until it's warmed up"? Rex

AC makes temp go up
Where does your gauge read when it's "normal"? My gauge reads 3/4 at normal. When I use the AC it goes up to the red which is actually 195 degrees which is normal while the AC is running. My gauge is off and yours may be as well. Take a meat style thermometer and tuck it in along the rad against the upper hose on the pass side and see what it says.

My RX is dead. crappy pics inside (lots of fire)
Such a shame, man! Sorry for your loss!! I just had the leaky injectors replaced on the passenger side of mine last week. They lasted 322,000 miles. It was a good catch by the dealership. REX

A/C problem
It's probably time to replace the drier. I had the same problem with my RX last year. Don't run it until you do because you might pop a line. I did.

Documented: The 1970 FF-1 Project car...
Right, no big deal. You should check it yourself before you run it and again after it's broken in. Maybe it'll be closer after you break it in. It's been great watching your progress!!

Documented: The 1970 FF-1 Project car...
One bar is 15psi so it looks like cylinders 1, 2, and 3 are 49psi and cylinder 4 is 48psi. It looks like the scale is actually reading 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and so on without the dots. Have you checked with your own tester yet?

rallye, race pictures
I've done that with mine a few times. Once was over a dead deer in the road!

this shows how safe our subarus are...
85T-REX replied to njdrsubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMost of the damage is on the passenger side because he wasn't directly behind the truck in front of him. He was slightly to the left as if he was looking past the truck. Camera angles go for the most dramatic shot. I like the wheels!!

HIGH beams wont stay on????
Pulling the lever will flash the high beams. If you push it toward the dash, it should stay in high beam.

Cleaning calcium deposits from cooling sys.
Clean out what you can and fill the system with antifreeze and Distilled Water. Flush it in about 3-5k miles and fill it like that again. The distilled water will work on cleaning the deposits. I've never gotten scale or deposits with distilled water. It helps your hoses, rad, and heater core last much longer as well.

EA82 shaking at idle
Check compression. It may be a cracked head with a sunk valve.

How to blow up a Justy:
If it's a manual, it might be a perfect candidate to go electric.

gnarly low-speed vibration
It does sound like a bad rear shaft joint. It's better to check with the wheels off the ground though so it isn't bound in any way.
-
damn cargo covers.which is which?
I think the most noticable difference between the two is the ea81 has a hand-hole in the center of the pull flap and the ea82 doesn't.

ACK! Revenge of the trunk water
Do you have a spoiler on your hatch lid? If so, it's probably leaking there.
