The Dude Abides

i had that problem on my 88 dl with the quad headlight setup. I came to findout that i had the original lights from the factory. I replaced them with sylvania silverstars. They are bright white lights not blue. Those are buy far the only headlights i will ever use. You dont need to convert anything over. Its strictly a plug and play system. I can see 10 times better then i originally could. On top of that i replaced them in my minivan after one of the factory ones burnt out. They are much brighter then any factory light other then the expensive car lights. HID I believe Ben

tom you are a post whore do you know this:grin: seriously though you need to get some new shoes for your ride bad. I dont know if your planning to go up or down (i think you said up) if so just do the 6 lug dill thing with some nissan rims. I think it was nissan Ben

it may be hard but let her go. like connie said. sometimes its just time to say goodbye. you can find plenty of subarus needing heart transplants. keep an eye out take whats good and move her on. Ben

c connie now you can apreciate the fact that you wont half to worry about having reliable transportation to and fro work every day. You can just do that not worry about it and wrench on the others in your spare time. Ben

so i take it the imprezna is going to be sent to my house:grin:

do you think bucky is crying because another younger white wagon has taken its place seriously though congrats that dam payment is just alittle more then im payin for my van which buy the way has that dam funky transmission. stupid chrysler product should be shot. anyways congrats. Ben

those of us without extreme lifted rigs shouldnt have any problem since im not putting any articular stress on them. Just drive to work Ben

yep definately want one with a wagon. have ur buddy get permission for someother persons pictures on here and use that image for a wagon Ben

what was the part number that you ended up ordering on 1988 mt 5speed 4x4 f/i

i helped a buddy install a washer and dryer in his new house a couple days ago. he asked me if i would take the boxes for him. i never compacted the boxes and put them in the back. sure enough with the hatch open a bit i fit them both in. Im sure i could of fit them in with the appliances as well but it would of been a pain to get them in and out. so 2 washer and dryer boxes for me. Ben

no mine is 4wd but there are 3 problems in order of greatest to least 1. Money. On top of cv shaft i need to replace ball joints and while im at it i might as well replace the wheel bearings as well. She also needs braks but i think i can wait until next summer. 2. Time. Maybe you havent seen but i recently had twin daughters so i dont even have time to get out and have fun let alone tear apart a car. 3. Space. I live in an apartment so it cant be in pieces for to long, also its my only ride to work. 4. Lack of skills. Not really stopping me from trying it but none the less it is a problem. And with winter coming up it will make all of these even harder to come buy. Ben

I know that i need to replace my driverside front cv shaft because its clicking. but is it normal for this clicking to go away after 5 minutes of driveing. Since its getting colder i notice it more but only for the 1st 5 minutes then after that when i turn or go around corners its gone. Any ideas. Ben

umm yea i like your car. basically you did what i want to do Ben

you would assume correctly just one wheel at a time. the other one was fine no movement up down or side to side but the drivers side had the side to side movement. lifted it up and saw what i believe to be the lower ball joint on the hub moving around. the whole frontend needs to be checked out i hear alot of poping and slop when i drive. dont always have alot of time to do this and yes i know it is very important. i just keep off the highway for now until i get the money to replace many needed parts.

your in wisconson they invented snow. in feburary this year i was stranded near green bay because of a blizzard. we were stranded in a hotel with no electricity.

you sure you want to put a snowblade on a cherry brat like that. y not one of your legacys. Ben

bump for no particular reason

possibly this weekend i am getting ready to check into my blower motor to see what all the noise is about. would spraying electrical cleaner on teh connections be a bad thing. how do i go about cleaning and lubricating the blower motor Ben

i might get one if it were different colors and a wagon ben

and you sell me your ea82T

wouldnt you eliminate all backpressure if you just ran strait pipes through your hood. Ben

what are some good signs that you need to check over your pcv valve and vacume lines. Ben

that is hilarious hold my beer watch this those 2 phrases usually coenside with eachother. Ben

awww now the brats going on the backburner

thats what i usually do is gather parts up and do it all at once. i have tools and people to help me i guess its just finding the time and money for the parts. no point in buying used if i can get the gck axels from amazon and not half to worry about replaceing it again. but ive got lots of irons in the fire on that car. im thinkin im definately going to need front brakes buy at least next summer at max. im not talkin just pads but rotors as well. ive got my new tires on and they are awsome ive never been happy driveing that car. it was always just something i was to be careful in. but the tires on make it ride so much better and handle better. ill start gathering parts thanks for your help everybody:) y dont i have someone around here with a plathera of parts lots of time on his hands. can change out an axel in like 3o minutes or less hummmmmmmmm:grin:
