  1. let me know if you ever want to sell your Yugo with the hot engine,l`ve always wanted to build one of those.
  2. check your distibutor cap very carefully for hairline cracks or carbon tracing on the inside
  3. a bad O2 sensor will cause this,l`ve seen it a million.Check the sensor wiring first though.Has anyone worked on your car lately?With any semi-modern electronic fuel injected car showing sudden excessive fuel consuption my first guess is faulty O2 sensor/circuit.A fuel leak could do it too and that should be easy to spot if you`re looking....good luck with it..
  4. yeah,that`s the ebay car from FT.Collins.l traded a Mercury XR2 turbo for it and some cash....XR2 needed a turbo
  5. yeah,l figured as much.lt`s cool to have anything WRX but in New Mexico there`s no emissoins testing so why would l want an exhaust with not one but TWO cats? l`ll use it or parts of it though if l can.Right now the exhaust stops after the down pipe.Sounds a little unfinished for me but it`s not too noisy.l can`t wait to start the modding on this relic,80`s japanese car technology was so cool and gimicky l love it.
  6. hey amigos,l`m new to the board so hi.l just bought an 88 GL-10 sedan and it came with some cool extras;WRX seats(already installed) WRX exhaust (not installed) Spearco water injection system (not installed).lt`s a really clean example with just over 100K on it.DNA boost controller installed and set to 14PSI and Autometer air/fuel guage shows it`s not leaning out on boost.Previous owner did something to richen it up but l haven`t investigated that yet.Does anyone have any experience with WRX exhaust on these cars?l don`t expect a direct bolt on but any info on what to expect would be appreciated.l`m planning to take this car down the usual upgrade path and any advice is welcomed.l`ve had many turbo cars from Porsche 911 `s (still have one) to my last project,a Mitsu GVR4 which l tweaked to within an iche of it`s life and the limit of my charge cards.l had to sell it because it was feeling faster then my 911...l don`t think the Subie will cause the same problem but what a cool car! l love the thing! We just moved to the mountains and this thing gets me there,that hight adjustment rocks! anyhow thanks in advance and it`s great to be part of a great forum.....rick
