Deepest water for a stock soobie
Numbchux replied to Beavis's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I too have had water up over the hood, but went to fast, and the stock "cold air intake" sucked muddy water up into the carb, so I took it off, if you've got a carbed EA82 you could do the same, but I'm not sure what to do with the airbox on an FI model I attached a snap of my "modified" intake -
put the FI motor/4wd drivetrain in the best body of the two!!! if the bod on the 4wd car is rusted out (like mine) put it under the fwd car, if they're similar, I bet the motor swap would be slightly easier than drivetrain swap (less fabrication) here's a link to morgan's rightup about his 2 to 4wd conversion http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/article.php?a=16

New guy with Tranny trouble
Numbchux replied to CalgarySoob's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Second!!! I bet you've got 1) a broken axle, or 2) stripped splines or 3) a F@%$ed up tranny in that order -

The innocuous RX (picture)
Numbchux replied to gravelRX's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
put the centercaps on, and paint the sidemolding to match the wheels (both black would be HOT, in a subtle way of course) and then it'll be a very nice sleeper. -

Minnesota Holiday Meet & Greet

I don't know if martin/dynapar (from mnsubie) will be there, but chances are, if he shows, it'll be last minute. So Freddie/Austin, you'll probably be better off heading straight out there whenever you want, and watch for a little green impreza. The rest of our group that came last time will be in steamboat. -
Anyone near Steamboat?
Numbchux replied to Numbchux's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
probably not that far, we'll see, and no, my wagon is not quite up to that kind of trip, mostly because of it's extreme lack of top end, due to it's "little" exhaust "leak," and a bit of damage done this evening let's just say my driver door doesn't open from the outside anymore -
Overflow parking lot @ spirit mountain: I need a lift

Well, looks like I'll be in steamboat (sorry, 6+ days of skiing still beats out a few hours in my subaru), so I'll be out, though dynapar from the MNSubie boards will be in town, and probably not doing anything, I'll try to get him to come. sorry to miss it! -

He's going to steamboat! -
Ok, It's a long shot, but I thought I'd try anyway. I got an offer to join a bunch of friends on a road trip to Steamboat Springs, CO, but not an offer to stay in the condo with them (grumble grumble) sooooooo, does anyone live in, or near steamboat, and want to let a fellow subie addict stay w/them for a few days? The trip would be for the 30th - 7th, but I think I found a cheap place that has room for the 1st/2nd-7th, so it'd probably only be for a couple days. PULEEEEAAAAASE!!!!

another bump! I got an offer on a week-long road trip to steamboat!!! If I can find cheap lodging (HA), so I may, or may not be in. (JeepGuy is definately out, [grumble] bastard[/grumble]) -
right after my lift is in!!!

True Dat! Anything I need a repair manual for, I'm NOT doing anywhere other than my garage, I'll call AAA (thank you grands!) before I do any serious repairs.

An old one I dug up, the terrain wasn't very impressive, but it's a good shot of the car (when it was clean), with some neat scenery
-
I'm using one of those now, but it sucks putting it on and off outside, in 6+ inches of snow! I want something i can leave on, and we already have one, and I can put it on in my parents (soon-to-be) heated garage! anyway, I didn't try this morning, took 2 hours to get new tires, then changed the oil, and tried to fix my exhaust "leak" so I could drive the 3 hours up here to duluth for finals, needless to say, I was unsuccessful, and my ears are ringing, bigtime!

nice, I'm particularly lovin' the subaru light covers! where'd you come across those?

new to me 86 Brat... pics added
Numbchux replied to mcbrat's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
wanna give me one?! you'd be my bestest of friends for ever!! I wish I could find a brat, that I could afford, of course, then the lift would have to wait another year -
BAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA, that's awesome, I may try just that! seriously though, thanks Shawn, I may try to do it tomorrow

well I went to a JY this morning, and found a Gl-10 Turbowagon!!! but it was FWD then I thought i'd just get a new drum (it's a cheap yard, what the heck) so we found another GL, and broke a needlenose trying to get one cotter pin out (it won, other side!) and broke a 1/2" drive craftsman ratchet on the nut on the other side, needless to say, I didn't get a drum, and we stopped at sears on the way home (yea craftsman!), but I'm glad this was posted, now I'm like 98% sure what's wrong with my car now! yay
-
So my dad says he has a subaru block heater he bought for the Loyale but never put in, since they are the same block he said I could have it for the GL, BUT he says, remembering from the same job on my mom's legacy, that taking the plug out to put the heater in, you drain all the coolant/antifreeze out, and that it is a PITA to get it all back in. Any more info/tips/tricks on this? he says you get air in funny places and it's very hard to get out, and my haynes and chiltons manuals are very vague on that. Any help would be much appreciated since it's getting EXTREMELY cold here (20 below this morning!). Thanks!
-
mine does this too, and my cotter pin was missing when I bought the car, the nut was loose, but mildly rusted (it wasn't coming out) tightening it didn't help, and I cannot reproduce the sound when jacked up, I'm hoping the rear disc swap this weekend *crosses fingers* will solve the problem. i.e. hub/spline problem, otherwise, I bet bearings.
