  1. I bet it is different, as all (?) '84s where EA81s, whereas this is an EA82
  2. Is that the one that was on Ebay last week? If so, we've been drooling at it for a while, and if it's not, we're drooling over it now!
  3. on an '85 GL D/R 5-speed Carby, every trouble code listing I can find don't have a code 13 on it (for carby motors, some for FI but.........). My ECS light has been coming and going for months now, but the car has been sitting for a few weeks, and I drove it for a while today, and the light was on the whole time, so I checked the code when I got home, 13, and that's it. WTF is it trying to tell me?!?
  4. oh yea, if you haven't already, (everyone but MorganM and myself) join www.mnsubaru.com NOW!!! need more Old-skool representation!
  5. I posted this on the Minnesota Subaru Club site and got virtually ZERO response, I will be at my parents house in the western 'burbs of minneapolis this saturday, and am going mudding at a couple local spots with a bunch of my friends. Anyway, Saturday night 9 in Maple Plain (will be in Minnetonka before that if you would like to meet/follow me out from there). There will be an assortment of vehicles, with a variety of tune levels, my virtually stock 4x4 gl, a friends slightly lowered impreza awd, a fwd impreza, a wrangler, maybe a cherokee, etc. Anyone interested/available??? Post my Saturday morning if you'd like to meet me in mtka, otherwise, the MPFC at 9! there will be many cameras, so this will be very well documented, and will be very enjoyable, so check back next week for pics.
  6. Hells yea, his car is my hero, that second pic is my desktop (no joke), love the smiley light covers. Anyone have the link to that pic of it at that tuner show?
  7. I, too, have been contemplating this, how did you guys do it? lol, my car USED to have those factory lights under the bumpers, yea, I'll never mount anything I want in one piece down there again.
  8. the starter problem is a somewhat common problem, and I would agree, it's not your starter, it's somewhere in between, check out this link, there are a ton of suggestions there -> http://xt6.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2686&
  9. you do know that the backlights on the dash aren't supposed to be on without the headlights/parking lights on don't you? cause if they are on, with the headlights off, then I wouldn't call that working fine. Or do they come on with the parking lights, then go off again with the headlights? Turbone, I just noticed, check the subject, it's a loyale, it has to be a later model. I would agree, sounds like a switch.
  10. Don't worry man, they just don't know what they're missing, hang in there, we all know you've got the coolest car in the group!
  11. maybe not, he does have those wheel covers on it, they might be 5 lug 13s
  12. true, however, those people probably haven't even heard of an RX, and if so, would probalby only be able to tell them apart by the decals, or if they were sitting right next to each other. but yea, I can tell, still looks great!!!
  13. I don't know much, but the power is from cfm (cubic feet per minute), or how much volume you cram in the chamber, psi is an easy way to measure it, but 20 psi through a tube the size of your finger is less effective than 10 through one the size of your leg! cooling it off just makes it possible to get more air into the chamber WITHOUT that much pressure, specifically. As far as the throttle body, if it's not the bottleneck, than no, it won't help that much, but that's just speculation based on my limited knowledge of how cars work. Guys, please correct me if I'm wrong.
  14. well, I don't know personally, but since you seem to be having some trouble getting a response, check out MorganM's page http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/article.php?a=3 he's got 8.5"s on his, and I don't think he's done any trimming/pounding to the fender to make them fit, though he has cut the fender hope that helps a little
  15. I prefer it if that second step is skipped all together, let's hear it for sleepers!!!
  16. don't we all (those of us that don't have them of course) and he's not gone, he just posted up that he put a wing on it anyway, and it sounds like a nonfunctional one!!! I'm in for the confiscation trip (in my spare time, HA)
  17. I'm afraid, please post pics, maybe you didn't make it look "ricey"
  18. I don't remember enough how these work, but the little resistor thingy (technical term) is right next to the blower, I have a couple of those blown so a couple of my speeds don't work, but I think you'd at least get full speed with all of those blown, so that's probably not it. I hate electrical issues why won't the power just go where it's supposed to
  19. now I kinda-totally disagree, well, not really you are right, but go back to that same situation and put stock tires on Qman's rig, now who has the advantage? I think that was the point morgan was making, if you want clearance, and don't want to do a full lift AND big tires, than the tire size will give it to you faster than a lift will. and good point, crank those adjustables down, that's the only "modification" done to mine, and it'll go places some stock trucks and jeeps can't!!!
  20. WELCOME, but for future reference, this should be in the new generation forum Do it yourself, get a haynes and/or chiltons manual, call napa, make sure they have the part, pull the old one, drive in, trade in yours for a deposit towards the remanufactured one, drive home, put it in, save receipt (lifetime warranty) Mine cost less than a boot kit (less than $30), and I don't even want to think about labor costs, it's an easy job, just a little time consuming OH WAIT, I don't remember, does the axle need to be pressed out of the steering knuckle? if that's the case, then you are probably going to have to pay someone to do it.
  21. also, the FRONT springs off an '86-'89 honda accord (prelude too? haven't tried it yet, but I got a set for free and they look similar) will lift the BACK of your subie about an inch
  22. Snowman's a rule to live by, with my habits, if I had a fast car, I'd be dead or in jail!!!
  23. please don't do that, it may be easier, but this is a one of a kind car. It'll probably be hard to find someone willing to pay what you put in to it. I'd say, if you have the means, hang on to it. If not, try cars.com, autotrader, etc. if you get nothing there, then default to ebay. BTW, it has been crossposted on xt6.net
