Assenmacher SU-015-A Installer
but in German it's an 'A$$' Maker SU-015-A Installer - so it's a German Tool for installing Russian Missiles on a Japanese Car? :-\

Unfortunate Events... Just a feeler.
Do you want my list of cars I sold and shouldn't have? At the end of the day the profit from their sale is forgotten, the fact they aren't here isn't. Sometimes it is all we can do to suck it up and make ends meet, it ain't a happy place to be. I'm leaning towards the idea that you may not get what you would want for it because most folks aren't buying right now. Maybe someone on the board will be able to give it a good home, I wish I could it's a very nice looking RX.

so what would it take?
Roger that. Maybe I need to start playing the lotto more than once or twice every other year

rule of thumb for cutting springs?
not following you, leave the cap out or use a different one? and how much drop are you talking about? I assume you're talking about the big rubber hockey puck that sits on top of the strut and is visible through the tower hole under the hood.

EA82 Seats?
after 20 years I couldn't get the #4 (?) rail screws to budge off the ea82 seats and it was actually easier to just use the xt track with the long bolts... whichever is easiest, I'm sure both ways work

Spring question
there does seem to be a price difference between the models which leads me to think they are different

Spring question
are the springs the same between my 90 RS and the 87 wagon? (both 4wd) or is one set heavier than the other? can't tell from partsamerica or 1st subaru guess I can measure the coil diameter and uncompressed height... too cold to work outside, doing the coffee drinking part of the job

Just bought a brat
wow, the Brat is really nice - but I haven't seen a Sikverhawk since 1982 when I rode passenger in one for about 200 miles. That is a unique car that seems few people know about, and it's supercharged brother - waaay ahead of their time

EA82 Seats?
I have a pair of 87 Wagon seats, and a pair of 90 Loyale. The 87's need a good scrubbing, the 90's are clean but the driver butt padding has just started to crush down - still better than metal bars and garbage bags. XT seats might fit with a minimum hassle, it wasn't too hard to get them into my 90 Loyale RS, inside rear needed a bushing and a longer bolt, outside rear an 85mm long bolt and a spacer. I have seen box tubing and used a piece of aluminum tubing myself. If you go that route I can take a pic to show you.

the really weird thing is that the seats, although dirty - look easily cleanable and are in excellent condition, given the amazing amount of beer spilled on the dashboard... it doesn't make much sense
-
Who wanted manual windows?
Someone was looking for manual window regulators to get rid of their electric windows... I will be cutting up that 87 wagon (see the Tod Wagon post) and could cut out the mechanisms for you...

My turn to buy something but unlike everybody else, I didn't get a cherry machine for $0.50 presenting the Death Machine itself and what, pray tell lead me to this insanity? well... take a look again, it has a d/r 5 spd, welded 3.9 dif, a SPFI 1.8, that has better oil pressure than mine (and fewer miles), rear disc - either oem or added, and someone has already converted it to Toyota 6 bolt hubs! On top of that, those crappy looking lights on the hood are Hella's, I can steal the map light, cargo light, legible hvac buttons, a working cd player, tilt steering and who knows what else before I send it to the crusher besides, the death skulls were cool it even came with 40S&W ammo rolling around on the floor and beer cans under the seat - hell that was worth it right there

Rusty Control arm OUCH!
ewwww glad we don't use salt here... they do use that magnesium chloride though, and it causes problems too... just not as bad as salt
-
Rock auto... well... rocks?
I hadn't heard of Rock auto until I saw it on the USMB. Good lord, I just got some KYB Gr2 rears for my Jeep for $20 less, each, than Partsamerica. I saved so much I was able to buy some rears for my Loyale RS.

So I made this jig for the CNC...
Wow cool stuff

plastic degradation
my left one needed two screws, but it works better than a glue because you just loosen the screw to change the bulb - and it doesn't need to be tight enough to strip out the screw hole in the plastic, be gentle, it just traps the socket in the hole and keeps it from rattling around and burning out the bulb prematurely really glad I had a useful idea (for once)
