torsion bar adjustment?
spanky_pete replied to dragonwingsubaru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Someone can correct me on this one, but since it's a 2wd there won't be any adjustment to be made to the rear. Ordinarily, there is a rubber grommet under the back seat that gives you access to the adjuster. -
My WRXs get plenty muddy just trying to get in and out of my new driveway lately.

Need Vacumn Hose diagram for Subaru 1985 GL Wagon
spanky_pete replied to bk2's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Don't know about his, but I'd like to see a copy of that. -
Yeah it's real, but it does keep people guessing. I'm heading up North for a few days, so if I don't post the link right away it's not because I've forgotten about it. I should still have access to my server from where I'm staying.

I can host it, send it to: getbent (at) twistednipple.com

Dead RX on I-5, anyone from here?
spanky_pete replied to spanky_pete's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Hehe, I'm sure someone has been out looking to see if it was still there by now. -
Contrary to the posted opinion, you're getting a lot more car for that extra 10k. Yes older subarus are indeed incredibly reliable, but I would definitely recommend buying newer. The 2.5l Outback and Foresters are great cars, with most of the their troubles behind them in their current revisions. I've driven both and the weight savings going with a Forestor instead of an Outback(Legacy Based) gives you a little extra 'pep' from the 165hp motor. If you're looking for a little extra power, a used WRX wagon can be had in the 15k range too.

Looking for power ideas 02 wrx.
spanky_pete replied to jercash's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
This site doesn't delve into WRX stuff too much, you might want to head over to NASIOC.com and have a look around. I've installed aftermarket uppipes and downpipes and ECU reflashes on mine. Makes a huge difference in power, imo. -

My WRX does 95+ in 4th gear all the time. Then again, it's only got four gears. -
West Coast Subaru Show website is now up!!
spanky_pete replied to Qman's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Feel free to use any of the logo ideas I uploaded. I can also help out with the WCSS site if there is anything you need. Will register as soon as I can get the wife to commit to getting those days off. -
Anyone buy the EA81T Convertible?
spanky_pete replied to richierich's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Speaking from experience of having sold through ebay before; he lost money on it once he pays the seller's fees. He had a legitimate offer for $3500 from here and passed it over. I hope it is going to a good home. :-\ -
cleaning up the stainless center caps....
spanky_pete replied to karinvail's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I use fine steel wool to take overspray and rust off of chrome all the time. -
I'm running a set of 'Walmart Special' Douglas X-trac M+S 185/80/13s on my hatch right now. They get me out of plenty of situations, but for real offroading you're going to want to go bigger. Oh and they were $23 a piece when I got them.
-
Cool, nice grab on that one. I was watching it too but decided I didn't need another car sitting around.
-
It seems to me that you're talking about the hose that attaches to the top of the injector that the hard line slips into. That piece is not replaceable without installing a whole new injector. I also have one that has a small puncture in it, if you can seal it temporary it will be ok until you can get replacements.

I'm also about to begin an IC install on my ea82t; any tips, info, specs, and insults welcomed. -

The part with the two wheeled burnout is pretty sweet. -
Went Offroading today to test out the wheels and tires.

Cool, looks like fun. -
Motor is here - links for pics
spanky_pete replied to tscinmd's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Is that a gouge in the end of the crank? Edit: also looks like that dist. cap was busted for a while. Don't know if I'd trust that disty to be any good. Otherwise it's a pretty clean looking ea71. -
Need help with a logo for this year's WCSS
spanky_pete replied to ezapar's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
I like the font you used for WCSS7 better than my stencil font, but the smaller text below it is hard to read clearly. The colored topography background would look real good on ads and whatnot. There's my 2 cents.
