92_rugby_subie

Welcome! Youre in Portland eh? Once I get my license back, I need to have a meet going, I hang out with PNW Subaru Enthusiats on Facebook but they are mostly newer generation people, and sadly, NED cant keep on the cruises But I know of people that dont care WHAT Subaru it is, just as long as its a Subie that are cool to chill with

Its got pugs already

To me those are just wagon wheels and dont count

I have been meaning to ask him, I just want to have a better concrete schedule on it... GOOD NEWS (TO THOSE READING THIS) I HAVE AN OFFICIAL JOB... Bring on the upgrades

I thought Jackmans had no issues on EA82s since hey were flat-spokes?

Maxima alternator upgrade on hold, alternator died before/after install... gotta try again These are in progress too, gonna sand them or find a place to blast them and then paint them gunmetal in color On the car: Still lifted on the jack, forgot to lower it, and the tire is a 185/80/13 so the car would look WAYYY higher than itll ever be... Im thinking of talking to a Datsun buddy of mine, hes got 205/60/13s and I think those would look, handle pretty amazing compared to my current 175/70/13s

I havent heard from him yet, I am back and forth on Facebook with him... let me check

Info passed on Thanks FairTax!

Fresh install. The 2.2 heads have HLAs in them and it was just started today, as its running off a battery charger, the alternator isnt hooked up yet Should he just run it? Several people are saying rod knock or bottom end noise, but I feel like its just really loud lifters, previous engine that the lifters were in, the drainplug came out and was run dry til it seized.

First gen legacy with frankenmotor: 2.5 with 2.2 heads... Has this loud noise, pretty sure its just lifter tick... But wanna check... The owner says it sounds more top-end noise but the engine was rebuilt. Do the EJ22s need dime spacers under the lifters for the DELTA CAM torque cams? Could that be the source of this noise? https://www.facebook.com/blood.n.rugby#!/photo.php?v=392590934120113 Please let me know if it doesnt load, I shared it off a private group posting... facebook is stupid screwy lately VIDEO FIXED AS OF 632PM

Wheres the 87 GL pics Ive got an 86 sedan

heres one from awhile ago: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24708 Also, if you ever subscribed to it or posted in it, you can find it in your posts or in your USER CP

How far is it in the ignition? I would just use needle-nose pliers or tweezers... Or if you have some patience and its REALLY in there... Put some super glue on the end of an old flat-head screw driver and stick it to the key, use a blow dryer for about 3 mins on it (or find a way to support it so it doesnt fall) When its dry, pull it out... Worked in my 85 DL and 68 Buick Skylark... just dont gob the glue on or you can get it stuck to other pieces and then youre really in trouble

Ahh see I learned something too

WITH the dual range lever... Some 4WD transmissions are pushbuttons in the 80s too... mainly the turbos

DANG! Do tell more on why that happened

They look to be of different sizes... like a big coil and a small coil? +1 on all the suspension coil suggestions....

Good point, I was just on my way back inside to read that Id seen a fan type thing inside the alternator casing... Thanks!

Hes correct. You need a dual range transmission. Its found in the 85-89 4WD GLs. Didnt come stock in the Turbos or the Loyales. Those, although 4WD are Push-button single range transmissions... D/R = 2WD, 4-HI, 4-LO P/B = 2WD, 4-HI

GD or Idasho: Can you use the fan still on the Maxima alternator? Its on the first picture that Idasho has, but not the second one? Id think you could, the spacer would just be shorter would it not?

Tsk tsk... knock on wood* Here in Oregon they do pull you over for it... We had to ziptie one onto the 240sx because it didnt have a front bumper so he had it displayed in the windshield, still got a fix-it ticket for it I may just get one and put it on for show purposes

Have you driven the EA81? GeneralDisorder swapped an EA81 into my EA71 powered 84 DL sedan with a Weber 32/36... I loved it... more power

Sweet another Oregonian! How about that May weather yesterday made me wish I was not in Oregon thats for sure. Is that EA82 and EA81 in your arsenal? Which is your favorite?

Nice! Enkei wheels right?? More details on the Aluminum Falcon?
