Your Leggy is pretty sick. I like the black one too and the dogs named EJ? Awesome

Decided that after the 42 was removed from the Garage (see non-soob cars discussion area) I needed to clean it up for a Subaru After 6 hours of cranking Pandora in Ned and lots of trips up to the 7-11 for refills on Soda (cranking tunes and pissing people off with the cherrybomb)... Ned owns the garage again Its how it should be! I want to wire in my lonely fog light (other got smashed) in behind the grill kinda as a third eye, or buy another set and mount them below the bumper

GD, could it be a kink in the cable? I remember a car where one of the pedals (clutch or accelerator) felt like sticky, but it turned out to be a kink in the cable, replaced and it was good...

Havent heard anything back from the owner :/ hoping we get it to fix it up and stuff.

Post in the Wanted section: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=37 Also, you can do other alternator swaps that are really easy that give you more amperage, may make your alternator last longer if you have a heavy load on yours (driving lights, subs/amp, HIDs, extra horn, CB radio, external speaker etc) And I believe its any EA82 alternator will fit, not specifically an 86

Cool cool well not a bad purchase!

14 years its been ours, and I was the first/only to work on it after 12 years of being in a garage, then moved to a 3/4 enclosed car port (thing was built for a Honda not a classic) and then tucked back into a garage. Brakes were frozen, engine wouldnt turn over, some rust, some glass damage, roof creased..I started working on it finally 2 1/2 years ago, freed up brakes, turned motor over and was ready to start it when realized it was tucked in next to the furnace with a full tank of gas (whose bright idea was that!?) and so I abandoned hopes to get it running and just drained the gas. Cracked my face up pretty nicely freeing the brakes up, ($800 bill later) and then 2 years later, nobody was touching it, time to let it go. The guy is awesome. Hes gonna give us rides, first chance at buy back (if he decides to sell it) hes got a blog that he will keep updated with his progress... He wants what I cant do... Id rather work on a few $400-500 dollar cars, get some real money and restore a 1968 Buick Skylark since that was my first car Loved the car, really, but its better it went to someone who will restore it. My car sold for $2300, these P14s fully restored are close to $30,000.

I chased my buddies Impreza on I5 - was early morning, no traffic and he went 90 for about 10 miles then just floored it, I got to about 80 in 4th, then shifted to 5th and went to ~ 110 before front end seemed scary and slowed down. EA82 with Weber, pulled hard through 3rd and 4th, kinda sluggish in 5th, but thats what 5th is for.

Thats pretty rad Sick micro cars you have, I love the blue van

With some reading... How much would it cost to do an SPFI swap onto the 78? Would it be a SPFI EA82 in there? Would that work mated to a D/R 5 Speed? That way its start-up and go no need to warm up

Ive been looking into the green 78 4X4 on Portland Craigslist for my dad. I have some qualifications that it will have to have/things done. Swaps: EA71 motor is completely disassembled, debating if I should do the EA71 or if I should swap an EA81 or EA82 into it (My dad can handle the power of these responsibly and the more get up and go it has the better, on the cheap end, thats why no EJ swap) I will be putting a Weber 32/36 DGEV on it of course! 4 Speed D/R to a 5 Speed D/R - Advantages? Disadvantages? Plug and Play? Ill probably keep the interior as it is, depending on its condition, I suppose I might swap in other seats just for comfort if I find them cheap enough. This could start to be the build thread, going to talk to the current owner more and if my dad can fund it I will pick it up, fix it and then drive it down to him. No matter what - this has to pass California State Emissions, he's moving to Monterey California and has been car-less since he gave me his Loyale in November 2 years ago so I think this is a good way to pay him back Not a bad learning experience either

Ohhh I want those rims those are sick Earl!

Probably at least 2k. Probably 3k depending on the rust conditions. I see the lifted scoobs with EJs going for 4K-5K so Id imagine that with a clean swap, 5 lug, clean interior and exterior it could fetch 2800 or so. Hell, I see Loyales with 180k miles go for 2k here... Just gotta set your price high and wait to get an offer near there.

Got rid of our 1942 Plymouth Special Deluxe. We will miss this car very much, but at least its going to a safe home. Sounds like it got there safely... Ms 42 shall be missed, but now I has space for Subaru projects! gonna start flippin em! Getting hooked up: Draggin her up the ramp: Up and ready for tie down: Up and tied down:

Agreed, I wonder if a mod has access to the full size pic... then the mod could have a beer

So this is where the Brat went? Gotta say, ran like a beauty and although never rode in it, seemed like itd be a pretty fast Brat. Though of course the FM Brat is faster and I still am a virgin to it Any plans for the Brat or just DD since it was GD's itll last you forever

Glad you like it

Sweet thanks MilesFox! Ill have to look into this more and see if its something I should do now or wait until I do my swaps and stuff

Too young, thank god.

Ive seen people use flickr or something like that, I guess any online photo storage site should work, or you can email the pics to someone and they can post them for you.

Which dealer add-on? Did they have that for my car?

Im putting a train horn where my spare tire should be in my car People will move

Theres a notch right above the bottom line for temperature, I always let it warm up to that before I leave... No matter what car I drive, I thought thats why it was there... Kinda nice that I wont have to do that though I will still want an alarm

Ahh true, I actually totally forgot about having to pump the gas before I start it. Itll work someday then when I do my Frankenmotor swap Can the alarm work now? I know some of the aftermarket ones are so touchy... I rolled my basketball into my neighbors ford and it went off, and I was like, really!? I dont want that, just something that goes off if someone tries to open the doors or something.

Is it possible? Yes? Whos done it? Did you wire it yourself? What kit did you use? Can it be done with a Manual Transmission? No? Why not? Basically, I saw a Loyale/GL wagon on youtube today that had this "beep beep" alarm noise before the door was opened, and I have always thought that yes, my car is 25 years old, but Id still rather have it NOT broken into. So has anyone done this? I think electric start would be awesome since I have an 86 GL Sedan with a Weber, it takes some warming up and itd be awesome to not have to go outside to do it. With the alarm or keyless entry, I have power door locks already, so this should be THAT big of a deal to get it done... but Im not familiar with the wiring of the car, or the wiring of electric start, keyless entry and alarms.
