Aww rat fink I think I will stick with my original plan to do it through a friend for $35 a wheel.

Schwab said 20-25 (per wheel) if they are steel, and 70-75 (per wheel) if they are aluminum... Please tell me my peugeots are steel... Heres a picture:

Well these wheels will have 15 inch tires when I have the money. But Imma call schwab.

Dont the EA82 wagons sit higher though? My friends EA82 sedan has wagon struts in the back and its lifted up, but thats the only lift that car has.

Ill have to get a closer look at these 50 series tires... Or 55. Just 60s seem sooo big.

Yea I will call them tomorrow and see what can be done. Im hoping to find a set of used 205-40-15s to put on them, at least for awhile, but I keep seeing 205-50(and up)-15 and I dont want rubbing issues lol

My only issue with Les Schwab is that I called to ask how much to switch my wheels over ( I have a different set of tires ) and they quoted me 118... I think thats a bit ridiculous for switching tires... and they wont let me keep my original tires...

Thats whats gonna happen here sometime when I have more money than bills again, I must refer to my tickets from that stupid mitsubishi

I plan to get them powder coated, but I was thinking I should remove the stickers and the old paint first... So I figured I might as well blast them, make them look perfect.

The other thing Replace the terminals that got bent and make sure they are tight... bad terminal connection could be an issue... they are about 3 bucks a piece ~ 6 bucks total.

Get a multimeter, put it on DC 20V and put the cables on the terminal (pos to pos/neg to neg) Check your battery voltage... When not running, the battery should have 12.5 volts, a little less wont hurt. Then have someone check the voltage while you crank the car to see how much it drops. Also, if it does start, test to make sure that you have power from your alternator (same process) when running, a healthy alternator should give over 14V to the battery (mine registers in at 13.5 but I have a sub and amp hooked up) The lights dimming tells me that the battery is running low unless your on the accelerator, which makes the alternator speed increase and thus charges your battery and you get better head lights. If everything checks out, it could be your starter. But I think youre right, battery or alternator.

The hard part is that I spent about 8-10 hours per wheel on the wagon wheels off my 84 GL wagon awhile ago, sanding them and washing them and drying them, then primering and finally painted them, and my garage got too cold and the paint cracked. So I was looking at just paying someone later on to get them done where they might warranty their work so I dont have to worry too much. Id have it done now if it werent for stupid tickets from that Mitsubishi:banghead: I wrecked :banghead: Mitsubishis Suck but we all know this Subaru --> <---Mitsubishi

Also I apologize if this is in the wrong area. I put it here because the wheels are Peugeot wheels (4X140) which is for the older gen Subaru.

So I have been looking for offers to paint my wheels super cheap, but done right Sandblast Primer Paint Clearcoat etc. I got a quote of $30 for all of this per wheel, and told him Id have to wait because I have no money currently, but he said that it would be cheaper if I didnt sandblast the wheels, and it would be better because in his 12 years of powdercoating, he has seen wheels just warp from sandblasting... What am I missing? Isnt sand blasting just high pressured sand? No water included...? So why will it warp the wheels... or is this just unheard of?

Im thinking I will get it. Could just be spark plugs and the coil pack. Sad thing is, he says hes received 20 - 30 emails on it, so if anyone is willing to raise their offers. I told him my offer was his asking price $300 cash. No more no less.. Not going to play the "oh craigslist is now an auction site" game.

Go with a dealer. They give you the metal separator plate, which doesnt crack..

Thank you so much for the responses. These seem like easy fixes! I will look at the radiator overflow because I dont want to learn headgaskets yet. From what I know, it should restart, but I have to wait until Wednesday to pick it up since hes outta down. Im allowed to go look at it, but the car is locked

PS I have searched: Legacy Motor Shake Motor Shakes Then Dies (apparently skipped the term "then") I did not come up with anything.

So I have first shot at this Legacy (according to the guy whos selling it) http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/cto/2171815305.html $300... With an aftermarket stereo, looks clean, has different colored hood, but thats no big deal. 167k miles and has this issue: Starts and shakes (motor does) Will drive but shakes, especially when stopped at lights. Motor dies. He didnt say whether it will start right up afterwards. Gonna try and limp it about 5 miles home. My question: What is this? Valve adjustment needed? Timing is off...? What could it be? And how much am I looking to go into it. I figure with the low miles, and what other people sell them for, probably 1400-1600 here in Portland, and if I make only $500 thats fine with me, I will be able to put more money on my Daily driver.

Alright sweet. May be tranny oil too... Cuz I just checked and my oil is full... but theres alot of oil, so I dont know lol

Whats best way to wash? Just go to a car wash (self serve) and just spray it down?

My 1986 Subaru GL Sedan leaks oil, and from the look of the pavement, its quite a bit... I havent gone under and looked at it recently, but it had just been when it was cold, and when it first started up and was warming up, itd leave a little 1-2 inch puddle, which was no big deal. Now Im worried that a neighbor is going to complain or whatever. Is this solveable by pulling the engine, replacing all the seals and gaskets or will it still leak?

Nope I have these wheels already, just painted black, and Im going to sandblast them, primer them, paint them gold, and I was hoping I could find stickers like those somewhere to make my wheels look like that. Will any peugeot center gap work then?

I apologize if this should be in Off Topic or something, but it has to do with my EA82, so I hope this is right. PUGS I have a few questions about them... Center caps: Which ones do I NEED? The ones in the picture look really cool, but I dont see that style on Ebay at all, nor do I see anyone willing to part with them. Will any center caps work for my wheels? Stickers, I like the black stickers in the picture below, where do I get those? Those wheels are almost exactly like what I want mine to look like, but I might go with either a bronze or a darker gold. My lugs will be black though...

If you can get pics, they are very helpful.
