Poll: what color to paint wheels?
Redcap replied to tractor pole's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hey, that does look pretty good! -
That is kind of what I had figured. Looking on Rockauto.com, I notice that it says headbolt replacement required on a bunch of the HG sets...is this true or just a way to get a little more money out of unsuspecting EJ22 noobs? Are they torque-to-yield? Are the Ebay timing belt/idler/WP kits worth it? Is milling the head a requirement? What prices should I be expecting to pay for these necessary items? Sorry guys, I'm completely new to this particular motor and any idiosyncrasies it may have...and I'm hoping this isn't too expensive of a project, as I need a good reliable car to carry my son and I around in.

Looks like my free Legacy has a blown head gasket, since it overheats and there are bubbles in the radiator/puke tank while running. So my question is what all do I need to purchase to tackle this job? I realize I will need a new pair of head gaskets, but what else will I need to do this job right...and where can I easily (and hopefully cheaply) obtain said parts?

Enough times to keep at least one complete spare set on hand.

As far as I know, the Cooper STT's smallest rim size is 15".

Not sure on the EA81, but all I have for vacuum on my EA82 is the line to the distributor...

Need help - metric rims
Redcap replied to DrFrankenSoob's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I think those are 390mm rims. You can actually get tires, but you have to order them. And no, you can't just grind them down. -
I am rather fond of Toyo Observe G-02s.

Getting a free Legacy/Thoughts about EJ swap
Redcap replied to Redcap's topic in Subaru Retrofitting
Well, it turns out I was mistaken on which car I was getting. The beat-to-hell one in the front yard wasn't it. As it turns out, the Legacy I just drove home (current tabs and everything!) only really needs a rear driver's side window, a stereo install kit and a very thorough cleaning (smoker's car)! -
Getting a free Legacy/Thoughts about EJ swap
Redcap replied to Redcap's topic in Subaru Retrofitting
I had thought about that actually...but the Legacy has a pretty rough body (front fenders are okay, but the rest is in poor shape) and is missing a number of parts (a couple windows, headlights, some interior). I think it would be more expensive to fix it up than to do a motor (and possibly trans) swap into my EA...but I could be wrong.
