  1. If I lived in an area where they salted roads (Thank God I don't.), I'd make an underbody car sprayer that I would drive over everytime I parked in the driveway. Oh yeah, and if the car was worth it. -Justin.
  2. I race to the posted speed limit!
  3. Turbo? Did you get your crossover pipe too hot? If it's a turbo, it could mean your cat is clogged. I think I spy a downpipe in the pic. Oh did you blow an exhaust gasket?
  4. Only the 4 lug subaru wheels will fit your GL. The older subaru 4 lugs are 4 x 140mm which is an odd size. As for other vehicle's rims...only a vertain type of Puegeots wheels fit.
  5. Hello. That strap for the rear seat is in the center. It may be tucked under the seat so you might have to dig your hand around between the seats.
  6. I don't believe I accused you of anything. I just read your post and took it as an insult aimed towards him.
  7. Dude, he's new, we've all been there, whether it was asking people in person or online. Cut him some slack. NO hill holder. It sounds like you need to do a brake job (at least the fronts). You'll need to get the brake pads (New) and either new rotors, or see if the old ones can be turned (machined flat) at a parts store.
  8. I've heard that each car company has a different type of pop rivet they use to put the vin plates on. But that could be hear say
  9. Yeah, that's why he swapped it. Did you have any problems going from carter-weber to Hitachi?
  10. can't do much of a wheeling with FWD but put it in 4lo and
  11. Hello my friend swapped his carter-weber for a Hitachi. Now in 3rd and 4th gears it will start stumbling around 2k RPM. He's timed it and checked for vacuum leaks over a dozen times.(8*btdc with disty vac advance disconnected). I'm thinking maybe the distributor needs to be swapped too? This was a 1982 Brat with the Carter and we put a Hitachi, from a 1983 GL Wagon, on. Any ideas on what's wrong? He replaced the fuel filters in November.
  12. Maybe the vacuum line coming off of the back of the intake to the tranny is loose or leaking?

  14. If you're good at pneumatic controll and such, you could fab up your own air ride system. Just get a set of air struts ( I have the front two from a 1987 gl-10:brow:) and run the lines with a couple of selenoids hooked to switches.
  15. YES. It's assembled. NO I don't have a serial cable to test it tonight. I'll keep everyone updated on how it goes with my Turbo Wagon. (Possible MS kits on the horizon;))
  16. HAH HAH...how about you check those out then tell us if it fixes it or not. Mine does it too. I've heard "it's a ground", but I've added grounds up the yin yang, still does it.
  17. Yes...what the title asked. What is the I.D. of that pesky tube that goes from the top of the engine to the intake manifold on an EA81. It was too dark when I tried checking. Thanks. -Justin.
  18. Well, is it fuel injected? If so, it helps with the Air to Fuel ratio. It's a $20 part, no reason, other than money, not to change it. As for the exhaust rustin out, ever thought of painting it with some cheap high temp paint? To see if that would slow down the oxidizing?
  19. Here is a try at the solution. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/USRM2/Transmission/Governor/ATgovenorclean.htm
  20. Hah will the stickers add more HP!?. That's awesome. Most people would say "that's ghetto" or "how backyard mechanic-ish". I say screw those people, they happen to have money coming out of their a$$ and would pay someone to do the work in the first place. That's why I like Subarus and this board. I like doing stuff myself, even if that means it'll take longer than paying someone. Adapt, overcome, and improvise. End Rant. -Justin.
  21. HAH HAH, what subaru of that era doesn't have that under the oil cap? In all my experiences, you're ok. What I do, every now and then, is let my car idle, while warmed up, with the oil cap off...an attempt to have the moisture steam out.
  22. I have the PDF of the Factory Service Manual...it's just the schematics are sooo small and if you enlarge it, some of the words/letters aren't legible.
  23. Yeah, as long as you reef on it and put the cotter pin in and good. You'll have no problems. I put mine at 150lbs and have no problems.
