  1. So I need to get a harness?

    I can't just cut the wires and hook them directly to the switches?

    (Sorry about all the questions, Electrical/ wiring is not really my area)

     

    Thank's

    when i did mine i just pulled the dash apart a little bit and re routed the ign wiring from the steering colum to the dash, it was all long enough to reach with my setup...

  2. ok, here's my revision, so upon further investigation one of the fans is actually working, its the fan on the passenger side of the vehicle, it is also the fan that turns on when the ac is on. when i was sitting parked in idle i had the acc switch off so there was no power to that fan, duh :slobber: The other fan doesn't seem to be doing anything tho and this concerns me. does anyone know when the drivers side fan supposed to be working? i.e. is it only when its getting hot enough for it to warrant 2 fans? or is this supposed to kick on during normal operation?

  3. was sitting in my gfs drive way last night idling for right around ten minutes waiting for my gf to come out of the house. i noticed her room mate doing the nasty :banana: with the window open when suddenly my view was obstructed by a huge cloud of steam billowing from under the hood of my subie :mad: (instant karma i guess). i shut the car off waited a few minutes and filled it back up with water and drove home fine. i got up this morning and popped the hood with engine running and neither of my electric fans are running! :eek: (1983 1.8l ea-81 ohv) where do i start?

  4. On the EA81s they come out of the stupid spacer in between the exhaust and the head. you could just remove the spacers, but then the exhaust doesn't quite fit right onto the head (hits crossmember)

     

    Instead, unthread the stainless tube where it goes into the box with the reed valve.

     

    That's where you put the quarters.

    Thanks! I'll do that. I just have a shop rag stuffed in the hose side right now!

  5. So How do I start to install the push start?

    Must I take out the ignition and find the wires from there?

    Thanks

    when you take the plastic off of the steering column you will see a round switch with 5 wires soldered to the back of it that is screwed into the back of the ignition key switch. you just unscrew that, cut the wires and rout them to anywhere you want!

  6. I've been thinking of doing the same thing, My gauges are in the stereo compartment. Do you know if it's hard to wire it to the glove box?

    the glove box isn't very deep so there might be some cutting involved. as far as the actual wiring goes, it's relatively simple all you have to do is grab you sodomy iron and start running some extensions over to your glove box. i have 2 6x9s in carpeted boxes for speakers so all i'll need to move is a couple of power lines but if you want to use the existing speakers in the car you can too...

    I'm getting a clunk from my front passenger side suspension when I go over bumps. It's also shuddering when there's a load on it, I.e. Up hill, quick acceleration, 4 wheel drive, but it does it in both 4x4 and 4x2 modes. It's stock height and the struts where replaced less than 8 months ago. Could it be that the mechanic who replaced the strut just didn't tighten everything down correctly? or does this sound like something else? A CV maybe?
