EA81 Jumps time
Do you think its possible that the timing chain got stretched or something like that. When i had the motor it never was in perfect time but it ran good enough. If i remember correctly it would run best when the disty was advanced as far as it would go.

First time Off-roading w/ Wagon
They arent full auto but they are semi auto which is pretty nice. full autos are pretty much illegal unless you have a lot of time and money on your hands to get the special permits. Ive heard of that massacre in Au. Not to get over political but i fear the US is going down the same path. For now we can just enjoy what freedom we have while we still have it.

I MUST be sure, please help: EA71 pistons in a EA81 engine
How much would that raise the compression? with a weber carb, a decent exhaust, and some other mild tuning ill bet they would make a pretty good amount of power. Can it run off of pump gas?

A poor impersonation of a brat
So it looks like im not the only one who misses or wants a subaru brat these days. I saw this little 2 door chevy s 10 today with 2 bucket seats bolted into the back of the bed to look like the jumper seats in a brat. Even though your all going to say im a brat wannabe if i do this i honestly though that was cool and am contemplating whether it would be worth it to try on my mazda b2200 to make the thing a little less boring. What im mainly wonder is if it would be legal to have passengers on the road in the seats (probly not) but then again that never stopped me . So what is everyones thought on this?

Can you have rear WD only
Ive driven my ea81 buggy in rwd with no ill effects besides poor handling for a couple of days but that was only because my cv axles were bad and i still wanted to drive it anyways
-
Can you have rear WD only
If you wanted to run your wagon rwd yes you technically could but its not going to make it handle better. The subys steering setup was made to be turned with front wheel or 4 wheel drive so only having rear wheel drive with that kind of steering is going to cause some serious understeer. Also keep in mind the rear diff wasnt really designed to take 100% of the power all the time so it would cause some premature wear on that. If youd like to take out the front CVs and go drift to your hearts content and attempt to burn out on the suby you can go for it but as far as a daily driver suby that is rwd i dont think it would work very well.

Distributor Shorting Out
Well this is a jeep so way different vehicle but on that it had fuses that would sometimes go bad and kill the spark. Did you get a new rotor on this disty you got at pull and save? that can also cause a short. These dont typically go bad on subarus but its important to check your coil as well.

Poor Man Run
Well I for one am going to start plaining another run near my neck of the woods in some places where i know you can legally go offroad. I know of a place up bunco road (road past silverwood in the mountains) where there are lots of trails and shooting ranges and fun stuff like that and then i also know of a place out by the railroad tracks with a pretty awesome rally area and a few cool mud pits. If i were to organize something like this would any of you be interested in attending?

Do you happen to know of any people on here who are good at aluminum welding and wont charge an arm and a leg. I never thought of having it welded but it sounds like a good idea.

what are the long termn effect of shifting with no clutch on a motorcyle
So a bit ago i was riding my 1986 tt350 and the chain broked and slashed through the transmisson case (better that then my leg). I was able to get a truck and get it home and at the time i was honestly thinking it was totalled. I was near correct when i found out a transmission case is $200 used (if they have one) and $800 new from the factory. Seeing as how i spent $300 for this bike i honesty cannot justify spending that much on new parts. I looked at where the hole is and it is right where the clutch input shaft comes in. I suppose i could JB weld it to at least seal it so its not leaking oil but i dont think i could do that without it getting in the way of the clutch linkage thus making it not have a clutch. I know these bikes and most other motorcycles are able to be shifted with no clutch for temporary use but what i was wondering is how bad it is for the transmission to shift with no clutch on a long term basis. I know the basics (clutch cable has broke in the woods before) like get the bike moving before going into first and let off the throttle while shifting but besides that is there anything else i should know.

GL Wagon Wont Start - But Did a Year Ago!
Well it apears that its getting fuel to the carb it just not getting past the carb and into the intake. I you can keep trying to run carb cleaner through it and perhaps some sea foam would help as well or if you wanna do it the right way dissasmble the carb and get all the gunk out.

want to change to DOT-5
Ive been told not to use dot 5 because it wont absord ANY water and if and water at all gets into it it will run through the brakes and cause brake failure.
