paul clean out your message box , i will send you his phone #

he does have internet now , still no word or call back , [ sunday night 10:40 pm]

see 2 bucks ea for mobile 1''s ,1.48 qt castrol gtx 20w50 = 5.92 + 2 = 7.92 a oil change , every 3,000mi , there is a difference in oil and filters , if i can not afford 1.92 difference , then it's time to start walking or back to horse and buggy

i called and left a message ,and told him to call me or get on the board + other board members wouls also like to hear from him and see what he can work out

sounds good to me, i will call miles fox today [ sunday] but he is in WI right now, but i will call anyways

ok, like i said pretty rusty , but good interior , yes i did notice the top of the motor leaking oil , drive axles look good, also very dirty , owner says it needs a brake line , i would say it has been sitting 1-2 years , if i remember 100,000mi ,it is a 5sp no 4wd

castrol gxt 20w50 , in turbo wagon, amsoil 10w40 in dl wagon change it at 12,000mi change filter at 6,000 mi , car really likes amsoil , bosch ,wix, mobile 1 , got mobil `1' for 2.50 ea, got wix for 2.00 ea , may change to royale purple in turbo wagon , castrol gtx 1.50 qt

there might be a 1/2 work here ,if you can make it down on the way to the east cost ., and you can always ask alleyboy about any other work at his place , on the way eastward

went and looked at it 100,000mi 5sp , pretty rusty , interior good, glass good, owner is trying to grt title and sell it

might be able to get one , not sure if it is a 4sp or a/t or even 4wd , are they pretty good cars, ? wife did not want to stop and look, been sitting in same spot for a few months , any thing to look for ? bad axles, timing bets, oil leaks, ?

yes it is a 2 row radiator , might just get a new radiator , but a oil cooler would be nice also , but remember my wife is driving it ,soooo all the extra stuff will have to be put some where nicely mounted , thanks

here is a answer for my problem , tell wife to stay home , do not run ac , :grin:

the radiator was check out by a radiator shop , good pressure , all fins, no leaks, my wife drives it , can not take out ac condensor , very hot around here ,it only gets hot [ 3/4 on temp gauge] when the ac is on and running 75mpr

ok, the radiator will not get hot 3/4 way unless you have the ac on , if the ac is off radiator temp is 1/2 way running 75mpr , ok on a tranny cooler , remember it is a 4 speed a/t full time 4wd wagon , would doing a tranny flush help ?i am still thinking it is a bad radiator , because last summer everything was good ,but different radiator was in it ,

yes, on the shifter it says do not drive hard with light on, my wife was not driving hard , tranny fluid is good + the power light came on ,but is off now , the tranny lines were both replaced no leaking

bump

my wife was driving the full time 4wd a/t 88 turbo gl-10 wagon, she said the oil temp light came on + power light , but also the ac was running and starting to get pretty hot , 1 bar below the red , she shut off the ac and temp gauge came down, i know now it needs a new 2 row radiator , but what about the oil temp gauge, ? i am using castrol 20w 50 gtx , oil was at full mark + coolant was full , thanks

my 88 d/r wagon has higher oil pressure ,but i am using amsoil oil 10w 30 , 75psi , with regular oil about 60 psi , and the oil has been in there 3,800 miles , so my guess it is ok,

still have not heard from him, nor has alleyboy from columbus,oh , if he would have been in the area he would have called , so my guess is plans were changed

well i was messing with brat ,changed the stock coil to acell ,regaped plugs, set timing , now the thing back fires , + i did some real off road stuff and sure would not like to tear up the brat

looks pretty good ,

welcome , i am also from ohio , good luck in finding a wrx, i have several 80s models myself ,

it will back fire after it warms up and winding up the gears ,like between 2-3 gear , but just a week before it ran fine , i took 1 plug wire off at a time to regap the plugs , tomorrow i will recheck and close off vac lines when setting timing , :-\

it will all depend on the car ,each car will vary , just what i have been reading and talking to people using it , it is equal or better than mobile 1 , there is a board member using royale purple and will not use anything else , forgot his board name , as far as motorkote i was just wondering if anyone else has heard about it , there is a difference in oil ,just like oil filters

next time around i think i am going to use 20w50 royale purple , better hp2-3%, 2-3 mpg more, temp of motor 25-45 degrees less ,
