86subaru

well , while changing the oil pump seals i broke the rear piece that goes onto the pump, so now a new oil pump , so no running brat

buy adjustable struts from a 85-86 4wd wagon , then put shocks/ springs from a 4wd wagon on the back , xt's will work but the front end will sit lower

my 84 brat has a nice weber on it , but boy what pain in the butt to get started , to much gas will flood it ,not enough it will not start , i know webers are nice and gaining extra hp, mpg, but is it worth it ?

i have a topper now

we all can not be as great as you , aleast when a board member is traveling across the county i put him up , synthetic oil, i am sure you will down grade me more for the use of synthetic oil, to each his own ,

could some one do the same for me , jf1ag4383g8802647, send me a private message

here is something interesting, i poured 1 quart of regular oil into a clean pan, 1 qt of napa sylic into a clean pan , you can feel a difference in the oil , i have never done this ,

could some one run a vin# for me also,?- jf1ag4383g8802647, thanks

mine runs 75 psi with a add on gauge , i am running 10w-40 amsoil ,

i know mobile 1 is not cheap, i needed up getting amsoil for 4.60 qt , to each his own

opinions are like the cold weather , we have to live with it , to each his own

just do not puke on your pc ,that would be messy , to each his own , go ahead and run the cheap wal-mart oil / filters , ? to each his own

thats funny , my amsoil says 12,500 mi oil changes, change oil filter at 5,000mi , to each his own

what if my subaru's have less than 95,000mi on all of them ????? :cool:

found royal purple , 6.29 qt sent to my door , thats buying a case , may try it in my 88 turbo full time 4wd a/t wagon

today i switched over to amsoil 10w-40 , cost like 5.85 qt ,but you can drive 10,000mi between changes , but change the filter every 5,000mi , wednesday i am going to check into royale purple , there is 1 place i know sells it ,

well i went ahead and got some and changed the oil, 10w-40 , i got a extra qt in case i need it , also there is royal purple , which is like 7-8 bucks a qt , i will post any changes , mpg etc... they say increase in mpg ,

i am thinking about using it , 5.75 a quart , will it leak more since my 88 dl 4wd wagon does drip alittle ? and they say you can go 5,000mi between oil changes , will i notice anything right off ? or will it take a few oil changes ? like better mpg ? sound better etc.. i know about the oil test thing and oil filter, i have wix filters ,

what people on the west cost must remember is that almost all subaru's in the 80s or older in the midwest will have rust ,so we must put up with it , if your a good body man then you could always fix it up , or just keep looking like i did until you find a rust free one , welcome to the board , if you go to the meet and greet section we are going to have a meet in the spring in columbus,ohio

we stepped down ,we went from a 2000 ob to a 88 turbo full time 4wd wagon, and my wife every week says boy the newer subaru's sure are nice , i keep on telling her remember we have no car payment and full coverage ins , we are saving aleast 500 a month , the next car for her will be yugo 5sp

i agree with the first reply , i had a 2000 ob took it to a quick lub place and they mixed up the oil filter and tranny filter , but they caught there mistake no damage done, i understand about having 2 kids etc... we sold our 2000 ob and now she drives a 88 full time 4wd a/t turbo wagon ,96,000mi on it now, and i sometimes worry about when my wife takes a longer trip ,just her and the kids , but so far after 8 months her turbo wagon runs and drives great , most subaru dealers take care of there customers , just my .2

a few question, 1 how much was the cat from autozone ? and part# 2- so you have a straight pipe running down from the motor ? i call it a big foot ball of course it is curved which is taken out ? also how much less is the temp of the motor ? any increase in mpg ,hp , the black paint will it slow up any rust ,which does eat away exhaust ? i like what i see ,

my 86 spfi fwd sedan is good , and good on gas, i also have a 88 full time 4wd a/t turbo wagon , it's great ,

just like the white dl rust free wagon i got , the owner said bent valves , the timing was not set 180 off

same thing happaned to me on my 2000 outback , but i was not sure which quick lube place did it, i called a local subaru dealer and they sent me a new tranny filter , and took it to a quick lube and watched them do the job and flushed out the tranny , both filters look the same underneith the car
