  1. Put 2.25" exhaust on the subie from the cat back with a flowmaster 40 on the back with about 18" 2.5" and a tip. Welded it all. Sounds good except the exhaust leaking from the head.
  2. Loaded up the subie with 18 5 gallon buckets of used motor oil and drove 15 miles home, with 2 people in the car. Didn't get pics because it was dark, but here are the buckets.
  3. check your clearances, I ruined a freshly rebuilt mazda motor like that, right around 3k miles after rebuild
  4. I ended up rigging a steel bushing and some heater hose for now
  5. Pop riveted some sheet metal to cover up the giant rust holes! that is roofing tar I used for a seal. Next fiber glassing!
  6. added a 1987 300zx front bumper to the rear of my 1989 suburu GL. Will add the bumper cover soon!
  7. Got my 1989 subaru GL Ea82 spfi running after sitting for 3 months. The passenger side cam gear BROKE into pieces on the highway and had to tow it to my parents where it sat in the garage while i replaced the wheel bearings and timing belts etc. Now its running I think the timing might be advanced alittle to far maybe 25 deg but runs good until you give it more than half throttle then it stutters. I have checked the timing marks MANY times and a friend set the distributor to 30 deg with a timing light. I bumped it back a hair but it still is not running right.
  8. good point! I would like to swap out for some stiffer ones still and keep it stock height. maybe get a lift kit but they seem pricey.
  9. why not? not intentionally but that is how the back is
  10. I had to reroute and tee in my egr because I was not getting any vacuum from the passengers side of the purge solenoid. I will try to get a pic
  11. I have the rear strut/spring swap done, over 10,000 miles on it.. Even after cutting some coils off the back the car still sits 3" higher in the back then front, and the front springs are to soft. I read of some suggestions on other springs that might work ford tempo, etc.... But other members have mentioned the ford tempo springs were to small. I dont want to waste $$ and buy springs that I cant use. Anyone have a front coil spring swap that works?
  12. well its on the front of my throttle body, two lines can hook up
  13. hey I wanted to see if I could figure out these vac lines, 1989 ea82 spfi. I removed the Charcoal canister and I cant figure out where the 2nd IAC line should go to. With them both off it throws a check engine light, but with the drivers side hooked up to a vac its dont. I just have the other one venting into the engine bay.
  14. cool now I need to find out if this exhaust leak is causing major loss of low rpm power!
