This summer had a '93 Impreza LS with 98k miles totaled by insurance, $100 buy-back deducted from settlement.
Back on the road shortly after, with 2/3 of the net payment in the bank waiting for the next fix or project to fund.
Good luck with your situation!

Appreciate the info! Spoke with a collision guy and his info is the same as Mugs for sedans and wagons. Now to find a non-coupe power door my paint code in a yard with all the goodies still on and in it.
Thanks for your replies Mugs and grossgary!

'93 Impreza LS got rolled up on and the door's a goner. Looking thru car-part.com, I thought it odd inquiry results showed only year 1993, but if looking for 1994 Impreza driver's door get results up to 2001.
I've been to yards previously and am unable to discern a difference, thought all Impreza sedan / wagon stuff '93-'96 would work.
Please advise what might prevent using "94-'01 electric driver's door on the '93 wagon.
Any info appreciated, first hand especially!
Thank you!

Hi, just wanted to chime in that I acquired a Spectra filler neck from Amazon for a '93 Impreza at less than $90 shipped. Didn't have fitment issues. R&R was more time consuming than expected. Good luck!

YAY accidents is what i was worried about
We may have a possible replacement for Blu. Just have to wait on carchex now
Sounds good nipper, like those VDC's, hope it works out for ya!

My current ea82 had a hitachi carb originally. So would the pistons be SPFI? I was assuming no..
And yeah its a 5sp d/r. Tried out the Lo range in the mountains last week, pretty frackin awesome, now I just need bigger tires.
I'm really digging the color too. Thinking about bedlining everything below the trim panels.
I will search for GD's thread. Any kind souls care to link it for me?

Looks good, purchased a '93 with less than 100k myself, great simple to work on vehicle. Get about 27 mpg average mixed driving with 1.8 automatic. Suspect the vehicle in question will get better mpg with a stick. Probably a FWD EJ18 unless swapped to a 2.2, as don't believe the 2.2 was offered in the '93 Impreza line. Still a great non-interference motor with enough power for flat 'ol Florida.
Price? I dunno, plan on spending $200- 300$ for t-belt, h20 pump, cam seals, o-rings, fluids, etc. if doing yourself. Search the forum threads for kits and how to's, lots of good info.
I'd love to have that car's body and trans up here in WI, but don't think I'd go $2400 for FWD, of course don't really need AWD in FL do ya?
Make him an offer with the service costs in mind, hard to find a good condition low mileage example of this vintage for cheap.
Good luck!

Well, you may experience unforeseen and expensive complications in addition to the currently diagnosed issues.
Who knows?
-
Well, look what followed me home,
Now all I have to do is look at it.
On that note, while I drove it home, I could've swore there was just a *tiny* bit of boost - Which was odd.. It shouldn'tve had any...

Now it's yo baby? If so, congrats!...... and good luck!!

The green connectors? They did on the '93 I mentioned earlier, AFTER the bad 20 amp main fan fuse was replaced with a good one.
Anyone know if it wile cycle the fans on the 98? -
Ran into this on a '93 Impreza, turned out to be the main fan fuse (20 amp?) at the fuse box inside the car on left side of driver footwell. If lucky he'll have a spare 20A still in it. Cheers!

Sorry 'bout that mon ....bad luck:( Glad nobody was hurt. WTF is his bumper made of cast iron?, must have got under him just right..... that's a shame, thinking insurance is gonna cut a check for that. Hope you hold onto it and put her back together. Best of luck!

Dig the toggle bolt hood pins!.........keep it rolling mon!

That's a shame, sorry for the loss.

That's brutal! I once blew a hole in the trans case at the countershaft on a '70's V6 Mercury Capri, but haven't seen internal grief like that in awhile.
Thanks for sharing :cool:

Congrats! Gotta love those "mystery" fixes ( I'm due for one any year now), seven years is quite the hiatus. Good luck on the exhaust work and enjoy the victory!

Welcome mon! Ya Matt's a good guy, helped me out with some parts. Good luck with the rig!

nice growl!

I got one from Amazon.com about 2 months ago and it's also made in Germany, just like the one you got. The only difference is that the temp carved on the t'stat is 170 F, not 78 C. I put a 2-year-old OEM unit and this new German one in hot water on the stove. This new one opened a tad sooner than the OEM which makes sense - 170 F is a tad lower than 78 F. I installed this German one on my 96 2.5 and have had no problems.
Thanks for your info, that's good to hear! I'll plan on using it the next time.

Hi Shawn,
I'll use them all as well. Chain stores for mostly fluids and supplies expensive to ship.
Online, primarily RockAuto and Lancaster County Motors Subaru http://subaru.partsestore.com/?siteID=216358 (cheap shipping), sometimes Amazon and eBay.
Have been utilizing my local dealer more lately, as they will match online dealer pricing.
JY, the board, and specialty shops for hard to find, vintage, and quality used parts.
Best of luck with the project!

That's pretty much the gist of it. Seals must be driven in precisely perpendicular to the shaft axis. As they are installed over the shaft you need to rotate the seal to prevent rolling the lip.
Just turn seal by hand on shaft during install?
I'm sure you will be fine if you are careful and take your time. The fact that you are here asking how to do it is a sure sign you will take your time and do it properly.
Thanks GD! ...a fan of doing it right,....not doing it over.
The problem comes from people working too fast and not realizing how critical the precise installation of a seal really is. 9 out of 10 engines I tear into have something wrong with one or more of the front seals. I should start taking pictures but I see it so often that it's hardly worth the mention around my shop.
I should be OK there, as I'm more like "painal" slow (to a fault) when it comes to precision of any sort.
Whole reason the party got started, right side cam seal was urinating oil, removed without leveraging seal puller, hooked it... and it came free. Could have done it with my fingernails.

Thanks again!
