  1. Can someone take a picture of where my rich fuel mixture adjustment screw is? and how do i adjust it for living at a high altitude. Also... how hard would it be to drop a gl 10's turbo into my 87 gl?
  2. I am so tempted to try and do the xt6 conversion. But i don't think i would be able to. Well maybe. Idk. Half that stuff you talked about the lift I would have no idea how to do. But I think i want to do that. My car aspires to be like yours!
  3. I already popped in new ngk plugs. i dont think i will do the wires? where are the hoses i should clean? i ran lots of carb and choke cleaner into the carb which seemed to help. i need to order all those other things you said though. cap, rotor, fuel, and air filter. But all i am saying is that going up a moderately steep hill in second flooring it i can't get above 35 mph...
  4. well i wouldn't want to go over 2" anyways. so if i just get this sjr 2" lift kit i can just drop it onto the top of the struts basically and i am good. nothing else really necessary? take about an hour? What kinda tools would i need? Also what is this? is this a hub conversion to go to 5 x100? Wheel Adapter VW5 to Subaru 4 x 140
  5. Update! I freaking love this thing. I think my gas mileage is a little low. around 24 ish. is that average? I feel sooooo underpowered and clumbing hills is slow. Would a weber carb help? I really want to do it but I am 17 and don't know much about cars. You think i could do it? I replaced the spark plugs about a week ago and that helped a little. Starting it takes about 10 sec sometimes when it is cold and has been sitting. But it is a sick little car. Also how hard is the xt6 hub conversion? Where would i even find one and is there any way to get the 5x100 bolt pattern? Pictures! Sorry that this one is blurry. i will get a better one tomorrow with the sick basket.
  6. I have to ask. how hard was doing the lift? i have been thinking about it. Was extending the steering column hard? I mean I am 17 and don't really know much at all. and this is my only car ahahaha.
  7. what kinda tires are you running? and are those just the stock 13" wheels? do you have a lift on that?
  8. Yeah sometimes my 4wd green wheel indicator lights don't go but i just wiggle the 4wd and it will go most of the time. i dont care though cause its still in 4wd haha
  9. where did you get a replacement for the choke?
  10. What kinda lift you got on that? Also where can i get a legit push bar fabricated?
  11. Same issue! Is it easy to completely take apart the carb and clean it?
  12. It's my name on another forum, and it's kind of an inside joke between some friends and I. I'm living in Vancouver, WA right now. Picked this up on craigslist like two or three days ago. However I am moving to Big Sky, MT (hour south of Bozeman) on Sunday. Thanks I love this thing. Only problems are the drivers seat is a little shot so if I can find one that drops in real easily i might do that. Do any of the newer subarus seats swap in easily? And the carb seems a little old, has trouble ideling when first starting up and accelerating from the first couple stops in the morning is chugging. But once she warms up its good. Also has a clunking from what i think to be the suspension in the back right? Is that normal? My friend has a late 80's Mercury Sable wagon that does that sound as well?
  13. found it. I think my carb just needs some rebuilding. I dont have time right now. But eventually i will try and figure it out.
  14. ooh awkward.... Haha I shall change if it will let me!
  15. Just bought my first car. Of course it was a suby. Unfortunately when your in high school, you can only afford so much. I Bought this 1987 Subaru GL 4wd 5 speed manual Wagon! It's not that pretty but hey, it has 4wd, 30 mpg, and it runs! I guess I plan on doing stuff to it. I don't really know what yet. Here is a small list. Decent sound system in it Weber carb in the near future New wheels (don't know how big I can go?)/ Xt6 5 x 100 conversion Change interior panel colors New suspension and a small lift maybe
  16. I am wondering where the throttle cable is on my 87 gl and where the idle screw is? any help?
