- Stubborn oil pan gaskets!!
yeah when i did the oilpan on my coupe in december, fond memorys of that damn brush were remembered.- Stubborn oil pan gaskets!!
i hate removing the old oil pan gasket more than anything, get a chisel (sp?) and go at it.- Needed Mechanic in Palm Springs/Palm Desert
what about the dealer? Palm Springs Subaru (760) 318-4700 67977 E Palm Canyon Dr Cathedral City, CA- It was sunny out today, so.....(56k ok)
they are "nicer" but.............. 2 things. they were getting too much abuse in my daily & the side bolstering is much firmer on the stock seats- It was sunny out today, so.....(56k ok)
took out one of the bolts that holds of teh bumper cover & replaced with a longer one.. it's in the car, but the stock seats back in..now i just gotta clean up the change tray- It was sunny out today, so.....(56k ok)
I had teh day off and spent some time on all the little projects I had going on for the coupe, since its been like 30+days of rain:rolleyes: . did a little modding to my ceneter console. first.. a black XT e brake handle. waay better than the gl one, more ergonomic. it is a direct bolt in. you will notice though the "cover" of the ebrake does not cover its entire length..didnt want the metal to show, so this was easily solved by using a high rise console:brow: ..no metal showing now..into the front yard paint booth to be converted to black it went. i then took off the top arm rest part of the console. tore off the stock viynl. and recovered it in black velour ill get pics of it all assembled when its daylight out again. other new additions are.. set of 80's NOS bosch lights , fliped the lens', added 3M clear bra, and mounted them in the factory spots w/ factory fog switch. oem wrx 6 cd indash w/ factory sub,- NA EA82.. turboable?
turbo an MPFI heads are the same(minus the turbo lines on the pass. side), spfi/carb are different- subaru illistration
yep..... about to get a house across the river in vancouver soon though- subaru illistration
what up man..havent seen you on the board lately. still in bend i take it?- What makes compression ratio diff. btwn carb and spfi?
the pistons are what makes the CR difference.. .heads are the "same" but, will be different(due to intake manifold) on the turbo compared to the carb/spfi- Looky what I found!!!
old pic- might have found a soob graveyard...
dont forget to bring a digi cam- Things maybe looking up finally.
woot:banana:- I scored a RX
yeah the coupes seem to be VERY prone to leaks/rust on the outside A pillars at the windsheild, spoiler holes (espicially the center one), and all the little nooks in the rear panelling.- 1990 EA82 hatchback
take one ea82 3dr -cut off the rear end right past the door -weld on a wagon rear end BAM!- new wheels for the 4x140 page, german brat goodness

nice score justin...its a coupe, so you will find rust on it, dont worry:lol:- steering wheel swap? IMPREZA wheel in a GL
herea an impreza hub with a momo wheel- West Coast Subaru Show #8 date and venue decided.
hell yeah! ..soo glad its at hood river again- Lowering springs?
for a daily driver i would advise agaist thoose generick (sp?) ebay coilovers. you stock rear springs are about 12" long and are 160lb if you RX is a sedan, 180lb if its a coupe- 93 Loyale Engine Swap
i have done this befre well actually twice cuz i replaced my wirring/dash...the easy way is to find a turbo gl, remove the entire dash with everything still attached, then remove the entire main harness/fuse block (it splits & runs through the driver fender & top of engine bay) by pulling/feeding it into the car, unbolt factory bc selinoid form the pass side of the engine bay. you will also need the crossmember with ps lines, fuel pump, motor (duh) with manifold harness, the downpipe will bolt into your existing exhaust.- Lowering springs?
people, people:-\ ..the rear is easy part ..you can use standard 2 1/2" or 2 5/8" id coilover springs in the rear.you can order them in different lengths and with a ton of different lb ratings.- Center "info center" Pictures
must be from a DL - Stubborn oil pan gaskets!!
