  1. Living where you do I would buy the whole car. The trips up and down the hill along with the gas and time expense are worth having the whole thing.
  2. Wheres the big line of cars stuck in the mud? Tradition?
  3. 73 Coupe says enough if you ask me. Just keeps you from having everybody confuse your car with an 80's coupe or something else honestly. This sub forum will be the best place to ask anything about that car. The TRUE geeks of oldie Subaru's lurk here. The 360 is another matter though.
  4. Gonna be blue interior. All the silver ones are that I have ever seen. Those little weird badges on the side are requested if you have time to go pull them when the yard is done processing the car. The ones behind the rear quarter windows. Id also love the lower half of the door panels if they are blue and have speaker cutouts in them along with the brackets for the door speakers themselves not the speakers though. Gladly pay you something for your time if requested as well.
  5. Too sore right now to join in but come back and post next time you are going I will try go drum up a few older Subaru's to come along.
  6. Or hit a junkyard and grab a few spares for next to nothing.
  7. The trick is having the intake manifold mentioned or doing a sidedraft on the stock 2.2 maybe or a custom complete intake.
  8. And the coil wire from the carb is re-used. And you need custom spark plug wires which is pretty easy if you know the right guys. Jerry DeMoss would likely make you a set for a fee. He made the set for the brat in the classifieds you are talking about.
  9. I agree and I own a couple myself but I find I only use them on wheeling trips or caravan driving.
  10. Id just go into an electronics store and spend $125 for one you will get so many more modern things in it than the old one and wont have a used skipping one. You don't want an 8 year old CD player IMO.
  11. Do you think we have 365 unique subarus on this site? REally come on people prove me wrong!! PLUG!
  12. The big question is have you learned all the lingo and how many big burly trucker friends do you have now? Too bad we have cell phones now and these are getting closer and closer to completely obsolete.
  13. It should be a reflash with the Select monitor 2. And if you complain about the $130 charge they will probably knock it down. Also, make them say it will fix the problem you are having if they cant say it will then replace the CTS like advised above(not perticularly easy btw), disconnect the battery overnight, reconnect and try to start car. If its gone you solved it yourself. If it isn't you might be better having them flash it.
  14. Hes on to it. Its press and hold disp and then press the button below defeat to advance hours one at a time and the button below eq to advance minutes.
  15. I want a front clip to put that on a USDM one and irritate everybody here. Bring it to a Subaru dealer and watch people throw up.
  16. Not just low or severely overfilled on fluid? (check with car running and in park) Is the trans pan bashed in? Thread moved to new gen forum.
  17. Driveshaft id put $ on it my 86 Brat did those exact same shakes of steering at those speeds.
  18. Too risky if you ask me. You could get a little oil on the silicone and have a leak. Just use good quality permatex like ultra grey or Fuji bond subaru sealant and install it. Then disconnect the coilpack from the wiring harness and crank the engine over until the oil light goes out.
  19. And that picture shows it slightly off too. Just poking a little fun.
  20. Sounds like something just isnt plugged in to me. Take the trim around the column back off and check that first. Did you remove the steering wheel to do the work to start with or after you discovered the light was coming on?
  21. Subaru put out a bulletin stating to use a rubber nubbed tool that 3m makes. Its white and has little nubs. It is used with a surfacing gun on a fairly low speed. Found example on their site here: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Manufacturing/Industry/Product-Catalog/Online-Catalog/?PC_7_RJH9U5230GE3E02LECFTDQGLE0_o=HTML&PC_7_RJH9U5230GE3E02LECFTDQGLE0_nid=GSPVVWTFSCgsSQSFJR0R56glLZM4D26C64bl They call it a roloc bristle disc. You should be able to find these locally without ordering 100 bux worth online but im not sure where from. Green Scotchbrite by hand should be ok if you dont press too hard. You are only trying to remove the black residue left by the old head gasket. I spray a little brakeleen on the scotchbrite to make it clean a little faster and I get a freebie out of it sometimes. Just kidding. Actually the brake cleaner slows down your progress but makes you notice its clean before you are taking divots out. You can remove aluminum with this product so be careful. The new breather plates are a stamped steel and come with allen type screws. A black screw for the arrow indicated hole and the rest. The black already has locktite on it. I havent seen any changes on the screws for the oil pump. I too use locktite red for them. I dont change rear mains unless they are leaking or are not a factory brown seal.
  22. I believe the discrepancy is the front ones are Air fuel not o2. Technically there is only 1 o2 sensor on that car and its measuring the cat efficiency more than anything. Sorry you got the wrong parts though.
