yes there are like 3 or 4 nuts holding them on from the inside of the cargo area, and a ring of that black goo. All I suggest is dont pry too hard when you are taking off the light as you can crack the edge of the lens

Check the easy stuff first too.... its free All lug nuts there and tight? Tire pressure within spec?

i dont think EA82s with no turbo are TOO bad, yes they throw timing belts and leak oil like crazy but they DO last a long time. EA82 Turbos.... ya money pits

I agree that car is WAY to vanilla for Austin, I needs some pink wheel covers or something at least

looks australian or british to me. Look at the floor mats, the heel pad is on the "wrong" side for the US

IMO... best solution for the problem. Convert to rear disks You will never regret it!

I agree, pass on the warranty. The markup is absurd and by buying one you are basically saying I think my car is going to break. If you think your car is going to break you should be buying a better car in my opinion (not saying subarus are bad, its just something fun to say to the salesman) Also remember that if you buy the warranty from the dealer. you are PAYING interest over the life of the car to have it. If you put the money in the bank each month you are EARNING interest. The car is covered fully for the first 3 years so in that time you should be able to save up afew bucks for emergencies. Get a subaru mastercard and save up some subaru bucks too for tune ups or emergency service. One more perspective.... Say you buy a 5 year 60K bumper to bumper warranty. You are REALLY buying a 2 year 24k other than powertrain warranty (basically covering the gap between the end of the factory 3/36 to the powertrains end at 5/60) And often times they try to stick you with a deductable to fix something that may have been only $150 to fix anyway without the warranty. With a $100 deductable.... ya that $2000 up front was NOT worth it!

as is on here, about $200, maybe if you were lucky you could get $500 on craigslist for it.

yes as far as i know all manual subaru vehicles use the same 12mm 1.25 pitch. I know for sure that EJ's do and gen 3's do. and I had a gen 3 shifter on a gen 2 so they should match too. Cant speak for gen 1 or older stuff like 360's though.

probably a dealer sticker package on a GL 3dr or something

Got a new computer, while digging through my old computer I found pictures of the setup I had in my GL. This shifter was not a REAL short shifter. The rod for the knob was shortened, but it still moved the stock number of degrees. It still felt a lot better though. I used a forester leather knob and wheelskins universal shifter boot. Side by side of old and new How much I cut off. I later took another inch off it. Retap the linkage with a 12mm 1.25 pitch die. Good luck finding one though Feel free to ask any questions. I did this conversion years ago and the car has been in Subaru heaven for some years, but it still lives on in pieces There should be a thread shortly in off topic regarding the beer caps

Mmmm shiny Bling bling Would that work on a diff cover too? (no I dont want one, just kicking around ideas)

Oh the humanity! Wow thats scary! Glad you are ok, next one you build go straight to an EJ

nice find... that is a VERY RARE CAR!

I would suggest just going out for a nice "sunday" drive spend an hour or 2 just exploring back roads or something.

Goes great with what my Baja just hauled home (in 2 trips) Fresh sod if you cant figure it out Should be ready for you to mow in about 2 weeks

Since you got it free last year you should pay double this year (kidding)

Hmmm have to see if the wife will let me come to this after my truck rodeo

Nice find Those seats should be a dime a dozen I found that if headroom is a premium XT seats properly converted by Jerry seem to lower the seating position... they did in my second 82 brat anyway

For an alternate exhaust idea... I ran 2.0 pipes to a cat, 2.25 to a flowmaster muffler and 2.5" out from there. Using more or less the stock routing but the mid pipe was a bit straighter. Gained some top end, but lost bottom end. Car sounded good though.

There's your problem

you coulda got more than that! it looks like a decent hatch

For ideas of other stuff to do during downtime at the show.... there are plenty of hiking and biking trails within 10-30 minutes of this show We wouldn't be subaru owners if we didnt do something outside. Be aware that crossing to Oregon via bridge of the gods or hood river bridge = small toll

Dude, that fortune was so on that you better play the lotto numbers on the back of it
