1987 Brat...how'd I do?
if there really is no rust I bet you could get a nice paint job applied to it and sell it for like $4000+ on e-bay

I have a very sad Brat (engine lacks power)
you could swap it to an EJ engine from a legacy.... but if you want to go the simple route, reseal your current engine (if you can determine the internals are good) head gaskets, oil seals and such and throw on a weber 32/36 carb. Way more power, better mileage and you can take off of most of the emissions stuff and still pass emissions testing (as far as tailpipe emissions go) if they look under the hood not sure (California for example)

runna likkkeeeaaaaa ************ttaaa
well it shouldnt be putting out that many volts. Since you say advancing it all the way helped some maybe pull off the timing covers and make sure both timing belts are properly in time. May be as simple as moving the drivers side belt 1 tooth. Of course at that point if they are off time I would just replace the belts.... and water pump... and oil seals

Way Cool Gift from Friend for the Older Gen
Sweet, you need a thick picture frame for it so you can mount it on the garage wall. Glad you arent opening it. My manuals are full of grease and the spines are broken from setting tools on them to hold the page open

Replacing a headlight bulb 2003 legacy
Flowmastered87GL replied to adwolf1's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI just let the dealer do it. Its like $7.99 I think? (maybe 12.99) for the bulb and they put it in free and guarantee it for a year Since I drive with my lights on 24/7 its nice.

WCSS10 Location and Date Set!
Not sure of the onsite stuff, but Warrendale is really close, as is Astoria depending on which way of business route 101 you go. I for one will be restocking my beer supply (if it runs out)at the Rite Aid in Warrendale because I know how to get there with my eyes closed since I work for em Dunno what to do about food... I was just going to live on Beer and Oranges maybe

Added one to the fold.
Congrats

what is this on my subaru 1990 brumby?
you could cut them off, but I would just bend it straight. The engineers put it there for a reason. If it breaks off though... eh no biggie
-
how long do you wait to crank a car after a reseal?
I try to do 24 hours... not like I ever move fast enough for that though I resealed the legacy engine like 2 weeks ago, put it in a week or so ago.... need to connect everything in the next week... maybe it will be started by WCSS

Body parts
Flowmastered87GL replied to bmed's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe side moldings are different (side markers on the black molding on the 92-94's) and the side markers were more horizontal than on the 90-91 So you CAN bolt em on... but you have to change some other stuff to make em work. Generally not worth it.

Driveline/vibrations 86 GL
I had my U joint go out... mine was on the rear diff end of the driveshaft. It was WAY off center by the time it nearly failed. $25 for a used low mileage part and a beer mug to have a friend (thanks Mark) put it in and I was back on my way I had like 270K maybe when mine died. The transplant had only like 115K It did what you are explaining too... vibrated... mainly under power at higher speeds. Not so much when coasting.

loyale lacking power????
just throwing this out there too.... my GL was terribly slow when the catalytic converter clogged. Once it exploded the power came back . Not saying this is the issue, but it is a possibility. I would more likely lean toward something along the lines of BOTH sides of the engine being in proper time with everything.

legacy stereo into loyale
I had a 98 or so OBS tape deck in my 87 GL.... I just made an adapter harness to go between the deck and the factory car wiring. I clipped the illumination wire because the deck would go dark when I turned on the headlights. With it clipped the display would always be lit, but the buttons wouldnt. I just wrapped electrical tape around the part of the deck that stuck out. Looked good enough.

Do Forester 2.5's have the same HG problems?
My solution to this problem (back when I used to work on EA82's as projects... but EJ25's should hold true for the same thing) was to find one that ALREADY had a blown head gasket... Then I could fix it on my terms and know when it was done, and know that it was done right and that it wouldnt blow again in a month A friend of mine just bought a really nice loaded 2002 outback limited for like $8000, had Richie replace the head gaskets and rear brakes and she came in still under her $9995 budget Sure beats buying the $9500 outback with currently good gaskets and having them blow a month later
