Flowmastered87GL

If someone were to photoshop it orange... those rims make it look like the General Lee

Reminds me of my 87 GL... 321K in subaru heaven but living on in many pieces in many cars still on the road today (shift knob still in use in my baja)

Good to meet up with you again Thanks for the advice on the Legacy

I guess it depends on your parts guy.... I always seem to get the list price. Though I often am wearing a West Coast Subaru show t-shirt when I go in and know EXACTLY what I need.... so I gues they figure they cant sucker me into paying retail

Slip some mirrors under it on the ground to show off the pretty belly

Grrrr the board ate thread number 1. Anyway I got me a new toy today... 91 legacy L, 240K for $300. No rust and pretty decent shape. the clutch is kind of messed up and it was broken into but it hopefully will be an easy fix. Note that its shiny! My questions: #1 Since its FWD should I drop the tranny to do the clutch or raise the engine? I have 2 floor jacks and an engine hoist, but no tranny jack and no high car lift. #2 (fixed the wiring, the car starts) #3 (fixed the broken bolt.... just left it there and installed 2 additional long metal screws) #4 The trunk leaks... is there a common cause? dirt under the weatherstripping??? can I just pull it, clean it and put it back down with RTV under it? It was just mentioned to me today that the taillights can leak too. #5 (Found the tilt wheel) #6 (new 5/4) With a jumper box connected.... the auto seatbelts didnt move They are locked in the back and driving position fortunately. Is there a common cause? Or should I just say screw it and convert it to manual belts? (I believe Edrach did it) #7 I dont have a check engine light.... at all... and only 1 bulb in the guage cluster works (I got it started today and drove it up and down the driveway if you cant tell) How hard is it to yank the cluster?? I have yanked the HVAC controls, but never the cluster. Any special trick to it or just start pulling screws til it pops out? More to come likely.... watch for a WTB thread... will need lots of tan interior bits to the lower dash / steering column

Happy B-day

Actually if he is solo he can work a 14 hour day, 11 of which can be spent driving. The rest can be spent admiring the Subaru Or loading / unloading other lesser vehicles from the truck at waypoints. After the workday a 10 hour break must be taken.

IF its not too far.... consider a AAA membership.... its like $80 per year I think. Just dont use the tow too soon after getting it.... like wait a week or 2 or more maybe (if you have time for that) Plus you have it later if you break down or get locked out or something. Use more than 4 tows a year and they threaten to charge you more though

Happy b-day, hope you, the shop and the family are doing good

it should be.... generally the second is a backup to keep you moving. Some models it follows the exact same path, others it skips an accessory or 2.

Thinking about it.... But what they REALLY need to do is bring back the Baja.... with a diesel and a dual range

Welcome I am in PDX as well, though I dont have any classics anymore For the above referenced engines, look down at the engine block while standing in front of the car. There should be a little square stamped into the engine with EA71 EA63 or something inside the square. EA71 is a 1.6 liter a 63 is a 1.4 I hear there is a good yard out in Forest Grove or Carlton or something... but I havnt found it yet

Good job! I knew there was something I was supposed to do today

Sell all the rice parts to some poor 17 year old to finance some nice pretty used stock parts Ugly or not those lights can probably fetch afew bucks And are the tires facing backwards????

When the seats are in the up (you can sit in them) position (at least on GL's) there is something similar to a door latch mechanism. Pull up on the pin and it releases the jaw that grab around a metal loop. When the seat is folded down (and the seat bottom folded up and forward) the little plastic loops on the top of the seat SHOULD sit on pins on the backs of the seat bottom hinges. If you have the seats all the way back there will be some resistance to get the seat up and down from this position as the seat cushion has to compress a bit to allow the plastic ring on the seatback to come free of the pins. There is no latch though in the down (big flat open back) position. Hope that helps? :-\

Salvage title = warranty is null and void. So all those reconstructed WRX's that were out a little while ago with only 8000 miles??? No warranty at all!

Reminds me of the trade in's we used to joke about when I sold cars... someone says the title is clean and we ask to which half of the car (not to their face, just to each other) Sweet outback though (I had a reconstructed impreza too ..... hmmm is this from Frantic four too??)

Optima Red top Outlasted my 87 GL :-\

Not old generation but hey why not.. 2005 Baja Sport Afew paint chips on hood Left rear tire leaking air (looking at tomorrow) Rear 12V outlet not working (will be looked at under warranty) Left tailight (in tailgate, not the signal/brake light one) burned out Spring clips for hooks on bed extender broke last winter (work like a caribeaner) Either the roof rack or body cladding holds water when it rains alot :-\

$225?? Even with the rust I hate you

I'm happy with em.... at first I was like at the new school logo, but I saw the old one on the state of oregon map

Pretty much what it sounds like. A thin stamped sheet metal plate thats installed before the brake rotor is that basically helps protect the back from water dirt, rocks, grease and stuff. Yes they can trap rocks, but I think I only caught one once in over 100K and I drove on alot of gravel roads. PB blaster and a good breaker bar are your friend in getting these off as they may have never been removed in the life of the car.

And I will tell you a die to re-cut threads on your linkage is HARD TO FIND. I had to hire a motorcycle shop to rethread my rod after I shortened it on the GL as no one it town had a 12mm 1.25 pitch die

I was wondering if you were going to cut out a small hole in the top then recess it like 2-3 inches..
