Flowmastered87GL

Glad its still on, sorry about asking a stupid question Jason I will try to get the engine hoist loaded up just in case

If I may suggest, look at a 2004 WRX... since the 2005's are coming in maybe the deal will be a bit sweeter. If you are concered about the RS being old ladyish swap on a WRX hood with someone who goes FMIC on NASIOC.com

Y'all still have nothing on the northwest... at my Fiancee's grocery store she works at, there are any given time at least 5 subarus in the parking lot. usually parked in a row too :cool: There are 7-8 delivery drivers at my pizza place, 3 of us have white subaru wagons (88 GL, 95 Legacy L, 02 OBS)

Easiest way is to tint it, second easiest is to grab a complete sunroof assy off another car that still has the shade in it, just swap the whole deal, its only held in with 6 bolts after you get the headliner out

Most yards dont allow cameras... thats why I couldnt get pics of the setup Think of a normal 85 GL interior... but where the vinyl is, is black and where the cloth is, is red.... there is a pic out there somewhere...

Sweet, 5th place in open class with a bad throttle cable... I hope I get it fixed before the next one (gonna run a 32/36 DFEV instead of a DG now)

Kurts login is Syrinx I think... I will try to be there in the (now sweet running 88) I guess the trip to Eugene will be Monday instead... Will send PM too..

Which is http://www.por15.com/ in case you didnt figure it out... I need alot for my brat

BRAT : 3000, 5000 if im really on it 88 (just rebuilt so...) 3500-4000 daily (not much power below 2250) and 5500 if I am really trying to move 87 (when its running) 4000 daily 6500-6700 racing

Well since the impreza 2 hole fits... there MAY be a 3 hole one that fits.... hey if it doesnt you could always sell it to someone on NASIOC for their impreza

A gen 1 Impreza one fits pretty well... thats what got put on corkys 86 GL-10 sedan for his temp guage I know... the dual pod one has a bit different fit because at the bottom it comes straight down for the triangle at the front of the window, but when your door is closed you cant see it.

Just cause it blows smoke doesnt necessariliy mean the heads are screwed... COULD be a head gasket or intake gasket... maybe you will get lucky when you open it up and get it all inspected...

Mudrat got 1st place in his turbo sedan in Open class I dunno what I got, my throttle cable broke on the first run so I had to fix it, then got a re-run then 2 more... nice dry track for me, but with no ability to floor it my times kinda sucked (at least compared to John, he was running 4-5 seconds faster than me per lap)

My 87 is carbed... but my RA in college had an 87 with SPFI... I think in 87 it was something along the lines of A: CA models were EFI and 49 state were carbed or B: Carbed first half of the year, then the 87.5 was SPFI... My guess is A though.

Thanks Craig (GLCraigGT) we got the flywheel and clutch off, did the rear main seal and put on the new clutch and everything. the engine is now in the car and the only things to finish up as of now are: 1. Fill with fluids 2. Attach fuel line to weber 3. Bolt on exhaust/install gaskets 4. Bolt on engine mounts 5. Plug in alternator 6. Install belts 7. Swap XT seats back in :cool:

You wouldnt be saying that if you saw how I slid the engine on the tranny It took me quite a while of jiggling it and eventually I just let the hoist down and picked up the front of the engine and slid it back enough so I could get the bolts started. I was kinda scared of braking the disty, so I was trying to jiggle the rotor off, I didnt feel too comfortable just pulling straight up. Thanks alot Craig, the engine is now in the car and the only things to finish up as of now are: 1. Fill with fluids 2. Attach fuel line to weber 3. Bolt on exhaust/install gaskets 4.

It looks cosmetically like an 87 to me... has XT seats, and ya looks like someone really tried to make it something it wasnt. At first glance I thought it was a blue "rx"

Speaking of which... glad to see my Grille fit on there nicely

82 GL, 142K (66K on engine) pretty much bone stock (well until I bob it, lift it, weber it, legacy seat it and herculine pretty much everything on it) Got it for $500 because it needs alot of rust fixed, but the frame looks halfway decent, its just the firewall, rockers and bed that suck. 3rd eye is there but I need to fix the wiring for it because it doesnt work. Its currently being used as a pizza delivery unit

Here's the deal, my fiancee Shannon is recovering from surgery so she really isnt in a position to help me wrench in the garage right now. I want to try to run my 87 GL in the rallycross on Sunday. But... I need to finish my engine rebuild and that means the clutch and the rear main seal need to be finished still. That means I need someone to hold a screwdriver in the flywheel while I break it loose or someone to turn the breaker bar while I hold the screwdriver. I will offer beer and or pizza for any help! I know some of you are down early for the rallycross in Hillsboro and I am not far from there... from the fairgrounds go East on Cornell Road to 185th. Go South to Canyon Rd. Turn left, go East to Murray Blvd, turn right, go a block, turn left on Farmington, I'm afew hundred feet East. (Cornell Road MAY go straight to Murray, but I forget...) I know my other directions work for sure. I should be home around 7-8 PM from work and will be wrenching until the car is done! My # is (503)526-2997 if anyone out there is willing to lend a hand.

Its urgent because I need to get the car done for the rallycross on Sunday! I have the engine reassembled, the intake on... BUT... I cannot get the stupid orange rotor off the disty shaft. It is NOT like the one on my 88 where there was a setscrew to hold it on.. It just snaps on or something... anyway I cant figure out how to remove the old one, and looking at the new one doesnt help either... it looks like it should just slide on and off. Its the disty type where the cap clips on with 2 clips (kinda like an SPFI or MPFI airbox). Its not the screw on cap... In the Chiltons its the 1981 and up 4WD disty I think... I will also possibly need a second set of hands to change the clutch, see thread in meet and greet

I like it. I still consider it to be a Subaru. When you get a chevy truck frame with a V8 and then drop the subaru body on it, then maybe it will be a bit of a crime... but this was still built from the subaru so I like it

Strange thing... I used the AC on the car (its cold!! woo hoo) and the idle is normal now... I even drove it around the block and it has power now too. I also cleaned out the EGR plunger thing, it holds vacuum from what I could tell playing with it by hand. The light is still on, but on 88's do they have an EGR light that comes on every 60K or does the check engine light come on with an EGR code? I looked under the dash for the egr connectors too, but couldnt find em... I've done what I can, the car is almost perfect now, but I think its time to throw afew bucks to Richie and his dad and have them get rid of that stupid light!

I just pulled the code from my 88 GL which has been idleing too low and been kinda sluggish. The code was a 34 from what I could tell 3 long flashes followed by 4 quick ones The ECU codes page says its an EGR silinoid or circuit problem Would a stuck EGR explain poor idle and kinda sluggish performance? And also when i pull the oil cap when running i swear it sounds like the tailpape (the oil filler spout!) What should I check? Just yank the EGR thing off the back of the intake and check its operation? Just swap it out with a junkyard one? There arent the little hoses coming up from the exhaust ports on each side like on hitachi models, as far as I can tell the only EGR things on here are the little 90 degree elbow on the passenger side (head to intake) and the big plunger type thing on the intake (also on passenger side rear) Any comments or suggestions??

your 87 is probably carbed right? The most performance can be gained by custom exhaust and a weber 32/36 carb. If you have 13" steel wheels, get some 13" alloys to save on unsprung weight. Lighten the flywheel, shorten the shifter, theres tons of things you can do.
