Sweet82

I have an EA81 and I want a funky wheel! How cheap is cheap? Thanks, Glenn 82 Hatch, wants a off-road wheel..... 01 Forester, wants a D/R tranny......:madder:

Only got 23.5 miles on the return trip:cornfuzz: Kinda thought the mpg's would be a little better than this? Glenn, 82 Hatch, transforming :temper: 01 Forester, jealous......:madder:

Sawzall...........................:cornfuzz: 20 minutes....................

A while back, I saw a girl driving a Hatch with a nice rack. I wish I had some pics to post.:boohoo: I know, I know, I realize it's getting old but, I'm not going to pass it up. Glenn, 82 Hatch, rack being built into the roll bar.....:temper: 01 Forester, Factory rack :brow

Will they really make one for the front of an old Subaru for $350. Up front our options are "limited". That does not sound that bad given the choices........ :brolleye: Glenn, 82 Hatch, locked rear....... :temper: 01 Forester, limited all around......

Do you have a web site? Glenn, 82 Hatch...... 01 Forester.....

There's a few of us in Salt Lake City, Bout an hour from Evanston Wy. Glenn, 82 Hatch, well it used to be....... 01 Forester, still looks like a Forester....

I've used that spray on undercoating on all kinds of crap and had good results. I think, just like anything, it needs touch-up work over time to keep it up. I just did the buggy tank with that crap, it better last:madder: At one point I considered doing my whole car. My .02 Glenn, 82 Hatch, undercoated carpet. :temper: 01 Forester, not undercoated:cornfuzz:

Outbacks old and new! They're everwhere! None of the EA81's still left around here. Only seen three Bajas outside of the dealership. Glenn, 82 Hatch, the few the proud! The transforming?:temper: 01 Forester, still a minority round here.......:madder:

Just got back from a trip in the Forester. Went about 350 miles and got 25.5 miles per gallon. (doing 85mph windy with the A/C on) I was kinda suprised by how short the range was. I never checked the EPA or Factory specks on this vehicle but I was wondering if this is about what everybody else was getting? Glenn, 82 Hatch, great off-road car. 01 Forester, great on-road car.

It would make a great glass bottom for a rusty Suby. Just think you could look through the rust holes and not get wet! Glenn, 82 Hatch, transforming.....:temper: 01 Forester, jealous.........:madder:

Dave, Got Sawzall? ..................20 minutes tops! Depending on what your doing with the donor car it could be a great way to go! I did it and pulled the engine, crossmember, struts, wheels, tires, tranny all out in one shot.................Simple! once it's out it is much more managable. Just a thought:cornfuzz: Good luck! Glenn, 82 Hatch, transforming.......:temper: 01 Forester, jealous...........:madder:

Mine use to be on my steering column on those shiny brackets, .............................till I took it off:brolleye: I hope I can find it?...................... :cornfuzz: Mine might be with yours.........................Lost!:boohoo: Never mind, Glenn, 82 Hatch, If I only had a brain....:temper: 01 Forester, Don't touch me!

Seems at though I have proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that I don't know squat about my motor Now I have made a complete idiot out of myself, I think I'll get me one of them BIG cowboy belt buckles and go home now...... :moon: Ashamed of my knowledge (or lack there of) while in the presence of greatness Glenn, 82 Hatch, with gears and no belts.... 01 Forester, Hey what about me? 39k?

So is a chain and gear going to need maint after 21yrs? Or is it good for the long haul? :cornfuzz: :cornfuzz: :cornfuzz: :cornfuzz: :cornfuzz: I don't claim to know much about mechanics........ Glenn, 82 Hatch, transforming........:temper: 01 Forester,

I've had my 82 Hatch since it was a Pup. I was just reading a post about timing belts. I then put 2+2 together.:cornfuzz: I don't recall ever having replaced my timing belt? Is this a bad thing? (Has 120K and will be a recreational vehicle from this point on.) Thoughts, suggestions, insults? Glenn, Whoops! 82 Hatch, likes it's new body....:wave: 01 Forester, hasn't had a belt either?

My poor car was clean on the top side so......, I was undercoating it and noticed I was actually undercoating my carpet:boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: BUGGY TIME! Glenn, 82 Hatch, rust inspired Buggy!:temper: 01 Forester, better not rust!:madder:

Hatches had round headlights on the DL or standard series till at least 87. Gone by 89. http://usmb.net/gallery/album80/1987_j I think the 4 speeds left in 85 I thought Brats had the large rectangular and dual small rectangular only! I don't recall seeing a gen2 Brat with round lights. Anyone else? Glenn, 82 Hatch, transforming no lights yet.:temper: 01 Forester, polygon lights?

This is a brochure from the board. It confirms that the GL-10 package existed in an EA-81 and lists the options that it came with. I think your wife is right. A little upholstry cleaner wouldn't hurt the griz any?---Well it might take away a little character. Glenn, 82 Hatch,.....transforming (no options)...:temper: 01 Forester,.......loaded:banana:

The Subies are more properly classed as "Crossover Vehicles" not SUV's. Although didn't Subaru advertise the Forester as the First and Only SUV Wagon? A crossover vehicle is fine for 98% of the people out there. Good call on Subaru's part. However, I'm looking for something more (2%). A D/R tranny would serve me well. I'd be willing to pay more for the utility I would get out of it. I think you would find D/R Subies would sell at a premium price among Subarus. If they existed you could add larger tires, stiffer springs and do lifts (although I think driving skill is more importent) or what ever you want and it would work. I have taken my Forester climbing and found it just doesn't cut it. No matter how they advertise it (Outback? Forester?) it's not the Subaru that made Subaru popular. Outback..yard? Urban Forester? I'm preaching to the choir........ OFFER THE D/R TRANNY IN THE US!:boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: I'm preaching to the choir........ I'll shut up now. Glenn, 82 Hatch, with gears! 01 Forester, without gears!

My 2001 Forester does the same thing:mad: It's obnoxious to drive with the A/C on :mad: Let us know what you find!!!! Glenn, 82 Hatch, no A/C 01 Forester, obnoxious A/C

Aparently they corrected this by 82. I have a filter on the fire wall and a pump back by the gas tank. The Pump also has a filter mounted next to it. Sounds like your on the right track. For what it's worth, Glenn, 82 Hatch, transforming--think I'll change my filters while there out. 01 Forester, Filters? what filters?

I'm not sure what's happening from your description? Is your lock just turning with out effecting the latches? If this is what's going on, your nut on the backside of the lock just fell off or your linkage is disconnected? It would turn easy if this happend. Generally a lock will be more difficult to turn when the lock wears out as you are carving new tracks for the wafers to turn in. Being basically Cheap, I'd pull off your interior panel and have a look inside before I'd run out and purchase a new lock. You'd have to pull it off anyway, if you purchase a lock. Being basically real Cheap and not much of a Gentleman, If your LHS is worn out, I'd swap RHS and LHS locks?---only Gentlemen unlock the passenger side (RHS)anyway? Food for thought? Glenn, 82 Hatch, transforming.....:temper: 01 Forester, jealous.........:madder:

Shhhhhhh!! This is suppose to be TOP SECRET! They had been running in Steath mode so no one had seen them prior to this. The Government wouldn't even confirm their existance after 1988. That was the year when all production went into Official Government use and the public was no longer able to purchase them! I'm demanding a White House investigation to find out who leaked this. Nobody shred anything until this investigation is over! G.W.B.

Simple Install!!!!!!! You unplug a clip and undo a nut, it's out. You plugin and put the nut back, it's done. Don't pay a Dealer to install it!!!! I'm concerned, If your getting a honk your system is active, which means you have a keyless box? Mine never honked until the box was installed? Are Your batteries good? Does the LED light up when you press a button? I think my FCC code is for a 2001,2002 it is A269ZUA111. I think yours should be the same FCC number too. Good luck, Glenn, 82 Hatch, transforming.......:temper: 01 Forester, jealous...........:madder:
