Great videos, It's amazing where these little things can go! I only wish I was there to share in the mud:grin: Glenn, -
I fixed my car with vacuum cleaner parts!!!
Sweet82 replied to Frank B's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Somethings not right? A household vacuum is 120 volts AC. A car is 12 volts DC? Humm....that does not make sence:confused: -
Welcome, It's pretty hard to stump the board on Subie issues. I've been saved many a time by help form the board. Great place to get answers. Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 84 GL Mad Max 01 Forester

Congrats! Your old pictures make it look nice. It's always good to get a project to the down hill side! -
This all sounds so hauntingly familiar:rolleyes: Your not building a Rhino are you?

Welcome to the board! Has the car had a history of smog problems? If the cat is still usable, I'd still use it, replace the pipes and put on a muffler. If you find you really do have some problems, try doing a search and see what other folks have done. The SubaruJunkie (lives near you) had a few problems getting his wagon passed the smog police a while back. He may have some insight as to getting it to pass, if it has problems. My 82 has CA emissions on it and never had a problem with smog. Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer--Never a problem 84 GL Mad Max--Needed an air suction valve to pass emissions. 01 Forester--Cleaner than clean

Welcome to the Board! Rust, Rust and more Rust. Short of that, it's a Subaru--nothing to worry about! Ok, what I'd really look for are the expensive things to replace. I'd look for warn or noisy CV joints, a corroded exhaust system the same tires all the way around with tread, a motor that sounds good and mileage under 300,000. Good Luck, Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 84 GL Mad Max 01 Forester

Sweet82 replied to 75subie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Truely a car anyone would be proud to drive! They don't make-um like that anymore. Keep good care of that little gem! Score! -
I can smell your jealousy from here
Sweet82 replied to Nug's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
How can we be sure if it really has all the rust and other exciting options with out pics? You could have purchased a non-perfect wagon and are trying to deceive us by claming its perfect? We need pics! -
Great pics, So do you always take the doors off? Are they pinned or are you bolting and unbolting? Looks Great! Glenn

Hill Holder repair question
Sweet82 replied to Petersubaru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
What part of the hill holder is leaking? You may have a "dual diagonal" braking system depending on the year. Be careful what you seal off you may loose part of your braking system? -
I'll cast one vote for... If it's not broke...Don't fix it! Do the water pump and be happy. It's easy...at least on my EA81... My bolts were stiff and I broke one (Hint: always turn the right direction). Fix it and be gone...

Feels like axles are binding in 4WD
Sweet82 replied to Anthenium's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Your car is fine! Keep it that way! Stay off Dry pavement in 4WD. You might also check to make sure your tires are all inflated correctly and that they are all same size? -
Complete heart & lung transplant from a Forester STI Oh ya, got to get the Austrailian D/R tranny in there somewhere. A mild lift the accomidate some beefy tires. Pimp-my-ride gets to come visit Mad Max for a little facelift. Summer gets a more powerful Subie motor and custom lower gears with the drive components to back it up!

Do we have to limit this to just one of the Subarus we own? I think most of us have this problem:lol:

Checking the antifreeze level is not as easy as you may think. There are high points in the cooling system that allow air to get trapped. You have to "burp" your system to get all the air out. Keep monitoring it over time and it will eventually work it's way out. Don't let your overflow reservoir go dry. Keep it up to get the bubble out of the system.

Noisy interior
Sweet82 replied to Leg93's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
I have a tranny whinne but road noise is not bad? I also have a wind noise ever since my door was hit. But as for just general interior noise, I can't complain too much. If you have too much interior noise, I'd suspect tires... If your on I-15 with the concrete lanes you'll get more noise than on asphault no matter what tire you have.
