  1. Yup! you heard it correct! One highly modified 1982 Subaru is there for the taking! ...and I mean highly modified... I was going to do more with it but time is against me. I'd like to see it go to a new home where it could be proudly displayed and appreciated. Maybe even make an occasional parade appearance? You could be a 1/4 owner of this classic vehicle and still own it outright? It takes up very little garage space and would look good nestled against the wall in the Shop or Garage? I have virtually all (or at least 1/4) the parts that are needed to finish the project. This would be great advertising for a Subaru Repair Shop? http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=584 Vehicle is free but you must "pick up".

  2. This weekend I was hooking up the trailer to the Forester to go out riding and as soon as I get out on the road, I find I have no clock and worst of all, I have no Stereo power? I checked under the dash, thinking I blew a fuse, nope! Switched fuses around, just in case I had a bad fuse, still no power. I unpluged the trailer lights, even though they say they are on a different fuse, still no power. I was in a Jam, NO TUNES! ...and I had done everything I could do while driving, my only other option was to pull over and I didn't want to do that! So... anyone want to take a stab at how to fix this one? I finally figured it out the next day but I thought posting this may help someone else save some time. Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer--clock but no stereo 84 GL Mad Max--clock but no stereo 01 Forester--now with working clock and stereo
  3. I guess I don't get it? The factory setup works fine and it's not in the way?
  4. Your car looks like it has a split personality. One side likes to be clean and proper:) and the other...
  5. Hummm.... P.M.'d you! Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 84 GL Mad Max 01 Forester
  6. So did the old automatics have a dual range? I assume not?
  7. It's past the end of the day... Answers please... ... ...
  8. That's in UTAH! There are no old Soobs in Utah? Don't tell anyone about this find!!! Got to keep this quiet we don't want anyone to know of this secret stash. The yard I go to in Salt Lake has only two Gen 2's left. What else is there? Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 84 GL Mad Max 01 Forester
  9. Now the 82 Hatch has been transformed into a Subaru-Hummer, I call it "Summer"! My 84 GL was a clean one owner but the problem was the previous owner was Mad Max, so the little road warrier is named "Mad Max". The Forester has no name at this point.
  10. Humm... A Gen II cut in half...why cut it in half...are we going to lengthen or shorten... My guess is a Clown Car with two front ends!
  11. I was just looking around Ebay and found this Juice Box Chip. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-98-99-0-01-02-03-04-05-Subaru-Forester-Chip-Module_W0QQitemZ8048571491QQcategoryZ33597QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem It says it will NOT work on Forester Turbo or Diesel engines. I was a little disappointed when I read that. Does anyone know where I can get one for my Diesel Forester:lol:!
  12. I'm tearing up just a bit:mad: Hurts to see, what was once, a nice old Brat, totaled. I have to go I can't look at this anymore....:-\ Sniff, Sniff...
  13. Welcome to the board, I think your in the right place...:cool: Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 84 GL Mad Max 01 Forester
  14. Or is it Winter meets Summer:confused: We have not had any good snow storms in a longtime. I've been waiting forever for a good dump to take Summer out and play:banana: We got dumped on the other day. No cars were moving, streets were solid ice, no one was getting anywhere so... I got Summer out and went playing on the streets... Who's going to catch me?:-p Had a great time in my Subaru-Snowmobile! Here's a link to some pics http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=584 Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 84 GL Mad Max 01 Forester
  15. 11/79 would definately be a 1980 model year. The new models roll into the showroom in September. Now, What vehicle are we talking about:confused:
  16. Weld it! Turn corners gradually. Remove an axle for long term city use. You'll be fine.
  17. Have you been to the San Rafael Swell? It's just west of Moab. Always occcupied with Subies and mountain bikers. Great scenery and a Forester could do anything in the area. Lots of powersliding and drifting opportunitys:lol: http://www.ut.blm.gov/sanrafaelswell/objectsofinterest/1700-present.htm Google for it and see if it's what your looking for? Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer--wants to go the the San Rafael 84 GL Mad Max--wouldn't make it there. 01 Forester--been there done that, heading back in shortly.
  18. Weld the rear for a Lincoln Locker then... Do the Dual Ebrake thing and you'll have a limited slip up front. You'll never spin a tire again! http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=6002&cat=500&ppuser=584 Good Luck! Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 84 GL Mad Max 01 Forester
  19. You have plenty of resources (board members) in your area if you get stuck. So...what kind of parts don't you need on your 84... Welcome to the board, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 84 GL Mad Max 01 Forester
  20. Keep it oiled and the motor will outlast the body:burnout: I'm currently working on my second body... Welcome to the board. Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 84 GL Mad Max 01 Forester
  21. I'd give it plugs and a distributor cap & rotor, then see what happens:rolleyes: Maybe wires while your there...
  22. If the heated seats were offered as an option in 97, I'd bet there are hookups in the existing wiring harness. I'd remove some carpeting and plastic and see what is hiding below the seating area? If there is wiring under the seat then the wiring to the dash is already done:banana: Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 84 GL Mad Max 01 Forester--every option I've added was pre-wired by the factory.
  23. Complete with a owners manual in the background! Why has a thread about something so pointless gone on for sooo long?
  24. The 4speed has a one piece driveline The 5speed has a two piece driveline The depending on your needs the year the 4speed may have better gearing?
  25. Yes that button controls the light on the dash and nothing else. If the light stays on, I'd check the wire right below the switch (should be just one). See if it's snug. May be time to get a new switch from the JY? Reading your story on 4high and 4low, I'd suspect that the shift lever needed some adjustment to get the proper throws for shifting into all gears. I have to wonder if it wasn't bent a bit? Good luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer--complete with 4wd dash light and switch. 84 GL Mad Max--never goes out of 4wd! 01 Forester--4low light never comes on?
