  1. Sorry, I have no idea. In cases like this I usually go to the pub to get drunk As I posted about my power windows earlier... those are still not fixed as well. I just can't deal with electronics which have at least one relay in it
  2. Thanks for the pics to everyone! I think I'll go with the Momos or the Grants.
  3. It's easy for me at least, I have some friends in here, and their daily job is milling and turning (lathing). I only have to get some raw material and they will do the adaptor in 2 hours for 5 beers.
  4. Thanks! Could you please post the type/brand of the wheel?
  5. Hello all, I'm back after a long time (OK, it's only 2 months ). Now we are just doing the bodywork, and when it's finished, I want to install a new (well, at least for me) steering wheel. The original is worn down very well, that's why I want to change. I don't have any ideas what kind of wheel I want yet, what looks cool in the blue EA-82 interior (the dashboard is black, but everything else is blue), and what is great to grip. I'm interested in other Subaru wheels also, I don't want to buy aftermarket wheel if not necessary. So please post your pics about your custom steering wheels! Thanks, Alf
  6. It was the same for me, but we sit on the engine together with my wife Congrats on your success!!
  7. I still can't download the manual, is this problem only for me ? ? Help me please!
  8. Thanks! The only problem is that the link doesn't work for me, it drops me to the main page of http://www.web1000.com Any other locations, please? Thanks in advance!
  9. For the oil pump: the first time I used a lot of liquid seal around the mickey mouse. I don't recommend that now. If too many seal is added, than the pump's surface doesn't fit well to the engine block's, so my mickey torn after some turns of cranking. After that I used only 4 little points of the liquid, at the ears and at the bottom of the mickey-head. That helped, the gasket was nicely stayed at it's place and the surfaces met perfectly, and oil leaks gone. The crankshaft seal: I didn't change that yet, it wasn't needed, but it seems very easy. If you have the pulley and the timing belts off, take off the two sprockets (the manual says they come off by hand), and then you can pull the seal ring off with a bent screwdriver. Be sure to fit and install the new seal perfectly, it can be seated wrong easily, and you can start the whole thing from the beginning. Hope this helps.
  10. Hmm... I've just measured, I'm getting 32 mpg (not mistyped!) on highway with factory original Hitachi carb... I'll wait a little with the efi conversion.
  11. Mine was also like you described, when the ignition timing was incorrect. Be sure to set it properly, and to use good spark plugs. I also would check the fuel filter and the fuel pump operating pressure. Hope this helps!
  12. Yesterday evening I've finished this job! Ticking of death is gone, oil leaks gone, engine runs like a dream! I would like to thank all the members in here for the help or just wishing me luck! What I did exactly: changed everything (starting from the cylinder head) on the driver's side of the engine, and put on a used, but great condition oil pump.
  13. I had the same story on my. Timing and everything was OK, but the engine didn' rev so well, and the idle was also rough. Measured the pressure in each cylinder, and that showed that something is wrong in the heads. 1 valve was bent, and 1 valve seat was dropped out, also the heads were extremely cracked. Which I don't understand, is how could the engine start and run easily with these problems?? A simple pressure tester is a good help if you have no ideas what could be wrong.
