the sucker king

yes i did ed. i pm'd you and we'll work it out from there.

it is now a CONFIRMED pain in the rump roast. removing the windshield was a great idea that i would not have thought of on my own. thank you. maybe it should have takin me 30 minutes after that, but it didn't. it took a lot longer. let's just leave it at that. i'm glad i did it though. this dash is beautiful. i'm going to put it in when i get around to replacing my windshield. that will not only help with those top bolts, but manuevering it around will be a lot easier. again thanks for the help.

also in the news today police in japan found a skeliton in pajamas on a matress in an abandonned building. the guy stopped showing up for work.......20 YEARS AGO! no kidding.

the only straight-ish would be an ea71 (1600cc), i think. and there would be bell housing issues in that you would need a ea71 bellhousing from a post 84? ea71 engine.

ok i won't touch it, unless it's still there at close (they close at noon or one on saturdays ya know) in which case i'll grab it and offer it up to ed. in fact ed, i owe you a favour i said i would send you a shirt for a delinquncy on my part a while back. do you remember? well i do. it looks like one way or another you'll get an lsd. if it's still there, which i must say there are a lot of 510 guys roaming the denver yards. but hey, fingers crossed.

it let's air into the manafold when decelerating. it's either for better gas mileage or to prevent backfiring or both. and i think it's why my car has been backfiring since i put a weber on.

if your talking about Colorado Auto Parts off of south sante fe,, i can tell you that i've bought 2 diffs from them. one time for $50 and one time for $75. if you buy it there don't go to the young prick with the bald dome, go to one of the older dudes. if you decide you don't want it ($75 or $50 plus $25 to ship plus 1/2 hour to pull might be more than you were hoping) let me know, cause i'm going there saturday and i'll buy it if not. but if you all want it i won't lay a greasy paw upon it. if i run into you rsm, i'll say hello.

maybe it's like the gl 5 but with crappy seats? are they vinyl? i've had a 1980 hatch std and a 1980 "1800 dl automatic" hatch. i am interested in where the dl5 fits in. what about the guage cluster? i'll bet you have a very rare subaru there. that and 35 cents gets you a phonecall. i'll bet it's just like my "1800 dl automatic" only with a ea71 with manual trans. what's the headlight situation? square or round?

thanks for all the replies. as i suspected, it sounds like a huge pain in the rump roast. so i guess i'll do it then. any tips on removing the one from the junkyard (man i hope it's still there) ie: anything that will save me some time? gd- i just may take the whole harness as you suggested, or maybe i'll talk to you later about that cluster. corky- i think it's an 86 gl hatch. do what you can. much apreciated. my email is meatpile@earthlink.net mick- i owe you money. i know that. now would seem like a good time to pay you huh? don't be afraid to threaten me. i respond well to threats.

i found an uncracked dash for my hatch in a junkyard. i'm wondering if this is worth it. i tried taking a dash out once with no instruction, got frustrated and gave up. now i've looked over the fsm instructions and it seems straight forward. who has done it? how much time? how many curses? also, this dash is from a late ea81 hatch. mine is a 1980. they are quite different. i know the later one will fit, but how much trouble am i buying. the guage cluster is not digital, i assume the connections are all compatable. the clusters do not swap right? if i take the dash i take the cluster. what's involved in hooking up the tach, i don't have one now, but the new dash would have one.

the carbs on mine look like the standard 28/30s. is there a model # stamped on the carbs somewhere?

i was told that the jdm motor had different heads and cam. i can't notice a difference in my heads, and i haven't cracked the block yet to look at the cam.

is it the springs and only the springs that you swap?

let me be the first to say ........ THANK YOU !!!!!

there were 1800 dl's in 1980, too

i got it. send me your email adress and i'll send it to you tonight.

wow. thanks for the links.

i see you're online. you in colorado yet?

eewwww. that's kind of a funky bra. kinda slingshotty.

i read that water injection wouldn't help a carbed car accept for those with really high compression. but...... this guy where i work put two water injecton systems on two cars friday and was blown away by the results of both. the first was a store bought kit wich went on a carbed buick regal from the 80's. the guy who sold the kit said it would help ANY car to get more power and better mileage. the second he put on his own truck, a fuel injected chevy from the 90's. this set up he built with a valve he had and $14 worth of hardwear store stuff. both cars got a very noticable increase in power. if it could help a regal, why not an ea81? turbo cars are supposed to get the most benefit from this. anybody tried it on a turbo subaru?

there isn't a whole lot available in that size outside of allweather radials. unstudded cooper weathermasters would do you great on road and off, but they ain't cheap.

well i've driven it since saterday and it actually rides fine. in fact it no longer pulls to the right. in a couple weeks i'll replace both sides and get an allignment

what kind of car are you gonna put it on?

rocking horse poo is very rare.

if your friend wants to sell it let me know! john
