you should be able to reach around the latch in front of the car and either find the broken cable and pull it or theres a lever it attaches to you can pull. Get a mirror to look at the backside of that latch area and you;ll get it.

we removed the panel for the fuel level sender, carefully, and then you have enough room to look inside. theres a mesh sock around the tank outlet, might as well get a coathanger or something and tear that out, it may look like a small sandman at this point. Now I didn't believe the gravel cleanout would work but it worked great. Put some gravel in the tank, like a couple shovels full. Then get a friend and shake that tank with the gravel all around. You'll then dump the gravel and a bunch of the powdered mess in your tank.

I added some 99 outback seats in my loyale. I think the main reason the seat sets you up higher is the extra padding in the newer seats. The ea82 seats are pretty much glorified lawn chairs. I was able to move the seat back further on the ea82 rails which helped quite a bit. The drivers seat was able to be mounted lower as I had to hack out the height adjustable stuff. I've noticed the passenger seat sits a little higher and longer bodied passengers are pretty close to the roof. The newer seats barely squeezed in with the center console.

I would try and get a look inside the gas tank before firing it up. Those tanks get lots of corrosion above the gas line so if it didn't have much gas and you end up putting more in it, its going to possibly clog up all your lines, filter, carb once you get it going and then back to square one cleaning all that out. Did the exact same thing with a gl wagon that sat 10 years without running. Ended up having to drop the tank, fill with clean gravel, shake and clean out that residue.

check the ebrake on your front wheel thats hard to turn. I've had on side stick. You should also look at ball joints and tie rod ends for play. Even sway bar links

Check the u joint from steering shaft to your rack. I've had that wear out and it caused a little binding and flip flopping of the steering wheel.

undo one end of your u joint off the splines, go back into car, straighten wheel, then put ujoint end back on. you'll have to loosen both ends of the ujoint to get it to slide off. Probably same way you installed it.

thats one from my area. I know if you'd stuff larger tires on it with the single range, it won't crawl, it'll be tall gearing. We even have a dual range with lift and big tires and it wont climb anything close to the stock dual range wagon with stock tires. Tall tires, tall gearing. My nephew called about that $400 wagon couple weeks ago but never got a call back. I suspect head gasket as well.

Sometimes the little peg on the latch that gets moved when you pull the cable gets bent from slamming the trunk. You can rebend it straight.

I bought a used stock head unit with the auxilliary input. I believe they were in early legacy's. My 91 Legacy has it. seller was on legacycentral.org

yes, worthwhile product. Easy to install.

I bought some last year at www.jayracing.com he had them in stock for the ea82. Company is in Indiana.

Some midwest subarus Then my nephew picked this 85 lifted RX up. I see that its got some documented info on this site. Its Roxy from mykingcrab's build. I've been in touch with Mykingcrab about some of the details of the build. Nephews a body guy and painter so hopefully some of the bodywork gets straightened out.

The distributor gets hot and stops working best I can tell. I blasted mine with a freezing spray when it was hot and wouldn't start. Fired right up when its cooled down

Hmmm, Sounds like when my distributor went south.

We've got a couple blown 3eat tranny's from an 83 gl turbo and 84 gl wagon. I also know how hard it is to come by parts in our area. That said, I believe there'll be some spare parts from the 84 wagon depending on what you need. My nephew was just in your area and picked up a lifted 85 RX sedan for $800 so you're fine on price. Personally, especially after looking into the parts and labor to convert, I'd wait for the manual vs getting the auto now.

what car do you have? I had my dash lights go out on the loyale as well as the running lights on exterior too. If that's your situation, its one of the 4 relays behind the dash, almost directly behind the fuse box.

I've had good luck using Rust's winch and keeping the hood latched while you pull. Use something solid behind the hood latch to attach to. Aim that car at a tree and use the winch, and tree to undo the damage. Basically just a reverse accident is what your looking to create. if you keep the hood connected and latched when you do this, youll most likely be able to open/close that hood normally.

My buddy has his injector wires go bad on his ea81T. Check em out. He just tugged/squeezed the injector wires and it idled differently.

Thanks, that's option 1 right now. HAHA.

I'm hoping to finish up an 83 4WD turbo wagon for my friend who was killed this past weekend. I'd love to finish this car up for his wife/widow. I'm in St. Louis, MO and willing to travel throughout the Midwest to get an automatic transmission for this car. Or if you have one and willing to ship it, that would work as well.

I did a similar seat upgrade with some 99 outback seats in my loyale. I ended up using the loyale rails and just bolting the new seat onto the rails, Was able to use stock seat belts and even moved the seat back an inch and half for more leg room. Seats are a great upgrade.

Those look exactly like the metric ones I bought. Mine came with new unused tires (well, new in the 80's), Michelin Gravel Rally tires and 2 spares. If you don't have metric tires, its tough to find any to purchase. It was a gamble getting them.

I gave Jay Racing a call with the part number I found and they had them. Not sure I ever looked them up on the site.

They offer the superpro bushings in the US. I got some last year at www.jayracing.com they were in stock.
