  1. junkie you are using silicone hose to the turbo right? standard rubber line will not hold up to he heat. trust me on that one.
  2. hey come on. we all have had that DOH! moment before. Junkie was just kind enough to share it with us all:drunk:
  3. good pics. well I have to say people are going to recomend using the search function first. lift yes you can. many ways to do it. EA82 and EA82T yes there are some changes. what area of the car are you concerned about?
  4. terminals are outside the tank. but the problem will most likely be the unit in the tank. Its really easy to change. ther is an acess port in the rear under the carpet. you can get to it from there. I just recently changed mine fixed my crappy readings. I think my dealer parts guy said I got one of the last ones in the system. with my hook up price it was around 80$. you can go by miles if you want. your tank should hold almost 14 gallons if i am not mistaken.
  5. Holms that is Awesome! that is exactly what we needed. That is a decent price too. the bearing recieves little to no oil from the engine. only the lower bushing does. a decent 6200 sealed bearing shold run you about 5 to 8 bucks. get the ones with nitrill seals if you can. dont waste you time on the 2.99 cheapies. as a side note I saw the lower bushing on sale from the NAPA web site. both my bushings were in excelect condition so I reused them. well my offer stands. I will rebuild a doner EA82 EFI distributor for somone for the cost of parts and shipping so I can do a write up with pics for our site here. I already have a good spare here so I dont need any more myself.
  6. mmm.... no the minimal drag it would have had would really not be noticeable in my opinion. that is of course when the A/C was inop and not used. it was really more about ease of acess. removing it is a pain in the rear. if it off already then no wories next time you need to get to that stupid little hose or remove the intake. thats all.
  7. it did not work and was in the way. might as well lighten it up a bit and make acess to other components simpler.
  8. I have run with one belt just fine and I have installed a shorter belt after a/c removal. a carquest 7340 worked just fine for me on the 87 RX
  9. thanks all for the kind words about my little wagon. Its a pain in the rear but has been really good to me overall. its up to 243,xxx miles now. think it might just make a few more. just about everything has been rebuilt or will be soon. I was considering moving up to an impreza outback sport or a forester but I think I might be better of sticking with what I have. Junkie- abut the road trip up north. I have not decided yet. It really depends on the two W's (work and wife). It would be fun.
  10. this is so true. Is it not hiding behind the head gasket? I had this happen to me one time too.
  11. it should fit. I would keep the F.I. personally. more relyable.
  12. 15" pug aloys painted semigloss black(VHT wheel paint) center capless.
  13. we didnt intend on going up as far as Utah actually. That was just to chase some fresh powder. I did stop to visit one subaru guy but thats because I am buying a car from him and sme spare parts. Soon I will be on a mission to new mexico and back to pick it up. That trip will be strictly bussiness. It looks like we will be running with a borrowed F350 with a trailer as my toyota turbo diesel project is going slower than expected. yeah wife says we dont spend enough quality time together.:-\
  14. like he said. just about all the subarus I have seen use this method. new ones too.
  15. a "tune up" is a far simpler job than Tbelt replacement in my opinion. not that Tbelts are that hadr to do. are you shure its the timing belts "singing" and not the drive belts? just a warning. 13 years ago I started taking auto classes because I wanted to learn how to fix my own cars better. Now I am a journeyman mechanic. I just wanted a hobby not a life long job.(mechanics never leave work) oh yeah changing c/v boots sucks. Its a messy job to say the least. Thats why many of us just swap out axles.
  16. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=8871&size=big&cat=&ppuser=632 my rallyX RX lights. came that way when I bought the car. now I just need some decent 8" rally lights to fill the cut outs in the bumper. I rember a long while back. a fellow from overseas was selling a set of subaru EA82 housings that used H4s and had better reflectors/glass. I really wish I had some money at that time.
  17. your rear seat flips up real easy. subarus have a small strap that you pull to release the latch on the back edge of the seat. go ahead and look under there. dont be afraid just start chasing the fuel line untill you find the leak.
  18. ah wait. its a justy? I assumed it was an EA motor.:-\ just replace the water pump.the dont cost that much. a compression test would be a good thing to do if you are not sure of the motors internal condition in addition to pressure testing the cooling system.
  19. overseas in Switzerland legacys were a common sight as cop cars.
  20. run without coolant is always bad. there is an oring seal at the water pump and a small hose attaced to the block that may be the suspects as well.
  21. the fuel lines run along the inside of the body and them go thru the grommit to the fuel pump. correct repair would be a pain in the rear. you may be able to get by temporarily with wraping a section of split hose over the hole and applying a clamp otherwise you really need to replace the whole metal line assy.
  22. well I have seen it before in rally X. the guy entered the thing in open class 4wd if I rember correctly. He talked so much smack about how he was going to clean up on the track. well the rest of us were just out to have fun and found him rather amusing. At the end of the day I (and quite a few others) beat the little guy by a decent margin. He just split, never to be seen again. yes I am sure you could build up a justy to handle some rally action and do well. they shows up here from time to time. but dont expect to have a first place machine just because its small and light.
  23. thanks Caleb. If I had a donation of a bad distributor I would go ahead and do a little write up with pics. I bet the bearing could be purchased at a regular parts store too as long as you got the right part number. bearings like this are often used as pilot bearings or idler bearings. as for MAFs. well all I can really do there is clean a dirty MAF. but anyone can do that. If someone has a source for affordable NEW distributor sensors please pipe up here.
  24. actually I like to funnel bugs into my engine. It gets a little extra fuel mileage that way. yes its a wrx TMIC to go with the TD04 turbo. previously designed to fit my VW intercooler that was with the stock turbo. If you look in my picture gallery you can see some pics of the set up. I dont know Buddy. My wife gets a bit upset if I spend too much time with other car nutz. your still a young single cat. someday you will understand. the trip was awesome. there were more pics but they were a bit crappy because they were from a disposible camera after the battery in my digital died. at one point we climbed one canyon dirt road that scaled a cliff by zig zaging up the face. near the top there was ice on the path and a drop of who knows how many feet off the side. I have a pic of myself on the top of it. we also went caving in Arizona. camping in moab. and lots and lots of driving. as the saltlake pic shows we barred thru a few nasty storms. a caravan of subarus and or other vehicles would be safest for some of the off road adventures. I have been real lucky to be able to fix breakage on the trail but some day I will be stuck good if I am not carefull.
