Why wont it run... whats it doing? -Brian

Right, but which terminal is that? I see a mark on the gear, and a flat spot on the bottom of the disty, kinda like a point. The mark on the gear is between the pin that holds it to the shaft... its like a dimple in the gear, I assume im to line that up with the mark on the shaft? -Brian

Im reading Miles Fox's writeup on the EA82 Timing Belt installation, http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=50768 I've gotten the belts on, and now its time to put the disty back in. The Writeup mentions to turn the crank until the flywheel is at 0, and then install the disty. But, which position does the disty need to be in? On the EA81 there was a mark on the disty gear, and the shaft that had to be lined up... is the EA82 the same way? -Brian

Definatly! I better have the RX Done by then... if so, im in for sure. -Brian

Sounds like they already did replace everything. Just disconnect the hill holder cable from the clutch fork. -Brian

an old subaru seat makes playing GT4 100x more fun! -Brian

Wow reddevil. That FMIC looks great. Will we see it again at this years WCSS? -Brian

Forester and Legacy did it. FHI's webpage has info about it. -Brian

Supply power to the 2 wires, and put the end of the hose in some water or fuel. If it spits out the other end, the pump is working. -Brian

No matter how tight you may have got it, go back and check them in a week or so. They light to loosen up sometimes. I use the stand on 3' breaker bar trick too, works great every time. -Brian

Oh, i'd also like to point out that this is a daily swap for our mates overseas in Australia. If your really thinkin of going through with this, do a search on Google for the Backyard Boys Subaru board. Should be able to find alot of info there. Im serious about the brakes. I'd be a good idea to do the 5spd swap, xt6 brakes should be fine, much better than EA82 brakes by far... and i believe you are able to use some legacy or impreza parts on the suspension, which opens the window to plenty of strut/spring options. SubaruTex is the guy to talk to about that. -Brian

If your not gonna work on brakes, then DO NOT PUT 250HP in your EA82!!!! Stopping is more important than going fast. And yes... do the WRX tranny too, or you will be going through tranny's like tissue paper. -Brian

This is the boost gauge on my RX: -Brian

Here is where I put my CB: -Brian

I got one of those off ebay too. WHen i got it, i opened it and noticed the A pillar on the body was broken... both left and right SO i never took the time to build it. I also got a Gen1 brat off ebay and thats just sitting in the box too. Partially built. I should put them back on ebay -Brian

Wow... are you guys talking about car registration for yearly tags? Or what? LOL I think they base most the cost of the registration on the value of your car. My car has a salvage title, and even tho I paid $1000 for it, i put $125 on the title when i transfered ownership. Im just happy I dont have to smog the damn thing... i dont care how much California wants out of me... as long as i dont have to put the RX on another sniffer. I doubt its ever gonna pass again. -Brian

Got the dreaded DMV envelope in the mail today. Registration on the RX is almost up, and I was almost too affraid to open the letter. Almost certain its smog year was up, but to my relief all they need is proof of insurance and $54 for one more year of legal RX driving -Brian

Anyone know the part numbers, napa part numbers, for a clutch disk and throwout bearing on a EA82T? Also, those little hollow bolts that thread the coolant lines into the turbo? With crush washers i hope. Im hoping WJM or someone has replaced them enough times to have numbers memorized -Brian

Hey dude. I was in the garage today finishing up my motor. While bolting on the oil pan, i noticed all my heads had holes in them too!! OH NO I think they're supposed to be there: -Brian

Yup, i got a screenshot of it from the DVD collection i have: -Brian

maybe 1st & 2nd place trophies. -Brian

Ok kids, calm down. -Brian

I often thought to myself "hey, if I keep reving my engine to 5 grand its going to blow up" but out of 12 subarus that ive owned, the only thing to have blown up a motor was running it w/out oil. Never had an engine fail due to over revving, but you are right. It probably does decrease the life of the motor from 500,000 miles to around 300,000 miles -Brian

Yeah, why would you want to shift BEFORE 4grand? THats when the power turns on. -Brian
