The PnP in carson city is off of 50 headed away from Tahoe. There are maps at http://www.pickandpull.com That 90 Loyale will have almost nothing that you need, other than the engine. I wish you woulda been on the board about 2 months ago, i had a 1989 GL10 Turbo Wagon that was rotting here. Had the FT4WD 5spd with center diff lock (AWD with locking center pretty much), EA82T, plush interior... everything but the LSD. Woulda let it go cheap, but the state towed it. -Brian

Family 1st buddy. We know your not gonna disapear on us. Good luck with everything -Brian

Actually, you kinda really need the sway bar. It helps the car perform better, and reduces understeer. -Brian

Its not the sensor thats bad, my guage is bad. If i put the stock sensor back in, i have no idea how hot my engine is running. -Brian

I installed an aftermarket coolant temp guage, and it came with its own manual temp sensor. I had to remove the stock sensor and unplug it of course. Now when i drive the car for more than 10 or 15min, my ECS light comes on. Ive plugged the plug back into the stock temp sensor, and that solved the problem for a while, but now its back. Is there anyway to bypass this? -Brian

The boggers look awesome, and would look great on your rig, but for the wheeling your going to do in AZ the Goodyears are the way to go. A buddy of mine has a set on his CJ7, and runs them below 5psi (with beadlocks of course) and can go over anything with them. -Brian

YEah, with the EA82T you gotta keep it near 3000-4000 to make power. Not sure what will happen if you run past redline, but as long as you dont do it every day for a prolonged amount of time i dont think much damage can come of it. Dont quote me on that tho. -Brian

Is it a carbbed EA82? Or MPFI/SPFI? If its carbbed, put a weber on there. -Brian

Duh! Just saw the part# in the post -Brian

That sounds like a sweet deal. Is there a part number or something I can use to buy it locally? Cant really wait for S&H. Do they require a pressure regulator? -Brian

Should I just stick with a stock Subaru fuel pump then?? -Brian

Well... the frikken Wagon died again last night on my way home from work. Definatly a fuel problem. Not sure if its the Carb or the Fuel pump.... so im replacing both. Ive already decided to get a Weber, so that will be on order very soon. But, i need to get a fuel pump ASAP, so i'd like to get one that will keep my weber happy. What is the standard PSI for EA81 fuel pumps?? Anyone know? And what would be a good PSI to keep the weber running at peak performance? -Brian

Brian. Head to the Pick-n-pull in Carson city. They have alot of Gen1 cars from time to time, even seen some Gen1 Coupes and sedans that might be better suited as a racer than a Wagon. I refuse to sell the '78 as parts. The car is too straight and clean to part it out. But i wouldnt mind seeing it being turned into a racer. I myself was thinking of doing the same thing to it. I had a Fulltime 4WD 5spd with center diff lock, but it was towed by the state for not being regg'd. So now i dont have the tranny. I also had plans on building a EA81T but cant find one. Anyhow... i'll let you know if any leads develope. -Brian

Not to mention the car has been rolled! I dont think there's anything jared HASNT done to the car. -Brian

I believe to be smog exempt, the car has to be 30yrs old. So it would have to be pre-'74 at this point. 2006 you could do pre-'76 Good luck finding a chassi tho. There's a dude in Grass Valley that has an automotive shop. He has two 360's sitting out front. Ive stopped and talked to him, and he mentioned he used to have a FF1 and a few GLF's etc... Also, there's a guy who lived in Northern Nevada/California (cant remember where right now) who had a '76 4WD Wagon that needed a new engine. Body was 100%. He wanted $200 for it, but i couldnt find a way to get it back to sacramento. That was about a year ago. Not sure what he ended up doing with the car. Maybe i'll contact him and let you know what happens. I get funny looks in my lifted wagon as well... but its not as big as your MB, and only has 75hp. Talk about slow. -Brian

How would you know anything about having a 8" lift John? You've never seen anything like it in your life. I however had a brief chance to wheel with jared and his rig, and i'm sure that car will last a very long time. You going to limp it to LV Jared? -Brian

Oh yeah... and is this your rig? I saw this parked next to Pick N Pull a few months ago. Cant be very many like it. Looks like its a Mercedes on a Toyo Frame. If so, very nice work. -Brian

I live in sacramento, not too far from P.Pines at all. As a matter of fact, i just came into a cherry '78 Wagon. Same body style, has a 1600cc 4WD 4spd. Contact me and we can talk -Brian

Shouldnt have to. -Brian

That post looks REAL close to the tire. Looks like you need a lift Car's looking great tho. -Brian

everything i know about racing, i've learned from Gran Turismo. Now that im closer to Laguna Seca and Sears Point (or whatever its called now) I'll have to look into some racing classes and courses -Brian

I would do some experimenting with the headlight assembly and the grill setup. See if you can bolt the entire headlight assembly from the donar car onto your Hatch. Not sure what the metal on the Hatch looks like, you might need to make 2 openings to fit the high beams. You'll also need to get the wiring figured out as well. -Brian

Just swap for coil overs. Might be a cop out, but will fix the problem perminatly. If you replace or repair them, there's always a chance they'll go out again. -Brian

get a set of 8mm wires... i got a custom fit set for a V8, and cut mine to size. They work great with my coil... both are made by Accel. Also, get NGK plugs, the best for our sube's. -Brian

guess not. My '84 GL has one, '83 GL had one, as a matter of fact, all the wagons ive had have had one, but ive never owned a DL. -Brian
