Mick, you should open a Brat's Only parts store. Im sure you have enough parts now to make a profit. -Brian

I put a new PCV valve in this car about 6 months ago, the last time it was driven daily. I got it from Kragen, but it helped alittle. I noticed alot of the hoses under the car are cracked real bad. The hose leading from the drivers side valve cover is completly missing. I think im going to goto the junkyard and grab some new(er) hoses unless i find a deal somewhere for a spool of hoses thats the right diameter. -Brian

Nope, not unless you swap it with the Dual Range full time 4WD 5spd from a RX. -Brian

Not yet Jack. I havent prepped it to sell. If i took pix of it right now, i would probably get $3.50 for it. Patience -Brian

I dont think im going to need another one corky, but thanks for the offer. I'm curious as to what the oil in the turbo means?? I have to fix a fuel line before i can crank it over for a compression test, but im worried about the oil i found in the turbo. Will the turbo need to be replaced, or resealed, or is that just normal? -Brian

Skip, the way you said that makes me think the Hot Wire MAF is either desired to have, or at least pictures of one. Let me know if you want more detailed shots. That idle control works, and almost too good. As long as I can glue it on and not worry about it blowing something up, im cool with that. Thanks Skip. -Brian

There are only 2 styles, Gen1 and Gen2. Both gen's should all share the same rear gate for each gen. (ie, 82 should swap with 86, and 77 should swap with 80, but not between Gen's) Not sure about dimensions. But Gen1 is 77,78,79,80 & 81, Gen2 is 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87 & 88. -Brian

If you search for a local Cooper dealer, you can probably find a dealer with a set of the 14" STT's. I found 3 mom & pop tire dealers in sacramento that had at least 1 set of the 205/75R14's in stock. I ended up putting a hole in one of them while driving through a creek yesterday. So I have to find another. Since everyone is going to larger rims on their off-road rigs (the reason its hard to find them online) there should be some left on the shelf for me oh and, since the tires have been sitting on the shelf collecting dust, the dealer was happy to sell them to me. I think i paid $77ea mounted and ballanced after tax. -Brian

I have the GL10 Turbo wagon in the garage, and i pulled the intake plentum off (i believe thats what its called) and found myself confused. I know the basic's. But theres alot i still dont know about the EA82, and expecially the EA82T. The engine looks very clean overall, im suprised. Its been sitting for 4 months, and has webs everywhere, but not much oil. I noticed the turbo had some oil residue pooled up around the rubber tube though. I took a picture of the engine, and marked some sections i have questions on. 1st off, I think its safe to say, the intercooler goes between point A and point B... correct? I noticed alittle oil inside of point A, but the throttle body was very clean. What is the purpose of the hose marked C? I noticed it goes into the plentum, is it neccessary? Also, part D looks like it might be damaged. The top was off and I noticed a red and black wire inside. Tried to put the top of it on, but its real loose, not sure if its been damaged, but what does it do? and can it be modified Since this car is in my garage, i figure'd i'd wrench alittle and learn alot. I plan to make this car fast. Skip and SubaruTex, there is alot i have to ask you guys After its fast, i will sell it off to someone on the USMB (prefferably in Oregon or Washington, where there is no smog) -Brian

Ive come to the conclusion i will fix it and sell it. Its sitting in my garage right now. Who wants to buy it? After its running of course. -Brian

Toyota, Chevy, any standard 6 lug rim can be made to fit our Subaru's -Brian

I got my 5 pugs for $80, if they were 14" steels, i could have gotten all 5 for $60. The chevy rims will look cooler tho. Some other tires to look for are Super Swamper SSR's & SST i believe. They're avail in 27-29" on 14" and 15" rims. -Brian

Yeah, pugs or Toyo rims -Brian

Ken, your tires are only 27"???? Wow, they look alot bigger than that. Mine are 26", i run them on a 3" lifted wagon with no rubbing. I cut the front and rear of my fender to clear alittle, but did not need to cut anything off the top of the fender... and my struts and suspension are cranked down all the way (not up). Boz, i'll setup an account for you and PM you with the info. no need to resize, the gallery will do it for you. -Brian

Yeah, i no longer have admin rights on the USMB. but the gallery isn't hosted with the USMB, the gallery is actually hosted on my private server, using software i setup I gave Shawn admin rights to the gallery to create users. I will fix yours and PM you with the info. -Brian

If the engine doesnt run, then I wouldnt buy it. $500 is WAY too much for a EA81T that isn't guarantee'd to run. THe major problem with the motors are cracked heads. Have them start that car, listen to it run, then hand them the cash. It would be alot of work to fit into your '80 hatch, but it would be a fun car afterward. -Brian

And also... no, the front and rear hubs are different. -Brian

Actually Ken, The only one's who can set him up with an account are Shawn and I. Shawn seems real busy lately, so chances are the only one who would be able to do it would be me. You can attatch files to your post tho if you have an image you want to share. -Brian

Dont bother, you wont get them from TireRack. They are on backorder and Kumho has no intention to make them any longer. I ended up going with Discoverer STT's from Cooper. Check out their site (not sure what the addy is) but i was able to find them for $77ea mounted and ballanced from a local Cooper dealership. -Brian

Check it out... Evidence there WAS a Turbo Justy in existance: Its called a REX, but modelled after a early model Justy, and its listed in the descripion with Turbo as an option. -Brian

SWEEEEEEEEEEET!!! I cant wait. I was thinking of having it coated with rhino lining or line-x... or that do-it-yourself bed liner. -Brian

OOOOO OOOOO OOO!!!! Are pix of my rack up?!? BRB -Brian

Yeah, i got proven wrong over the weekend in Oregon. Tony has a GL10 with 27" mudders and a 2" rear lift. He welded his diff and went everywhere me and Adam went, and alot faster too might I add. -Brian

Todd, you would be the person to ask. Either you or Moosens, not much of us know anything about those old rigs. Great score tho! My 1st sube was a '79, and i have a chance to get a '78 but with a 4spd. Do they make some sort of MMO for auto trannies? 130K isnt alot in the Subaru world, the tranny should still be good. -Brian

Thats not bad at all. Remember to keep us informed. Are these on the lifted hatch? I would like to know if REAL cv's will last longer for off-road use. Im pretty happy with the CV life I have now. One CV in my wagon is actually a used CV i got from EdRach a LONG time ago. The other CV is a new reman. I had 2 new reman's, but one of them didnt make it longer than 1200 miles before it blew... had to replace it with another reman that is starting to click now. Edrach's used CV has held up through 2 reman's. -Brian
