Marvels Mystery Oil is the Seafoam for your crankcase. ATF works too.

Including you Nevada guys too! Who all is planning on driving to the WCSS this year from California? -Brian

As long as they didnt scratch your rims. Those things are BEAUTIFUL!! WoW! -Brian

Yeah please disregard all that. ontop of it, the gallery software is bugged and I can no longer edit or remove comments.

If the car is still in your name (title and registration) then I suggest you go get it and do with it what you please. If he has already started transfering it into your name, you may want to be cautious as it could be considered theft by trying to "repo" it.

They are from a chevy luv. 14" steels. Here are some pictures from the painting process: http://gallery.usmb.net/album56

I wouldn't go that far... there aren't many like GD around. However, you cant treat your Subaru like you did your DSM. They are 2 completely different vehicles, with completely different technology. In order to locate a vacuum leak, spray around your engine in spots with carburator cleaner. Do this with the engine running at idle, while warmed up to operational temp's. If you spray somewhere, and the engine idle smooths out or picks up, there is a vacuum leak in that area and deserves some further investigation. Ripping out emissions stuff and plugging off vacuum lines will NOT fix your problems, it will only cause more. -Brian

I changed it today becuase there is evidence i had at least 13,000 posts before it was reset to 0.

The weber 32/36 will be the simplest swap. You will need a EA82 carb manifold. It will bolt right on. You will do away with most the vacuum lines. However, i doubt the problem you are experiencing is the SPFI, and its possible you will still have the same problem with a carb.

I cant think of any special tools that you would need. Can you elaborate on what the manual asks for?

Here is my hatchback the day I bought it. And shortly thereafter: And in action: And hundreds more pictures are here if you'd like to see them: http://gallery.usmb.net/hatch -Brian

Adjusting the timing is done by rotating the distributor either clockwise or counterclockwise. I would pull and check all your spark plugs. If you do not know the last time they have been changed, then I would change them. Even if they look good, they could be faulty. You'd be suprised how many times Ive solved this kind of problem with new plugs. That, or the coil is on its last leg. No real way to test the coil. They could work great at low RPM however at a higher RPM the system can become weak and cause a misfire which would result in your poor performance past 3k. Both are cheap repairs. -Brian

5 years and i only got 680 posts. cant get any more anti-post-whore than that can you? Just alittle history, this was the first post on the new USMB when we rolled out the VBulletin software. Jeremy has no job or life and spends his days reading every thread on the USMB starting at #1.

ROFL Jeremy you are gonna get in trouble. This isnt subaru related :-p

When I rebuilt my LSD i used some Castrol LSD Additive with regular Diff Gear Oil. I did some research and found many who have done the same. I found both at my local autozone. -Brian

When smog shops run your vehicle through the tester, it logs your vehicle information and the shops information. It then forwards this info to the DMV. If later on down the road, you get pulled over by a cop. And he visually inspects your car and notices its not smog worthy, the DMV will then contact the shop who passed you, and they will most likely do an investigation. For this reason, most smog shops will not just "smog" your car. Ive had a couple places refuse to test my RX because the engine code did not match the VIN. They don't even want to risk the chance of anything comming back on them. Its a pretty messed up scenario. Its not just the emissions we gotta deal with anylonger. -Brian

I just setup tent away from party central. Seems to have worked for me the past few years.

If you make it to sac let me know. I'm certain you will find a EA82T in the sac yard. There are always at least one or two when I go. Maybe this weekend I'll hit it up, there are some things I need for my legacy i keep putting off. -Brian

The JY here in sac should have all that. Maybe your local JY too. Im stuck at work so I cant help. Sorry luigi.

The biggest party of the year. Some people drive through 2 states to attend this party. -Brian

Yup. Search here for the part number and order it online from SubaruParts.com -Brian

A wise man once told me: "There is no replacement for displacement" At the end of the day, no matter what you do to it, the EA82 is still 1800cc.

He is right. The limits are endless. If you could solve ALL the problems the EA82T had, or would have, you could make 1000hp out of it. However that would cost ALOT of money. Lets try to get alittle more realistic though. 190, maybe 200hp would be the limits. But if you wanted a reliable EA82T then maybe around 150ish. -Brian

I remember seeing a website with the build on this thing. Had much bigger pictures too. Not a bad machine.

Better you than me man I can't feel a thing down here.
