Sleeping Subaru
TheSubaruJunkie replied to The Dude Abides's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Really, a month isnt long. Top the fuel tank off with fresh gas, top off the engine with oil and make sure there is still air in the tires. the car should be just fine. -Brian -
Sleeping Subaru
TheSubaruJunkie replied to The Dude Abides's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I would turn the key and check if it starts or not. if it does, then you have nothing to worry about. if it doesn't, check the battery -Brian -
All it is, is a piece of pipe welded past the CV with a tip welded to it. So, in effect, there is no muffler at all. Just straight pipe. I got it from a friend. He ran it on his '93 impreza. It bolted right up, the hangers lined up too except for the hangers at the tip of the exhaust. Those are about 4" too short, and the entire exhaust is about 4" too short... so the tip doesnt even reach the bumper. -Brian

Reno-Tahoe Wrenchfest...
TheSubaruJunkie replied to NV Zeno's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Yup, i know all too well. I once drove the 2 hour trip from Sacramento to Reno on a sunday to find the Sparks location was closed. Then drove from Sparks to Carson City to find they were also closed. Then drove another 2 hours home. But me and NV Zeno did have a decent lunch in Tahoe that day... guess the trip wasnt an entire waste of time. Looks like you already grabbed the part I was after (your LSD thread in the Gen. Forum). But I gotta head up to Jibs house and grab some stuff... also wanna help him with his new project. Just gotta wait until one of my vehicles is up for the trip: Legacy: Needs new tires BAD Truck: No tags, not a comfortable drive for 2 hours '78 Wagon: Doesnt run quite right, no way I can trust it to get me there and back. -Brian -
I feel lately I have been neglecting my Turbo Legacy, so this morning when I woke up, I decided to spend the day with it. I got a cat-back exhaust from a buddy of mine. Aparently it came from a WRX or a STi or something... its just a straight pipe with a tip on it. But it sounds better than the stock muffler. So I installed it, then decided to wash the crud off my Legacy. Looks so much better, however removing the dirt and grime revealed all the flaws in my paint and all the scratches and dents Ive forgotten about. Regardless, here's some pictures The New Exhaust I took the digital camcorder out and recorded it leaving the driveway and passing the house. I edited the clips together so you guys could hear the new exhaust: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KItyJur07c Alittle loud. Kinda sounds like the car has a massive exhaust leak, but I like it better than the grandma exhaust it had on it before. -Brian

Trans and Diff Fluid.... What Kind
TheSubaruJunkie replied to 2K4 STI's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
it was LSD additive. I read carefully to make sure it was compatible with the gear oil i was using. -Brian -
rear diff question
TheSubaruJunkie replied to 2F1R Suby/dub's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Damn seems like LSD's grow up there in Carson City. I myself have pulled 2 from that yard, and a buddy of mine has gotten 3 or 4 from that yard. Now there's another??? You better get it this weekend or I might have to drive up there and snatch it Oh yeah, and the rear diff will match all EA series subaru rear diffs, as far as CV's are concerned. Just the 3.7 that sucks cause most EA subaru's are 3.9. -Brian -
Trans and Diff Fluid.... What Kind
TheSubaruJunkie replied to 2K4 STI's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I didnt do any transmission oil on my RX, but i did flush the LSD in it. And I used Castrol 85/90wt gear oil with LSD addative. Its extremly important you use gear oil that is for LSD differentials. I bought the addative because I couldnt find LSD specific oil, and the addative was all i could find. -Brian -
Photo Shoot!!!!!! :)

Dude your license plate is 420 WUS THATS FREAKIN AWESOME!!! -Brian -
If your GL10 is a turbo (which it most likely is) then they will be different than the GL, if the GL is non-turbo (which it most likely is). -Brian

Yes, all RX's came with LSD. Unless someone swiped yours, it has it. -Brian

Or there will be a big LSD marked on the rear tag with the diff ration. -Brian

Weber on the 1600.
TheSubaruJunkie replied to TheSubaruJunkie's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Im pretty sure the 32/36 Im getting has the electric choke, and will be tuned for a EA81. Its comming from Cameron in Australia. -Brian -
Hello and what do you think of my 79?
TheSubaruJunkie replied to H.K. Phooey's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Did they mention why they went from the 5 lug to the 4 lug pattern? -

Ea81t as core for n/a rebuild
TheSubaruJunkie replied to ihscout54's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Well that could be ANY EA81 LOL The solid lifter and hydraulic lifter motors are no different in terms of reliability and economy. I think you'll be happy with any rebuilt EA81. -Brian -

TheSubaruJunkie replied to TheSubaruJunkie's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Thats another thing i was curious about. Will the 32/36 be too much carburator for the 1600? -Brian -
EA82 5spd into a '78 Wagon?
TheSubaruJunkie replied to TheSubaruJunkie's topic in Subaru Retrofitting
Good idea stumpy but i think the overall size is larger and moving it forward wouldnt help, unless i moved it forward the length of the tranny If I do tackle the problem, i think cutting the tunnel and replacing with a EA82 would be the easiest way to do it. That way I could custom fab the tranny x-member as well. -Brian -

TheSubaruJunkie replied to ihscout54's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
You could use that block just fine, as long as you replaced the pistons with N/A pistons. I think the EA82's have the same stroke and bore as the EA81, so it maybe possible to use EA82 pistons as well. The heads are different, and the pistons are different. The intake manifold is also different. If you get the motor and want to get rid of the heads, let me know. I have been looking for a set of (uncracked!!) heads for a long time. If you were closer, i would have a EA81 for you... got one in the garage unused and could use a fresh build. However, Sacramento is alittle far to go to just trade motors. -Brian
