subynut

Hummm how bout: 1 Suby breaks, 'nother 2 follow within the week! I don't get it. It seems when I'm working on one roo, the others get jelous and want attention too. Never happends when the Fords break. When one of those breaks, the Subies behave very nicely. Do I see a conspiricy goin on around here????

Yes, they are very good. It's not bad to install and the vacume hose mess disappears!

I agree.

Yeah, I have the same problem. I switched to Chevron regular and the pinging went bye bye. I wonder how you can enable the EGR????

88 C I think is the same as the 195 F. Or abouts the same. Head gasklets is easiest with the engine out.

I say do something different. Shaker style!:burnout:I wonder what that would look like backwords?

If it's just burning alot of oil, that sounds like worn rings and/or valve guides. You might try runniing half 10w-40 and half 20w-50. I did that to my Suby B4 it died and dropped from 2 qts a fillup to 1 qt a fillup. Justa way to help decreace your oil consumsion. On your cooling system, have you tried doing a full coolant flush? Might pick up one of those cooling flush kits from wal-mart or your favorite autoparts store. Easy to install. That might loosen up any junk on the cooling system. Also would swap out the t-stat with a Subaru t-stat. Do you notice any bubbles comming up from the radiator while the engine is running? THat could indicate a toast Head gasket. Other signs are oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil. Just some other ideas 4 ya.

Ok,we found one of the connectors under the hood would turn on the light, however it also dims the rest of the dash lights and dome light. I'll see if I can trace that wire from the cluster under the dash to undr the hood. Blue/black, I wonder if it's normally hot or normally ground? Thanks!

My bother and I swapped the 3at out of his 87 gl wagon with a 5sp d/r out of a 88 gl wagon. We were able to figure out the reverse lights, but we can't find which wires are for the 4wd indicator on the dash. We know which wires for 4hi and 4low on the tranny, but which wires turn on the dash light on the car? Anybody have like the wiring part of an FSM for an 87 GL 3AT? Thanks!

Tis true. But it's still fun to scream by somebody at 7k in 2nd. hehehehe....I don't even have a turbo.... Funny tho, after I cracked my exhaust y-pipe on that rock, the power band has shifted up. I wonder if my y pipe is too small, hummmmm................

Yeah, they'll do that. My sister's 89 dl did that. Had no roof rack and spent it's entire life (189k miles when she bought it) on dirt roads. Slam the door closed, and it pop. I've ridden in some that have had that bang kind of sound while driving over bumps. Now, she's got a 87 gl that HAS a roof rack. no more bang when you close the door. You could try and put some sort of dampening matirial on the roof; between the headliner and the roof itself. My roof rattles when my sub bumps. I'll prolly end up doing that to rid of that rattle. And the rear gate. And the license plate. and the doors.................

Yeah, Subaru filters. I use Castrol GTX 10w-40. With 10w-30, she chatters just a litle bit and drives me crazy. I think I'm gonna try the Mobil 1 synth in me new tranny. Only 6200? my old engine valve float was about 6800. New one, 7700! Must be the RV cams. PS Emily, you did NOT see that!

I hope your kidding. That's just begging for a blowout. Espeasially if your driving habbits are as bad as mine: Petter Solberg Jr. in training:burnout:You might get away with 5 over the max rating, but not 25 over. Between 32 and 35 psi is the reccomended pressure for our Subies for best mileage and tread life.

Yup same thing. REpost it!

Looks very good and clean! I like it: Steathly.

Found one! It will be shipped from Phoenix to work where I will haul it home. WHOO HOO! Found it by calling the junkyard here who directed me to a place in tucson who pointed me to a place in phoenix who has two.

I've got a turbo muffler without any cats running 2 1/4 piping from the Y. It's got a rumble to it. Also, make sure the pipe is past the bumper. Otherwise, it'l resonate really badly around 3k rpms.

Yeah, I'm checking them. None, so far. Hafta put a WTB in there. Craigslist.com didn't have too much in the way of subaru stuff.

Me suby, that is. Was flyin down the highway, went for 3rd, ground then.....bang! What was that? Long story short, I'm stuck in second gear. I will guess I lost a shifting fork. Anyways, NOW what? Yank it out and have it rebuilt for a tune of $1200? Or drive roughly 600 miles round trip and hopefully find a junkyard tranny? Since here and Tucson have NOTHING. Guess I shoulda had it overhauled when I replaced the engine. Not fair, I just got the carby retuned to the changed weather too.

Cool! Looks like fun! Didn't have my speakers hooked up, but it looked good. Boy, do I miss snow.

Happy B-Day, man!

Wow! I've seen pics of it but, no vids. That thing looked like it was ready to launch off the dyno when he hit the nitrus!

Forester_Ranger: Dude, those are cool! Me like! I'll take the lifted WRX brat with a pair of dana 60 axles, please. Then I'll whoop those guys on top truck challenge and the ultimate adventure. {edit} ok, that's twice I've started a new page. {/edit}

Don't know, don't wanna know, don't care to try. Yes, scary that this is being discussed.

If it's like my sister's old 89 SPFI wagon, then yeah, coolant temp sensor. Stubborn as a mule when cold, happy as a lark when warm.
