  1. yes crank windows and they work fine. No radio at all. The car has tan plaid interior, other than drivers seat. Let me know if you want anything else.

  2. please help me out guys...someone on here has to know where this thing is at. i know there is alot of gurus on here. someone please help me out. thanks again
  3. where the heck is it? can someone post a pic or explain where its at so i can change it out? "82 soobie gl wagon 1800 thanks
  4. i thought it would be easy, it looks like just those 4 bolts that go to those 2 pipe looking things coming out the back end. took off the four bolts and nothing, figured i was missing something.
  5. how do you remove the rear bumper off an E81 1982 subi wagon gl? got a few dents i wanna bang out. thanks
  6. since i took all the AC other stuff out, and havent removed any of the boxes, do i still have a heater for the winter? and what do you mean loop the hoses together, which ones and how?
  7. '82 subaru gl wagon. was wondering, i removed ac compressor, ac hoses, small ac coil in front of radiator. dont have any overheating issues, just decided to get rid of all that stuff. my question is...can i go under the passenger side dash and remove all those black boxes such as blower and heater core, and whatever else? not gonna use ac or heater, just open windows and vents. is it possible? will it effect my coolant temp or start giving me issues? please let me know. thanks in advance
  8. when you say get an alternator from a nissan maxima, what year? and when you change out the pulley, is it easy to remove? and do you just switch pulleys from the alts? thanks
  9. hello from texas, i havent been on here in a long time, since i sold my '86 subaru gl wagon. today i was "given" an '83 subaru wagon, (yellow) 4 door. havent reall checked to see if its a gl or whatever, an old freind of mine decided to get rid of it and thought of me. he let me have it for FREE! anyway she runs, a little rough on the idle while at stops, but she ran pretty good, temp and voltage is good as well. what are some things i can do to improve the idle and shifting, (some grinding)? tires are new, no stereo, interior a little shot. most of all i really NEED front corner marker lights and rear tail lights. well let me know what you think guys. thanks :-\
  10. the reason i'm thinking of switching from an EA82 to a EA81 is because the timing belt broke while driving on the hiway. took her to the mechanic, he says that aside from the belt being broke, the tensioner broke as well. he called several parts stores, and they sell a "kit" which comes with a belt, tensioner, and pulley, and a few more minor pcs. all for the grand total of $270.00! (plus they have to order the kit) so after all is said and done, he 's gonna charge me approx. $600.00 parts and labor! and that doesnt include the fact that he still has to see if any valves are bent or any further damage. at least, he told me before he actually did anything to it. he even told me to think about it, because of how much money i wanted to put into it. anyway, theres this guy who has an '84 subaru selling for parts. he wants $250.00 for the engine (hence EA81) so question is....do i do it?:-\ let me know what u guys think. by the way thanks for all your responses. i will definately take all of that info into consideration if i decide to do the swap. thanks again!
  11. i have a '86 subaru GL 5 spd. wagon ea82, (non turbo). my question... will an ea 81 engine from an '84 fit my car? and will it fit my 5 spd. tranny? (dont know off hand what kind of subaru the 84 is, alls i know is that it has an ea81) thanks in advance guys,
  12. yeah she has been running ruff, and i feel bad cuz this soobie used to run really nice. so far i'm just happy that she turns over and stays on, (pretty good idle) and she gets me to work and back. my son is using our other car. so most definately gonna do the timing belt thing this weekend, she deserves it! i did see that write up on the timing belt and it's pretty awesome. i will also get back to you guys and let you know what i found and what i did. one more thing....is it okay to use seafoam in her now, or just wait till all is said and done? once again, you guys are the best! thanks:)
  13. thanks for all the repllies! really happy that it "might" be the timing belt. :banana:didnt know she had 2 timing belts. it does make sense that it mite be the passenger side. i know for a fact that these timing belts have never been changed in at least 7 years. i did the coolant change and oil change and there was no coolant in the oil or vise versa. so definately gonna look under those covers this weekend! quik question.... is it ok to drive her to and from work like that? and next, do i need to take out the radiator and stuff to get to the timing belt covers?? thanks again guys for all your help. really appreciate it!
  14. i'll have to check that out, hadnt really thot of that. thanks. would still like to find a write up on this just in case.
  15. i have an '86 soobie gl wagon 5 spd. 1.8 front wheel drive. i just got her back from a friend who had her sitting for a month or so, and i changed out the spark plugs, ngk's disty, rotor, fuel filter, fuel pump, oil/filter change, coolant flush n fill. anyhoo after getting her running she's riding a little ruff, took her to a mechanic/friend who said thats she's only running on 2 pistons, something bout the head gasket to the passenger side. does anyone know if there's a write up (with pics:banana:) on this kinda job? i wanna try and tackle this so i can save myself some $$ and learn more. i love my soobie and i eventually want to get a lift and roof rack. thanks in advance guys!
