Ok, I've checked and everything says it's the right part #. Though I'm getting a sputter like somethings not firing(guess) after changing the plugs(BPR6ES-11 was in there previously). I've pulled the wires and plugs and redid it but still a rough idle and has the tendency to die.

Is BPR6EY-11 right?

Oooo, Have any pics pointing that one out? Is it like the PVC valve? Rookie here, needs a map around the engine bay.

Can't remember which second gen's (95-99) were affected but I got a new alternator under a Subaru Recall for my '98.

I get pinging in hot weather if I run anything less than Premium on my 86 Wagon(EA82). Going to find out if it's true for cold weather as soon as it gets here.

Thanks for the info, Looks like I get some new glass at the junkyard and then test the buffing on my old stuff. Will let you know.

For those of you that get the streaks from the rollors pushing on the window glass(power windows), have any of you found a good fix (besides replacing the glass).

I was wondering the same thing. I was reading this other post and it sounds like a direct bolt on. Qman is using one in a Brat with a EA82 trans.
Here's a link to the other thread with discusion about the XT-6 clutch if you haven't already seen it.

BTW, do you know baccaruda? He's in Spokane too.

Thanks XSNRG! I remember searching for the info and coming up with that thread and assumed it was a direct swap too, though being a Brat with a EA82, I didn't know if that came into play. So basically, if I get a XT6 clutch kit (includes flywheel right?) it should pop right in?

P.S. No Haven't meet Barracuda yet. But I would like to get a Eastern WA / Idaho meet together before the weather gets too bad.

The previous owners of my '94 LSi wagon spent big bucks replacing the air suspension just prior to selling me the car. And for now anyway (knock on wood) it seems to work properly.
Now to my question. I'm wondering if the system is supposed to have an auto-levelling feature to keep the car sitting level when you add cargo weight to the back? Or are the front and rear air bags all on one circuit? Thanks!
There should be a button on the dash that will rasie the "rear" when you put cargo in the back.

Ok, I need some ressurance that the XT6 Clutch kit will work as a replacement for my slipping GL clutch. I'm really a noob on my GL compared to my Legacy so help me out guys:D Is this a go? And what were the benefits again? Thanks.

I'm thinking an ACTclutch, but don't know if they make one so.....Pretty much as the subject states, need some ideas for aftermarket or is OEM still a good way to go?

It should be like my '85 or '88. There are two bolts holding the caliper assembly on. You have to take both bolts out, and then pry off the whole caliper assembly.
Once the caliper is off, the old pads just pop off. Then, turn the piston clockwise to retract it into the caliper. You can use pliers, or you can buy a universal brake tool from a parts store. The universal tool is a 3/8" drive steel cube with little knobs poking out of its corners which fit into the piston to grip and turn it.
With the piston all of the way in, put the new pads on (use the brake pad goo, for the sake of everyone's ears). Put the caliper on the car, and put the 2 bolts back into the caliper.
I saw those to caliper assembly bolts (17mm) and took one out, but was thinking it should be simpler than that. Oh well, now I know and knowing is half the battle! Thanks stephenw22!

I can't imagine it being much different than my '87 XT (which is similar to my VW).
Behind the caliper there is a bolt just below the pads that runs through the caliper (rather long), loosen this bolt then it will pivot on a similarly looking bolt above the pads. The caliper can also be removed by sliding it off this big 'pin'. You may have to use a small hammer to tap the pads and swing the caliper free. My VW Golf worked the same way.

That long bolt was what I looking for (like my 98 Legacy) and found, though I did't see the top bolt for the caliper to pivot on -- I must be missing something.
