brat failed smog (but not the second time)
Qman replied to darthsoob's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Check the guy on 6th. I have seen him as well. Very quick and knows how to make 'em pass, legally. -
headlight, side marker assy.'s
Qman replied to SubaRube's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The lights themselves are the same. The difference is in the mounting bucket. If yours didn't get damaged you can swap it. Caleb does indeed like the newer markers. He got all of mine. -
Bummer DEATH to A Good Bud from The Subaru World....:(

This is indeed a sad day in many peoples lives. Jason will be missed by many. My condolences to his family. :wave: This ones for you Jason! Ken and Family -
The only problem with using NOs is that it is short lived, a little expensive and can be very destructive. But other than that it works for racing but would be less than desirable off road unless it can be dialed down for shorter bursts.

diff spline question- interchange 25 spline to 23?
Qman replied to Ratty2Austin's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Austin, which tranny are you upgrading to? -
Hmmm, Interesting idea. It would provide more power as all injection will to some point. I personally think it would be alot of work for limited gain. A fresh motor with a mild cam and a new Weber will provide years and miles of care free service. Arch, I understand, but, the Weber is the way to go. Almost everyone of my club member's is running a trouble free Weber. And the power added from them is indeed very noticable. Most feel like they add 10-30% more power. My set up would be a little much for a daily driver but seems to be reliable all the same. I have built two different versions, one is estimated at 150hp. It runs well but provided limited torque at low end. The second is estmated at 12-130hp. It has super low end torque. Most people who ride in it very impressed with the power available. Like driving without 28's.

Trip Computer is Faint....Why???
Qman replied to vodoobrat's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
That is usually the sign that the solders are failing. They can be resoldered by a few board members. Also, try turning off the headlights and see if it gets brighter. -
Sounds like it could be the vapor recovery tube. Don't know how difficult it would be to replace.

It's here, it's on, it runs. And I'm Happy now
Qman replied to TomRhere's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Tom, here's a couple of thoughts. Check the main harness that goes to the motor. Also check the plug for the disty. It may not have a harness plug but rather just run to the disributor. Look for a loose connection and the fuses as per Skipper. I have never had any problems with Weber installs so it should just be something small. Maybe even a pinched wire somewhere. Do you have the EGR plated off or is the valve still over the hole? You will need to have that covered one way or another. Good luck. -
Nope, it's open.
-
Don't sweat it Sweet. That's why I started by saying I was going to be gentle. You do indeed have to learn somewhere. Why not from a bunch of computer nerds that you probably won't ever meet more than 5% of. @ Brian... 4cyl V-8 That will have to become a classic.
-
The purpose behind the center locking diff is to make the power split 50/50. When in the unlocked position I believe it is like a 70/30 split front to rear.

85 Brat EGR light always on!
Qman replied to GeneralDisorder's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Good job Skipper!! There is a small odometer behind the speedo that controls the light. After 60,000 miles it trips the switch, if you will. When I installed the '82 dash I was able to check it out. -
Ummmm, I'll be gentle.... your '82 doesn't have belts. It's gear driven.
-
To answer your question, yes, it was in service on his ranch in Corodva(I think). It recently sold on EBay. And yes, a board member(Shackk) did purchase it and it will be donated to the Ronald Reagan museum. Some other interesting info. The original bill of sale was included which had his signature. And some other stuff was included.

The tire size is mandated by transmission. 2wd GL's have 175/70R13. 2wd DL's have 155/70R13. 4WD GL's have 185/70R13. 4WD DL's have 175/70R13. Not all GL10's have rear headrests. (this is an additional option) Things like roof racks and rear air deflectors on wagons are also additional options. The following info is taken directly from the '84 and '86 sales brochures. '84; These are beyond the standard GL options AM/FM ETR 6 speaker stereo, PS PW(only available as PW Pmirror option pkg) Cruise control, A/C, Digi dash Sunroof-pop up style. Turbo coupes came with all the GL10 options and the Turbo wagons came in GL or GL10. '86 The power moon roof was only available in the turbo. GL10's were turbo's except in the 4dr sedan which had the option of non-turbo. Digi dash only came with the turbo's. Trip computers. Power door locks.(Were standard but available on other models.) Folddown rear seat. Height adjustment on drivers seat only. Electronic height control for suspension. That's about it.

Boz, I have an '84 GL10 coupe. It's 2wd with auto. It didn't cover the wheels, sunroof, cargo rack, black out or paint treatment. List price in 1984 was just over $12,000. Yes, it is an option designation. Just like DL/GL. Most GL10's have all power accy's, nicer interior and power moonroofs, in '84 they came with non-power sunroofs as an additional option. In the EA82 models most/all Turbo models had all the GL10 options.

The manifold will work just fine but the electrical probably won't match up with what you have(98% sure on this one). You may have to splice into that one. Be further ahead to swap in the Weber if you can.

LSD? am I halucinating or what???
Qman replied to LUVMYBRAT's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Most LSD's will be 3.70 ratio. You Brat is a 3.90 ratio. You will need to swap ring gears. There is a write up in the Ultimate Subaru Repair manual that tells step by step directions how to do it. -
They will fit. You will probably have to do some fender trimming and well adjustments. That is the radial version of the old TSL biased ply(Super Swamper series) The radial version should be alot nicer in the morning. That tread pattern is well tested and proven. Good mud tire but not as good on the rocks. Still a good tire though.
-
I doubt it. It's probably that weak-assed Pontiac.

I don't know about you other guys but I'm with Sweet. My heater's will dry your eyes out.

Good day, I am happy. Link added (Pic)
Qman replied to PHATBRAT's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Yep, 27/9.50R15 That's about the baddest tire you will find in that size. Rumor has it that they are considering phasing these out as well. I guess we need more people to buy them to show Interco that they are popular enough to keep around. I don't get rubbing in normal everyday driving. I cranked the suspension up prior to the last run at Evans Creek. I had been running at half mast prior to that. Rubbing occurs when I get into off camber situations. Mind you I am not running a sway bar and I get quite a bit more movement than the average Sube will see. -

My bad Brian, I thought I read that you no longer had admin privledges. Can you fix mine? I have the user and password and I can't get in. Boz, I have 27" Swampers. I have a slightly modified 4/3" Ozified lift. Yes my suspension is cranked and I still get a little rubbing on extreme articulation. I don't think the Thornbirds come in a small enough size to run them on anything less than a 6 or 8" lifted Sube. The hubs aren't the same. The rears have a smaller hub in the back where it matches up to the bearings. BTW, $80.00 for Alloys isn't a bad price at all.
