Hello!
Not likely to find many of us with one of those things on this board. I would say 98% of us here are in the USA. And unfortunately, we didn't get the twin turbo cars:banghead: But welcome to the board anyway!

Gas mileage vs/vs
I have never gotten better than 23 in any of my Turbowagons under any conditions. However I have been beating the piss out of this 83 brat for a week or so in short, around town hops and it seems to be hangin in ther at about 25 mpg

wow, the rx is fast stock
Ooohh.. I like

envious of US subaru owners
A big reason we didn't get them is because subaru would have had to come up with a completely different design for the exhaust plumbing. The steering gets in the way of the drivers side turbo on LHD cars. Not very cost effective.

Hey whats the turbo light mean?
Shift light? where?

RX's acceleration times?
What year RX? 87+ is always in 4wd, so naturally its safe to drive on the street in 4wd. I wouldn't do it with the diff lock on. 85-86 is not FT4WD, so no, driving on the street in 4wd is not a smart thing

Hi All!
You made it here! PS. 91 Legacy only counts as old school on NABISCO;)

Project RX: The saga continues... Engine out and apart
get a good block, clean it up. get good heads, clean them up. Slap it all together with an OE seal kit I'll bet I can come up with a good clock and heads for you, but you are so far away. Shipping would be a bit.

Phone is up and running.. Been having some network problems though. Thankfully my neighbors don't believe in wireless security, so I have internet on one computer at least

distributor module
What is the other one out of? My recommendation holds true fro MPFI, SPFI and turbo I have put in used ones with no problems I wouldn't pay more that about $20 for one. Doesn't seem like a regular occurence, but its often enough that I hear about it every once in a while.

distributor module
85-86(MPFI and Turbo) is a different setup than 87+ (MPFI and Turbo) 85-86 uses a vacuum advance, while 87+ does not. I have had the module go out in an 87+ Turbo car, easiest thing was to simply replace the whole distributor.. takes about 10 minutes.

Please Help With My Subaru
Quiet you. You are a little too clueless to be handing out info. Practice learning through silence Just to clarify, Not all GL-10s were turbo, nor were they all automatics. Rust. Not exactly sure where you are, but as was stated above, finding a donor car (85-94 in the US) is going to be the best bet. As far as price goes, if you are looking to have a shop do it and the rust is anywhere as bad as you described, I would seriously consider finding a rust free car with a bad motor. If you can do it yourself, you will save tons of money. One thing to keep in mind, its really hard to give any sort of price estimate to people in other parts of the world. the subaru market is vastly different outside of North America where 90% of the board membership is located

Compatibility 86 to 87?
They'll fit. Done it a few times.

Cardomain?
The main purpose of car domain is for pic hosting. For quite a while, there has been hosting available through usmb.net and now directly through the board. That makes cardomain more trouble than its worth for most of us.

SUBARU Stealerships....not me!
Careful everyone, WJM quoted me $480972 for a stock EA82 radiator mounting bolt. Boost fluid and muffler bearings were even more money:lol: Seriously though, thanks for your help yesterday, Will.
