87 Gl10 head gasket Q's
Skippers right. An 87 GL-10 turbo with a carb would definitely be an oddity. The turbo cars are MPFI.. Provided that it really is a GL-10 turbo, there are a couple of things to look for . if there is coolant coming from around the Throttle body, it might be because of the little coolant hoses that run in and out of the base of the TB. they are kind of a pain to get to, and an even bigger pain to get fron the parts store(dealer only) I replaced mine with high pressure fuel line The best tool in your battle with the headgasket is going to to be a good repair manual.

Need help understanding the divorced t-case mod
Yes, you do have a front diff.. its inside the tranny. But for the mod they're talking about, you basically hit it on the head. you take another rear diff and put it up front. its driven by the transfer case.

Supercharged 4 Cylinder?
Skip, I have seen a couple of the larger size Toyota superchargers on ebay, but the little ones from the MR2s are pretty tough to find.

86 Turbowagon fuel pressure regulator?
I'm guessing that by CTS, he means Coolant Temp Sensor.. I recently assisted in a motor swap on a GL-10 turbo,, after swapping intakes and putting the motor in, we ran into some problems similar to what Andy is having. The owner took it to a shop and it turned out to be a boogered FPR. However, I don't find that to be a common problem and I really like Skip's idea of the hoses to the fuel cut switch and turbo light being swapped. Elegant, simple and free:D

Need help understanding the divorced t-case mod
My stock tires were only 23 inch.. my pugs with larger tires are just barely over 25.. I can think of 4 people right off the top of my head with the divorced T-case.. is this the wave of the future? I would be happy just to find a D/R down here for a reasonable price:mad:

Coolant Temp Sensor Q
The contacts have a tendancy to get corroded and nasty.. pull the connector and clean the connections.

lift kits '94 Loyale s/w
I have 14 inch pugs on my wagon. The wheels themselves are 1 inch bigger than stock.. that = 1/2 inch ride height increase.. it also opens your options up to larger tires. I use 185/75/14.. those give me an overall ride height increas of about 2 inches.. its the tires that make the difference, the lift simply facilitates bigger tires. with a lift and a little fender trimming, you can squeeze 28's under there.. some have even gotten 29-30 inch tires.but thats kind of a stretch I think. Lifts available at http://www.ozified.com Do a search, theres tons of info here. also, look in the photo album to see all the other lifted soobs on the board.

I lost my Fist gear hold ability to some nice snow donuts
There is no 4X Low on a 4EAT. I believe the 1st gear hold is electronically controlled. Perhaps testing the switch would be a good place to start.

Pugs on Ebay...
Pug drivers will pay a lot for thier wheels.. beware, they also want a lot when selling them.. before we moved, my wife drove a 505 turbo.. I had networked with a bunch of pug owners on a board( not as good as this one) and for 14 inch steelies, the average price was $65 plus shipping... each.. so i bought my pugs from a soob board member for a lot less.. they seem to work just as well as the expensive ones

New Subaru universal front end.
calebz replied to wrxsubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI admit, my subaru is ugly.. all of my subarus have been ugly... If I wanted truly hideously ugly, I would not have to go far.. I would just buy an XT or XT6.. The new design is just a little funny looking.. and funny looking is a very short throw from 'distinctive' Definitely a step up.. Time and sales will reveal all.
