Classic signs of the alternator dying. Time for a new one.

I'm blushing:-p (closest thing to a blushing smilie) Glaveston is quite a drive from here (6-7 hours or so?) However, that 'other' board is having a statewide soob meet in Austin the last weekend of next month. I am doing everything I can to prepare teh soob for attendance.. Have yet to finalize the last step though.. Permission from the wife Welcoma aboard. Old soobs are few and far between down here.. But we're slowly filling in the gaps.

They were also available in a 2.5 V6(pre 92).. Which while not the fastest thing on the road, it was substaintially more powerful than a N/A soob 1.8.. Damned good motor in terms of longevity and reliability. Overall, in terms of a daily driver, for reliability and fairly inexpensive maintenance, there is very little on the road that beats a camry.. Subaru included. PS.. the V6 is also a non-interference motor

I thought the header was $490? Just trying to keep things in perspective;)

Thats cheating mark.. they're all yours!

This is neither old school nor a subaru. Moving to 'transplants' (where its already been posted as well) Mods over there, please merge threads maybe ---Crossposting is bad

Factory service manual is your friend http://www.finleyweb.net/default.asp?id=142

Oh hell Russ.. Now why did you have to go and say that...Now I want to hear it. But given my schedule.. One day per week to actually get any work done on the car.. Max 2 hours on that day.. Its going to be another month probably

More air in, More air out Ditch the auto

Unfortuntely, like it or not, its supposed to do that. Like patrick said though, you could disable the Auxiliary air valve

Godd kit. Does not include turbo up and down pipe gaskets though

Patrick. I probably have a MAF here for you too.. Of the four I have, one is bad and I can't remember which it is though:-\

Actually, if you went a perpetual 40mph or so, you would probably do ok in mileage.. Just don't slow down or speed up... ever;)

Yup, teh WRX rims will fit. Beware of going too wide and dealing with rubbing Any 5x100 wheels will fit, but most aftermarket wheels don't have the drastic offset that soobs have (~52 or so mm).. Most aftermarkets are 40-48mm.. Will still work, but rubbing again can be an issue. Moving to new gen.. Those guys probably know more about that stuff;)

205-55-16.. only way to go;)

Welcome.. You don't say whether the car is a 5 speed or auto.. If its an auto, sorry,I can't help much. If its a 5 speed, push in the clutch Now, since its a turbo, its time to make it faster!!

Whats the big deal.. Its just an EA81 wagon.. thats all their good for anyway;)

Funny.. out of the 20+ turbo cars I have had (Saabs, Subarus, Volvos, Peugeots).. only a single one with under 100k.. a few well over 200k.. Never had a turbo crap out on me because of using dino oil. (or for any other reason) Back on topic.. Which turbo does the XT use? Is it the same TD04 that the WRX uses?

Still working on it.. ALmost there... look at my teasers thread and you will get an idea of how close I am

Tag on the rear diff says LSD

Still just tooling along.. Will be done someday:rolleyes:

Good deal.. you got the stuff. You're about 1/4 of the way there

Agree.. More readily available.. And the XT6 is a slug in stock trim.. Just like the rest of the old school line up

Fixed for you

So are you going to actually do the work, or is it going back to Johns?
