  1. I suggest finding one in a wrecking yard and replace the broken one. Its not that hard to remove the pins, just time consuming.
  2. The motor bump trick is pretty old and is mentioned quite frequently here. Just need to make sure you have it on the correct side.
  3. Silver Sharpie or .......White Out pen.
  4. Well, I didnt see any duct tape on it.
  5. The RX in the 2nd pic is from Costa Rica. And was recently sold (last year). The PO and current owner have it listed on Car Domain.....twice :-\ PO - http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2391065 New owner - http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3122951
  6. In my research all I could find with the swap is that they were all turbo EJ's. http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewforum.php?f=7 And never never ever mistake a EA for a EJ again
  7. EA81 rear window. She has a leak and there are others looking for the gasket also.
  8. Dave lives here, in the PNW. My contribution, soon to have some changes done.
  9. Adjustable shocks jack the rear up to high, even on the lowest setting. BT-DT. I'll be removing my RX struts soon, I can compare them to other sets I have.
  10. Is all that damage before or after the deer?
  11. You just started a thread here. You cant start a thread in one thats already started. You can only post in it. And make sure you are logged in.
  12. The spring rate is whats different between the RX and GL, I believe. As for the RS, I didnt even look for those. Not sure if they would be the same as a RX or not.
  13. These are all I could find. You need to re-use your springs and tophat. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KYB-234047-Strut-Dr-Side-Frnt-85-86-Subaru-DL-GL-Loyale_W0QQitemZ290299226233QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item290299226233&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A1171|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318 http://www2.partstrain.com/store/?Ntt=Struts&N=1719%2011747%204294965079
  14. All talk......no pics :-\
  15. Get new tune up stuff, make sure you only use NGK plugs. Then check the timing. Make sure before you check, to connect the green plug under the dash/steering column. Then disconnect when done. Timing should be 25deg/800rpm.
  16. What kind of gas have you been using? Did you recently fill with cheap stuff? And how full is the tank?
  17. Or go to one of the numerous wrecking yards here in the PNW and find a used turbo,
  18. You found nothing...because there is none! If you want to do a search (better than me typing a couple of pages), try punching in EA82T in the Retrofit forum. There are numerous threads about doing mods to that engine, the pro's and con's.......mostly the con's. Personally, I'm one of the few that has had good luck on my current engine. But its mainly because its newer and I havent pushed it to the limit. 3 main factors are important.... Reliability Cost Fun Good luck and feel free to ask if you dont know.
  19. Sorry, its been a while since I've messed with one. Its all controlled by the TCU. If you do the swap, you will need the TCU/harness from the swapped tranny (if you upgrade). If its a 3.9 tranny, you will also need to swap out the rear diff to match. Theres quite a few 3.9's out there, so that not a problem finding one. A quick, but not exact way to find out if the transfer clutch is any good is to look at the tires. If they are mismatched in size at all, expect problems with it. If you can get under the hood and inspect it better, I would look for signs of overheating. Oil in the water, etc. It is, after all, a EA82T.
  20. Its probably a late 87 and up. Thats when they started with the 4EAT AWD tranny. It could just be the governor, or it could be totally fubared. Dont know of to many 4EAT's that had bad gov's in them, so its not promising.
  21. Dang, it was emailed to me....didnt require anything for me. I'll rehost it and post the link again. Cant host it, its a Doc. It only effects Evans Creek anyways, so no one from outside the area has to worry. Forwarded the email to Qman.
  22. No, the EA81T would be a horrible engine to put in it. Not to mention all the BS trying to get it hooked up. It should be a SPFI EA82.
  23. No, they dont. I cant imagine why someone would install a cooler of such size either. It could be a oil cooler, but it never had one stock. Maybe the OP can provide a pic of it?
  24. I havent had time yet to go over the whole list of stuff, but it looks like things will be changing up there for sure. And its starting this year. https://docs.google.com/gview?a=v&attid=0.1&thid=12026f45dc7f9422&mt=application%2Fpdf
  25. That info is in the first post.
