86 GL Wagon sticking throttle
Turbone replied to gkowen's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Use some carb cleaner on the linkage also, it might free it up some. When you remove the throttle cable, inspect the cable good, look for any frayed pieces. This will cause it to hang up. Another point is the bracket that holds the cable sheath end. If its tweaked it will cause the cable to bind, make sure its straight. -
Dont forget, theres still going to be a mudpit at the Fairgrounds. I dont think we need any real radical trail rides, breakage on a trail is no fun. Speaking of breakage and hopefully this never happens, but what about a local hospital? I think I remember where the NAPA store is, it was pretty busy when we came into town:-p

anyone ever hydrolock?
Turbone replied to Steven Romero's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
And just do it slowly, so it has a chance to do its work and get out the exhaust. The 84 Turbo Coupe I used to have was completly locked up when I got it. The PO said that they blew a hose when going up a grade with the AC on. It got hot so quick that the oil was percolating out the filler tube and seized up. I got it home and pulled the sparkplugs out, then cranked it over. It was like 4 mini gysers, each cylinder was full of oil. But after a tune up and a few other items it fired right up and ran like a champ. -

Look, theres no easy way to lower your car. It means you would either have to cut the springs (not a good idea) or go the 5 lug swap route (which might put it out of your price range). I suggested no heavy mods, just make it a nice daily driver until you can afford or find something better. If you dont like our ideas here, go to NASIOC.com. They will help. -

Ok, time to inject some old man mentality here. If I were you (God, wish I was) I would concentrate on my driving . You have been driving for what? A year maybe? If you try and make your car look faster, your just going to try and drive faster. That means tickets, accidents, maybe death. You need to learn how to be subtle. Tints the windows. Trust me, this is nice when your GF is in the car with you. Put a nice sound system in it. Then just learn to drive it, learn how to work on it and enjoy it for a while. -

HELP!!! 1984 GL Digital Gauges (wont work)
Turbone replied to blackbuggy's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The early digidashes are extremely sensitive to any flucuation of voltage. The buzzing you hear means the regulator in the dash is fried. If you can find someone in CN to fix it that would be to your benefit. Otherwise the wait here is long to find/fix one. -
EA81T, hissing noise from fuel system

How small? I think theres some PCV lines on the back of the manifold, but I cant remember where they all go. -

Vacume leaks? The turbo is a closed system, any leaks and it might not start. -

If the amp is bridgeable you can use it to run 2 or just one speaker. Thats 600watts for one, or 300ea for 2. -

I guess some have problems with spelling in Oz too TORBO! -
TOD is most common with the hydraulic lifter cars. Came in 83 with the EA81 turbo engine. All the EA82's after that had hyd lifters.

87 4 door GL -help- what to do?
Turbone replied to Tyler_Seattle's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
He mentioned changing the clutch, so I assume its a MT. But it looks like a 2wd. If so, to make it 4wd you have alot of work to do. Lift kits are available from 2 different sources here. The best places to get parts are at the Lynnwood PAP, Aarons Subaru wrecking/recycled parts and the Tacoma PAP. -

Ok, lets stay on topic. It looks like the graphics for the flyers (and maybe more) is going to be the license plate theme. I dont think this is going to work for the hats. How about if we stick to something more Subaru related? That way the hat can be worn for all occasions. But still have the WCSS8 on it, but not as prominant. -
I think he passed thru Sac about 2 days ago. Quote> fbh Good luck noah, and if you get REALLY bloody lost, I'm in Auckland New Zealand, 6421-132-6089 Now that would be a serious wrong turn

Why not get another intake? No sense in messing around trying to juryrig something.

Excuse me for posting the wrong name of the part It is the fuel regulator. I dont know how you would see if the diaphram is bad, its a sealed unit. I would just crank the engine over for about 5sec, give it rest and repeat a few times. This should purge the lines of air. -

It just dawned on me. We display the logo on the top of every page here. Did we need permission? Our are we just taking a chance they dont notice?
