Turbone

Freedster, just a few things to clarify. You have the Hatchback. The 3dr with hatch is a EA82 model. Same engine size, different configuration. Also, you should have front disc brakes already. All you need is the rear discs from a 4wd EA82 (85-89) Turbo (and sometimes GL-10). The Impreza suspension/brake upgrade is much easier on the EA82 models.

Check the grounds in the engine compartement. Also may need to remove the dash panel to clean the grounds on the back of it. Check plugs that go into the back of panel also.

Dragonlee, yours is a EA82 engine. It has timing belts, OHC and a llittle more HP than the EA81's do. Also came with a 5spd dual range tranny, which can be mated to a EA81 engine(with a few mods).

The 2 top pics are what we refer to as "Hatches/Hatchbacks". You just have a plain jane Wagon. And I was always taught to question authority

I'm a little confused, and a bit surprised that the good Dr. didnt ask (unless I missed something). Is this 88GL Hatch a EA81 or EA82? Does it have the small hatch or the big window hatch? The EA82 GL is usually called a 3 door. The 5 lug will work on EA82's, but its a real PIA to do it on a EA81. Rear disc's can be gotten from all EA82 turbo'ed cars, and its practically bolt on.

Mine has a 8in lift and the T-case fits snug. I might be able to take some pics this weekend and get them posted. Someone wanted to see the skid plate on the front.

Gary (All Talk), Qman sold the 3 door his son had about a week ago. I agree, a 2 door hard top is a grand idea. I hope you do it.

Its one of the guys from down under. Dont recognise the Brat tho.

The wheel are 15x8 Modern's from Les Schwabs.

Indeed. I would be expecting a big mess under the car sometime soon, something like a water baloon popping

Doh!

Nope. If it was a standard 3 door, then it might fly. Now can I have my tires and lights back? Btw, does my sig fit your page better?

Hey Ryan, glad to see your still around Hang in there, your Soob will come. Whats that old saying? "Good things come to people who wait" But dont pass up any good opportunities either, cause the other old saying is "You snooze, you loose"

YVR? Who goofed?

So I take it, this is a keeper?

Is the car carbed or FI? Either way, get a can of Carb Cleaner. Start the engine, remove the air cleaner/intake plenum, give it some rpm's and spray liberaly down the carb. Almost to the point of stalling it. This might clean out any garbage that got past the fuel filter.

No way. I went to the dark side long ago and I aint going back That was one of my mistakes the other night. Thinking that everything was cool, just sloshing thru the mud without a care :cool: Yeah, right :-\

Maybe something like Austin did, a montage.

I was thinking about that. I may have to remove the wagon, its the wifes anyway Or else make a link to it.

Ah yes, a solid sheet of Mithril from the bumper back to the x-member and about 18in wide. Didnt keep me from getting high centered last night tho Hmm, should I name it Gimli? Or one of his kin? I've got some time (not much) before the HP starts to get real serious, I'll have it setup better. With my tow strap and come along. This is the original thread from the Marketplace. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=28671 I have the Hatch, he has my old truck.

That would be this one.

Did you try any of the above ideas?

Got it home Sat night, drove all the way from PDX with no radio, just the hum of 30in Swampers. Got some work to do on it, mostly minor stuff. But there is one issue I need to deal with ASAP. I took it out last night just down the street from where its been cleared some what. There was a path that the looging truck had made so I followed it back to the end and was turning around to come out. Well, it was probably the worst part of the road and I didnt turn sharp enough and dropped the front end in a deep hole and high centered it at the same time. No traction at all, and you know why? OPEN DIFF I knew it, and shouldnt have even gone back there by myself and with out any recovery gear. Had my cell phone with me(duh) and gave a call to Qman. He was out there pretty quick and had me back on the path in no time. Theres no way this rig is going to follow the HP with it stup like this. But I got her good and dirty

Thats what Trip Permits are for. For the cost of one(or 2) of these, you will have piece of mind and the are usually good for 3 days. Not that nagging doubt about how much the fine will cost you for using plates from another car. Any car bought from a used car dealer should issue a title upon sale of the car, you should not have to wait for it.

Well, I'm going to be the first one to say it. WELCOME HOME PAT! He should be rolling in around 9am then. Let us know if you need help unpacking, Pat.
