  1. Thats ok, just thought it would make things easier for shipping, and 10% was the figure I was thinking Ed. And I did think about the crunch factor Yea, let me know if the lights are good and how much to ship to 98321. Thanks.
  2. If its got good tail lights, throw them in the box with the LSD and I'll help Ed with the shipping
  3. Yea, its the regulator most the time. I'll see what the tech says once we get some fixed. We might be able to get a line on parts, so maybe others not in our general area can get some repaired.
  4. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17288 I should be talking to the tech this weekend, and will hopefully get the ball rolling again. There seems to be a few more people with bad digi's out there and we're trying to get some done. One thing eveyone needs to be aware of. When there is a squeeling noise coming from the dash area, shut of the ignition immediately and replace the alternator. For those of you who have pulled the units out, you will notice the speaker on the back. This is a warning device for when the alternator is starting to spike and do other bad things.
  5. Excellent work Mate! But you forgot to tell us how well it bloody runs
  6. Some people prefer S/R for the street. My 86 Turbo Wagon has it, but thats the Wifes car. She wouldnt know what to do with D/R
  7. Yes, they are in the tank. But they have different resistance values :-p But like I stated earlier, I might have some repaired and available soon. And I doubt they will be at a ridiculous price either
  8. Oh yea, forgot this one and the post above reminded me. The fuel tank sending unit is different with the digidash, and I'm pretty sure the temp is also. They may work, but they wont be right.
  9. How good are your electrical wiring skills? Can you read the wiring diagrams in the FSM? Do you have alot of patience? Not to many people (2, maybe) have done a digi to analog swap. I'm trying (still) to get some of these digidashes repaired, had a small problem getting some parts, but things should start rolling again soon. As soon as I have 1 or 2 available I will post it here.
  10. Uh, you should have called me first If you havent bought it from the stealer yet, shoot me an email or if you still have my #, call.
  11. It depends if the car is AWD and has AT. It should be towed with wheels off ground or disconnect the rear driveline. I would luv to help you for the parts, but I need a tow dolly :-\
  12. Plop a small block of dry ice on the IC. It wont last to long, but it would sure keep it cool. Might be a good idea for RallyX.
  13. Normally a small crack between the valves is common. But if the crack continues up into the exhaust port it usually means the crack goes into the water jacket. Having the the heads welded is costly in some areas. The last estimate I had several years ago was $150US. It could be more or less where you are. I think if the block had a crack, you would be losing more than water.
  14. From looking at the pics of your car, it looks to me like you have some real bad glass. I would suggest getting some newer ones from work The ones on my 86 are as bright as new.
  15. Its quite possible the governor is bad. Its on the passenger side of the tranny. This link will take you to the Repair Manual article. Gov repair for AT's
  16. The XT I "had" was bolted(downpipe) to everthing it was supposed to be. When I removed the engine, I had to remove the downpipe. Once the bolts were removed, the thing fell apart on the ground. It wasnt even that loud when running. After re-reading the first post, are we talking about the crossover pipe? The one on my 86 Turbo Wagon was cracked, under the shield so you cant see it. But you could sure hear it. WJM, what kind of boost were you running when you had overboost? I have had a couple of turbo's that had the first cat gutted, and it ran quite well. Of course, I hadnt messed with the boost (yet).
  17. Nope, the seats are not a direct swap. The rails have to be modified. Do a search, theres been a few threads on the swap. To do a LSD swap, first check the sticker on the back of the diffs. If they match, then its a straight swap.
  18. Sure would like to have the ground effects But your right, thats alot of work to make it "look" like an RX. Even the seats are from a RX.
  19. Well, I'm kind of stuck on the turbos. But I've had plenty of N/A's too. And so far nothing newer than the 89 RX. But if I had a choice................1 of each please
  20. You will have to forget about the 5 lug conversion too. If the XT6 is 2wd, it wont swap to a 4wd. But fixing them both will give you 2 great cars
  21. Swapping the engine/tranny into the wagon sounds like a good idea. And just fix the XT6. That way you have 2 rigs to drive But I am a little confused, you said the wagon is a GL10T. That means its a turbo. If not, you will have a real headache converting it to a turbo.
  22. Yep, what everyone else said. I had a 82 GLF that I put another motor in, but I had no idea what it came out of(long story). I removed the blocks because I installed a Weber and didnt need all the emissions stuff. Get my drift?
