Turbone

Blue Train, you wouldnt believe the stuff Truckers put on and in thier rigs

Welcome home

Its possible that a fusible link is going bad or is loose.

Yea, he's a special guy. We have a few of them around here. Its nice to know that just about anywhere the board has members that they could be willing to help out in a time of need. That includes you and Rick, and everyone else at CCREngines

I know :cool: And there aint nobody gonna get me to tell either. Y'all just gonna have to wait. Zap, your a big teaser

Smart service would be the place to go if you want work done on it. http://www.smart-service.com/ The head gaskets are easy to replace, but for someone not used to working on Soobs, the engine should be pulled. If it has low miles on it, it could be worth repairing, not replacing. And I'm talking about 150K or less, it just broken in then :cool: Oh, and welcome to the best source of info for Subaru's

Welcome to the best board on this side of the pond :cool: If you havent changed the timing belts yet, I would seriously consider it. I'm not real familiar with that year, most get a belt change at 60K. Have you looked at the new STI? If its in your price range, its a nice car. Not very easy to freight a car over to cruise the AB. But renting (?) would be cool if you had a good choice of cars.

How much does he want for it?

Maybe less time on the internet? Of which I am guilty of same :cool:

Get one from a car that doesnt have high mileage

I believe its on all 3dr's. I have it on my RX. Post in the marketplace for it, someone there should have it, or know where one is.

If it has a clutch fan, I would remove it and replace it with an electric one. That way you can turn it on in traffic. I have the regular elec fan plus the accessory fan on my EA82T, and it works quite well.

Did you check Aarons?

Hmm, now that we all know you are of the female persuasion, you will probably get more replies :cool: And I'm not replying because of that, I'm married. The rear gate of your Brat is unique becuase its in good condition, and you have alot of stickers on it. There is another girl on the board (Blue Soob) that used to have a EA82 Wagon that was completly covered on the back with stickers. Must be a girl thing? I heard that there are alot of Peugeuot cars there also. The 1980's 505's and I think some 506's (NOT metric) Alloy and Steel wheels will fit your Brat. Depending on the tire size you use, it will increase your ground clearance, and look real spiffy too. You can send pics to GD or me, or some others on this board that have server space, and we can post full size pics if you want. I dont know why they would leave the center out of a bumper like that Some of the import pick ups here dont come with a rear bumper either, you have to purchase it when you buy the truck, but our Brats always had the full bumper.

Well, I guess we know those will fit on the EA82 hoods now

I was wondering how GD kept snapping axles. Now I know why

Good luck, have fun. Are you driving, or renting when you get down there?

Jason, you need to check the board more often I posted the Turbo Coupe for sale months ago. And even at the low price of $800, I get - Oh man, I wish I had the $, or something else. My Hatch sold pretty quick tho I still have the halfshafts, and with 2 EA82T cars, I'm sure I will need them sometime soon(?). I havent forgot ya :-p I might be updating the price on the T'Coupe tho, if the current interested buyer doesnt come thru. I need $ for parts on the RX. Oh, and I put my snowflakes on the car to see how they would look. The wheels need bigger tires for sure, these are 175's. If someone is willing to trade me the 5 snowflakes for 5 15" alloys, the RX would be pimping.

I would check the V at the lights themselfs. Maybe you have a draw somewhere. I have a pair of factory driving lights mounted on my 86 Turbo Wagon, and they do a pretty good job of filling in.

Ha, that happens to be his Chevy Those are very nice wheels, why dont you hang on to them for a while. I know of a car that they would look very nice on

Corky, you havent seen my collection of parts. Altho I still own one EA81, it might not be for very long. And I saw Qman on Sun and parts were mentioned. Tex, I know you said it was mild dish soap, but I was told by a paint shop that you never use dish soap on cars. Its actually pertoleum based (made to cut grease) and it will do the same to your car. I had a black 82 Coupe that I used dish soap on and it ruined the paint on it. I think I'll use Mequiers stuff, have in the past and its the best I've found.

Well, in earlier threads about this, and I'm sorry but I can remember who brought it up (I'm to lazy right now to look), but the Accel coils are oil filled. When mounted in the horizontal position, the oil isnt cooling the entire unit. Hence overheating is created, then failure results. But theres alot of people running thier coils in this postion, me included (the Hatch)and have had no probs for years. The chrome Accel I had in my 86 Turbo Wagon died in 3 months mounted horizontaly, so there isnt a definate pinpoint cause of failure. And it seems like its been in the last 6 months that the failures have popped up, so I'm leaning towards QC.

If you dont have alot of gas in the tank, it might be a good idea to pull the drain plug and get rid of some of the gunk in the tank.

Quite ingenious. Cant wait to see how it runs.

Did this just happen after the drags at PIR? It could be your timing is off.
