  1. Mine was in pretty good shape. It did have the bottoms of the quarter panels behind the doors rusted out, but its a easy fix. It had a brand new top and other goodies. Won Peoples Choice-Sedan/Coupe last year at WCSS11
  2. Yes, it was. I miss it sometimes :-\
  3. Well, shot a short vid today after pulling it under my canopy :-\
  4. Yup, the black fuse is the main/primary ignition fuse. Every time I go to the wrecking yards, I make sure I check the box and pull the links if they are there. I'll look thru my stash and see how many I got left. Ok, I can send one to you. Just PM me your addy.
  5. According to that map, its Federal land. If the Feds dont wanting you crossing/fording the streams, I suspect they will either post a sign or close the road down. I've been in that area and there are several stream crossings. When it rains heavy or the snow is melting, there are creeks running every where. But please tread lightly.
  6. Dave inspired me today. I was also bored
  7. Ahhh! Booooo Still looks good tho
  8. I think you missed your true calling
  9. This is the original post.. To the OP (if he returns), we just dont have the resources here to help with this request.
  10. I replaced the top electrical unit on the IAC and it helped some, but it still throws a code. But its running better and I can keep the idle down with the occasional blip of the throttle. But you know what happens when you fix one problem? Yeah, something else rears its ugly head This one isnt engine related (almost wish it was) but drivetrain. I was hoping it would last a little longer than it did, but I'm never easy on my equipment. The front diff went out on me today on my home from a Wed night meet. I was still about 4mi from home, a lot of it uphill. When it went crunch, I pulled over to listen to it. Clutch in, clutch out.......lots of noise :-\ It even locked up on me when I tried rolling forward and reverse. About the 7th time of letting out the clutch it rolled but still rattled, but I decided to take a chance. Made it all the way home, only stopping once at a stop sign. Now I get to do a tranny swap
  11. Ok, finally getting some where. First off, the ECS light is different than the Engine/Ign light on the dash. Once I hooked up the signal wire from the ECU to the correct EA harness wire(which I had to trace from the board on the dash), I got a code, hura! Popped out a 24 code, the IAC..........go figure Capt r came by today and we did a quick test on his IAC. We unplugged it and the car idle decreased but didnt die, basically what mine did. I tested the power to my IAC and its good, 11v+ The ohms at the IAC was 10.5 when it was supposed to be 9, so I'm swapping it out for another one that tested at 9ohms. Hopefully this will do the trick (fingers/toes crossed)
  12. You can read about my swap into my RX. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=110912
  13. If you have some way to apply suction to the vac advance diaphragm, that may tell you if its bad or not.
  14. No, because our bolt pattern (4x140mm) is totally different than Nissan, Toyota and the others. You can find some Enkie's that look like the JDM's in our pattern, but they are hard to find.
  15. You will also need a turbo crossmember, to clear the up-pipe. The car should haver FI also. Plus the wiring harness, ECU, etc. In other words, its not a direct swap.
  16. You may have to use the whole hub, as the calipers wont bolt up (that Im aware of). Not sure if the rotors will fit the hub or not.
  17. The cable is adjusted correctly (for the 3rd time) and the car doesnt die when I pull the IAC plug. When I have the test plugs connected, shouldnt I have power to the CEL light?
  18. Yeah, how many miles do you have on yours skippy? At least I can drive it, albeit with a high idle. Other than that, it runs like a champ. Oh, my mpg went to h e l l tho Only running 8lbs, going to keep it there too. And Russ, I'll still make fun of you, karma be damned
  19. Its been a long time since I've dealt with a 3AT 4wd, but I think the accuator has a pin that locks it into 4wd. I recall one of my t-coupes broke this pin and 4wd wouldnt engage. I think its on the drivers side towards the back, round and I also think its electrical.
  20. Well, I'm not getting far in my troubleshooting. I hooked up my CEL light and it wont work. As in no power from the ECU Unhooked the IAC and it will idle at 2k steady, instead of rising to 2.5k and dropping when I hit the throttle. I may have to tear apart this stupid harness to find out whats wrong :-\ Its all Caboob's fault......he jinxed me
  21. One of the lines on the turbo is a coolant line, make sure its tight. If its tight and still leaking, remove the bolt and check to see if there a copper gasket on both sides of the fitting. Also make sure the hose clamps are tight.
