Ryuko91 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Right before it starts raining... My stereo got ripped off, and in the process they were kind enough to do this as well. Stereo wasn't a huge loss, it was a Dual Electronics $40 deck, 40W over 4 channels, it put out pretty terrible sound quality, but I guess they needed it more than I did. Any ideas on some kind of quick fix? I can't find an 87 or newer parts car here, lumpycam has a couple parts wagons up here, but they're older than 87 and have the dash controls. And the yard here is subieless again. My wipers still work, I just have to push the stick in and hold it there. But that's no fun when driving over 45mph in a downpour of snowy rain.

Turbone Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Try starting a thread in the wanted forum, theres bound to be somebody that has one. Take the cover off and see if theres a way to clamp it till you get the part you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryuko91 Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 I've found a certian amount of electrial tape with the right tension keeps them going while it's raining, but I won't have to do that much longer! The ONLY Subaru I've seen in the yard here for a month or so. When I got there, it was on the forks going to the crusher, but I got to pick though it and came up with this: Oh, and WOW, taking a steering wheel off by yourself without a puller SUCKS. I accidentally ruined the nut because it threaded back on while I was hitting it, and I had to rip the nut off the steering column with pliers. But I guess it was a learning experience. Anyway, this is out of an '88 DL coupe. The connectors are female on this unit, however the plugs on the one in my '87 GL wagon, happen to be male. The pin out looks the same, but this looks like a lot of soldering and taping to me. I'd go get the other side of the plug and try to switch pins out, but they probably smashed the car by now. :-\ Are these connectors different for a reason, or did they just not feel like making everything easy on us 20+ years later?

Gloyale Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 87 models are bastard clusterfarks of oddball electrical connectors. Those headlights are DL lights, not coupe specific. Now what is Coupe specific is that Grill. Me WANT! Had one on my wagona dn it looked sweet, but it got broken. Now I got a lame Loyale grill.

Ricearu Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 yeah I know the lights are just dl, but the rear quarter glass, grille, and a few other parts might hold some value... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I have a random RX rear piece IIRC. Its the most rear interior trim piece with the interior light and switch. Might have a crack but still looks decent when I saw it last. It might be gone though:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
