Hi there, just recently got an 85 GL wagon (carbed) and looking for some parts for it but don't know of junkyards around the seattle area that might have what I am looking for. Any suggestions? Also what size is the midpipe going into the muffler? I heard I can improve the power a little bit by putting a less restrictive muffler on (like 2.25 inch?) Thanks!

Well, you've already found one of the best sources in Washington right here. Give us a list of what you are looking for and I'm sure one of the locals can help you out.Welcome to the board.

Hey I live kitsap county tell me what your looking for and ill check my two trusty yards! the beauty of it is your only a boat ride away! Mtnman38

Thanks for the welcome guys! First off, I just love wandering junkyards looking for cool stuff. (who doesn’t though?) But I have been told that a Y pipe off a FI model is a nice upgrade(how hard is it to install?) as well as a larger muffled like I mentioned before. Perhaps find some new shocks for the rear. (Things are so bad that on the freeway oscillations build up in the springs and the back end starts wandering from side to side) And I know it's a long shot but a weber 32/36 manifold sure would be cool to find, cause you can always find the carb itself cheap on www.bmw2002faq.com.

You also have two Pull a Part yards on Hwy 99...one in Lynnwood and the other in South Everett. A third down in Tacoma.

^ PAP rocks. The one in Lynnhood has tons of Soobies.

Winner!

 

More soob parts there than any PAP..

Y'all forgetting my yard?

Great, just what we need, another Sooby nut

Welcome to the board.

Okay, sorry to hijack, But I need to find some parts for my legacy and for the newest member, the 86 gl. Anyway, Where is the yard in Tacoma?

 

Mtnman38, what are the two yards that you go to? I was in a wreck in th legacy and want to fix it before I go back to Idaho for my winter break...

 

 

End hijack...

 

Thanks,

The tacoma yard is right off of 512. on 112th between steele and south tacoma way

Hey, gotta keep trying. But it would be nice to start a folder of wrecking yards by state with locations, phone numbers and comments.

ahem, Ed, wanna share your folder? I know it exists already! heheheh! It's a tough time searching and then waiting a week for something? LOL!

 

In all seriousness, I have a rolodex and add used parts places as needed... unfortunately, they always tell me, "Lady, the car's been crushed... it's all we have." <sigh>

 

Only consumables like brakepads, filters, front axles (you guys break a lot of these:)?) are listed on the most popular websites.

 

OH! Why can't we set up a new forum (incoming! duck!) that people can post places that sell parts, with specifics... it's so hard trying to find things! Yeah... we have the Marketplace, but there are only so many parts available... I have visited websites and the links are broken or gone... just a thought...
