Dang it, those pieces of ****.. I went to go get a quote on front and rear 87-90 wagon bumpers, shifter linkage bushing and the air struts on the back hatch and it came to like 700 some dollars..

 

Screw the dealers.. I'd pay that kind of money if not more for wrx parts but not a soob thats now 19 years old..

don't go with the bumpers. bushings shouldn't be bad, but I know the Air struts are highly priced...

I just talked to my guy at the JY

125 for a brand new 88 bumper

50 for a good used rear 88 bumper

The hatch struts should be availible through http://www.thepartsbin.com for around $20 each brand new.....

thx GD, I'll bookmark it

Torxxx, if you're willing to wait until the beginning of april, I can probably get the bumpers (need paint) for you. I may be needing the front bumper from my parts car, but the rear is definitely available. I've also got the struts, but I think they are pretty much useless.

 

Make an offer if you want it.

$700 for all that stuff isn't bad for the dealer.. they wanted $500 just for the AC compressor for my 87 wagon...

hehe, glad I dont need one of those up here in Alaska..

 

I just wish part price depreciated like car value does.. thats all

so, I just got off the phone with Carter subaru in seattle, they want $822 for a carburator and over $120 for door locks (each door)

anyone know a source for rebuilt carbs (and maybe NOS door lock assemblies)?

-Dok

Don't mess with the carb - get a Weber.

 

GD

I'd consider the Weber, but it won't pass emissions right?

 

-Dok

Yes - it can pass emmisions. I know several People in WA state that have passed with Weber's.

 

GD

whats a matter with your door locks have you tried going to a locksmith they can usually fixs anything or rebuild it fairly cheap

He speaks the truth - down here there's a place - I've talked to them about it. They can rebuild just about anything. The price is on the order of $25 per lock. Probably better if you remove it for em.

 

GD

The weber can pass emmissions tests as long as your state doesnt have a under the hood inspection.

Alaska has the stupidest IM..

 

They were going to fail me because I had a rachet wedged in temp. holding my evap canister in bracket.

I "promised him that it was being fixed the next day"
