November 11, 200916 yr Sold the GL-10 to a buddy of mine. He's gonna replace the tranny and do a few engine mods. He builds his own turbo setups, so I have a feeling that the GL-10 went to a good home.
November 12, 200916 yr I like the thought of keyless entry! Do the lights flash when you push the button? I don't like Remote Start, Seen it fail 1 to many times (Even O.E equipped systems) Selenoid sticks on grinding the hell out of your flywheel, something interferes with a signal and your car sits in the parking lot for hours idleing. But I do like keyless and a door intrusion alarm! -Tom The Parking lights do flash. I'm going to re-work the parking light wire to the hazards or something because every wire i probe seems to want to turn the headlights on. (edit: If I turn off the lights when done driving (which i dont), they dont flash with the parking lights, otherwise they do) I've actually never had a problem with remote start *knock on wood*. although whenever i use it i usually am relatively near the car to check on it. (I park my car like 5 feet from my office- i can hear it from my desk), That and you can "kill" the engine from the remote as well. I LOVE the keyless entry. I mainly installed it for the reason of - I have NO key that fits the doors. Leaving it unlocked all the time seems dumb. 'corse at the same time locking it does too seeing as i'm stuck if the keyless doesnt work. so i came to a happy medium, removed the actuator from the liftgate, installed it in the driver door. and leave the gate unlocked. Cant "visually" see if its unlocked. and if you open it, the door intrusion goes off. ..... Now if i could only get the horn to work.. :-\ .. must be a relay or the horn itself.. or both.. meh. next week's project. Edited November 12, 200916 yr by crazyman03
November 12, 200916 yr That'll be cool, hope you can figure out the wiring (Hay stack) Check to see if your getting good ground for the horn - as the horn relies on ground in order to sound. But my guess is the horns then selfs are rusted closed. Good luck!
November 12, 200916 yr The Parking lights do flash. I'm going to re-work the parking light wire to the hazards or something because every wire i probe seems to want to turn the headlights on. (edit: If I turn off the lights when done driving (which i dont), they dont flash with the parking lights, otherwise they do) Just a thought on this... Did you try the wires coming from the parking light switch on the steering column? They always have power, and they only do the parking lights. I seem to remember on my old wagon that I installed an alarm with keyless entry on that I used those wires. I had the lights flashing no matter what on that bad boy, but it's been too long since then to remember specifically, but you should be able to get it to work. My 2 cents... Edit, sorry to hijack this, my bad!! I just realized that... sorry Edited November 12, 200916 yr by eulogious My Bad

November 12, 200916 yr A few pics from this last week on things I've done. Restored and repainted the bracket and all the screws for it. Same with the bracket for the fuel filter POR-15'ed the rear tool box area Installed high watt headlights: Luminics Titanium White 120/140w 5,500k Removed all the A/C lines and thae A/C Condenser, only thing left is the A/C pump. Popped on my fender moldings I pulled at "Subaru Heaven" I think thats about it, and heres a video of it Click me! -Tom
November 12, 200916 yr Ya know i did try a wire from that (probed, and flicked the switch on/off). Granted, i didnt take apart the whole steering column. Might try that. I'd prefer the blinkers though simply because it looks cleaner. (the license plate lights and dash lights lighting up seem, well, notsogood) Thanks for the input though. Aside from the horn and possibly the parking lights. Next project: Wheel bearings!! I got a nasty rubbing sound (not tire rubbing) coming from the pass. side. OH YAY!. Then Converting the front marker lights to flash. Probably not in that order but still.. -Justin
November 13, 200916 yr put an alternator on the beast... working on getting the power steering mounted. The rear diff is on the floor - just welded up the spider gears, and now it's waiting to go back in Since this pic, I've narrowed the front end a bit...
November 13, 200916 yr picked up a rust free hatch for Casper and installed it. I will paint it when the car gets paint. I may add a stick on lip but there will be no holes drilled in this hatch EVER!!!
November 13, 200916 yr picked up a rust free hatch for Casper and installed it. I will paint it when the car gets paint. I may add a stick on lip but there will be no holes drilled in this hatch EVER!!! Dude, I had the exact same color hatch on my RX, and it fit exactly like yours (appears to be lower than the rear fenders) Its like deja vu -Bill
November 13, 200916 yr yep and there is no height adjustment LOL oh well it's sealed and has ZERO RUST!!! BTW: Anyone want the rear body kit from an RX I'll be removing mine soon it's unneeded weight on a racecar.
November 14, 200916 yr The new hatch looks great, Wonder why you and Bill had the same color and they both fit the same! WTH is with that? -Tom
November 14, 200916 yr I dunno maybe the gl had a different latch I should probably start getting things together to paint the car so everything matches Edited November 14, 200916 yr by vagen
November 14, 200916 yr I just picked up an EJ20 quad cam single turbo for my '89 RX ...currently looking for donor cars and conversion parts. Edited November 14, 200916 yr by T'subaru tried to attach image
November 14, 200916 yr fresh photos of the Suby with the new hatch and the rear body kit removed. not 56k safe
November 14, 200916 yr I like the cleaness of it now - without the body kit peices and without a lip or wing on the trunk. Looks good! -Tom
November 15, 200916 yr once I get the fender flares it will get body work and paint. Im probably going with white again. Edited November 15, 200916 yr by vagen

November 15, 200916 yr Just got finished rebuidling the brake system and installing brand new windshield. Also re-did the interior with pull-a-part pieces. Body work and more to come in the spring.
November 15, 200916 yr fresh photos of the Suby with the new hatch and the rear body kit removed. not 56k safe Reminds me of mine a bit, except I have a thing for excessive aggressive rake I only took off the rear fairings though, I liked the side skirts This is the current condition of that rig though That pretty much sums up the story of my RX... Hope you have better luck! -Bill
