92_rugby_subie Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I dont know if mine ever leaked on the ground, it was the hose under the manifold that had a pinhole leak in it so the coolant pooled onto the engine and then just cooked off. Still funny By the way, that fender looks pretty clean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1982gl4 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 By the way, that fender looks pretty clean! Thanks! I'm surprised how well if fit considering it was an aftermarket one, I used por15 on the whole back side edges and bottom, so I could prevent the rust for a while.

Ricearu Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Yeah this one did, it was mounted on top of the dash in place of the compartment that's usually there, I have seen them on a few 2.5 rs's as well but they are a rarity. This is the 4th one I have ever seen. I think it was a dealer installed option. They are very easy to wire up, if you do find one just don't forget to get the temp sensor behind the grill for the out door temp!!!!! My foz has one! First I had ever seen. It was part of the OUTDOOR package 2 on mine. also came with front push bar. which is also cool as he!! It had the gauge, "brush guard" and forester logo? they are really rare at $662 for the package... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for today, I ordered 02 wrx seats for my 92 lego, and got a parts car, she's a beauty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1982gl4 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 She does, and I see you need a center console, but I'm using it for my five speed swap, sorry :-\, I have another blue one, and a grey one, but they are both for autos, and the blue one has a chunk missing out of the back of the arm rest... I can take photos for you if they will do you any good! But I won't be able to do anything until I finish my swap as I like to keep spare parts for when I break things PM me if you would like -Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricearu Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 darn. what about the panel under the steering wheel that covers the column and wiring. mine is hot glued in 4 pieces and still staberific! if the grey one is nice, i can make it blue with interior paint.

1982gl4 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 It may I'll have to look! I'll post pics when I get it home this weekend. The inside is pretty moldy, but I think it will clean up well. I really got it for the pedals, linkages, cables, and console associated with the five speed swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Got a new rear tube frame for my GL. So hopefully I can start work on getting that all put back together soon! I really miss that car. I can't wait for it to be back on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertsubaru Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I working on swapping out my whole drive-train from an auto to 5 speed D/R. I have the donor car stripped and now starting on the good car. Its a lot of hard work but the 86 wagon I got is in really good shape and worth it. http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q204/Easycz52/Picture145.jpg http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q204/Easycz52/Picture146.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicchic Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I was having backfiring issues and a continuing loss of power and hesitation. New PCV Valve, NGK plugs, checked the routing of all leads, removed the little yellow wire from the coil (not a standard ignition on her, will be popping an E81 in soon). Carb cleaner is my friend and I introduced most of the vacuum tubes of the carb to some. Set her on fire...yes. Set her on fire... While tracking down a vacuum leak at the base of the carb I sprayed a few times to be sure it wasn't a random surge and WHOOF big flames.... Reset the timing.. put a bunch on Kroll oil into the rusted interior of the Dizzy... Then after all that irritated the whole neighborhood by tooling about with joy because she's suddenly feeling great. Still have to do the valve adjustment..but waiting on Monday.

Turbone Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Had to fix this today. If you have a EA81, I suggest pulling the cowling off and lubing their hinges if the hood feels stiff. You cant spray lube into where the arm goes, it wont get to the hinge bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1982gl4 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Put rally armor mud flaps and hellas on my lego yesterday, I also put a full GT lip kit and buffed the headlights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboymechanic Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Removed the rotten trialer hitch Mounted up 26" BFGoodrich tires (off Tom's Loyale) Straightened the steering wheel out so it isn't at a 45 degree angle when I go down the road (turn signals shut off properly now too).
