June 20, 201114 yr Swapped out my problematic gl wagon motor for a lower mileage one that I had resealed last year; took off all the air conditioning parts in the engine bay and put on dl alternator brackets. Could be time for a new project now that the 88 gl wagon and 87 gl 3-door are running well.
June 20, 201114 yr Author me and roommate drove to BFE to cannibalize a 98 OBW. He got the scoopy hood, I got the outback limited wheels and front brakes. He was jealous of my sexy brakes so we went to Pick N Pull and got him some big brakes too! My tires are too big for the wrx shocks so I won't be upgrading the brakes until I get me some smaller 15" tires for my ob rims (currently on 14"s that wont fit over the twin-pots my wheels look like these http://www.cheapusedcarsbyowner.com/detail/1998-Subaru-Legacy-Outback-Limited-Wagon-4D-CDHURUHaUCRHaCDRUDsa.html

June 21, 201114 yr -Pulled a restored 60's camero back to its home with my 87 GL wagon. -Retuned the weber for summer. -got my legacy outback Pedders lift/hd springs in the mail
June 21, 201114 yr Decided that after the 42 was removed from the Garage (see non-soob cars discussion area) I needed to clean it up for a Subaru After 6 hours of cranking Pandora in Ned and lots of trips up to the 7-11 for refills on Soda (cranking tunes and pissing people off with the cherrybomb)... Ned owns the garage again Its how it should be! I want to wire in my lonely fog light (other got smashed) in behind the grill kinda as a third eye, or buy another set and mount them below the bumper
June 21, 201114 yr Author FOGS! I didn't like them that far apart so I moved them inside one more predrilled hole ( those bolts that hold the bumper skin on sure are good for stuff! Even EJ, my dog agreed! some "yard" shots Edited June 21, 201114 yr by Ricearu
June 21, 201114 yr I saw these on Expedition Portal, car is lookin great! Im prepping the GL for a Weber EGR delete
June 21, 201114 yr Thanks dude. one step at a time to make this rig as dependable as possible. Ditching the Hitachi was a HUGE step in that direction. More pics to come. Weber is supposed to be here this afternoon.
June 22, 201114 yr FOGS! I didn't like them that far apart so I moved them inside one more predrilled hole ( those bolts that hold the bumper skin on sure are good for stuff! Even EJ, my dog agreed! our cars are a lot a like, I got the hellas though. I wanted to mount mine lower, but couldn't due to me liking to drift into snow banks during the winter Now you need some sick mudflaps. P.S. I have a fish named EJ.

I like the black one too and the dogs named EJ? Awesome
June 22, 201114 yr Your Leggy is pretty sick. I like the black one too and the dogs named EJ? Awesome Thanks! I really don't have much time into it so far, just a five speed swap and hellas along with the mud flaps, soon to come wrx struts (have just not installed) and bigger brakes off form a newer outback!
June 22, 201114 yr Thanks! I really don't have much time into it so far, just a five speed swap and hellas along with the mud flaps, soon to come wrx struts (have just not installed) and bigger brakes off form a newer outback! Do you have a build thread or just keeping us updated here? Thats still a lot further than I would be with a Leggy right now... but it really is neat, nice job!
June 22, 201114 yr Here is my build thread for ya! http://www.newenglandsubarus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19873
June 22, 201114 yr umm, that is all wrong. my blue arrow is pointing to what? a filter? that line needs to cross over and tie into the left head breather hose, and also t into the pcv. there is a diagram on here of pcv flow, and that head needs air being pulled out of it circulating to the left head....please look it up. if you dont do it rightm you will possibly blow the motor up as others have done when not doing this correctly.
June 22, 201114 yr Went up to my preferred neck of the woods to grab my 1981 BRAT finally and ended up with a 1980 1600 Wagon as well that I had to buy to ensure getting the BRAT (price was too good to pass regardless). Then had to get them to the property and that took 2 days, a trailer, and tow truck. BRAT has no hydraulics but is an EA81 with D/r that I gotta put the disty back in and supposed blown head on the 80 (didn't have time nor battery to play, will have to wait til I go back up at the end of summer to grab the BRAT).

The way I have it is a traditional "open PCV" routing. People have been doing this since PCV systems have been on cars. The PCV valve draws from the drivers side. Passenger side provides a filtered air source. Unless you have some undeniable proof that this will cause a problem, I will continue to run it this way.
