July 3, 201015 yr Looks good, same rack I have (Surco) Are you running Forester springs or something? Looks good I have a 3" lift kit.
July 3, 201015 yr Going to have to rethread a plug hole. Looks like one was loose and did some damage to the threading. Cleaned up old and new oil off engine parts. Remounted the jump seats for the kids to play in the back. Repaired a plug wire that I pulled the connecter off. You know, I need to quit tinkering. Every time I do I have more things to do on it.
July 5, 201015 yr Dude what the hell.......... why. If your gonna roll with MilesFox, your gonna drive a Trashwagon.
July 5, 201015 yr Hooked up some yellow harbor freight fogs. They work better than i thought they would. Edited July 7, 201015 yr by Kartier
July 7, 201015 yr I bought O-rings to rebuild my oil pump with. The moron behind the counter gave me the wrong **** parts. And I didn't realize it until I got the pump tore apart (this is my first oil pump) $&%*!!! Anyway, I get to drive all the way up Camp Subaru in spokane to get my parts replaced with the right ones. Do NOT go to camp unless you're ordering something for an EJ series, and its next to impossible to screw up. Twitch(ing)
July 7, 201015 yr It drives me nuts when I get the wrong part for something, and don't realize it until I have everything torn apart. I get both mad at myself for not checking before hand that all my parts were right, and mad at the idiot who sold me the wrong part ... grrr. I feel your pain.
July 7, 201015 yr I got the right O-rings for my oil pump I'll spare this thread the details I had to go through to get them. But if anybody is looking to rebuild an EA81 oil pump, you're better off pulling it off and taking it to a hydraulics place. They usually have walls of metric O-rings. Twitch
July 7, 201015 yr Picked up an 89 GL Wagon yesterday, and ordered a new radiator for my 91 Loyale. And I still havn't done anything to my 92 Legacy with a bad tranny.
July 8, 201015 yr Author http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gggctwsf-wM :grin::grin:speaks for itself :grin: although it does have a stripped exhaust stud hole. came like that. Edited July 8, 201015 yr by Ricearu
July 13, 201015 yr Put a new all metal radiator in my 91. Also got my brakelight problem figured out in my 89.
July 14, 201015 yr new front struts (xt4 fwd) and a big adjustment on the coil overs. its lower now but has about 2" more travel. Sorry for crappy cell phone pic.
July 14, 201015 yr My BRAT lives again Just rebuilt the oil pump, put on new valve cover gaskets, and put on a new clutch cable. My oil pressure actually stays above 25 psi at idle Twitch
July 15, 201015 yr just drove her 250+ miles on new motor did good! the new motor is in. hi comp ea81 build. doing the Pend Oreille Poker Paddle. Have pics of her witrh canoes on it!!! 22.4 mpg. running 70-75 5th gear. 3200 rpms.
July 15, 201015 yr 1989 Justy 30 K had to slightly molest it but nothing that is not reversable: (Yes the bumper will be repainted) The hoses actually clear the plate. I ran the hoses so that I can service the car easily. They clear everything. I am still trying to figure out how to run the wires for these. the wires under the hood are pretty much hidden. The white one is a spare for future use. And yes I ran out of hose clamps. Oil temp sensor is Teed off the remote oil filter adapter. The pressure sender is on the IN line to the oil filter. I wanted to keep the factory light. The oil filter is from s Ford 302 engine and almost holds 1 qt. My math came up with some silly amount of added volume, but it is almoet 15 feet of 1/2 inch tubing (including the cooler). I am proud of this as I used to build things like this for a living. 8-) Edited July 16, 201015 yr by nipper
