In a different thread someone is looking for a tail light and I jokingly commented that I hope it's not a 3 door. I was having a good day until I spotted this at the junkyard...i almost lost my lunch The dash is pristine. Blue. She's at u pull and pay Denver. Anyone out of state want anything? I only want two of those 8 spoke Ea81 4 speed d/r I grabbed what I could before they closed. So sad...let's at least strip her down to nothing on this final leg of this poor cars journey...

Sure, most on here are familiar with reading and clearing codes. "flash" is confusing as it implies tuning. google subaru flash ECU and it'll show COBB, tactrix, open source...us old school owners know the real 'flashing' ECU's - counting LED's to get our codes, haha.

Evening boys. i agree this thread is a font of knowledge. Sparkyboy are you asking me about my wing and chrome? my car has no wing ( rear spoiler, we call them over here) I’d love one if your thinking of moulding them, an original copy. There are no filled holes in my trunk (boot) lid. I don’t think they were fitted in the UK. I posted some pics ages ago, did you see then? There is also no chrome on my car ( except inner door handles) what chrome do you mean Sparkyboy? This weekend I’m finishing welding rear right side subframe mount to body. not easy welding underneath with little experience... my arms are burnt with molten metal drips... do I really need a rotisserie ..... not yet.... i see the New Old stock front struts have sold out on eBay. I hope some guys here got lucky, they were a bargain. btw.. I will change the oil in the lsd while the rear drive is still on my bench, what should use . I like redline 75w90ns. Should I pack more Grease into the UV joints. Tho I’m not sure I can peel back the rubber bellows advice please boys.... btw. I’m after the double Din stereo fitted to later xt’s (xt6 to). With a graphic equaliser.. anybody got one in great condition? G.

I bought a rebuilt Hitachi several years ago and it was still crap. Switched to a Weber and never regretted it, or the money spent. Think of a Weber this way: it's a one-time cost and lasts for as long as you want to drive the vehicle. Check with this company for a Weber: http://www.carburetion.com/index.htm

I had an almost identical situation on a 97 Outback with 2.2 swap. Ended up being the O2 Sensor. I can't find any info from Subaru about how the O2 affects ECU's timing calculations. But in this one case, for me, the timing was randomly retarding to less 13~15 degrees under light throttle cruising (when it should be more like 20~35) When the timing would pull back, the car would feel sluggish, no throttle response. Although for this case it was not a bucking, jerking loss of power. More like when you get to a slight hill and try to give a little more throttle, nothing would happen for several seconds (timing at ~15) then would kick in (timing jumps back up to 30 or so) and then acceleration would feel normal again. Putting in a brand new Denso O2 sensor seems to have stopped that issue and car drives normal now. Timing stays where it should.

I replaced the brushes in the alternator in my Tercel. $4 in parts, some time soldering and bam, good as new. I should mention that this was not the original alternator, but a remanned unit.
