The moral of this story is that if the price seems to be too good to be true it probably is. Sorry you had to learn the hard way. O.

Looking closer at the wiring diagram I can see that when the Parking Switch is ON the parking lights only will light, NO Dash Lights. When the Parking Switch is OFF it makes a connection so that when the Headlight Switch is turned ON to parking lights, the parking lights and the Dash lights will light. Same for headlights. So, it looks like the Parking Switch might be good and the Relay may be bad. I think it is the Relay because it is controlled by the headlight switch and turns on the parking lights, then that power goes through the Parking Switch (OFF) to light the Dash and other lights. The relay is listed as Tail & Illumination Relay.

After tinkering away for a few more weeks I figured Id post an update. I decided to swap the chassis bushings with poly Superpro bushes as it wouldn't make much sense running slicks with 34 year old bushings. The only bushings I was unable to find in the aftermarket were the transmission cross-member and the rear sub-frame bushings. Here are the part numbers from the ebay seller. I don't own a press but this tool was a life saver. It might be from launching on sticky tires at autocross but I seem to go through a CV axle a year and find the Cardone axles to be junk. I found this "heavy duty" set on Rock Auto from TrakMotive so we'll see how they fare this year. A rotor freshen up and new CV's, bushings, and semi metallic pads in... along with a power rack with lines looped as a manual conversion. While I was at it I decided to replace the engine and transmission mounts. In the past I've had problems with the exhaust heating up the steering rack boots causing them to crack so I decided to pick up some DEI header wrap to mitigate the problem. As you can see I had some leaky rocker cover gaskets that left their mark... rust prevention anyone? I've had great success using Remflex header gaskets on my small block chevy and wanted to give them a try on the GL manifold... this part number fits perfectly. The custom Diamond racing steelies showed up so I had the slicks mounted. The specs are 13x10 5.5" backspacing and they seem to just clear everything inboard with no rubbing. I think the setup looks pretty tough and can't wait to take them for a spin on course... til next time!

Change the PCV valve with a Subaru one to maybe help mitigate that oil loss. easy and cheap. another user with an H6 that had all 6 misfires, had three dirty injectors on one side. Cleaning the 3 on one side alleviated all 6 misfires. its loosing oil, usually past the rings, but this is fairly common without causing all the cylinders to misfire.

EA81 turbo fuel tank will certainly have the internal baffles. Your ingredients for your build have been done time and time again (MY body, EJ22, EA82 5speed box). The trick in your build will be choosing a lift and tyre size that isn’t too tall (tyres mainly), then doing the wiring right as Numbchux mentioned. Cheers Bennie

I had an awesome time with HP during the christmas tree run 05 and reiters pit cleanup. brought my phews and the dog out. the thing I noticed about HP is that they are more of a group of friends than a car club. they invite other people, people they don't know, out to have fun with them. please don't criticise the way HP does things, if they have a get together or camping trip thats open, they'll post an invite, and thats when I'll go. keep in mind, when you and your buddies have a bbq, inviting the neighborhood isn't a requirement. $.02
