i was reading this thread and saw your part on when removing the injector it poured gas into the intake. To prevent this from happening, prior to disassembly, please unplug the fuel pump connector, and let the car stall out, this depressurizes the system of fuel.

Today Senate kills subsidies for Ethanol. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20110616/NEWS09/110616031/1001/ YAY i am VERY happy I just hope the House votes same way, but not sounding that way

this was what i had.

has rear heated seat switches, and the driver door has door power window switches for the rear doors where are the rear doors, or windows for those switches....and where are rear seats for the heated seat switch.....:-\

you could weld that hole up, and then use it for a paper weight.

It is easy to swap to digi, but do you want it to work would be he question.... I would suppose you could leave it unhooked, real easy. As others have said, even the connectors behind the cluster are totally different. You would have to splice every single wire, to the connector that came from the digi donor car. Then the sensors. Then it may only be half functional, as they tend to be junk and not work most of the time when you are talking electronics this old. It would be easier to make a ipad work in your cluster...

clean out the PCV system to eliminate any blockage when under load.

wow shops are ripping so many people off these days. 500 for a carb rebuild...does that include free tires too?

Went today to look at a Subaru that was advertised about an hour and half away from me today. Was listed as a 87 but they had a pic and I knew it was either a 83 or 84 GL wagon om the Title was 83, and it was a 83 GL wagon, ea81, power steering, power windows, factory cruise, ea81, showing 130,400 on the odo 4 speed manual trans with dual range Owner bought it 400 miles back and drove it til the front radius rod broke. They were asking 250obo I went thru my test/check list: Exhaust-older but intact, was welded not stock Front struts-seemed good Windshield-good no cracks Seats-worn in front both dirty back not sure was full of crap Fram/frame rails- rusted, had another 2 years life left before it would be unsafe to drive, rockers were missing, rotted, back shocks supports good rear wheel arches had big openings could see inside panels no problem Axle boots-old, original dried, some cracking but no gashes Wheel bearings seemed fine Inside trim-factory radio with cassette, power mirrors, power windows (said driver window not work) and factory cruise Battery age-no battery with car Radiator/AC- barely could see coolant in it with flashlight was low but green Oil- was black and about 3/4 quart low I offered 180. He said no, 200 he would. I said I would think about it. He just sold it, got his full 250 asking from someone else. Moral of the story, even badly rotted wagons going for 250. So the solid ones should bring minimum of 850 now around here…. i am off to find a decent brat, anything will be 1grand or more even if rotted. the seemingly decent average to high rust onese are listed for 1500

At quote of 1300 for repairs.... Wanna know what i would do? Take that 1300 bones and go buy a 4wd Subaru ( of the same body style as the one you jusy messed up) you can go out wheeling in...... and use your old carcass for whatever backup parts you will likely break, some stuff swaps over..... You are new enough you will learn this stuff no more hard feelings.

^ you left the door open and passed out on the dashboard?

its 2.5 on the ej22t

until this is sorted out, carry a fire extenguisher in this vehicle. seen too many crash/burn form a pesky mouse chewd wire.

If the car has 91k miles, and still has original paint and that paint still looks nice all over, then yes way worth the 2g they are asking. A repaint could cover up lots of previous damage, rust, dents, and then not worth near the 2g. At 91k it should still be original paint if cared for well. A car with 91k and having already had a repaint is a sign of damage prior.

it can be professionally fixed with a frame machine, fixed to spec but may cost a few thousand to get it right. This is a Subaru, not worth professional fix. Use chains, and come along and pull it out best you can using a tree or heavy frame of a truck as anchor. Get panels to fit, done. no cost there but you time Heck, you can use spacer washers or blocks behind the bumper beam mount to make it sit out where it looks good. Same for fenders and headlights, use shims until you get it look good, who cares about the frame buckle. A brat is a BRAT. Just make it look good and leave the character dent

anyone know this was same last week, i have questions for them.

ethanol sucks. My 2 cents coming from a state where it is mandated and pushed like hot cakes on a early morning. Yes, Ethanol in the gas creates more pollution. yes ethanol yields up to 10% worse mpg. Takes more ethanol than gas to go the same distance. Ethanol ruins small engines. Ethanol requires 5 galons of water to make 1 gallon of gas (those 5 gallons are water are coming from the aluetian aquifer, MY drinking water s depleted on this) Refuse the ethanol at the pumps guys. Ethanol made from corn is causing food corn prices to go up as more farmers are subsidized to plant corn to go to ethanol. It is taking corn supply from the plate and making it go to gas. People need to know the facts. Back to on topic, sounds right, ethanol is polluting more out the pipe. It may require a ECU recurve to allow for more pollutants to pass its systems. Using this ethanol will in fact decrease usable lifespan in ALL engines. NO TO ETHANOL PLEASE

swap alternator.

http://www.car-part.com sort by distance from your zipcode. They list colors and damage units. Go look at it before making a purchase, if condition is not as listed, pass.

I have had a couple flaky alternators on my BRAT, and they do wierd things if the voltage regulator is going out on it. Some things my BRAT would do when it was going out was turn on lights, and the wipers would go on even though the wiper switch was off. Radio stop working then start again. And at times, no starts.

Is this Subaru admitting some fault with former filters of some sort, that they go back to what they know is best for the newest boxer engines? perhaps.

Pull the 3 bolts off that hold the driver side cam cover. Look at the belt. New belt will look, well, new. Old belt will be glazed looking. Kinda like when you get new tires, the rubber is nice and black looking. After a few months, you need to armor-all them to make them look newish again. A belt will look like new tires if it has been replaced, and if not it will look like old tires.
