CLEAN wagon. wow more pics please when you can

oh: 125 to haul home cost 97 dollar new radiator barn radiator 35 fender 150 for the lights grill, frame rail, all other odds and ends ac condensor, etc etc. 175 for the paint work 400 bucks parts for head gasket and timing belt job. less than 1500 total......grand total including vehicle purchase pric reused the hood and bumper, afer working on them to fix.

ben, check your pm, and do it. i found your turbo leg and its nearby. and cheap and perfect......

comparing your 86 to the 01 will show you how cheap they are making them, now. cars are too heavy these days and will wear brakes alot earlier than the light cars they used to make. that why the high end cars are having the same problems that you have discovered, weight weight weight.

holy crap i thought i had long non-punctuated posts. typical subaru offsets on the 5x100 rims runs from 48mm to like 55mm and standard of about 5.5 to 6 width in inches. universal rims are garbage and you would be wise to stay away from them at all costs. Get the proper lug pattern and proper hub pattern.

the adjustment spring on the hood latch may be too tight/out of adjustment. There is usually a lock nut like 10mm open end box wrench to loosen the lock nut, then the end of the rod has a slot for screw driver. If its too tight, turn it out counter clockwise, just a turn may be enough, a little at a time, tighten lock nut and try. If its too loose, then turn it in a turn at a time. need to still hold the hood closed tight. Also, use some lithium grease spray/silicone on the spring shaft and the latch on the core support. if it has been hard to open forever, the cable it probably stretched, and may break any day as well. also check for the rubber side bumpers on the corner of the hood, i find cars that they are missing due to previous repair jobs.

just got done with dad's blown HG in the saved Forester. Next up, my brothers 99 outback. just ordered all the parts for it so will be doing another HG job in a few weeks. i really wish subaru made the old ej22 in the current lineup. anyhow, my brother is going to try and get another builder, and the one he is looking at has a smashed front again into the t-belt, its a Baja, not sure the year. fun times in the near future.

90-94 had the black trim bumper with chrome inserts (just like on the side doors, front fenders, and rear bumper) I think its a 95+ they did not not chrome inserts or black trim peice

I always liked the 97-2000 GT snowflakes, last set i had sold and shipped wish i had them back look great on the old SS's Lo:lol:king good

Alternator is bad, its putting out too much voltage, (bad voltage regulator in it) and it has cooked your battery. Batteries are not meant to be charge more than 13.5 V. The alternator has cooked the lead acid cells. -you will need both a battery and a alternator that only charges to 13.5v to fix your issue. You can unhook every cable to the battery, and put your MM tester on the pos and neg of the battery, and if you hold the tester on it, the volt on the batt will continually drop, 12.5, 12.4, 12.3.12...,11.5.11.4.11.3, etc down til like 10.0v its dead due to overcharging.

nice update:

Thanks GD, yeah the pistons or stroked on the Ej25 so it would in fact become interference. I think you can find more info if you search "frankenmotor" on a few sites, that is what BBS.legacyentral called them.

wow. I think ej22 older (90-94) heads on a ej25 would make that ej25 a non interference motor. And no headgasket leak issues. Brilliant Wonder why Subaru didnt do something like that. Run it til the Tbelt breaks, slap a new one on. interesting.

looks like would need a boat, not a wheelbarrel

whats used to haul the parts around in.... heres the clutch that it had in it, about like new...

head gaskets were leaking exhaust into the coolant, so new Subaru updated gaskets were on order. awaiting paint, hood not pictured but its been repaired...and ready to go off to paint.

pciture of frame rail sectioned in from a junkyard car, that happened to be black as well. heads off the block.

Yeah i live about 60 miles away from any store that had proper hoses for fuel and vacuum...so mine took several days at minimum. Plus i had to wait on the proper Subaru intake gaskets cause i wasnt using the cardboard ones i had... I would say plan to be down 5 days max, or 2 days minimum....

even the oil sender unit could be the oil leak. i would check that too. good engine.

save up for new head gaskets and all thats associated with those...they will go out if they have not been done. then i would concentrate on freeing the exhaust up. just saying. hopefully thought they have already been replaced...

probably have settings messed up some how, like you pushed in the knob to turn volume, and it was set to adjust bass/treble/fader. I like the old radios where you had separate bass and treble knobs, they were not built intot eh volume knob. o well. my parents do not know how to run theirs either, they have the speakers messed up to all right or all front or something, cause they keep accidently getting it into the sound adjusting mode, instead of just volume,

i think my leg SS would benefit having the 3.7 fd of the RX....with diff lock and lsd would probably go from my 23.5/24mpg to maybe about 27.5/28mpg on the highways...... and still have plenty of get up....) I like the way my SVX drives with the fd of 3.54. it cruises at 80mph at about 2100 rpm lol getting the 27.5mpg that it does on avg. if you leave it in 3rd gear, cruising at 80mph is about 3600rpm i think last i checked, so redline of 6500 is a long shot....

GGG Go Guido Go

good luck, i would go if I had my exhaust header repaired. ttitwwop
