Tyler , you’ll never get much of an assessment from just the good old USMB. But it’s cool that you’re trying and hopefully you’ll find some good company as well as parts and advice. Sure yours is rare now. I just sold those rear pillar emblems on eBay. Those are crazy to find so if you have nice ones you’d better take them off and only install them for shows. ( just kidding ) Seriously , those emblems guys practically kill each other for. Mine are about to ship to Poland ! As for tour sweet ride. I love those too. I’ll try to think of things to watch out for and get back. What colors do you have in and out ?

Man it’s going to suck when those nails fall out and pop your tire or the motorcyclist coming after you. Hack is cool until hack becomes dangerous. Just spend a minute and rethink the solution. There’s many.

Why was my post deleted ?

Should we applaud or what ? Sorry , but what about this magic box? I have a factory parts manual from 1982 here at home if you need a little help.

Lol , old guys like me have to chuckle , you’d better make a separate post. Sounds cool , but I’m just happy to use and abuse stock. The original bulbs in new fresh condition are out there. An old guy like me would be happy just to have them all working. Please post a nice night shot of the cluster when you’ve got it done and make me envious.

There’s a post of mine archived about the EA82 heater core swap. Not a big deal. Good time to freshen up dashboard illumination too. Manage all the vacuum lines for the ducts. Re-foam the flappers. In that deep ya gotta make the rounds or it’ll bite you back.

Yes sir eeeee still alive and still hoping to get storage reduced. But so much going on I have nowhere near the time I really need to get there. Meanwhile I am sadly offering good on eBay. “cashingmystuffin” that’s me. I’ve got around 70 items up right now. But that’s just some box stuff , way more at storage with some fenders , door , glass , engines , transmissions , rear diffs , A-bar , lots more.

What color seats are you looking for ?

Maybe bake it ? Electro-heat it ? Some freeze blast from a can on the bearing and hopefully it drops out and you tuck the new one in.

Now the best days are truly behind us.

To me just about every Subaru I ever owned ticks when cold at least a little. Some loud , some barely. And the piston slap thing too. Seems fine after running some.

Wondering if we can prevent this issue with some grease at the pivot and lubing the cable.

Many of us have done this and many will need to sooner or later if they actually drive their car enough. (Pedal Box Repair/improvement) Glad I could help. This is a very common issue from the 1970’s left over into the 80’s.

Maybe select the best one and have that as a spare just so you feel good about trying to salvage those beads. As mentioned , might not hold air if they all look as bad. Good luck.

Bail out and start saving some spare change for a set from another enthusiast.

Best to just call them. Probably run you around $38-45 per. My guess. Whatever it is it’ll be worth it.

Pardon me , but you folks with these 80-84’s will eventually need a group purchase. I suggest you contact PRP and ask about the mold from their supplier. Will that mold be destroyed ? Seems so tricky about ordering now , it’s only going to get worse. My point is to notify PRP and/or drop an order for 50 and call it an investment if you don’t get all 50 paid for up front. They’ll sell , trust me. We had two group buys that I handled for the Gen one’s. They’re all gone. PRP part no. for those is WCR-288 - as I recall. Good luck. Make a move now.

Big bump for the “season” Hoping to list some stuff on e bay but would much appreciate people stopping by. I know , it’s far. Why do I live way over here ??? It’s ok , push that gas pedal and make a trip out of it. Ebay - “cashingmystuffin” Your happy place - my storage - exit 35 off I-95 Milford CT USA Next to highway , super easy. Contact me and we can work out weekday or weekend time - prefer we meet between 7:30am and 3:00pm WEEKDAYS but might be able to flex. WEEKENDS I can meet you 7:00am on but not too late. Gets dark early so on weekends I like to be closing up around 4:30-5:00

Ok cool thanks right about the defrost for sure

I do have a good used compressor. Clutch looks and spins ok but I’d like to feel as secure as possible , so I’d be willing to spend for a new clutch.

Any experiences you can share would be much appreciated. Are there any kits that are specific and actually fit correctly ? I am not going to buy any general assortment type of deal and have a thousand O rings I don’t need. The car is a 94 so it’s all set with 134a , got that going for us. It’s still fairly low miles with just over 135k I think. Wife’s car. She has suffered these past two summers with crappy a/c or non at all. We love these classics so pardon me. Also , I’ve wanted to do my own compressor clutch swap. Are there reliable clutches out there you have used with success ? Being the car is so old and we still want to keep it going , should I invest in a new core ? And how much of a pain is that job ? I have already had a 92-94 dashboard out so I’m not afraid. If I go this deep I’m thinking I’ll do the heater core too. Anything else you can think of ? The hard lines look pretty good but this is salty New England and pitting sure does happen. Any cheap easy coating or replace only with those ? I’m not sure how any coating would affect the sweating/condensation. If that matters. I’ve got until next May to do this now. Thank you September !

Right on !

Probably not the Pedal Box Issue but sounds like you should check it off the list anyways. Get down there and depress the clutch pedal as you look closely at the clutch side of the pedal box. On the first Gen cars this is super common. The pivot of the clutch pedal tends to bind over time and cause the sheet metal of the pedal box to flex and crack. Look close and then check it off the list if I’m wrong.

Tony , welcome and let’s see your new skid plate.

Yeah but you know all those cool little buttons n stuff and you’ve got a drone ... my posts are stale by comparison. Post counts lol yeehaa
