  1. yeh.. they were both OEM.. I dont run anything thats not from the dealer
  2. well this is going back to an on-going arguement from this spring. the charcoal canister..... needed or not? does it makea difference on anything with the fuel system or economy? Please give your response to this.
  3. covers/no covers I've gotten the same milage out of belts. I have 25000 miles on open belts right now, and they are in better shape then the old ones I took off that had 30000 on with the covers on. just my 1 cent.............
  4. replace the selinoid... well you can try cleaning the contacts on the connector but 90% of the ones I've replaced at work were bad seliniod. If you have to get one from a Junk Yard, go to a u pullit yard and get something "cheap" like a interior light cover or something and just put the selinoid in your pocket. They run like 40 or 50 bucks
  5. Ed is right. I watched a sooby get IM'd today. 2500 RPM is the test rpm for cruising.
  6. yeah I'm starting to think that one of my heads is cracked. Not from this trip down, but sometime before. I get a little white smoke out the tail pipe about 35 percent of the time I'm driving. This time (after the major overheat) I noticed a sheen (slight film on top of the antifreezE) so I'm guessing its the 1 & 3 head thats bad. Found out the cause of the major overheat.... Aux Fan didnt turn on. Kelly I will let u know about the heads. I think I got some at work (just a matter of digging for them in the engine parts box)
  7. heh, my first cable change took 10 minutes......... way easier than spending 150 bucks. Thats half the money you'd need for a lift
  8. hehe.. well I made it back to fairbanks.. Started the car this morning, let it warm up for 15 minutes, came outside and the cab was filled with smoke. Blew both heater core hoses. I've never knew the temp gauge would almost touch the 0 on the tach... Got it running. Left anchorage at 8:30 pm, made it to Wasilla and blew a upper rad hose (4th one this fall) But all in all we still made it in 5 and a half hours. Nice meeting you guys while I was down there. Thanks for dinner Matt.
  9. haggard is on its way. We are leaving at 5:15 pm.. I'm gonna call you guys if I break down k? see u guys tommorow. gimme a call
  10. I'd like 5 lugs for my ea82. post me a cost
  11. I dunno about 55 Mph being max speed. I run a set of new studded tires every winter. Making serveral trips every fall down to anchorage doing about 80 mph. Half the drive is on snow/ice and the rest is on dry pavement. I hardly notice the "loss" of traction. Just my thoughts.
  12. any other memebers in the area? wheres mountainbikeak?
  13. Any tricks to getting the damn snapring back in on the outer axle? my boss was carrying around the axles with the spindles hanging today and managed to pull both axles from the joint. any help is appreicated
  14. kelly is still carrying the miner's shovel and headlamp? hmmmm.. well it doesnt matter to me where we go. Hey do either of you guys have a 155/80/13 tire layin around anywhere? I need a spare for my winter set.. 15 % tread would work. I just need something the same size.
  15. so does anyone have any ideas for making the edis part of it work fora carbbed engine? or would it be better to convert to SPFI or MPFI? (I found a complete MPFI engine with computer) Whats your thoughts...
  16. I'm pretty sure they used the stock STI dash and gauges from what I saw in the pic. I was at the dealer last week getting parts and I looked at 3 STis.. unless its the beer talking....
  17. hehe alright check this out. the old ladys best friend/roomates boyfriend is a bouncer at the bush company and they frequent the place, so dont count it out yet.. the old lady is cool as hell... check your pm's
  18. replace the clutch cable - disconnect from clutch lever unbolt pedal bolt unbolt clutch cable mount to peddle to install do the reverse
  19. Hey guys, I'm changing rear bearings in a 98 forester. I need some help with breaking it down to get to the spindle. 1. I noticed they have no pins holding the cv axle on the stub shaft on the rear end. Is this correct? 2. How do I disconnect the cable parking brake? 3. Do these break down the same way a EA82 wagon does? you have to pull the inside of the axle first and then pound the outside out of the spindle? Any help would be greatly appreciated. This town sucks. No Where in town do they have a chiltons or a haynes manual for subarus newer than 1996.
  20. I'll be there. I'll be down there like 2 am Saturday morning. I'll pm you guys my cell ### and you do the same to me so we can get in touch with each other. The only problem is that I'm gonna have the old lady with me (the trip to anchorage is to see her)
  21. Everyone wants a RX because of how rare they are. I've only seen 4 Rx's in all of alaska. I talked to 3 of the owners and asked them if they would sell the car and all of them said no, just becuase of the fact that they are hard to find.
