get a 180 degree Thermostat, and if it doesnt have the jiggler pin in it drill a small hole somewhere near the outside edge.. its a 5 minute job on a EA82 -

rear defogger relay location?
torxxx replied to jrgaylor's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I think it the relay right above the fuse box.. Unscrew the fuse box and its right there.. to be sure, do a search for rear*defogger*relay -
alright I got some good sheet metal screws and when I took the spoiler off the donor, I pulled on it first to see if it was loose.. Iwas held on pretty damn good.. If I can find a cordless drill to use today, I'ma get it on and I'll post a picture of it

GD you need to change your name to Dr. General Disorder lol

good call
-
This is the one I'm gonna go with.. http://groups.msn.com/USMB/hatchpatroltreerun2003.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=1083 I spray canned the spoiler metallic blue.. it looks sweet... think I'ma do all the black and chrome trim with that metallic blue.. I will post a pic of it tommorow night when the magic happens.. So in that pic, that looks like it sticks up about 3/4 of an inch from the top of the hatch dont it?
-
damn... got any advice for putting one in? I think I'm gonna install one cuz I want to know what my real oil pressure is
-
all you have to do is run a few wires dont ya? Shouldnt be to hard.. Theres 3 holes through the firewall that you can run the wires through.. Should take about 20 min to do
-
Matt - Well the easiest way to do that would be get some honda accord springs and swap em out with the subaru ones. Also you can turn the preload up on the rear shocks and get up to 1.8 inches I believe, and hten the front struts have preload adjusters that would give you more height in the front..

EA82 1986 GL Wagon

any kind of oil pressure gauge.. External one you'd mount somewhere inside... Napa's got them for like 21 bucks or something
-
Yeah I think I may be down with that.. what is the lift size and whats the cost gonna be so I can start planning for it now
-
Anyone mount the subaru spoiler that came on the 80's series wagons? I picked one up today but I didnt measure where it was screwed into in relation to the top of the back hatch. so I'm looking for either how much the spoiler is supposed to stick up from the top of the cab, or measurements for drilling the holes..... Thanks..

ok my bad on the terms.... I did my wiring bit 5 or 6 years ago so you'll have to excuse me.. I had the concept right, just the terms wrong.. lol

Newby with a lot of questions
torxxx replied to gonehuntn's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
gonehuntn - Theres a few board members here that have dual exhaust, and single exhaust w/o Cat.. Do a search for it If you gutted the Cat out, and left it in there, it should drop the temp of the exhaust around that boot.. seems like it should anyways And for the fuel filter, we use Racor filters on our commercial fishing boats and they are awesome.. You just unscrew a t-handle on the top of filter setup and then the filter has a lil handle on it to pull it out. (filter change without getting gas on your hands). They also have a petcock at the bottom of the filter to drain out water/dirt etc... They make this filters for car/truck applicatons and they are fairly small.. could easily mount one under the hood http://www.marisolmarine.com/parts/racor.html -
Alaska prices it prolly woulda been 20 bucks

-
Snowman - You should save your money... I'm planning a trip down to Oregon to see Mudrat and have him do a big lift on my sooby.. Prolly gonna go sometime this summer.. We could both drive down there, get our lifts, then rally the hell out of Canaidia on the way back up to Alaska!

Are all the tires on the car the exact same size tire? Sounds like you are running into the linkage problem I had when I had to put 2 bigger spares on the back of my GL

Changing Instrument Panel bulb colors
torxxx replied to torxxx's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Ok, my buddy has a 92 Loyale and hes got green lights.. they are easier to look at and are a hella lot cooler. Thats whats inspired me to do that.. I tired painting the bulbs blue with fingernail polish and all that did was burn off and get me high off the fumes as I drove.... can I get a hell yea? lol
