  1. on the front there should be a height adjust ment oder the strut for 4wd and 1984 turn the nuts to tighten the spring and adjust in a renge of 1 1/2 inches the rear is especially east with an impact socket are you talkin about the front tire or the rear what size are the tires?
  2. its like his own version of TrashWagon, but without knowing about trashwagon. funnt thing too because the first trashwagon was a flying crapalier trashwagon
  3. what year were the ones you talking about from. i thougth i remembered seeing one. i would assume 85 or 86
  4. there are posts about using honda springs in the rear, and ea82 springs. people have made soem interesting unconventional desighns with their suspensiions.. there should be a tightening nut for the rear suspension, located on the top of the torsion tube. there is an access panel under the carpet behind the seat. is yours 4wd?
  5. cool. i will be browsing and saving pics. thanx for the permissions.
  6. good! i just claened out my yahoo. i can take 6 megs there can you make a zip file? or you can send it to me thru yahoomessenger: milesfox i can really get started with a forst batch of pics
  7. start paying axtra attention to the temp gauge nad the coolant level to monitor the condition. catch the signs of head gasket failute early should they occur would a re-tourqe solve the problem if the gasket is barely starting to let go?
  8. the brakes are applied depending on how hard you press the brake pedal with the cluch pressed pressing the clutch will pull the hill holder cable this closing a valve. when you hit the brake, the valve acts like a one way valve. it allows the brake pressure to go to the back wheels. how much pressure applied is how much you press the brake pedal when you release the clutch, the valve releases the pressure when pressing the clutch while driving, the hill holder does not interfere with braking, for the simple matter you are not hitting the brake pedal at the same time when pulling the motor, you can leave it hooked iup the cable will go over the motor and behind the manifold. it can be held out of the way when you disconnect all the wires and hoses fom the motor, and you can pull the motor out withthe hill holder still connected. you will want to put the new motor in with the clutch. adjust the clutch cable before you adjust the hill holder. the hill holder can be adjusted bt hand if the nut is not rusted with the ea82 motor, i suggest using the ea82 battery cables, and relocating the battery onto the other side, and relocate the coil, just run longer wires along the firewall from the original location. but you will have to cut out the jack carrier. anyway that is how i did mine
  9. no legacy, no impreza? yer the one with the camera, how about some disks? hey, get some pictures of the brat and GLF, take pics of parts and stuff, i need them for my website bring me some discs tomorrow, and bring my ms office 2000 by the subaru wall danbob: i am looking for things taken apart, individual components, engines in different stages of disassembly axle jobs, brake calipers off the car, axles off the car, anything you can see when a subaru is being worked on i especially need GOOD pics of the tierod, lower control arm where it mounts to the fame(from behind) go hog wild with the camera. get some pics of turbos and exhaust pipes out of the car. i need a shot of an spfi motor, and a carb motor. i will be using the shot of your turbo motor
  10. ok, i got some brake pics from subaru junkies site, and some turbo pics from danbob99
  11. when you press the clutch thecable activates a valve when the clutch is in. the brake pressure applied will be how much you press the pedal. it simply holds the pressure back while the clutch is in. once you let off the clutch, it releases the pressure. but an improperly adjusted hill holder will hang up the rear brake a little it wont apply the rear brake when shifting, unless you hit the brake at the same time!
  12. most likely nothing bad like coolant in the oil, but its definately some form of moisture i had a motor that did that, but no sighn of bad head gaskets or leaks or anything.. wipe it all off and see how long it comes back
  13. water, coolant, or steam in the crank case
  14. i posted the glossary, and it explaind different engine designations, tranny designations, and what they come in. the hill holdse is on the inner frame below the master cylinder, and has a cable going to it from the clutch fork. when the clutch is depressed, it holds back brake pressure to the rear wheels, intil you release the clutch
  15. EA71 is the 1600 motor ea81 is pishrods 1.8 ea82 is timing belt 1.8 you will have to find an ea82 flywheel, or drill out the holes to your existing flywheel what year dit the spare motor come from check out the glossary of terms on te top of the page i linked to above
  16. are you using the timing belt motor as a replacement(ea820 you mentioned that the trans was a 5spd 4x4. that year came with a 4spd, unless someone put a 5spd in there from an ea82 if so, use the ea82 flywheel. if its the orginal trans, the ea81 flywheel can be drilled out to fit on the ea82 motor, but the timing marks will be incorrect check this out for infohttp://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/subaru/service/SubaruService.htm and here is from the topic on engine swaps http://usmb.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7364&highlight=ea82+swap
  17. Miles Fox's HOMEPAGE is now up http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/homepage/index.htm
  18. sorry, i wouldnt know that one. i have had them apart, though even though you bore it out, i think it should retain its venturi curvature for airflow dybamics
  19. yeah, the layout reminds me of usmb.net i guess its the dreamweaver program you both use..
  20. i got yahoo messenger, you can get ahold of me there. i just tried to sigh nup for aim but was unsuccessful i can try that later Brian gave me access to the USRM but he states that you(shawn w) is in charge of the board itself if you have issues PLEASE let me know. i neet to know what the "rules" are in regards to linking to or using usmb material give me a heads-up yeah, if i know what's up that will help out for what i have to do yet..
  21. what if i could assume permission, and those who DO NOT want to be linked post here? just some ideas. i'm on a roll and can get a lot of links activated but lets see what the collective opinion is on that first..............
