  1. remove the kick panel from under the steering column. there are 2 green clips. plug thos in, and the fuel pump will kick on, off, on
  2. are you talking about an aftermarket weber, or the stock carter/weber that came on soobs. my motor did the same thing, it would idle fast, diesel after its turned off, and would be a pain to start. turns out that 2 of the 4 screws that held the carb to the baseplate were loose, the whole carb would jiggle on the manifold. it is for this reason that i describe my motor as having a "floppy carb"
  3. if your reason to remove involves an engine swap, a master cylinder from an automatic will provide more distributor clearance
  4. the 1600 cylinder head is slightly smaller than the 1800. the combustion chambers are in the same relative spot, but the bolt pattern is a little closer than 1800. but later model 1600 hatches, like 85-89 have the ea81 bellhousing, and the larger valves from the 1800. so if your question is regarding what kind of heads to use, use heads off the 85-89 1600 hatch motors. you will be able to tell which engine to use heads from, the bellhousing has the starter on the side, rather than straight on top.
  5. i forgot to put mine back om when i added oil.t fell off. now i have a glove shoved down in the hole.
  6. the pump is at the back of the tranny, and that is wht there is a long shaft that comes thru the front. spin and lock as usual, the outer edge of the teeth should be flush with the outer bellhousing
  7. will the rim fit over the caliper? it would have a better chance on an ea81 than ea82 for caliper clearance!
  8. would an EA series strut cap swap over to the xt6/impreza style strut? if not, i would think the xt6 strut cap would swap onto an impreza/legacy strut. you would need coil spring tools tough, if you were to do it yourself..........
  9. having oversize tires, the speedo might read 75, but the car is actually going 5-10mph faster
  10. you cant really depreciate a 100 dollar car by painting it! paint it silver and satin black. it would look pimp. it would pay respects to both the 03 legacy and the 02 impreza! and trim it out with chrome pinstriping, and chrome reflective barrier on the bottom of the doors. and find some trim rings for them fat rump roast 15's at least if you do paint it, you'll know that you have a solit rustproof coat underneath
  11. it threads into the back opf the piston, and is connected to the parking brake lever on the caliper. if you pull off the rubber boot you should see some of it..i think there is a pic in the haynes book
  12. i noticed that the big hose on the turbo plenum fits exactly on a 1bbl carter/weber carb that ws originally on my ea81. the carb is on my ea82, and i hace an ea82 turbo. it gave me an idea, but i havent played around with the idea YET
  13. yup. the vac line comes off the passenger side intake, its realy skinny. every time i have seen the heater bow only out he vent, it was because that line was disconnected. it will plug into a plastic reducer of a fatter line
  14. The napa lists it for a 195 degree. usually people get the 180. in my automotive books it states that higher temperatures promote clean burning and fuel efficiency. We put a 160 in the RX. the RX always ran at normal temp before the 160, but making laps in the field, the temp would get uncomfortably warm. but with the 160, the temp is just a hair below the normal mark. but if left idling or running it hard, the temo will be at the normal range. the 160 deg will allow it to open sooner, but the motor can still get to the 180 operating temp if the circumstances will allow., but will be allowed to open at a cooler temp. but thats better than opening at 180 and allowing it to get to 200. You should base your decision on your driving demands. Do you cruise and take it easy, or romp it and run it hard?
  15. my stuff is on the inside. so you wont see them from the outside. and since it is a trashwagon, no one would ever think to look. its like a self anti-theft
  16. yeah, i first saw that on beaterz.com. i stole the name, i'll admit, but the install idea in mine came naturally. i had an amp on the ceiing on my 79 pinto(trashwagon3) and my 80 mercury bobcat hatch. there just happened to be enough plywod fitted in my roof to mount speakers. i would like to build a roof of boom 2 on the gl-10 wagon, since the rear half of the ceiling receses from the sunroof. that wat i will have enough room to mount the speakers magnet up
  17. yeah, its not too bad for a half assed whack job!
  18. a plastic spray bottle will fit in ther nicely, sprayer off, of course. it will hang on the tube in a way that it will stay there when you pull the motor, saves a mess and you can salvage your atf
  19. the inner joint will go a long way. when i took my axle shaft ouy. the first ring of the boot that was still there kept the grease from flying out, there was stil a considerabel amount of grease left. the axle never had any trouble till the outer end tore a boot/got mud in there
  20. they said IOWA. unless youre talkin about a rescue mission
  21. jim's spfi wagon acts like that. it will stumble off idle the same way a carb does when the accelerator pump is bas. it doesnt have a vac leak though, it has been sitting outside for at least 6 months with no hood before jim got it. i dont know how it does when warm, didnt run it that long. but now i have an idea of what to look at!
  22. don't whine about ALMOST snowed. here in casper we've got a foot and a half and are expecting another foot next week. bbbrrrrrrrrrr them soobies are c-c-c-cold in the snow. good luck with your axle work. [/b] i'm not complaining because i there would be snow. i am complaining because there WASN'T! and there i would be another year without 4wd to have FUN with!
  23. because i still needed the front wheel to have something to mount to. it all fell apart within a few days of it busting the outer end. i pulled the circlip to remove the shaft. i didnt have a punch, and i had to go 100 miles to jim's the same day i have yet to make it back home! i'll remove the doj before i leave.
  24. i had to refresh some of the paint before i set out. this car has come a long way. you should have seen it with the rickety 6 inch lift......towing a 2 axle trailer with a dead soob on it..........and no brakes 'cept for the parking brake! and if you think that is something, check this http://usmb.net/gallery/view_photo.php?id=subaru2door TRASHWAGON4 its the WORLD'S ONLY 2-door subaru wagon. it was the result of a roll-over and a parts hatch. it never saw completion, because someone junked it while i was away. but the 5spd lives on it trahswagon 5
