ATV's use 4-140mm lug patern? ( ATTN:snowman)
MilesFox replied to soobme's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
i read that suzuki used the soob lug pattern. -
you could have you lift bolt to the body, using existing bolts, and then have the suspension bolt to the lift. i did min e that way, but a thru bolt application would probably be more sturdy.

the gm style tool they have at autozone works just as well on subarus -
k-bombing your ride? write up
MilesFox replied to MilesFox's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
yea, and if you are painting the roof or hood, use your fullest cans, once it gets half empty, use a new can. use your half or low cans to paint vertical surfaces like the doors or sides. that way the spary doesn sputter ot qiut henthe can is tilted. i am curious to see how my job hods up this time. TrashWagon5 seemed to hold up well over the winter. i'll bet thi paint lasts longer. i had to touch up my last job when existing rust "bled" through the paint. by now i already know what to expect from different paints. i know the cheap/fast-drystuff will oxidize after a few months. but at least its so cheap it would be considered "maintenance" to re-paint you rride every year, sort of a buff and wax in its own right! -
i'll admit my lift was dook, but what would you expect for something cheap and eperimental. my lift wa sessentially the idea of a lift. i took it out because it was a rolling wreck! whatever is your bag. at least i had fun with it!!!!

my new old stock re-garbulated geocities page!
MilesFox replied to MilesFox's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
the html is all messed up. i cant make sense of it anymore. any "paraphrasing" or hosting would have to be a "copy and paste" operation -
my new old stock re-garbulated geocities page!
MilesFox replied to MilesFox's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
like i said, a lot of it has been floating around, interlinked between free hosting, and a lot of it is mangled, lost, or otherwise never put together to begin with. i still got a lot of content, but no one has seen it. if i has a way to publish with real resources, i could crank out websites all day long (at leas an hour a day at the library) -

MilesFox replied to TheSubaruJunkie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
so how much does it cost to register a car in california these days? let the computer go and gets the soob! you dont just up and get offered touring wagons all the time. we just fixed a turbo motor with a bad gasket, it started right up. the motor in the back of my gl-10 had both head hgaskets blown, heads are still good! doing up a turbo motor is no mre than any other soob motor, 'cept for a big ol' turbo hanging out the back. -
First Rallycross for the XT6 Pics!
MilesFox replied to DammitBeavis's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
what kind of rally circuits are out there? do they have anythig in indiana? i gots me a gl-10 turbo (motor needs head gaskets) i wouls love to rally something than some farmer's field and the mc D parking lot! there is an xt6 (if i can reach the owner0 that i want to swap 5-lugs onto my 83 wagon (if i ever see it back from idaho) there needs to be something here for us in the indiana, michigan, and ohio area, because we got soobs! -
my 83 wagon had a 6 inch lift. handled like Dook as the home made contraption cheap no-feed walmart welder and scrap metal collapsed in the as end (fixed it), and whole front would want to drive out from under one side of the car or the other. .went baja'nin a field and my steering fell off, involuntary donuts! but it had ea82 suspension (how did that happen?) but anyway, i took the lift out, and the ea82 suspension (gave me about an inch or two of wheel travel, ride height, is that a lift?) gave a decent ride across the vast nation we go to jail in! except it tore up my tires from my eye-ball off center chop and weld tie rod mod ification. you asked.............

would anyone buy rebuilt EA81 or EA82s?
MilesFox replied to Ratty2Austin's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
cool. sounds like you got it going on. too bad i'm broke and 2300 miles away! i'm sure you would have a good market out there, since there are enough subarus to put motors in! good luck, austtin -
....and ea82 front suspension was supposed to not fit on an 83 wagon. but somehow it does:dead:

MilesFox replied to Ratty2Austin's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
maybe i can quit using the hand-me down spare motor that has been in the last 3 cars. too bad they dont have subaru motors just layin' around out in these parts!!! sounds like a good op you can have going. but it would seem you wuould need a little money to start. maybe throw the first together and eat the cost, then profit on it with another core and then you're set! -

come and see the html wonder of what was at one time a derilect web site project. not much there as of yet, but more will be added. i am starting out fresh with new pages about my soobs, and re-doing a lot of my scattered-about-free-web-hosts content the last real attempt had its original copy on the hard dis of a laptop that so-happened to be in my car that i hocked on-the-spot to get my car out of impound! enjoy the dook-tastic wonder of what has yet to come! be sure to check out the"TRASHWAGON" link, although i cant tell you how far into it the links go. you might stumble across something i forgot about! oh yea, heres the link http://www.geocities.com/milesfox/subaru/subaru.htm browsw the root directories and scope what dook-nougats may be floating about http://www.geocities.com/whitetrash104/carframe.html (what was supposed to be Miles Fox's Car Page) let me know what you think, and what you want to see! before too long i want to feature some of yous' rides, details later!!!!!

what models can donate rear disk for ea81 4x4?
MilesFox replied to a topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
if you found discs on a brat, it probably came from someone that at least knew something about subarus. just like if you go to the local omni source, you will find my 86 sedan with an ea81 motor! -
help needed now! clutch related
MilesFox replied to Caboobaroo's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
my cable broke the fat metal nougat that held it in place relative to the pedal box. it broke halfway to jim's in ohio. i had a clamp in the back of the car that i used to clamp the cablee still(sorta like a lanmowe throttle able) it made i all the way out to the subaru show! -
start by checking the fuel filter. it may just be starvation. double chek your ignition timing. i put a motor together and it ran fine, then it started to fall flat at 3000 rpm or if you get enough into the gas. then i used another carb, same thing. ' then i used another carb, sputtered and coughed when i hit the gas. then i turned the distributor and now it runs fine. i would bet that was my problem to begin with something o consider..............

86 gl-10 carrier bearing??
MilesFox replied to hush777's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
i have never serviced the carrier bearing, but i think its pressed in. but the most economical solution is to go find another driveshaft if it can be had for cheap. however you go, here is what to look for in driveshafts: find out what trans you have. the auto tranny has the front half of the driveshaft shorter than the manuals all auto drivehafts are the same length, whereas all manual driveshafts are the same length, respectively. the rear half of either are the same length, but the carrier bearing is on the front half. you actually need only the front half of the driveshaft for your transmission, the one with the bearing mounted to it. i hope that answers ya, i couldnt tell you where to get a replacement, or how much it costs
