    The MoS2 (Molybdenum Disulphide) additive, is used by Motul / LubroMoly \ LiquiMoly European oil Brands (which are Very Popular Here), Also is used in Constant Velocity Joints' Grease ...and Engine oil Additives. The MoS2 is Way Better than PTFE (Teflon) Based additives such like Slick 50 Avoid the use of PTFE additives, usually they clog the oil passages.

    While I did that Engine's Oil Change, I also changed the Old Manual Transmission / Diff Oil with Fresh Motul 80W~90 Gear Box Oil with MoS2 (Molybdenum Disulphide) Additive:

    Didn't you Notice that those Old Subies, the more are Being Driven, the Better they Perform? Pictures of the Trip? Edit: I already saw the Pictures on your Member's Rides Thread. Nice!

    Well, you can Use White LED Bulbs and that green will look Cool! :cool: Please Look at the "Kilometers Per Hour" green tinted Numbers, under the "Miles Per Hour" untinted ones, on my "BumbleBeast" instrument Cluster, to have the Idea. Also you Might Use Green LED Bulbs to enhance the Cluster's Colour, it will be Nice. But other Colours will somehow "Fight" the Green Tint and could have weird Results. In Example: Red LED Bulbs behind a Green Tint, should still look Red but with some kind of Brown tint... Why don't you Try? ... it could be Nice! Kind Regards.

    So, let me Know What do you Think About MoS2 (Moly) Additives for Engine Oils: Here you can see the Slick 50, Next to the LubroMoly Additive. LiquiMoly, LubroMoly and Motul are European Oils with Great Prescense and Reputation on the Local Market since years ago. Kind Regards.

    I've used for Long Years, in very Different cars, Manual Transmissions' Oil with that said MoS2 (Molybdenum Disulphide) Additive with Great Results, it seems to turn an Old & Hard-to-Shift Transmission onto a Brand-New-Like one; I use 80W~90 with MoS2 (Moly) onto my "BumbleBeast" 5MT: Also the MoS2 (Moly) is on the Constant Velocity Joints' Grease I use on its Axles.

    Last May, a friend of mine who isn't into Mechanics, gave me as Birthday Gift, a Bottle of Slick 50, wich is Expensive, purchased at the Local Napa Store, so I had to pour it onto my "BumbleBeast" and the only thing I noticed is a Slightly increased noise of the Hydraulic Lifters... Please, Note that my EA82 does Not have the T.O.D. sound at all. So, in my Li'l Country, there is a Marketing War between Two very Different Kinds of Engine Oil additives: The PTFE (Teflon) Based ones Vs the MoS2 (Molybdenum) Based ones. The Teflon Based ones, such like Slick 50, QMi, etc... has been in the Local market for decades, but the Molybdenum Based ones are relatively New. Molybdenum is -Basically Talking- marketed as to be like the Black Graphite Grease used in Constant Velocity Joints, They say it mades a Film of Lubricating Molybdenum that stays in the Engine's inner moving parts and somehow prevents the Wear done when the engine is Started, keeping parts Lubed before the Oil Pump does its Job.

    They're Selling Slick 50 here, in Latin America; where people usually Ignores all about Oils and Additives, and only buy Things by their Description on the Package or whatever says the Salesmen. :-\

    Well, there are Lots of that Shock Absorbers available here, in my Country, since there are Plenty of Prado and 4Runner here, and our Streets has Tons of Pot Holes and even Pot Holes inside the Pot Holes... However, the previous posted List... ... of Original Toyota Part Numbers could be Useful for you, in order to Buy a Monroe or Rancho equivalent. Just Use the OEM Part Numbers Given, and try RockAuto. Kind Regards.
  11. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    I'm Glad to Know that your Car is Alive and it does Look Very Good! Kind Regards.

    Joining the existing and wide-ranging Subaru Sambar lineup that includes the TB and TC pickup trucks, the HR (high-roof), extended cab pickup truck, the PVH commercial van, the DP dumpster, and the VB, VBC and VC minivans... ...is the new "Open Deck", which is something like a four-door crew-cab pickup truck:

    The famous Toyota 2JZ engine (3 liter inline 6, iron block and aluminum head, DOHC, and built battle-ship tough as the basis for the Toyota TT) has been swapped into cars ranging from an old Mustang (for the Fast and Furious series) to an S2000... but now also onto a Toyota FT86... in Thailand. Look this Videos: ~► ~► I Believe a Turbo EJ25 could be better Idea: Less Work and probably around the same Capabilities. Kind Regards.
  14. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    Gotta Love those Subaru FF1's Yes. Kinda weird the first time I saw 'em, I was thinking in how Difficult could be to do a Brake Job on Those... Also I Read that Subaru Made Front Disc Brakes in the same spot for the 1300G version. Good Luck with the Restoration Process, it should be a Fun and Great Project! Kind Regards.
  15. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    Good point to Start: Check Both Timin' Belts. I Kindly suggest you to remove their front covers to do a proper inspection of their shape and their tensioners' ball bearings. I Agree, Absolutely. Very Good Advice and Ideas given, I Agree too. Good Luck with the RX. Could you Post Pics? ... we Love Pics here! Kind Regards.

    Sometimes a compression lost could be due a Blown Head Gasket and / or worn Valve seats and seals... Could you tell some Background info of your EA82 engine? ... Was it working Hot or Overheated before the problem happened? I Kindly suggest you to take out that EA82 engine and Open it to take a better Look of its internal's Shape, maybe it only needs Head Gaskets and Valve job... Kind Regards.
  17. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    Thank you for your Kind words. Yes, it looks as Sharp as some of the newer cars' instrument clusters with LED lights, Subaru designers were always ahead of their time. Kind Regards.

    In my case... I Didn't dropped anything because my Subie is 2WD only, I Bet it is the only 2WD Lifted Subie around, and it Hold up Great with the Local 4X4 clubs' Cars, I do Weekend mountain adventure Travels with them sometimes. (Pictures ~► Here.) At the Bottom of my Writeup, I explain that the 4WD subies must drop the Rear Diff with this mod, because it Lift 2" the Rear. There are Special plates to Drop the Rear Diff that you could buy from the People that does Lift Kits, there are Many of them Here, in USMB, I Kindly suggest to Search in the Off-Road Section; but also you can be creative and build your own plates to drop the rear Diff 2" ... it is Not rocket science. Kind Regards.

    Basically talking, the EJ18 has a Single Timing belt for both heads and has Newer EFi Technology than the EA82, which has two different Timing Belts and weak castings on its first two gens Heads. (There are Three Gens of EA82 Heads) No. Again, Basically talking, if you want to use the EA Transmission, you'll need an EJ to EA Adapter, also you need to Modify the Engine's Crossmember... and many other things, like to Swap the Wiring Harness and Computer, etc... The Lowest budget plan could be to Swap another EA82 there, or Fix the one you already have: those are Easy to Fix. Kind Regards.

    Since the same part number was also used on the Land Cruiser Prado and the Hi-Lux Surf, some websites even list it for the Tacoma of the same era... I Believe that it will be fine if you Stick to the Part Numbers Provided. I Searched and Tested the KYB 341232 only, My Subaru "BumbleBeast" Runs very well with those since years ago, despite they has only a li'l more than 4" of Travel (The original Subaru Shock Absorbers has around 6" of Travel) but that short travel is not an issue, because the Coil Springs won't let it go more than 4" under compression. Any other Toyota Shock Absorber could be "Visually" Identical, but can have some differences, such like even shorter travel, Harder ride, etc... So I Kindly suggest you to stick with the Part numbers given, I can not guarantee to work anything else. Kind Regards.
  22. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    Thank You! All the information about that and how it is done, is Here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=72139&page=5 Kind Regards.

    I knew about those King Springs for the EA82 body since Long time ago, but $ 400.ºº for a Pair, plus Shipping and Handling from Australia... Well, is too expensive for me; also I don't see them listed on their website anymore...
