86BRATMAN

I think the biggest difference in the fenders is where the radio antenna mounts. Early ea81, like 80-81 maybe 82 mount on the driver's side, and from there up they are on the passenger's side. I had somebody on here check availability of the rockers from subaru. Seems like there were still a few in stock in the states. If you want I can look up the part numbers again.

A man can dream can't he:grin:

If I'm not mistaken the Phase two ej25 has a 105K mile timing belt interval.

I think Bucky just wants to go for a ride. He doesn't care if he's got interior.

Nah, your just a person with a copy of the original. We shared key blanks with nissan/datsuns for years.

Yeah... Its 3:30 for me... How do you think I feel:rolleyes:

The owner says the timing belts are fine. A quicky inspection showed they are both there, each side had belt covers removed with the center section still there. I couldn't verify if it was in correct time while at his house due to negotiation of price, not wanting to show incredible interest, and rain. The way he talked, I was honestly afraid if I figured out what was wrong while he was there that he wouldn't want to sell it. He quite literally owns more subaru's than was in the picture of Connie's cookout. All but 4 were ej series, so there is the possiblilty of him not knowing how to correctly time an ea82 motor.

You shouldn't have that issue with the ej. But if it makes you feel more comfortable with your work, go ahead and pull the motor. Piece of mind is priceless.

All you need to really worry about is getting all the gasket material removed from the block itself. The heads should not be smooth, so have them check ed and resurfaced if needed. Maybe even take some medium grit sandpaper(200-400 grit) and lightly rough up the surface of the block. O/T, did you follow the retorque sequence on the ea81 motor? I've never seen one blow a h/g twice in my life if it's done correctly.

Good for 25 Hp at his rear wheels:lol: I know his car is fwd...

Was your car an original ea81t car. Here is the states they came with factory oil coolers.

I wish it looked as good as your red one. Your car is absolutely amazing. This one has paint fade on the mirrors and door handles. But my jaw literally dropped when I saw what this old fella called a "decent shape" car. By the time I realized I 'd forgot my camera I was took far out into the middle of nowhere from my house to get back, and still get there with daylight to spare. That'll teach me... Once I get back(maybe a week or so) with the trailer I'll get some pics. I'll check the cap and button. First thing.

I hope you are right Rob, I hate to say it but I use the same password for most everything. I hope its not the case here.

I'm looking at one. Rust free body, I mean absolutely rust free. Like west coast rust free. Did I mention it was rust free.... Anyways, its cheap, $400 with a parts car. Converted to coilover suspension, light blue(like my hatch). Alloy wheels, slight wear on the driver side seat. Push button 4wd 5spd, spider intake(yeah I know its stock in that year). Straight body with exception of a dent on the passengers side fender. Other than that there is one somewhat major problem. No pictures because i'm an idiot and forgot my damned camera... The problem lies with its running conditon. It only runs on 2 cyls reports the owner. I looked at it today, the timing belts are intact. And everything under the hood seems in order, for what I know about these cars anyways. My time looking about it was cut short by a rain storm. I'm getting the car, no question. Whenever I can manage to get my friend with the trailor free enought to drive over an hour each way on 1.5 lane roads to get to her.

Ej's have bolts like an ea82. And are narrower by a touch. You should have no trouble changing the hg's in car.

Heat shielding would be my first guess. Does it sound like metallic pinging? Maybe run some higher octane or seafoam through the pcv to clean out the upper engine stuff.

My original 87 key and... And just too prove timeline of pictures taken. Look at the thread in the back ground of the pic...

You just hold onto your computer chair... I'm uploading a few pics I just took...

You SO don't wanna play that game with me...

To get more out of the speakers, thin along the lines of a small 5 channel amp. One channel per door speaker and one for the sub box. Could be well hidden uner the seats and with a littl ebit of wiring run from your stock stereo.

I've got one for an 84 gl-10 sedan that i got as parts, and an 86 std 2wd hatch also for parts around here somewhere...

Fot the temp site you must re-register. The old registration for xt6.net is being held hostage along with the rest of the site... Tom, it is never wise to publicise your login password. Even though we are all a big family here, there are still browsers of the site who don't login and can see that and begin to hack into your life. Guard your passwords with care, no matter where they are to. All some people need is one inch and they can take a mile.

In the ones I've pulled the dash from, I've popped out the vent covers and used a box end 10mm wrench to get those three bolts out. It is tedius work. But it beats the snot out of taking out the windshield.

The er27 was the first subaru motor to actually have the size reflected in the engine code.

For one... Don't use 4wd on pavement unless snow or ice is involved. Loyale... It is not normal for a car to pull to either direction while driving. you should get your alignment checked asap.
