Yes, minus the actual lamps. There is some damage, but could be easily repaired, the car had a minor front end impact that landed it in the junkyard.

I'm pretty sure they are M11.

My EJ20G-swapped EA82 uses the coolant expansion tank from a USDM WRX. Works fine and isn't made of plastic

I have a set of those, if you're looking.

Basic Google description.

Necro-bump! I actually stumbled across the dampening rates for the EA82 the other day and was kind of shocked to find out that the struts on the RX are about 2-3 times more stiff than the base GL struts, on top of having stiffer springs. Sadly, the struts are NLA for all RX-specific part numbers.

As I recall the distributors differ from 2WD to 4WD, with the 2WD distys having a more desirable curve.

Yeah, caged ball bearings don't especially enjoy side loads, much less the forces you're putting on them with 10 -in. wide slicks! The EJs moved to a pair of tapered roller bearing that tend to do MUCH better with side loads. If you move up to the 5-lug conversion no only do you get the nicer bearings, but the brake options and steering knuckle geometry both improve over the EA parts. I was hoping to have my coupe rolled into the garage to start replacing that center diff (Track season is just around the corner!) but the RX in the garage decided to throw a couple new codes after I replaced the knock sensor, so the RX-RA repairs are delayed again...

New, used? Cost?

What are you asking for it?

Might want to consider a rear suspension conversion as well, in that case. Our rear wheel bearings really don't like RWD. I killed the rear bearings in my RWD EA81T wagon with just 100 hp... I've got an STI-catalog 20kg center diff to replace the blown one in the RX-RA's V3 JDM WRX transmission, she will live again!

Some thoughts gathered from @GeneralDisorder

Not since 09/2013, and started a thread about selling his hatch...

Yeah, the 87+ sensors have a green plastic connector, but they sure aren't $10! I found them on RockAuto under the XT, NOT the RX. Two options still available there, so I bought a couple of them, just in case.

Nice to see you made the migration from NASIOC, you should find all the help you need with the ER27 on this forum.

Looking for a working knock sensor for an '87+ EA82T, part number: 22060AA010. What do you suggest? @GeneralDisorder Are there any crossover parts from Nissan? Let me know what you've got.

@DaveT Do you know the part number for the Toyota part? I've got a code 34 on my EA82T.

I have had this discussion many times over and actually chewed out a coworker of mine this morning for blinding me as he followed me into the parking lot. The fact that Diode Dynamics put this out should tell you all you need to know. You can't cheat physics and putting an HID or LED light source in a halogen housing will only result in poor performance. Use brighter bulbs, rewire your system, retrofit your headlamps but for the love of all that is Subaru, DO NOT PUT HID/LED BULBS IN A HALOGEN HOUSING!

Don't. As a design engineer for an OEM, I can tell you that we have analyzed those types of additives and they will end up doing more harm than good. The best advice from this post is to source a spare pump that you can install or rebuild. If the pump/lines/rack from the donor car aren't coated in PS fluid, you can just install the replacement pump. I agree with Numbchux, just keep adding ATF or replace it with a used pump. I would also suggest putting a wrench on all the hose unions and clamps on the hydraulic system to make sure the leak isn't something that just needs a little tightening.

In the U.S. this body style was called the DL, GL and Loyale and were only available with the EA82 engine, hence we call anything with this chassis an "EA82."

Those are engines codes. What do you call this generation of chassis? EA82/Gen 3/Mk 3 Leone/etc...

Meh... It's wired in on both the RX and RX-RA and I've still got a pile of projects.

Finally got around to scanning the instructions that came with my NOS factory fog lamps. I did some (light) investigation and there doesn't seem to be a good way to wire these to turn on without the headlamps also being turned on. Hope this can help some people out!

Your EA82 looks great!
