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

What does closed deck vs open deck mean? I haven't seen this terminology used before.

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...

These are now for sale as I'll be going full ej brakes.
New, used? Cost?

What are you asking for it?

Thanks man, I'm actually planning to go rear wheel drive. Still deciding what engine I'd like to go with but strongly considering a carbed 13b rotary and trans setup. With some porting I'd like to be in the 150-200 whp range... nothing crazy but plenty for what I do with the car. Cheers!
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...

If carfreaks center diff failed and is locked, causing torque bind, it could be used for a RWD conversion, LOL.
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!

the OP I don’t think is active anymore, and hasn’t been for ages, if not a decade. I doubt you’ll get a response.
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. -

The CEL on and off is completely normal for the open coil failure. Almost every oem solenoid I have had has failed. I've been running ea82 cars since 1988. My same Toyota solenoids get moved from car to car, since about 1990. I'm in CT it is nowhere near as hot all the time here.
@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!

I want to try this AT-205 stop leak and it uses 1.5 OZ per quart of fluid in system .
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.

Get a pump from a junk yard or you can get a seal kit to rebuild yours.
I learned about Trans-X here and it worked wonders on our 97 RHD.
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!
-
NASIOC will be your friend in this case. A quick google search with "NASIOC" in the search field will pull up all the threads you could need.

Doubtful. Seems like there was a disconnect at Subaru back in the day regarding line-installed options vs. dealer-installed options.

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