TWE Header, Downpipe and Fuel
carfreak85 replied to Myxalplyx's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
None of us are going to need to do mod our fuel systems after putting on the exhausts. Our stock systems have enough wiggle room to compesate for the extra airflow by them selves. -
If your car is non turbo, take those turbo cams out because they aren't doing anything but hurting your car. Turbo cams are set up for turbo cars and have too long of a duration for a normally asperated engine.

Do you have any pictures of it yet?

The 84 turbo and emissions
carfreak85 replied to Mr. Carb's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The shroud for the mechanical fan is basically useless. It is about half an inch deep for the radiator and is only on top of the fan. I wouldn't sweat it. -
whats a turbo unit worth??

Not much. You might check to see what they're going for on ebay. -
What do you think about these Flares???

Get me a pic of those fenders. -
The 84 turbo and emissions
carfreak85 replied to Mr. Carb's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Heres what I do when I get a new car and need to test it: Replace/ change all tune up parts (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, oil/filter, air filter, fuel filter) as well as a radiator flush, change trans and rear diff fluid and put in known good gas. For my turbo wagon, I just had it tested and if passed with no problems, so I did't have to fool around with it too much. I would replace all the under hood hoses to make sure you don't have a vacuum leak. Get a cat for that sucker! If the systems interchange, I can let you borrow the one off my wagon for testing. I'll be back in town this weekend or next so if you still have my number, you can come over and check out my wagon. -

Well, I do have access to unlimited amounts of carbon fiber and fiberglass. These would be projects for school, but if I made two I could keep one for class and made a few for you gen 1 guys. Caboobaroo, if you get your dam up here, I can try to make a copy. PM me if you're interested. -

If you have an airdam for the brat, get some pics with that on. It might look awesome. If you don't like them, don't vut them up, save them since that is the only known set of flares we have. Maybe get a bunch of duplicates made, or I'm serious here, send the originals up to me and when I have time at school I can make some duplicates. As long as the originals remain unmolested. -
Drain Plug Tool or Just Ratchet?

No special tools are avalible from the dealer as far as I know. -
XT-6 5 bolt hubs on EA81?
carfreak85 replied to subiewonkenobi's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Will not slide right on. You'd probably need to to a lot of custom work for them to fit without swaping the whole front suspension plus all the custom fabbing that would require. -
The first serial number isn't an LSD and when I enter the other two numbers all I get back is the parts request for the first diff which makes me think that it is a superceeded part. Flow's shows up as an LSD however.
-
Thats what I thought about the RXs, but I seem to remember there being a few FT4WD 5spd XT6s with LSDs having been reported.
-
I thought that all RXs or turbos for that matter had 3.7 final drives. This seems to say otherwise and it was recently updated. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/mick/gears.htm

84 hatch ignition problems
carfreak85 replied to gonehuntn's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Sounds like a really, really bad ground or short in some part of the ignition switch/ entire system. -
I would just replace them. Preventative maintenance will do wonders for the long term reliability of your car.
