New Subaru Commercial With Brat
carfreak85 replied to Durania's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I saw the two forester commercials yesterday. Kinda makes you wonder how much sway we have in the Subaru community as a whole. It seems as though this ad was aimed directly at this message board. -
Does your friend actually drive that car? With no fog light cover? In the rain? AND with no air filter? That 2.7 ain't gonna last very long running in conditions like that.

ea81, and ea82 ball joints the same part?
carfreak85 replied to archemitis's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Awesome! I'll have to double check somehow, but at least now I can start hording parts for the swap! -

Can we substitute the EA82 ball joint and sleeve for an EA81 ball joint? Planning this mod on an EA81. -

carfreak85 replied to archemitis's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
What about the width of an EA81 ball joint versus that off an EA82? Specifically the part that slips into the hub, will an EA81 ball joint fit in an EA82 hub? If not, is it larger or smaller? -
Nissan used that stuff in the older Infiniti Q45 sedan. You can trust it in your wet noodle wagon chassis, I plan to.

Need more engine swap advice

Does anyone know the width of an EJ22? -

If you know how to download a torrent, the files are there for the viewing. Atkinson's third podium finish in four rallies. Solberg is sniffing out a win in the next round, Jordan. That round is set to start April 24 and run until the 27th. Live radio broadcast can be heard streaming live at wrc.com during the event.

No, but I did have to leave the whip behind... Was it Zefy? I know he was looking to put an EJ in there, but not sure if it's done yet.

Pics of my 76 wagon

Gotta love those terracotta wagons! Here's ours: -
What a info hog!! Share the wealth, whats the point of keeping it secret? Or just want to be :cool:?

OK, I just updated myself on ScottinBellingham's EJ22 disty/carb conversion. I want this engine in one of our Gen 1s (Just got an '80 Brat). Has anyone test fitted an EJ22 in a Gen 1 engine bay? I looked at some pics of Garner's old EA82T powered Brat and that engine barely kissed the chassis before he frenched it. If the EJ22 is narrower, is it same to assume that it would drop in?
-
If the EJ22 is more narrow than the EA82, then it looks like it might fit in the Gen 1 engine bay without mods. Hmmmmm.....

I agree about the bad gas. Drain it out or dilute it a lot. Maybe run some Seafoam through the fuel system? No FSMs up here. I'll have to wait for the weekend for that information.

I'm pretty sure there are only supposed to be two relays on the strut tower. As for your injectors, grab an automotive stethiscope and listen to the injectors while the engine is cranking. These cars tend to have problems with transmissions (The govener gear), ignition parts (Inside the distributor), cracked heads and the occasional bad ECU. The latter would be my next bet for your wagon, followed by the disty. After class today I will try to look at my troubleshooting guide so we can figure this problem out.

Let me know how much your CD player skips and how easily it spits out discs. I mounted mine the same way and it skips pretty badly, and sometimes has trouble ejecting the disc all the way. I was wondering if the extreme angle of the slanted console was a factor.

More Scanned Articles
carfreak85 replied to carfreak85's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Whatever, it was and is free and easy enough to use. Dave, I love Sport Compact Car magazine, but there is some incorrect information in that article. The low range they list if the N/A low range, that is the one fact that sticks out to me. Lets see some more articles! Especially from NZ or Oz. -
Longer MY rear shockies?
carfreak85 replied to Matatak's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
YES! Look for rear shocks off a TJ Jeep Wrangler that came with the factory 2.5" lift kit. These are around 4" longer. I have a set of Rancho shocks on my hatchback and they are awesome! http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=83980&highlight=rancho+shocks
