I have also had the idea of painting the entire body Semi-Gloss black (Like Trashwagon10) as the paint is such crap currently on the car, half of it is baked off. Votes on Solid Semi-Gloss Black (Not a Trashwagon Scheme) Or perhaps another color. Either way, this car would be done up right, just like my other Subarus and Toyota. Post your thoughts.

The gray sealant is Fujibond, which is what Subaru uses to seal the Oil pan with, They also seal the Engine block halfs with that. You can reseal the pan using RTV Ultra-Black (High-temp Oil resistant)

The Weber you would be getting should be a 32/36 and would need an adapter for such. This guy sounds like a douche, I hate people who hemm and haw about selling a car. Good luck on this though!

Random question of the day

Teacher cracks your hands with a ruler for that one! "Have you learned nothing in the 8 years you spent in Grade school boy!" To keep this thread on track so it does not get removed: How come the Oil and Transmission dip sticks on EJ cars are never accurate? It always reads over full, when it actually is spot on. -
You can run a 225/60/16 on a 2nd gen Legacy if you run the Outback struts (As the body of the strut is longer so the spring perch is higher above the wheel. 225 is the widest you can fit unless you run spacers or different offset wheels. As for a Legacy with stock Legacy struts, a 225/40 might just clear the spring perch (Every time maker follow different specs) so one makers 40 could be a 50 etc.. This is a '95 Legacy with Outback struts and 225/60/16 Outback wheels. Potenza G019 Grid.

As for the dude with the truck, this is why I always throw it in Neutral, and use a parking brake on MT cars (Unless the E-brake is rotted) -
What does the exhaust smell like? Rich, burns your eyes? If so, check/replace the MAF with a lesser milage one from the Junkyard for about $40. I had a similar issue with my '95 Outback EJ22. 100 miles would be Half tank Also, check the IAC. These were the two major culprits with my extremely poor MPG, 16MPG with a Flat-4 Engine = BS!

This was probably a safety feature mandated by the DOT in the late 80s or early 90s. As all EJ body Subarus have the clutch switch. You can also not start an AT Loyale in gear, Has to be in P or N. -
Conspiracy! You can have that color matched at any Auto paint store, and have it put into Aerosol cans. Most places require you purchase a minimum of 3 cans (Which will probably total $50 or more) Or, just can buy a few cans of Rustolium Semi-gloss black, and repaint the bumper and from the trim line down black. These cars look rather good in two tone. An idea.

Lol, this is the first I've seen this thread (There are sooo many new welcome threads, that some get over looked) Anyway, Welcome to the USMB! Funny cat pics for the win!

Ford tempo spring swap help! Ea82

This is 100% true. I forgot about that bit of info. I want to say Scott (xbeerd) had this same issue with this. -

This might actually be a good idea seeing how many times the same questions have been opened up day after day. Newbies, or even veteran members could ask their questions in here, vs opening a new thread that will only get 3 replies and then it will either get answered, or never be updated and just fade into the 100s similar threads of thread. This should be a sticky! -
Ford tempo spring swap help! Ea82
TheLoyale replied to spikemike203's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
My understanding is, you do not cut them. You want the extra coils, combined with the stiffer spring rate to lift the vehicle and ride better (Handle extra weight of Bumpers, EJ motor swap ect.) -
Ben, thank you! Rocker switch! Duh... *Smacks head* Knowing the proper name for them should make a search on ebay a lot easier. Thanks for the link too! -Tom

Anyone know where to obtain this style of 12v switch? I've searched for Rubber Toggle Switches, but I get just that, A Toggle Switch. This style is more of a Tedder Totter, and they are rubber coated. I can't seem to find these anywhere (WTF?) they are pretty common.

Ben, Thank you, and consider you in line.

Jon, yes. 4:30am will work fine. Give me a call before you leave (To make sure I'm up lol) I'll probably be up anyhow, I'll just sit and watch redundant videos on youtube all morning. I think it will just be you and I, As I don't think Fox is gonna drive to Waukesha.

Its really not the point of better drivability, the drum brakes perform just fine for me. Its mainly the point of making my good car, better. I would also need to run stainless, and then I might as well get braided lines for the front

Anyway, I am thinking of swapping the rear disc from this car, onto my Loyale at some point.
