A EJ20TT won't even fit in the USDM Imprezas (Left hand drive) so I don't think a TT is gonna fit in the EA82 lol. Unless you get real creative :cool:
-
Just happy I can drive the GL around! Everything is taken 3x as long as I anticipated on this. Next summer I have to do more zzz which I was trying to avoid, now I have two FT jobs, I don't have time like I used to (Nor the patience. I need sh*t done, and I NEED IT NOW!)

As for flaring/air dams. Yes it does make a large difference (Really noticeable in 18-wheelers) those little flares which run along side of the trailer will add 1mpg (Which adds up) and I'm sure the drag is also helped. I know of the large air dams on the rear of the cab, I've seen plenty of those, and it probably helps. Surely some type off flaring on your roofrack will help. Add a wedge to the front (Like a Daytona) :-p

I find the low temp odd. Ever after driving it for a while, and beating on it a little, the cooling fan does not come on. The gauge indicates its running, I'd say about 170* or less, but the heat is nice and hot!? Could my new genuine thermostat me junk from letting it sit without coolant for a few weeks? As for the flanges, nope. Had a few Impreza guys say they could make them, but nothing more has come of that (Typical lol) I dunno about engine liter Tom, My Toyota is 4.0 Straight-6, and it is slower off the line than the GL lol! (But it rides better)
-
Lol, yeah I've noticed this. I'm giving it hell, and the cars behind me (Buick LeSaber) is still on my hatch lol. At least it sounds good
-
I pretty much mounted my rack the same as you did. Perhaps the motor is getting tired. Although, I've noticed, even with 200,000+ miles, Subaru motors wear very well. I've seen the piston walls still have the original hone marks.
-
Sealed up the header flanges with RTV, sounds so much better. I made a few parts runs in the Subaru tonight cause O'reilly's Ford Rangers are junk lol. My temp gauge is running cool, why? It used to work just fine before I pulled the motor out, not its below half when at running temp. Possible failing sending unit?

Seriously? Ahahaa, wow. -
I dunno how yours can be so bad on the freeway? Mine has 27s, rack, lights, tire, and a 3AT! I can get up to 55-60 real easy. Hmm

Thats because nobody works on new chryslers. Its like going on the Focus forum, really pointless. I couldn't find any good info on diagnosis (Glad it wasn't my car!) Its kinda amazing that a car this new has wiring issues!? How did this happen? -

This glove box lid has a different handle than mine, WHY! I like this lever style more than the turn release style. -

Solid rear axle subie! LOL. JesZek has seen an EA82 with Toyota axle under the rear in his country. Lol funny! Dunno about a V8 in the old Celica 2JZ that shiz! Keep it Japanese muscle, Toyota V8! :cool: Drove the GL to work today, wow, no slipping clutch! I can do pulls in 3rd! Its actually faster than I thought this car was, it pulls hard in 3rd from 35-55 (About 6secs) shift into 4th and carry it to 75mp! Wanted to go faster but the 5-0 were stalking the area. I need to fix my exhaust leaks. Didn't use gaskets on the header flanges cause I'm fawkin' lazy. I'll just goop it up with RTV (Its only temp until I build the rear exhaust)
-
I kinda want to go this route with the GL, but that would also require dropping in a new driveline so its actually fast. Damn this Celica looks good. Japanese muscle car?

What seats are those? -
Glad to see Bennie got that grille I sent him. Looks great on there chap!

I just ordered a Temp sender from Rockauto. $7.94 shipped via First Class! Perhaps this will be the correct part (It still has the single Spade tab) These threads are becoming a mess, Talking about another Subaru, in a Subaru build thread, which has its own build thread! Perhaps I need to make a build thread about how to make a build thread. Or a thread about how to have a 1,000 post thread about a car you don't even own yet. (Check out the first page of this thread if you don't understand my last comment)

Mick, OH! Is that what the issue is..? Yep, you did send me a box of those, I put a new one in the GL so the Fan would work. But yes, the Loyale needs the one for the Gauge which screws into the intake. The problem is when I look up "Temp Sender/Sensor" it always brings up the $100 two wire one which goes elsewhere on the Intake, and does not control the gauge. Kenny, those lights are the same ones. I just made them Amber As these will soon be wired as Marker Lights/Turn signals, so I won't have to add lights to the bumper (1980-82 bumper) As for the dealer, I was given the wrong parts a few times at my dealer. Since they can't run the vin on the 1983, they have to manually look it up (I guess its hard for the mentally compromised who work at the Dodge/Jeep/Subaru dealer) Haha!

You must be a lucky man..! Hell, I ordered a Borg Warner Coolant temp switch from the Hub location for O'reillys, Hub driver dropped it off a few hours later, I looked at it and and its like 3x the size of the original, it won't even screw into the port on the intake (Its like an M20!) So, I'll write up a return invoice tomorrow and maybe go order one at Subaru.

Jon, thank you for drawing this up! I printed it out nice and clear, gonna check around for some type of Machine shops in Waukesha, Could a Mill cut this, or will it have to be CNC'ed?

It varies per year and model (Combi, Saloon, Coupe' ect..) It will be a little metallic sticker with two or three numbers on it, sometimes on the front Radiator support, Door jam, Strut tower. Like this
