The Dude Abides

LOL no lift. Lower, i know i know but im the kinda guy who goes against the grain.

LOL yes it has been mentioned but not ot worry gents its just skin cancer. NOthing terminal. And if i play my cards right he will have a shiney new coat this summer. Ive finally just got all the parts and tools i need to fix the rust.

Naaa most people on here run exhaust with no muffler at all. I doubt its that.

Snowy Guido Snuggled next to Baby toys where he keeps warm Guido Bleeding vital fluids. Ready For Blizzard Action Suby Flex. Sadly this is all the flex i could get it to go

Now lets not get into everything you did to get your car running

It amazes me how simple it is for me to drive in traffic with the 4wd. I will never go back.

Ill be takeing the camera to work tonight to take some action shots of this blizzard. Film at 11

If you check all that and the belts still look good check to see if its got spark. If it has spark, check for fuel buy squirtin alittle gas or starting fluid in the carb.

Subarus are like legos everything swaps. This would be easier with pics Sounds like you have a ea82 subaru rx with the 1.8. You didnt mention if it had 4wd, or if it was a 5 speed. All these things matter. We can drop the front of your car 2 inches buy swaping in xt springs and struts. Lots of threads on ways to modify these cars. And yes you can swap those parts in your car, just finding the parts might not be so easy.

Unless otherwise advised i half to work today at 330. I havent seen anything looking like a blizzard yet.

Ill drive buy your house tonight when im havin some 4wd fun. Coinsidently the house we put an offer on is kinda buy yours. Neighbor.

If its a 2dr then youve got a ea81. 4wd isnt to hard for the tame of heart i here. Your better off buying another subaru for your offroad beater and keeping the hatch and its 30+mpg for a DD Ride on Ben

+1 on non daily driver. Thats probally the biggest thing holding me back from tearing apart my car is that i need it every day and cant afford it to be down. What i can offer you is that get a whole car if you can. Whether its been wrecked or has a blown tranny. Its still better to get an entire donor car.

Nice grab connie. I imagine your husband is doing this.

Actually its more jealousy on my part. To be able to pick up a hatch, or a wagon for 100 bucks any given day would be nice. Id like a ea81 to play with.

Thats what i thought, i was just stuped i had never heard of this before. Thanks GD

I heard somewhere that vehicles need the air condition compressor or the air condition to be working in order to be able to defrost the windows. Is this true.

are those 14inch pugs in this 1st picture.

i want to find a hatch like that.

Mick any other juicy subarus at the local bone yard. You know my wife has seen pictures of your new brat on the sight and shes like, thats ugly. I wonder what shes gonna say when its in the driveway. )

:grin:Well if i saw your Beast at the pump id half to ask questions to:grin:

That anyone in washington drives anything other then a subaru. Im suprised you all dont know eachother. When i was filling up the wifes minivan today a awd legacy pulled up. I thought about strikeing up a convorsation at the pump but my subaru is sittin nice and cozy in the garage. I wonder if washington folk just sit around talking subaru with other subaru people all day long since everyone in that state ownes one.

Ok top 10 things for various reasons. 1 When you do replace a part, you almost always want oem 2 Check Belts, Hoses, Plugs, Wires, Oil, etc etc give it a good lookover. Or if your to lazy to do that some local shops do a used car inspection where they give your vehicle your planning to purchase a good lookover to see what it needs. 3 If its an auto kiss any type of performance goodbye, do a 5speed swap 4 Your going to be asking to either lower it or lift it. Its easier to lift but you can lower but takes more finess. 5 Your going to be asking for wheel and tire upgrades. NO aftermarket support for these babies. Pugs or 5 lug conversion. 6 Things like Tick O Death, or Axel Clicking will become second language. 7 They rust like crazy so be careful and keep a watch out for it. 8 Make sure its 4wd otherwise whats the point. 9 You want to put in a subaru wrx sti motor. yea you can, these cars are like legos. 10 This is a family and you will learn it very shortly. People on here will look out for you and make sure you dont get bumb advise. I dont even go to mechanics anymore i do what i can buy myself. Folks on here will help you, just be respectful and keep it clean. AND FOR GOD SAKES, post some pics:grin:

y does everyone want to lift. Lower, turbo it, make something unique.

I thought i remeber something about a certain side would still allow you to be able to run and drive with just 1 timeing belt. I dont remember if it was the left or right side though.
