Engine oil Suggestions and Fuel Filter
bratman18 replied to Caramanos2000's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I've never heard of someone actually offering this! Wow! They should do that around here! sounds like an ok price but honestly. just do it yourself. It's very easy. Just wash thoroughly, let it dry very well, and then apply whatever kind of oil you want! -
Yeah that's cool and very smart! If he ever need more gearing, he can just swap out a few parts!!!!! I'm jealous!
-
Sweet! The tires are HUGE for a Brat or any subaru for that matter! You have tom remember that the stock tire is a 185 70 13! So having a 35 inch tire is insane!! Hopefully the gearing will work really well with the amount power it puts out. If so than it should drive ok. Cool project

Rear Wheel bearing question
bratman18 replied to Deener's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
no prob! If you run into any problems feel free to ask!! -
Those tires are huge!!!! That's gonna be insane on a Brat! Can't wait to see it when it's done, and in action. So does that mean the rear is being held up by itself now?

You won't need a hub tamer on one of those. I've done them before, they are actually pretty easy and self explanatory. But you will need to remove the brakes. But again, not too hard. -

That's not a bad choice, but at that mileage, I would personally go with 10w40. You are in a warm climate too. But that's just my opinion. -

Quick Q: Headlights on 87 GL-10

Sucks that both went out at the same time, but at least they are cheap!! -

IIRC there is a fuse for each side. So maybe by chance both low beam elements went out. I'm also assuming that it has EA82 GL style headlights -
What does that make it in fahrenheit? It's only about 5* f here!

fuel injection manifold EA81
bratman18 replied to hatchsub's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The EJ will fit between the frame rails. But the EA82 would require notching the frame quite a bit. A friend of mine did it in his 80 EA81 wagon. But when he got it, it had front end damage so it required frame rail work anyway so he just built it to fit the EA82. But the EJ will drop in with no mods on the frame rails. But on the older Gen 1 it won't fit with out notching -
Yeah you need to make sure you get the shift linkage etc. as well for that tranny. Again I have shift linkage too but it's another one of those things I'm really not willing to part with:-\sorry! And how bout that snow!! We are supposed to get 12-15" tomorrow! Fun fun! It just means I'll be out doing some plowing again on my wheeler! Good luck on getting parts and like I said, as soon as I find a box big enough, I'll send out that rear diff!! Oh yeah and are you definitely going to the car show in Carlisle?
