I did look at those as well, would they be visibly blown? They didn't look like it. But I'll check.

The other day my ignition got stuck on my 89 EA82 GL, so I pulled the back side off and started it, that issue is all solved(broken off key stuck inside) When I was doing that, I slipped and touched the screw driver to the solder points on the backside of the ignition, now I have no power to the cigarette lighter, the radio (lights are on but won't play) and no windshield wipers, what could this be? I check all the fuses and none are blown. Thanks

yup, it's been done several times.

If I had a garage, I would do a lot more of this kind of stuff!!! Looking good!!

So looks like it sold. 3250?

Yeah I remember when I added it to my Brat! What a difference, especially for off road in my case. Looks like a great car!!! Don't crash it!!!

Looks good!! And power steering!!

That's cool. I had a friend that was gonna do that, but just never got around to it. Sounds like it works great!! and nice clean job!!

That thing looks great!! Where in the hell did you find that!!!

Have you shown pics of this new coupe yet? Maybe I just missed them.

That's cool!! Looks like it has some decent low end grunt too!!

Sweet. Just think, as long as all OEM Subaru stuff was used, you shouldn't have to ever worry about it again!!

Usually the thermostat gasket comes in the box with the thermostat. Good to hear you got a radiator. Mine had the fittings, but I was having a hard time getting it boxed up. Good luck man!!

Nice!!

Try subimods.com They sell a nice kit that a lot of people I know have used and loved. And it's a reasonable price too!!

Same here, if I have any odds and ends lying around that you need, I'll donate them if you need them. Good luck!!

Yes they are the same PN, and great job on the search!!

I say do what you can to fix this one up, AND get the coupe. If you can get a solid coupe for cheap, jump on it!!! But if you can save the one you have for the price of your time, do that too!!

I honestly don't know. I just know that this is EXACTLY what mine was doing, and it was the HG's:-\. These won't mix with the oil, because the phase 2 2'5's have external leaks. You may not be seeing any leaks yet, but I bet there is some sort of leak there, it just isn't really showing yet. Just make sure that you let it cool down and top the radiator AND the overflow back off, so it never gets hot. My old RS is still thriving with it's new owner. He replaced the HG's and it's going strong!!

Well definitely try the radiator cap first. Just grab one off another similar Subaru and see if it works. If it doesn't, then I'd say it's the HG's. Man I really feel for ya. I tried the additive on mine. It prolonged it a little, but it still did the same thing to an extent

I think the STi motor swap would be real doable. They are very close. But to go with an H6, it would be quite a bit of work with wiring

I was dreading you posting about this eventually. It may be the radiator cap, but my guess is the HG. That's what mine did pretty much the whole time I had it. Spewed coolant outta the overflow. And as long as I replenished it when it cooled down, it would never get hot, but it was the head gaskets. Good luck man!!

That's what I thought. Thanks

I'm pretty sure it does.

Oh good!! It was just a thought. So What have you got in store then????
