  1. You need to determine if the old window is clipped in or glued in. I am assuming that you are talking about the rear quarter window and not the rear door window.... On my '88 GL10 the rear quarter window was glued in. I tried to buy a window from the local junkyard but they broke it trying to get it out because of the glue and their delicate technique. So I ended up having the body shop change it out for me, they got me a used window and installed it for less then $100 if I remember correctly. Hope this helps.
  2. Thats the risk we take. It's cool, I can sell it.

  3. Glad you got the radiator. When I got it, that's what they listed for a replacement. If it is not going to work for you, let me know and we can work something out. Sorry, I apologize for any confusion.

  4. I got the radiator, but it isn't a dual core. The dual cores were installed on the turbos, but after there release and by the dealerships.

  5. I have a slightly used all metal radiator that I will sell you for $75 shipped...
  6. Hey, called both of your numbers and couldn't leave a message on either. Let me know if you are still interested in the radiator or not. Thanks. Aaron

  7. My PayPal says the money is unconfirmed, but sent. Call me when you have the chance 971.533.0389 or 206.304.3069

  8. Just sent the money dude! Address and everything else is in your email.

  9. If you have an external leak then you should try to fix it. I had the same motor in my car and I ended up replacing all the coolant lines just because they were old and I kept getting leaks. The one in your picture is the coolant return from the bottom of the turbo and the supply line comes from the thermostat housing and runs under the intake manifold straight back to the turbo. I had to remove the turbo to replace that hose, it's not hard it just takes some time. I got the hose from the dealer along with the turbo inlet and outlet gaskets. No other place is going to stock that hose and it was about $28 bucks and comes with the heat shield on it. My turbo also had the white residue coming out of it like that but once I got all my leaks fixed it really didn't use too much coolant. I figured a little bit of coolant added at each oil change was cheaper than a new turbo. I wouldn't worry about it unless you are using a lot of coolant quickly. You will get a lot of opinions on this board about the EA82 turbo's and how bad they are but most people that have had issues with them either tried to modify them and run more boost or got a motor that wasn't maintained well before they got it. If you know what it is capable of (not much) and watch the temperature gauge constantly (turn the AC off going up hills and sitting in traffic) it will run well for a long time. I also upgraded to a 2-row radiator which increases the cooling capacity but I am not sure what the XT's came with? So that would be something to check too. Oh, just a naming mistake but your car doesn't have an intercooler. Intercoolers are a big radiators between the turbo and intake manifold to cool the air down after it gets compressed in the turbo so denser colder air is fed to the motor. Makes more power and helps the motor run cooler. The hood scoop on WRXs is to flow air over the intercooler for this purpose. Good luck. Hopefully it isn't a head gasket.
  10. Let me know when you are ready for the radiator. I can wait for the 22nd, no problem. Thanks. Aaron

  11. dudesmccool for the turbo radiator. I had to change my Paypal info so they said it wouldn't be available 'tll the 22nd. Sorry for the wait. My phone# is 971.533.0389

  12. My 88 had a switch on the clutch and brake pedals that had to be met so that the cruise control would work. I had to put my foot under the clutch pedal and hold it up while I set the cruise so it would work. There is a rubber pad on the clutch pedal assembly that just got compressed over time and the switch had pressed a dent into that was too deep to meet the switch. I put some tape over it as a spacer and now it works great. Hopefully your issue is something easy like that. Oh, and since yours is a turbo it should have an electric vacuum pump. You should be able to hear it kick on if you turn the car to on and then turn the cruise control on. Good luck.
  13. I think the fuel pump on my 88 GL10 died. It doesn't make any noise when I try to start it and it won't start. It used to hum for a couple of seconds when you turned the key on. I still need to troubleshoot a bit more but I wanted to get some opinions on my options for replacement. Looks like I have three options: Bosch N69417 for $256 at the dealer Carter pump for $140 Aerotec pump for $120 or so They all seem really expensive for a car that is 23 years old. Anyone have experience with the aerotec pumps? Just looking for some advice. Thanks.
  14. Wow, that car is an absolute twin to mine!!! I grew up in Pendleton and my car is from Harley Swain in Hermiston. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_slqCFZsHDV4/Tas1NZwgMzI/AAAAAAAAB3I/RdJdZijYeuk/s640/IMG00050-20101111-1317a.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_slqCFZsHDV4/Tas1NjfmeWI/AAAAAAAAB3M/yUMvyykRKD0/s640/IMG00049-20101111-1317a.jpg
