subyrally

on my rx, it always locked the fromt right wheel.

thanks for that, i needed some encoragement. i tink if i can get a new block, i might could be set. hey snot rocket, would you be able to help install the engine?? if so, i might could get access to a heated garage. ill send you a pm. thanks everyone for your support. peace tim c.

go team go

i almowst forgot, its also smoking out the dip stick and some oil is coming out. figures, i fix everything else on it and it the engine craps on me.

the engine is in need of lots of work. basically, the previos owner of the engine had new heas put on an old block. needs a rebuild or new shortblock. either way, im thinking that is getting to mbe more trouble than its worth. besides, the temp tags expire this week and i cant afford to get it fixed and inspected before the deadline. we are going to take it off the insurance and return the tags this week, unless someone can break out a miracle. otherwise, i will start over on the car.the way i see it, if i have to wait this long , it better be well worth it. needless to say, i think the rings are shot, possibly the pistons. there is oil puking into the intake, extreamly excessive blowby through the valve cover breathers, the standard suby death tick under load, burns oil when ever i am flooring it to get up to speed up a hill, the turbo looses boost due to the oil in the intake. on top of all that, the steering rack blew out on both sides, total domp of all fluids in it. i think the steering pump finally died. the really screwed up part is that i just fixed the heater fan in the car yesterday. unless someone has a new ea82t that i could drop in, i dont think ill get the car on the road again. pitty everyone is out west, save but a few. peace tim c.

NEVER tell me to drive a honda. i hate hondas sooo much, i am a suby driver through and through. but thanks for the advice. i knew there was something wrong with the engine, but wasn too sure of what it was till today when i had some one runa diagnostic on it. for the price of a new engine for it, i could get a wrx engine. i think ill strip the engine out and do an engine swap. ill try to keep the interior and exterior as close to stock as i can, but im not too sure what will come with time. im feeling something in the neighborhood of overkill. i am going to save my money and start over from scratch. i will do it right this time round.

i am starting to think that its just not meant to be, every time i fix something on the rx, something else breaks. now i think i need either a full rebuild or new engine. on top of that, when i was driving home form the garage that i had look at it, i got pulled over for a bad tag light. is it really possible for one person to have this much bad luck and still be alive? this is getting rediculous, i dot havethe time to get it rebuild and i dont have the money to get a nnew engine. i am at a loss, i dont know what to o any more, ive put more time and effort into this car than what it is worth. ive put more moeny into it than its worth. if i had the time or money, i would doa total engine swap, im thinkkng something like the legacy turbo short block with wrx components around it. but that wont be cheap or easy, and thats what i want to put into my impreza. im just very unlucky, even if i could do that, something else would break. mythinks i am beyond screwed. tim c.

between my legs works fine for my, but if you want a real cup holder, you can go to pepboys and pick up a cup holder that fits in the window between the glass and the inside of the door. they are usually pretty cheap. peace tim c.

makie sure to flush and clean the gas tank. and if possible, flush all the lines. check the tires for dry rot.thats all that i can think of, but i had to go through a lot more than that on my rx that had been sitting for 6 years, but it didnt have an engine in it when i got it.

sexy

hmmm, go for it and let me know how it turns out.i hope i dont run into that when i get my rx running right.

sooo, oddcomp, you going to make me one? if you do and manage to finda way to come out to the east coast in mid feb, ill buy you a 24 pack.i really want the whole setup now that ive read the thread. although i think that i should try to get the car inspected before i spend anymore money on upgrades. granted, i think ill have to at least upgrade the turbo before inspection just to get through. my stock turbo is blowing oil everywhere and the inlet hose is dead, all dried out and broke. this whole edis and ms thing should be sweet with what im going for with the rx. hey garner, how goes the brat, i havent heard much about it in a while.

if you do the craftsman trick right, you wont damege the socket. you will need an impact socket and you only need to get it about 1/4" onto the lugnut. any farther on and it will just crack down the side and do you no good. good luck, those are sweet rims.

anyone ever had this happen? my trunk wont stay closed, its almost like there isnt a latch at all. or like somone is pulling hte trunk release while i close it. i cant figure it out. first occurance was when i had the car at the garage to get the tires put on, the tech put my stock wheels in the trunk and then came out to tell me that the trunk wouldnt close. i wiggled the key and it latched. but now nothing is working for me. i dont know where to start on the latch to figure out whats wrong. thanks tim c.

keep it hidden, go for the sleeper pounce on your victims

time to upgrade to a td04.

hmmm, very cool. i might try to get a shifter assembly from the junk yard and then have taht one modified. i wonder if the bushings for the rx are anything like the ones for the wrx.

well, i have sarched around and havent seen much to do with shifters.the only thing i found was for the ea81 cars. i am looking for better shifter bushings and possibly a short shifter for the rx. im getting tired of punching my passengers in the knee when i go into 5th. that and the plastic trim peices kepp popping off when i shift. any one have any info on getting ahold of what i need? thanks tim c.

and its also know as a realy good paper weight.

VVVVRRRRRooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!, bang

what kinda of problem did you come up with from the cams? i am thinking about getting some.

ive only heard that for when you install a new turbo. when you put in a new turbo, i8t usually doesnt have any oil in it or the lines. this pre lubes it with out causing damage to the turbo.

i read somewhere that the rx sedan weighed somewhere around 2400 or so. ultra light, and its pretty stiff in the corners as well. very noticeably lighter than the impreza. i think that ill be trying to get some better handling outta my rx when i get the chance, granted it handles nicely now. i have a set of coil over springs meant for the impreza, but ill be installing em on the rx after inspection.

nifty

i think im going to be sick, wait, never mind that, i know i am going to be sick. excuse me, i need to step into the restroom and vomit. violently.
