subeman90

my 1.8 impreza's were always horrible on gas. :-\ I've has an OBS with a 1.8 AWD 5 speed that could on a good day on the highway only get 24-25 The guy who does my inspections told me of a custome of his that has a 2wd that gets 32-35 but i didn't know if it was 5 speed of not and I'm sure that is driving like grandma would drive... I think your issue is the fact that it is automatic....I think that is hurting you mostly.

I have heard this myth of the 90-91 2.2's doing this in the upper years of life. I will also say that I have also had a 90 legacy blow its HG too but I think my issue was a little different....I lost my water pump and before i realized what was going on....poof it was over. I would say before blaming the HG's look elsewhere for other issues too. FWIW, this car also had 205k on it when it happened and when I had the t-belt done at 180k I asked them to do the WP and they didn't because it was "still good"

personally I'd buy one for the car the tranny came out of. Is there a difference between 2wd and 4wd? If not I can give you a vin to an 86 turbo 4wd

flywheels don't usually come with a kit

yeah i had that "this would be cool if I could pull it off" type of thing going on but I kinda figured in the back of my head this would not fly very well. I am not going to hack up a good low mileage car to put it into...even though they are cool as heck. Yeah it came from Harry's....I figured i was taking the dash so I might as well take the cluster too since I had to remove it. In the end...I'll probly just sell it to help cover the cost of the seats.

has anyone ever done this? I was wondering if it is even close to plug and play or if it is a pipe dream. I already have the digi so give me your thoughts.

simply put... WOW!!!!! :slobber: :slobber: :slobber: :slobber: :slobber: lucky s.o.b.

I was wondering about that too....hmmmmm:D

you let me know when, what,and how and we'll go from there....they are holding the front of the 83 up at the moment so i don't think they are going anywhere....

Thanks john....I just had a bright idea....there is a loyale sedan FS at a car lot about 2 miles from here. I might have to take an extended test drive. But if that doesn't work out....I might take you up on that.

his legacy is a 5 speed

Thanks guys...I was 95% sure this was the answer before i posted but i wanted to be 100%. My main problem with "test fitting" is that the cars are about 150 miles apart. Thanks again guys.

ok here is the deal....I am going to hook up a board member with my snow tires/wheels off of the 83 GL and they are going to put them on say a 92 loyale. Will the wheels fit from one car to another. I remember something about brakes hitting but ??????? FWIW, the 92 in question is a 2wd car and the 83 is a beautiful black car with really low miles on it....and yes I realize i am just rambling right now but i am having withdraw from not driving that really nice black 83 GL. (shhhh its sleeping for the winter already ) And just b/c it is my thread and I am in a strange mood...I am going to make my post eleventybillion times better with a few naners... :banana: :banana: :banana:

might not be the same....but I'm no expert

from this site: http://www.nhtsa.com/portal/site/nhtsa/menuitem.9fa154a4d39f02e770f6df1020008a0c/;jsessionid=F1LETMy2PJFj1p1A9itOaNyhiGGN2IP2vzPrqrQzlnSWfVTlY20B!-1058166001 there are TSB's that are in regards to the clutch. The one that stands out to me is: nhtsa# 10001726 service bulitin: 035203 Keep in mind these are vague descriptions on the internet but there is a SB about the clutch out there so consult the subaru dealer.

There is a TSB for that year car. Take it to a subaru dealer and talk to them about it....especially if you have a new clutch in it otherwise you are going to ruin the new one too. Been here and done this before.... (2002 Outback) Good luck.

just get the good stuff and do it right...you went all that way to get the parts so don't half a$$ it the rest of the way. Was good meeting you though!

either of them would really be cool!

I had a prof. in college that had that exact car....and I can honestly say my feelings toward it haven't changed..... OMGHOTTTTTTTTTTT OMG TURBO <---too funny

Soutthpaw sent in this submission: Just thought this link should be here on repairs. Anti-seize lubricant http://www.permatex.com/products/aut...ubricant_a.htm Use it on any and all bolts and nuts subject to corrosion. it will handle temps to 1600*F. Really good for exhaust manifold studs, bolts and nuts. Most auto parts stores carry it.

personally...I don't see the point in that wagon in the link. There is no tailgate so you really can't haul anything. Furthermore in the state of PA it now wouldn't pass inspection....You need a tailgate for your bed. :-\

yeah we thought the taillights were nice looking too! As for raped.....yeah me and ben really had our way with her today.

you can do anything you put your mind to. I'd say try it....it isn't like it is going to cost you much money to buy it and if you screw it up....oh well I think you could make a tailgate out of the back hatch if you used your imagination...

oh baby I made out like a bandit today. GL-10 interior, digi dash, and the needle in the haystack....a grey dash! So I assume that you got the tail lights off that car huh Connie? Ben did awesome today too for getting parts for his XT-6 5 speed swap! Good day at Harry's and let me tell you the Baja looked like Sanford and Son on the way home! What a great truck!

bummer dude...that really sucks.
