+1 I want some.

Did you check wheel bearings? Im about to do tie-rods on my 86 GL Sedan, but the passenger side wheel bearing tightened things up quite a bit and although it didnt make a TON of noise, when we pulled it out, GD said it was toast. Not a clean rounded bit on the bearings.

I can honestly say I JUST did this 2 days ago on my EA82 sedan. For some reason, the holes in the cross member didnt match up and thus were a PITA to remove the back 6. My advice (advice I was given from GD) Jack up the front end. put it in some jackstands. Take both engine mount bolts off. Jack the transmission up (with the engine) as high as you can get it to go. Start removing bolts. I think theres like 15 or something? When you get the cork gasket from the dealer (if you do an OEM gasket, I recommend it) get some ultra gray RTV and make sure you coat the gasket in RTV... let it stand over night, or at least a few hours til its no longer tacky. (I suppose you could put a fan or heater on it and get it to dry quicker) Then put it on, this way the gasket doesnt get all hard.. By the way... getting the old gasket off IS a pain in the neck... I had to do a reseal because the jack slipped and crushed the oil pan, had to pound it out and I didnt use a gasket, just used RTV and 2 days later, no leaks, so I think my job went well, but the dealer gasket is sooo much better. When you put it back in, get ALL the bolts started about half way before beginning to tighten them... the last few wont line up 100% so you have to slide the oil pan a tiny bit to get a bolt in, but it will all work out.

I saw the vid for it online... saw the stock EA81 wagon doing it... I think I could do it with no issues... Okay, in truth Im HOPING I can do it with no issues lol

Im excited to see this one ^ I saw pics and it looks amazing!!

Ill be interested... In a stock rig though... Going to go super slow so I dont bust any parts....

Welcome aboard! Tell us a little more about you soobie! Pics... Pics are great! Youll find just about anything you need to know about your Impreza here in the new generation forum! Search, ask questions, enjoy your stay!

Are they compatible? Would be for a 4WD Justy... rear axles. If not, what's required to swap them if that's possible?

But is it an SPFI block or a Carbed block?

Ill give you $126. Im keeding... I wish I could afford something like that, itd be awesome. Is it an SPFI block or Carbed block?

I just have Ned 1986 Subaru GL. Weber 32/36 DGEV 2.5" Cherrybomb Tinted Tail Lights 6000K HIDs 12" Kicker Solo Baric (2) Needs DS/PS Tie-Rods and wheel bearings - Being done this week

Whats this no running a vehicle past 10pm law!?

Is it lifted or just bigger tires? Looks a little bit higher than your friends brat. Both are sick though! Looks very clean and very nice!

You should be at... I believe 14.4-14.5 volts while running...

I had an amazing shot, but Im not lifted haha

I spy Jacob rolling up in the FM brat in the background

^This. This is why I recommend GD for everything. Fair and gets stuff done without cutting corners. Except for this case I guess he did "cut a corner" Done with my puns. I had seen this at GDs place and asked about it and saw the damage, I didnt think it would get repaired quite so nicely. Doesnt even look like it was damaged, great job Rick!

There are plenty of write-ups on the 5 lug conversion. I plan to do that to my car. Although if you cant do that currently, the 15" Peugeot Alloys with the recessed spokes, painted black would look amazing on a red car, I had them on my dark blue sedan, and it looked sweet! I have a few pics I can post up. You might be curious on how to post pics/PM etc.. to PM/Private Message, you need 10 posts. Posts dont count in the for sale section or off-topic area. To post pictures with a photobucket account: Copy the IMG code and paste it into a message. As for the Loyale. My 1992 was getting a little tired at 262k... There are plenty of EA82s hanging around if it does let go... but if you want super cool, start saving your pennies for an EJ22 swap... Go from about 90hp to 135hp (and you can do AWD swap as well, thats what Im doing with a frankenmotor later on)

Well lets start with a few things: Welcome to USMB Youll find lots of pictures, information and amazing people More information about your Loyale? Color, miles, auto-tragic or manual transmission? Define "cool" for me?

Should be the same exact alternator you have now... Your car is an EA82 is it not? The maxima alternator is more amps but its not a "direct" bolt in, but GD has the best write-up Ive ever seen on it.

+1 on the alternator. Theres a user (I believe Bratman18) that has a reman EA82 alternator BNIB for like 40 bucks shipped. I had thought about picking it up just to use as a spare, but didnt have the $$ at the time, he might still have it, would have to check the for sale section

I was recommended to check out "superbrightleds.com" http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=124088 Theres some bashing on me for wanting tinted taillights But my tail lights arent even that dark so although I may get those bulbs soon, its not necessary for me.. They seem to have really good prices for what youre getting
