Will this: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=124252 Fit a 1998 Outback with auto transmission? I cant seem to find an automatic gearbox ratio chart for Subarus... I keep coming up with this same chart: http://spda-online.ca/modules/tinycontent/rewrite/tc_28.html

I know a SPFI motor can be put under a carburetor manifold with higher compression/more power (how much does this change the reliability?) Can this go the other way? If it was being rebuilt, could it be "altered" in such a way that it would be the same as an SPFI motor?

You need intake gaskets... Ive heard you can use "other" forms of them, but they are necessary...

Anyone bought tie-rods for an EA82 from RockAuto that might have the correct part numbers?

Is that like lacquer thinner? Ive used that before to remove grease and stuff... Used it on motors that were out of the car to clean them up.

Nu brat

Steel wool worked great on the paint over spray, the back window is incredibly clear. I used a dish soap afterwards to clean it all up, then powerwashed for a rinse... dumb idea... with open tail-light holes (doh) But I began cleaning up the silicone and will hopefully have the new lights in this weekend!

Ooo I like seeing brats with EJ swaps!

Your coupe is awesome did you get the gas tank fixed? You were in my convoy last year... I sadly was in a Pontiac Wagon.. But this year Im bringing a scoob

Im just curious to put member names to faces to cars at WCSS this year. I know some of the members by face and car but not all of you. Ill start off, hopefully this catches, Id like to know who everyone at the show is. REGISTERED Im Marshall Bringing Ned - 1986 GL Sedan. Dark blue. Pics arent necessary, but if you want to include one, go ahead!

I will attempt this soon, I have a few bottles of Goof Off hanging around, I just havent gone out to the garage yet.

Ohh, yea I totally thought it was for the silicone lol. Do you think that stuff will take the rusty looking stuff off chrome wheels? I have a set Im trying to sell, and it would be amazing if they were in perfect condition for whoever bought them?

Sweet, Yea my brother had a 240sx and he had razor blades in it that I found, so I can use the razor blade idea as well, we will see what works the best for this stuff

Well thats no fun So we gotta change what we discussed the day with the shift knob but Ill send you a text.

Thanks! I knew I could find the right answers! I will try the steel wool first as I dont have razor blades handy and hopefully that does the trick. I will use the goof off method first so theres no risk of losing paint with droplets or anything. If that doesnt get it off, then I will use the chemical.

Okay, I was going to do these all separate, but decided to try to put it all together as one thread. First - What is everyones luck with getting this black silicone off the paint, without damaging it? I am getting new tail-lights this week and want to put them in with a fresh seal. I would like the body side of the lights to be down to paint as the new lights will get a scrubbing as well. Been told to use Butyl Rubber to seal the lights, any other suggestions or is this the best idea? (got it from GD, its gotta be a good one, but am I missing anything) Second - How can you get paint off glass without damaging the class/scratching the glass? I have some black overspray on my rear window (how it got there, Im clueless to) I have a friend who said to use steel wool and dish soap, but having used steel wool to clean the chrome wheels, Im a little nervous to use that on glass.

Registered Now to start camping/convoy stuff!!!

Thank you

Awesome!

Actually, I washed the whole car. But this is an ongoing process for my sister, who doesnt like how Subarus look Anyway, before and after pics of the wheels. Im going to be spray painting the chrome black, she doesnt like the black/chrome look. Anyone had luck just spraying over chrome or should I prep it? Before (notice the brown spots near the inside of the rim, its like rust or brake dust thats corroded the chrome. After PS Castile Soap + Steel Wool or Kerosene + Steel Wool yields excellent results!

I almost uploaded pics of my engine bay because of your username, but I realized you were after an EA81 not an 86 EA82 :/ best of luck, hopefully someone can get your pics up.

I cleaned the Cal Masters on my car in hopes to get them sold soon Also, been looking on other forums since I found out my youtube video of my exhaust was "as seen on...." and checked out the forum it was posted on, turns out, the poster of that thread found my car elsewhere. Guess Ned is one popular little rig!

The lady wants 900 for it. 1990 Loyale. 5 Speed. 165k miles. Im thinking of offering 500-600 and see if she will take it because thats what the budget is (luckily I am cheap labor )

Sweet This should be a good purchase then. I am curious to see the printout she received. I wonder if she went in for this problem, they couldnt get the symptoms to happen, but found out it needs a water pump or something? Dont want my repairs to out do the value of the car lol. I check it out Saturday, so hopefully I bring it home and let you guys know

I have been searching around for a car for my dad for awhile. Finally found one that I think he will like, and was discussing with the owner the issues it has to negotiate a price and get it home for working on She was given a $500 quote from a Subaru dealership on a replacement water pump (parts and labor) So I asked for the symptoms, fearing that it was more a headgasket issue that was being hidden by a "oh replace the waterpump and youll be fine" kinda disaster. She says "when in first gear, accelerating, its really slow and chuggy, and when you're stopped at a light, you have to give it extra gas or it will die" Im thinking fuel pump, fuel filters, timing and tune-up... Not water pump. Am I wrong? Could the water pump cause an issue like this? Im thinking water pump means overheating, not "chugging"
