So, I figure this could be an ongoing forum posting for those that need it.. But right now I need to know. Been searching C-List for tires. Right now my Subaru (1984 Subaru DL Sedan) has these: 155/80/R13 79T So that means 155mm, 13in wheel and an 80 profile tire. IS THIS STOCK? Ive heard 175/80/R13 was stock...

I will stay with same size. I want to get 175s or 185s since its got 155s on it now.

Its a maroon one. Lifted. Kinda dirty looking... Ive seen him pull into the Westview parking lot and saw him going down 185th in Beaverton Oregon. It had a WCSS sticker in the back left window, but of course my light was red long enough that he got away, anyone know him?

$150 is pretty steep right now. First order of business is the alternator $90 for a reman - $20 when I bring my old one back in. Then probably a new battery Then new tires (can I get mismatched ones since mines FWD?) Then will come power steering, new stereo, new speakers (I have these weird ones in the dash and thats ALL I see lol) etc. No lift plans or 4WD plans at the moment.

How much? Probably wont happen right this minute as I still owe my sister some money, but it will be done eventually, but what costs am I looking at?

Wheel bearings says Autozone when I rolled up today to check alternator and battery. Battery might not be shot, but the Alternator is

Vehicle is a 1984 Subaru DL sedan. Original EA81 engine. No mods. How difficult and costly would it be to put power steering on this? Is it possible, and what issues would ensue after going from size 155 tires to 185s?

I will take a video tomorrow... PO had seats reversed... Like COMPLETELY. Rails were even on the wrong seats Had to pull both seats out, switch the rails, and put the seats back... Wondering why I couldnt recline my seat... Cause they were JAMMED into the center console and you couldnt reach the reclining handle.. Bent the center console up too

Yes, I have a camera... which I will record a video about it. Not sure how to upload. But its me turning it on, and when its cold, I give it gas ( I know it has a flat spot) and it runs okay, but then if I take my foot off the gas, it shutters for a few seconds and dies. I can also record a video of the squeaking it makes when Im driving from the front right wheel.

175s would still be wider than the 155s that are on there now. Any ideas on my startup issue? Seems to happen when cold... Any ideas too on if I can put Power Steering on this?

Wow fail nevermind. Thought I'd hit something on the headlight knob, but hit it on the turn signal and turned em on

Idk what I did but now says highbeams are on... How do they turn off??

Update for today (so far) -Just washed it... white pretty much washed off... not all the way, but rag kept swiping across white and the water was a mucky gray when it came off? -Sister wanted to drive it... Parked at an angle facing the street (front end lower than back end) it started, but didnt stay running once gas pedal was depressed. Carb issue? -No update on Tach as of 3:25pm here (Oregon) since its sitting in the sun to dry, then I will pull it in the driveway and get to work on that Tach Questions: What size tire can I go up to? Theyre 13s, but Ive got 155s on there, it feels like a bicycle lol. Maybe 185? 195? Can I put power steering on this? I like the arm workout... but well, its a pain.

We will find out tomorrow then Now, time for bed, 219am here and I have class at 8am and homework isnt done. Stay tuned for Marshall ripping apart the dash cluster and washing his new car

How do I pull that plastic (just for referring to this tomorrow when Im pulling it apart, I dont mess anything up) This car will probably be at WCSS13 looking very clean, so screwing stuff up isnt really an option for me... Which is why I hammer the experts as yourself for your advice

I shall how hard will it be to get to that part of the instrument cluster?

Its wired in... So I shouldnt have to mess with that right? It moves up and down, but today I drove up (first time bringing home) and I let the neighborhood know I was there, probably 4500-5000 rpms and it showed me at 11 (X1000) rpms and I was like, yea, no.

Picture isnt showing up for me? any idea where I can see it?

Im sure that sounds 10x worse as it actually is haha. Will probably attempt this tomorrow.

Summit They guy said there was a button that you pushed for 4, 6, and 8 cylinders, but apparently made no sense to him... I just wanna know how to pull it off and adjust it so it is right lol. I dont NEED it lol, I shift by noise lol.

Gonna fix mechanical first... PO said it needed an axle, GD said he had one, so hope he still does. Want tach to be accurate, any ideas? Backup light bulb was there, just wasnt installed, so I did that, you know, the first thing you replace thats simple but makes you feel like you accomplished alot, yea, that was it

Right now theres other issues to deal with. Right axle kinda squeals? (GD do you still have one available?) Windshield crack Speakers are TOAST Tach is hooked up but not accurate Door panel off cuz driver window doesnt stay up Back up light was out, but I FIXED THAT Front bumper damage Otherwise pretty clean (well dirty, hasnt been bathed yet) Will have more pics up from my house (previous are the PO's house) when she is clean.

THAT IS THE BEST RIGHT? I love bringing home a new Subaru, cleaning out the interior, giving it a bath and a wax and then... it feels new again, and I feel very accomplished... Could be the little kid in me at 18 still, but hey, to me, theres no better feeling

Well, I do like speed, but my sisters boyfriend has a 1993 Nissan 240sx with 325hp for drifting and his latest addition: 2011 Subaru WRX STI So I can be dumb on the track with those, so having a neat, tidy car is good How hard is it to replace the windshield? This one has a crack in it, across the entire windshield, hard to see, but of course Im examining the pictures full 4000X3000 size lol

Sweet Thank you Rick!
