  1. I have the platinum. cost me $20 at a pawnshop MINT. suckers. I love anime. Subarus and anime. dang good combo.:banana:
  2. also, these cars sound good with cheap ricer pipes, the natural pulse caused by the split banks break up the ricey sound and you get a nice deep toned rumble. My TOPSPEED PRO1 $50 can sounds freakin sweet. stay away from "turbo" mufflers. that tends to just be a restriction, thus eliminating most gains you get. Get a straight through glasspak or can.
  3. I had 2 bigger tires on the front, and on a slick surface, it was squirly as hell. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE
  4. Replace the timing belts, the teeth stripped off the driver side belt. also, replace the tensioners and idlers. They failed and cooked my 20k mile old driver side timing belt. This is a pretty good kit. Got to my house in 3 days priority mail http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/85-94-SUBARU-LOYALE-1800-GL-RX-XT-TIMING-BELT-KIT-EA82_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem518f21b182QQitemZ350293700994QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
  5. Like GD said, Do both. AND GET THE HEADS MACHINED or you risk blowing the new gaskets in the event that the head is warped. Also, Mine has a blown gasket, I wouldn't advise it for long, but you can plug the overflow line from the radiator. The overheating (at least on my car) only occurs when I lose water. The coolant bottle on my car assploded, so I plugged the hose, now she only loses about a pint of water per 100 miles. Income tax cannot seem to come quick enough.
  6. where mine sticks out, I wrapped it in black electrical tape so you can't see the metal.
  7. spray paint. -$15 Stencil materials -$5 Roof Rack- FREE Wheels and tires - $50 (used) Self created "urban assault vehicle" - Priceless!
  8. aluminum contracts much more than steel. Might just be creating a tight tolerance between the shaft and bore. Maybe, just a thought. Yeah only use a light oil or silicone spray. Heavy lube will attract crap which will cause more wear than if you hadn't oiled it at all.
  9. Replaced another dad gum driver CV axle. It was clicking before the height adjustment, then POP goes the weasel. One yank from a parts cow later, viola! I am really considering a pair of remans from Oreilly just for the lifetime warranty
  10. 25hp 27lb/ft In ANY legacy 90-94. thats enough for me
  11. ej18 * Horsepower: 110 PS (81 kW; 108 bhp) @ 6000 rpm * Torque: 149.1 N·m (110 lb·ft) @ 3200 rpm ej22 * Horsepower: 135 PS (99 kW; 133 bhp) @ 5800 rpm * Torque: 186.3 N·m (137 lb·ft) @ 4800 rpm EJ22's run for 250+kmi
  12. NEVER blow compressed air through ANY filter (air, oil, etc), not even a K&N. It makes "holes" in the filter media where larger particles can get through. Defeats the purpose of a filter.
  13. freebie my friend's dad gave me. It'll work for now. I am gonna use some angle iron and make front and rear cross bars to make a surround/place to mount the lights to.
  14. You all should just get out of the snow and just move to texas and stop killing your cars. My car has ONE spot of rust, only because of damage to the inner fender well that left bare metal (before I got the car) Not another speck on the car. We never salt our roads. We got plenty of places to wheel here too
  15. you lucky bastards, I wish it would snow here, I would go play "hide the subaru" in plain sight.
  16. hankook makes a buttload of 185/70 13's even some in studded and winter tires (i*pike), find someone who can order you a set of kooks. they are good tires
  17. it should slide off. first get the cone washer out by tapping the hub with a hammer on the sides
  18. is that a tumor on your wagon? anyways, I slapped on some rodeo 16" redrills! I painted them all black last night in the dark so they at least match now and I am getting 2 new (smaller) tires for the fronts to match the rears on saturday
  19. Kennedy makes an adapter kit for ej to vw tranny, I would definitely use a 5 rib bus box to tame the torque. I was a type 1 guy but got tired of not having water in my flat-4. Mainly the lack of heat, and dead #3 cylinders (Texas heat kills the cylinder just below the oil cooler first)
  20. I launched dirty on a few cars that way. They can catch up once I get to third, but usually are discuraged at that point that they got stomped by a 88 bread box. :lol:
  21. Throttle body spacers are useless for ea engines. They suffer from fallout enough (puddling fuel in the throttle body), due to the tee intake design, and the pulse effect in the intake. the tornado is a gimmick. A $50 piece of stamped junk metal that "swirls" the intake charge. There was independent tests done on those proving that the "swirl" effect was eliminated as soon as turbulance was created anywhere in the intake. If you want to make more power from your car, just port/polish the heads, and then match the intake with a port of its own, port/polish the throttle body and add a small phenolic tb spacer to isolate it from the coolant passage. then get rid of the L boot and put a smoothed out intake pipe on the tb to the maf and use a cone filter. Hell eliminating the air box got me a few ponies according to the butt dyno. I just made an adapter to the maf, and used a spectre on mine.
  22. I added a Pint of MMO to the engine oil and the TOD went away!!!!!!!1! :lol::lol::grin::grin::lol::lol:
  23. my car began to make terrible noise last night on the way home from work. It just suddenly dropped oil pressure and began chattering. I guess this is what everyone refers to as Tick Of Death. I pulled over and checked the oil, only a half quart low. Guess I will be doing the turbo swap sooner rather than later.... I changed the oil as soon as I got home too, didn't help. 178k on the clock. I bought her with 162k for $780.
