  1. So after working on my car a little I took it for a spin and the temperature gauge went all the way down to cool, I noticed an exaust leak, and my radiator fan won't turn on. This all happend at once, when I hit a bump, are they related? where is the sensor for the gauge?
  2. I gitty about this new place I found, I'll have to post pictures/video of it my friend with a wrx and I found it, open sandy area with nice defined dirt roads with several big "plateau" areas just high enough to give the soob some climbing chances
  3. in my 87 hatch I had a fade: blue, white, yellow, red
  4. ok, I heard that a winch shouldn't be rated at more than half of what your winching, so a 2000lb car should have a 1000lb winch, does this just not matter? (could you essentially lift your car up a tree with a 8000lb winch?)
  5. So I'll replace the accelerator pump but where can I buy one?
  6. I'd worry about the frrame strength after cutting the back of the wagon off, but some tubes welded in would fix that right up
  7. I was wondering what the special privilages are that it mentions
  8. man, we need more places, in florida, to drive on the beach
  9. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=982735 all subes welcome
  10. I'm looking to get a winch too, and i do have the bumper I need to find one with two bolts 38mm center to center, this one might work http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4627421781&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT and it's cheap
  11. nice!! mine looks a little different, my bolt is farther back, where the word "length" is
  12. on most vehicles it's an aerodynamics piece, to push the air around the tires since they are very un-aerodynamic, Subaru might have done it for aesthetics (althought that never seemed to matter to them anywhere else )
  13. so is this a problem only I have? or was there another fix that I didnt know about
  14. yeah, if you could post a picture of where the two hoses go, that'll be great how important is it? should I not drive without it hooked up?
  15. I believe my PM was before your reply sorry post something in the wanted forum though
  16. good looking brat! wanna sell your wheels before you sell the car?
  17. you've come to the right place, unfortunatly I don't have any of the pats listed but alot will, I'm curious about the historical signifigance of the vehicle
  18. Skip, the car does seem to run fine, except for the hesitation when given fast throttle (maybe the fuel pump should be a pusher) the valve I was asking about is inside the air filter, this one I don't know where the two vacume hoses go to from the bottom, they may not have been hooked up before hand here's the new filter on
  19. Well my '79 had the plauging loose shifter, *deep breath* so I went through the shifter down to the transmission and diagnosed it to the screw in the shaft coming from the transmission connecting to the shifter through the bracket so the screw wears at the non-threaded section in the shaft, so the solution would be to find somthing to fill the hole through the shaft better, a larger diameter screw, the stock screw is a 6mm metric screw, so I bought a 7mm at the same length, only problem is the hole is still for a 6mm screw, so I used the 7mm screw to tap through the bracket and shaft, about half way through the shaft SNAP, the screw broke, so, it worked but I'll never get the screw out! oh well so now the shifter only moves with the shaft from the transmission, while in gear the shifter only moves about 1 inch (25mm) instead of 4+ inches (10cm)
  20. are the dash pads on ebay decent? the carpet ones right?
  21. well I fitted the filter/airbox to the carb, looks great, can't wait till fire it up, if only I knew what those two hoses were for If anyone else wants to fit this filter I can do a write-up
