you might want to try posting this message in the New Generation forum, that is where all the Legacy people hang out, http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=3

Here you go not sure if you have a dual range or not so I took pictures of both. If you go to my gallery you can get a larger fomat. If you want the full full sized ones give me your e-mail and I can send them to you. Good luck Gallery link http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=710

Thanks I didn't know there was an adjustment nut on there. Have to check that out next time I pull the dash. You are probably right graphite pouder would probably work better than oil or grease. THanks

did you make sure the tire place didn't forget to put it on. Sometimes it happens

Sorry man I've done it a couple times, one tooth off doesn't cut it. Better redo the T-belts. One tooth off my car ran but it got really hot on the highway and died at every stoplight. Good luck

eh what are you going to do it was a free suby! The previous owners son's friend hit it with his lifted pos. I figgure it is my anti theft device. Thief looking for something to steal, my car sitting next to a nice straight (insert any car here) theif thinks hmmmm that guy is probably dead poor I'll look in the straight car. I guess that is my way to rationalise not fixing it. besides it gives it charactor. And isn't that what soobs are all about. I preffer the term avocado, is that what the factory called it "harb" what is that? Bty I have yet to see another soob with this same color, throw some junk in yours, you know load it down, and post it. Just kidding.

Ok so we are showing off. Going off to college, the car was on a slight slope. Heaviest thing was probably my rolling tool box. Moving out of our old house, carrying, an ea-71 ea-82t and a 5 speed DR, trans, multiple 100's lbs of lead, (tore down an x-ray room) along with other stuff, Oh yea a really old bike. The diff was like 4inches off the ground. So com'on people how full have you got your suby?

I am not sure about their inspections. When I was over there my girlfriends family had a sambar that just came back from inspection. The family complained that it was running like crap and gave no heat. So I checked the thermostat and sure enough thermostat looked like it exploded. So I have lost a lot of respect for their inspection system. Maybe it was an isolated event. But when the inspection costs $1000 they should at least catch that. I have a theory that all of these JDM engines are really just junkyard american engines? Just my crazy theory. Not based on any facts whatsoever. I agree the Japanese repair market is a joke. If you need a part you have to go to the dealership. When I had to get the thermostat quess where I had to go. Yes for a freakin thermostat. In American I could buy a thermostat in a grocery store, well maybe not in a grocery store. end rant.

usually i just go off of the oil pan. Never tried on the head. How much force are we talken here? I don't think it would be a big deal.

well the junkyard yeilded another broken one I guess I am off to the dealership. Eh I guess I need to go there anyway I needed new shifter bushings anyways

not sure about 84 but my 81 with a hitachi the float was accessable if you took the carb top off I think 5 screws and you are in. You could also check the float level through a sight glass on the drivers side of the carb, it was under all the chanister and fuel lines. Good luck

Sorry the analog chart gives all temperature as a function of resistance NOT gauge position, you would have to give me a resistance then I could throw a temperature back at you. Ya I did the same thing you did add up the temperature and you get like 300 deg, dam that is HOT. I found another chart that might be of more help. Out of the same 87 fsm.

Was going to type all this out but figgured what the heck. I like the phase "somewhat overheating." Good luck Bty this data is out of an 87 fsm. I pretty sure that 87-89 all use the same digi dash I just check my fsm 88 and it was exactly the same

Looks like this: The valve inquestion is off an 86 T wagon. Tested mine and it failed. I believe it is the reason I am having poor hot idle and failing my smog test. If you bought one from autozone or if there is a place on the net that rebuilds them let me know. I can only guess that the dealership wants an arm and a leg for one of these. Heck they wanted $140 for a vaccum advance? Thanks

ya the previous own of one of my subi's didn't use antiseise, just go slow back and forth and it should come out. After you get the plug out remember antiseise after I started using that I have had nooooo problems with stuck plugs. Good luck

ya the rpm beeeeeeeep scared the bejesus out of me one time. My copilot (brother) thought it was the funnest thing.

Funny, I was just talking to some friends about it. The only part of the car where the clear coat is peeling off is the hood area. Little background. The car was parked for over 2 years with leaves and stuff landing on it. Mice chewed up the insilation at some time. Not sure if the hood peeled before or after the mice got to the insillation. I guess I am just saying that this MAY happen to your car if you take out the insilation. But like Qman said the hood scoop will probably help. I installed a hood scoop and tore out the rest of the insilation. Any advanced destruction of the clear coat was caused by a high pressure washer more than anything. notice insilation missing (chewed by mice) notice hood clear coat damage

glad to hear you got it back together. If you look at the mechanical fan the shaft has flats on four sides that you can get a cresent wrench on. I have been running my car without T belt covers for about 2 years. I blew one belt but the belt was of undeterminable age. When it did blow diagnosis and repair was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo easy. I guess it is a matter of personal preference. nude T belts or not nude?

Ya that is nice. 914's are cool! Nice video's. My jaw just dropped seeing the need for speed video. To me that is what a turbo motor is best at. Awsome!

Grill = looks better then the concept drawings of old. Makes reference to past but with todays styling I think they hit the nail on the head! Anyone else having trouble with the video?

nice find, You can really see where the designers where going with the concept art

Good old pumbers tape!

Yep Fast idle control. Join the club mine decided to eject itself from my intake manafold 500 miles from home. The car would run fine if I was cruising at zero vaccum. But idle or boost and foggedaboodit!! Found one at the junkyard but the o-ring was all crusty had to go find one at a hardware store.

Mine does a similar thing (it just gets really slow to respond around 70) I think you have the right idea. Just put a little grease or oil on the main bearing or bushing and you should be good to go. Since it is such a pain in the butt to take out the dash I would test it out with an electric drill before it is mounted back in the car. just to make sure it doesn't stick. Good luck

Dammmmm I agree one of the cleanest IC installs. And to top it off, its front mount!!
