Here's a whole FSM for an 83. Should be close enough. http://jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/--Old%20Models--/

Anything can be done with enough time and determination. Did the front end damage mess up the "square-ness" of the car? Do the doors still open easily?

The clacking, TOD (tick of death) is what drove me to buy an outback. Granted, I bought the outback with the first gen DOHC and had head gaskets problems. I owned a RX and a GL-10 Turbo Wagon. I tried everything under the sun to relieve the TOD. I rebuilt the lifters, new oil pump, new seals, every oil from 0-30w to straight 30w, a quart of ATF in the oil, sea foam, other "sticky lifter" products and none of them worked. (I tried every remedy at different times, never two at once). The only thing that caused a pause in lifter noise was me being willing to write the engine off and tach it out to 10+grand RPMS for 3-5 seconds at a time, that would last about 50 miles. I did have luck with the stuff called CD-2, in my Outback. I just got done reading your thread about trying to get power out of an EA82t. I had 2.25" inch turbo back exhaust, Intercooler, intake, and a dual core radiator and still had problems. One of the first post I ever read here was from WJM. It went something like this "Cheap, Reliable, Fast. Pick two." Another words. Cheap and Fast isn't going to be Reliable. Reliable and Fast isn't going to be Cheap. Cheap and Reliable isn't going to be fast. Don't get discouraged. Do what you want. It's a good learning experience, if nothing else.

Just an FYI this is a 3 year old posting.

If you have firefox, there's a plugin called "Down-Them-All", it allows you to download every single (insert file extension here) in 2 or 3 clicks. That's how I downloaded all the PDFs. By the way, there's TONS of FSMs too. http://jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/

How about this? http://jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/--Articles--/--Endwrench--/

I actually found endwrench articles. http://jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/--Articles--/--Endwrench--/

Where would I post this link? http://jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/

Well, I haven't seen any in any piles I've come acrossed. HAH hah. Thanks for the answers though.

Will 2011 subaru legacy wheels fit on a 2011 forester. I'm thinking so, but don't want to find out the hard way. Thanks.

I thought I was subscribed to this. Yes. Still around.

Hello, I was wondering if a 2008 2.5 NA engine will be compatible with a 2006 RS? Thanks.

My friend's 2006 2.5rs threw a rod, according to the mechanic shop. He's up at Fairchild AFB and I'm in Eugene Oregon, I haven't been able to confirm it. But would it be cheaper to rebuild the engine or just get an engine and drop it in (after changing all consumables)? Not sure why it threw a rod...it's an automatic that isn't railed on. It's his wife's car. And does anyone have any good places to pick up an engine? Thanks.

Yes, able to ship. I haven't been in my shop for awhile, as I'm partnering with another iron work company. But I can get some quotes.

Yes, still available. PM for further information. Sorry, I've been put out for a while, involved in a head on. But I'm ready to rock!

Here's TRUE2BLU's Ride....

I haven't had any complaints of the bumper interfering with the exhaust, but a notch could easily be put in place.

The tire holder is too much of hassle. The bumper should still work for the brat.

That's right. This bumper without the spare tire holder for $150. EA81 and EA82 Wagons Only.D-rings and hitch included. Shipping not included. And this bumper is $150 too... Call this Head Trauma, inc's version of a stimulus package. I want to get my product out there. We could make arrangements for pickup at WCSS. Half paid on order and half payment upon shipping is doable. Private message orders to me.

No, I think it's the stock cat section keeping it from being raspy. My friend has raspiness with his RS, with a "hi flow" cat section. My other friend with a 1991 legacy with an EJ22 in it sounds raspy...has no cat. So, it's either the fact that DOHC has something to do with not being raspy (I have DOHC, they have SOHC) or the stock cat section. In fact, my friend with the RS is jealous because he paid over $500 for his stainless 2.25 exhaust and I paid no more than $200 and it's not raspy and sounds deeper.

Not sure if you're still on the subject of headers...I put this on my outback. I had just 2.25" Cat back with just a resonator in the middle and no muffler. It sounded pretty good, once I put that header on...holy crap...way deeper and has that Subie rumble. It's not loud at all, surprisingly...with the 5 gallon bucket of a muffler removed. But, I left the stock cat section in, my friend has the same setup on his RS but with a high flow cat...it makes it very very raspy. Also, I have an EJ18 block sitting in my garage, dual port, and the header fit on it just fine. The block is from a 1993 Imp. Those headers are pretty good quality for the price. Even came with header gaskets and header to cat section gaskets and new bolts. Just be careful if you header wrap it, like I did because the header was 3/4 too narrow (might have been from shipping) and I wrapped all three of the pipes (where the passenger side comes next to the 2 driver's header pipes) and it didn't let me spread it. Undid the wrap, worked just fine.

yes, located in Oregon.

Yes, light tabs and brush guard are possible. We can customize anything we sell or do a complete custom order. I can't find our EA81 pics of the bumper. But the front one looks just like the EA82's.

Also, we can do half down then another half once it's ready to ship. For any USMB member.
