I did the same, I think it's safer than putting washers on the studs (between the spindle and the wheel), which I heard of people doing.

HAH HAH Brad, you kidder you. If everyone notices, This thread is a year old, kinda like all the threads he bumped...hmm what day is today........

In both of my subarus, the prior owners have rigged push button starts on them. I think it's cool. I know that they had the button goto the black part on the starter (a little blade connector) then to the button. I don't know if it is a ground or a positive wire. I guess what I am trying to say is that if it is a open ground and the button closes the loop. I can look tomorrow.

Yeah, Subaru has a plant in Indiana, they're building the B9s and Legacies there... but the B9 kinda flopped (what a suprise)...Now that they are partnered with Toyota (more like Toyota owns 8.7%ish of Subaru) they are going to build Camrys there too. Smart on Subaru's part.

This happened to a me with a friend's car. ON THE TRANSMISSION! Good thing we were planning on taking it out anways...it was awkward dropping the tranny with the axle still attached. What I did was heat the hole up with an oxy/acetylene torch and drove a 3/16 pin through it...that's because the roll pin was put in backwards (where the splines don't line up). I knew that the pin would heat up and melt way faster than any of the metal that belongs there.

My connectors on my 87 gl-10 turbo wagon are in front of the ECu and my 89 RX is in the back. They are the male and female connectors that are green. The green ones are two poles and the black one is single pole.

Timing belts are easy. Check this out:Timing Belt Procedure EA82 A Step by Step on how to change your timing belts. You might as well change the cam seals, water pump, and oil pump (or reseal the oil pump). It sounds like a lot, but it's not. You have to take the timing belts off to replace them, so before you put new ones on you just put the new water pump in it. It's worth it to learn about your car by working on it, AND FUN TOO! I bought this $50 tool set at Wal-Mart, it's a "Allied" Brand Basic set, with box wrenches, 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" sockets with ratchets. With that tool set and a basic screw driver set, you can dismantle the whole engine. (The crank bolt IS a 22mm but a 7/8" socket works too...I recommend the 22mm but my tool set didn't have one.

THERE! It wouldn't let me editmy last post!

It could be a vacuum leak with the brake boost cylinder or a crappy electrical connection with your brake lights that causes too much of a draw on your alternator. (I've had the second one happen) P.S. A year and model will help a lot. -Justin

<TANGENT> So, what about those headstuds...what's gunna be special about them? <END TANGENT>

I've been running Accel in all my Subarus. (The three I've had.) One was an '83 GL, '87 GL-10 Turbo, and my '89 RX. There is an old thread discussing the reason why Accel now sucks...something about them ouotsourcing the manufacturing to Mexico. And that Napa has a coil that is the same as the old Accel...maybe try searching, if you are interested. I give Accel two thumbs up.

Will the INNER FRONT boots work as both Rear boots on my 1989 RX?

Damn, If wasn't on Duty at the Fire Dept. I'd be up there in 2.5!!

If I lived in an area where they salted roads (Thank God I don't.), I'd make an underbody car sprayer that I would drive over everytime I parked in the driveway. Oh yeah, and if the car was worth it. -Justin.

Your seat should come up...if it's a wagon, is it?

I race to the posted speed limit!

Turbo? Did you get your crossover pipe too hot? If it's a turbo, it could mean your cat is clogged. I think I spy a downpipe in the pic. Oh did you blow an exhaust gasket?

Only the 4 lug subaru wheels will fit your GL. The older subaru 4 lugs are 4 x 140mm which is an odd size. As for other vehicle's rims...only a vertain type of Puegeots wheels fit.

Hello. That strap for the rear seat is in the center. It may be tucked under the seat so you might have to dig your hand around between the seats.

I don't believe I accused you of anything. I just read your post and took it as an insult aimed towards him.

Dude, he's new, we've all been there, whether it was asking people in person or online. Cut him some slack. NO hill holder. It sounds like you need to do a brake job (at least the fronts). You'll need to get the brake pads (New) and either new rotors, or see if the old ones can be turned (machined flat) at a parts store.

I've heard that each car company has a different type of pop rivet they use to put the vin plates on. But that could be hear say

Yeah, that's why he swapped it. Did you have any problems going from carter-weber to Hitachi?

can't do much of a wheeling with FWD but put it in 4lo and

Hello my friend swapped his carter-weber for a Hitachi. Now in 3rd and 4th gears it will start stumbling around 2k RPM. He's timed it and checked for vacuum leaks over a dozen times.(8*btdc with disty vac advance disconnected). I'm thinking maybe the distributor needs to be swapped too? This was a 1982 Brat with the Carter and we put a Hitachi, from a 1983 GL Wagon, on. Any ideas on what's wrong? He replaced the fuel filters in November.
