Very nice car. As for lowered subarus...I'll refer this to subaru_styles (Brad). As for "Subie street racers" the only racing you're gunna be doing is how many football fields does it take to get going the speed limit. The newer gen subarus are fast(er) but not these. What people do, who like the EA82/EA81 body style is an engine swap. They put a new gen engine into the older gen body style. As for your car...very nice. That thing is pristine.

Hello Hotdog! I'm north of you in Eugene. As for that auto you have...make sure the fluid is good and well maintaned. These autos are the weakest part of Subaru, but keep it maintaned and you'll be golden. What some people end up doing with an auto is swapping it out with a manual tranny. It's fairly easy, direct bolt on, and even I can do it. you just need to know what to get. Which, I've done two...so I have a fairly good idea. Oh yeah, I know of 4 or so board members that live in medford or the surronding areas.

Why do I feel offended?

Try pulling the coil/fuel pump fuse and crank it for a while...it'll clear the gas out. As for cylinders 1 and 4? is it 1 and 4 like this 3[---]4 1[---]2 Front of car

LUCKY! I saw that engine on ebay...i was like WTF... I think it's crazy how the header connects in the front too.

I wire wheel mine...no problems...unless your wire wheel spins hella fast and acts more like a saw blade. Oh yeah, Brad, I remember that time when you were removing the gasket off of your wagon's oil pan...I thought you liked the wires shooting off into your bare leg? Justin.

Hello everyone. I was just thinking of a way to give back to the USMB. I thought of a couple. If you are around eugene/springfield area and need mild to moderate mechanical help, I'm willing to help. If you need some minor welding or metal fab, I can do that too. Nothing major...like custom bumpers or lifts. (that'd have to cost ya). But yeah, if you need help, PM me.

Center differential is the only difference, I believe. Oh,....and it's FULL TIME all wheel drive. As for parts, I think the only thing you might need is the driveshaft. Man I wish i was confident with my answers...I'm new to the AWD business.(I bought a RX two weeks ago)

What I do is make sure it is secured to the back of the speedometer and then I just pull the end out of the sleeve and stick it in the slot in the tranny and then pull the sleeve over it and screw it on. Always worked for me. Might wanna put some oil or lube in it since you have it out. How's that for run on sentences? Justin

A rod knock could be a major thing...it depends on how much he wants for it . EA81 engine blocks aren't hard to come by. If I were you, I'd ask him to start it up...and then i'd remove a plug wire from the top of the distributor cap (with insulated pliars and make sure that you aren't grounding yourself to the car) and if the knock goes away, it is rod knock, if it doesn't...it's probably something simpler (Make sure you put the wire back in before removing the next). Where in Oregon are you?

No bubbles in coolant and no water in the oil. About the oil in cylinder...I forgot to try that.

Hey all. My wagon (1987 Gl-10 Turbo), is being stupid. I pulled each plug wire, one at a time, while it was running...(and this time I didn't get shocked!) The only wire that didn't affect the idle was the thrid cylinder wire. So I let it cool down and checked the plug...it was on the black-ish side, compared to the other 3. Then I did a compression check on it...there is only 45PSI on the #3 cylinder...and the rest of the cylinders are 110-120... I am not blowing smoke or steam out the exhaust and there is no oil in the water or vice-versa. But I do lose coolant. What could the problem be?? Is it because of the turbo being sooo close to the 3rd cylinder? Thanks, Justin.

why are headstuds so expensive, what's so special about a heat treated high grade piece of All-Thread?

Lol I broke 1 the other day...good thing I have about 3/8" sticking out.

So...I have my engine for my RX torn apart and I'm in the cleaning stage now. There was a lot of water in the oil and I was wondering what do I do about it. I have the oil pan off and I'm letting it drip out over night. Somone told me that I might have to get the block dipped in solvent because the water won't truly leave. But then I start thinking of all the Toyotas and other cars that I have done a headgasket job on (that had water in the oil), and I just replaced the oil and called it good. So I'm thinking of not worrying about it too much...what do you guys do? Thanks, Justin.

Thanks Will. By the sound of it, with your new RX project, it doesn't sound like you have much time.

Nice LMAO!!!

Hello all. I was wondering if there is a difference in the front harness between years of EJs. I don't mean Ej22 is different than ej25...i mean did they change the harness in the years within the EJ22? I'm talking about the front harness that is required for conversion/transplant into an EA series. Thanks all for your time. Justin.

yeah the swap is easy cheese. No welding or cutting. You just need all the parts

Oh, believe me when I say, there isn't any carbon on those cylinder walls.

Hello all. I have a 1987 Gl-10 Turbo, with a D/R. It seems like it is miss firing. I let it warm up and when it gets to operating temp and I pull the #3 plug wire, the idle doesn't change. All the other cylinders make a difference if I pull the corresponding plug wire. I also pulled the injector wire off the 3rd cylinder and it does change the idle a little, but I notice a big difference when I am driving without the 3rd injector. I haven't done a compression check, there isn't gas in the oil or water in the oil (or vice-versa). I said that because it is the infamous 3rd cylinder on a turbo...the one that tends to burn up first. Thanks for you time, Justin.

Yeah we paid $20 for ours, he paid $6!!! (I have one too). I'd say that's a nice find.

OH ok. What about a 4at? oh yeah I comp checked the cylinders 1 is 85, 2 is 93, 3 is 30, and 4 is 120. So I think I see a problem. I am hoping it's not a burnt piston..

This smoke is coming out of the exhaust I didn't think there was a way for ATF to get into the exhaust unless it went the long way, as in through a crack in the radiator, that goes into the coolant line,then breaches into the cylinder. There is water in the oil. I'll do a compression check on the cylinders...what numbers should i get?
