    Just out of curiosity, what exactly type of differences would you expect/feel between those different clutches? I mean..it's not like the ea82 has enough power to make a fully engaged clutch of any type slip...is it longevity?

    Because you like sedans so much ;Got my new CV axle in today. Found out my brake caliper is shot. Ordered one that I'll be throwing in tomorrow. Before I installed the axle I took the boots off and packed some extra grease in there. Reinstalled the boots with clamps. So far so good! My old axle was completely shot, to the point where I had to pull away from red lights with a feather weight of pedal to avoid any clicking. Unavoidable clicking making a slight left turn. HORRIBLE clicking at full lock; yeah, it was about to go. It's so nice to be able to mash the gash again! Going up hills, making a turn across an intersection. So great. So tomorrow the caliper goes in. Hopefully the stuck brake didn't toast my grease as after a test drive the whole hub was water sizzling hot =\

    http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/138331-87-gl-wagon-4x4-100-rust-free/ Saw that you were looking at late 80's Suzukis and the like and thought I'd throw out a bone for the old gen subarus. In 5 speed form you get dual range 4 wheel drive with high and low. For when you're on the highway you get to throw it in front wheel drive and, with sensible driving, can attain 30 - 35ish mpg on the highway.

    Finally ordered a front axle. Updates tomorrow.

    Did you drive it around much after the reseal? Took a bit of ..."exercise"...after my various re-seals for the tick to stop. Funny yours stopped after sitting! My cars tend to do the opposite =P

    Yeah, you asked for what we think it's worth, not an argument about why we think that's what it's worth. It's a nice wagon. Being rust free helps. I'd pay $3,000 tops. And that's being real generous. I bought a 93 3 speed FWD loyale with 52,000 miles on it 4 years ago for $1,000 flat. It was immaculate. I bought an 87 GL with 46,000 miles on it 3 years ago for $1,200. It was a little rusty but had the 5 speed dual range 4wd. Your car isn't worth as much as you are hoping. You've actually put more money in to it than it was worth; don't expect to get it back. This is something that happens to all of us by the way lol

    Sorry for your loss. 380,000 miles huh? Wow. Find yourself another one!

    If you're getting a whole replacement strut (not just the shock absorber) and it is complete (springs and shock installed already) you just need a way to pop out the balljoint. Might wanna throw new ball joints in there while you're at it anyway. I used pickle forks last time I did this. Tie rod should be removed too, but you can just smack the side of it with a hammer after loosening the bolt and it'll snap out of place.

    Eh, is the tick bad? Constant? I mean, you can put it off for a bit. I drove with TOD for about 5 months before finally putting a new pump on there and enjoying the peace and quiet again. I mean if it's too much trouble though...I could take a drive out there and rid you of the pest. =P (I'll stop bugging you like that now. I just wanted to throw one more in there lol)

    If you tighten the nut and it loosens again, it could be the washer. If you put a new washer and it loosens on you again, your whole hub is probably messed up. I had the exact same problem with my GL. I replaced the whole hub with a junkyard one and haven't had a problem since.
  12. l75eya
    That's awesome lol!
  13. l75eya
    would love to see a picture of that lol

    What flowmaster said, especially for a part that never gets use. Also, what was the MSRP for these cars when they came out? I mean these cars were built cheap. Especially the Loyales. I just went through the exact same thing, except I started at the driver's side door and made my way counter-clockwise. Night and day difference in the window. Put your own switch on there.

    There's a club in the west called the Subaru Alliance. Maybe we can get permission to have a Subaru Alliance East Coast chapter.

    quad headlight setup from a DL!!!!!!

    Clutch cable and bracket was in my way. Heater hoses were in my way. Two other stiff lines from the firewall were in my way. Spare tire rack was in my way (that was easy to move though of course). Wire harness was in my way. Rubber boots on the ground and positive leads to the starter were a pain to work off. One of the more annoying things I've done to my car tbh.
  18. l75eya
    New starter in the GL. Old one had been going for awhile. Was much more of a pain to get out than I anticipated. Took awhile for 2 bolts. Ugh.
  19. l75eya
    Lubricated the power window rails + motor + gears on the Loyale. WOW. What a difference. They're like new! Incredible! Don't know why I waited so long to finally take care of that one..

    Holy hell big air filter!
  21. l75eya
    Yay! Another east coast subaruholic. I'm 10 miles away from Brooklyn! If that! Let me know if you need any help with anything when you get here.

    In the auto I did. it was real close to redline @ 100. The 5 speed still had gear left. I was probably around 5800 rpms at 105, that's a guess though. I know for a fact it had some gear left though, it wasn't close to redlining yet.
  23. l75eya
    Not normal. If we're talking about an ea car. 95 with a 5 speed DR should be about 4800 rpms. I know for a fact that 95 in a 3 speed auto is 6,000 rpms. 100 is redline. I hit 105 in the 5 speed and there was still a bit of gear left. No engine. Just gear.
  24. l75eya
    My 87 has 1 bolt. Was just busting your balls fox =P
