Just out of curiosity, do you know how many miles are on that tranny?

EGR Solenoid. Might still be functioning...but not quite properly. Would throw that code. I've had that code for about a year now. Disconnected the CEL. until I come across a cheap solenoid. Nice looking wagon, by the by.

Happy Easter from Jersey where Subarus are...uhm...rusty. And old people's cars. And Rusty.

Yeah, sounds awesome and looks great too, not to nit-pick, but that driver's side pipe hangs almost dangerously low. Especially if you take it off pavement...would get them to take care of that. Wish I could afford a new exhaust :-\ lol

Here's the one behind the wheel of the van: Behind the wheel of the '70 Nova: Behind the wheel of the Loyale: And behind the wheel of the GL. Literally. Upon arrival at Burning Man. (Notice the ODOMETER!): And a picture of the one with the lady. Now somebody buy my damn GL. lol

I gots me that steering wheel as well

Haha, I had seen these a while back. Posted it in the old rally thread. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=130395&page=2

Damn, that thing is *clean*. Tastefully lowered.

And there couldn't be much better of a classic rock band to have as your platform than Zeppelin. Diggin' it!

I meant this thread itself lmao.

You are a gentleman, and a scholar. Thank you for supplying me with that link. Reading through it now. Very very helpful! After a quick read through, that guide is absolutely on point. It's awesome. Thanks again.

And it's BACK from the grave.

Been doing a bit of searching on the topic, all I've come across so far is the most excellent PDF write-up for converting an EA81 to SPFI, and a couple of threads for people wanting to go from SPFI on their 82's to Carb (?). Thing is, I've got Margaret (87 GL) up for sale in the classifieds. She doesn't seem to be garnering too much interest, and she does have a pretty straight body, so I've been thinking that perhaps this summer it is time to retire Ben (93 Loyale) instead. He is pretty beat up. Margie only has 57,000 miles on the clock. Ben - 83k. If Ben is to go, he is going minus his engine and transmission. Also if Ben is to go, I would like to donate his SPFI to the GL. From what I've read and what I know, there are a few factors here; I'll need from Ben his; -Wiring harness -distributor -fuel lines -ecu -? So what I'm wondering about is whether there's a write-up somewhere that somebody knows about covering such a topic that I haven't been able to dig up thus far. And does it seem like it's worth doing... Two off topic random thoughts though: On the GL the anti-backfire canister (Pass. side mount by vac. can.) has an open bottom. The car runs terribly *unless* I seal up that bottom of the can. (Have had a plastic bag rubber-banded around the bottom of it to seal it) When it's sealed, car runs fine. AND Will 2wd rear shocks swap into the 4wd car? Got some thinking to do about all of this. I really hate to lose Ben, but he's very mangled... And I'd very much like to sell Margie, but he doesn't seem to be drawing much, so. It is what it is.

Yes, sir! It's right by Duncansville. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&sugexp=frgbld&gs_nf=1&cp=9&gs_id=1f&xhr=t&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1024&bih=636&q=hollidaysburg&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x89cb969807dc29f9:0xf17defcc7f7d2ac0,Hollidaysburg,+PA&gl=us&ei=KjV6T5--CMT30gGf9Zy_DQ&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=2&sqi=2&ved=0CC4Q8gEwAQ

There's a place in Holidaysburgh that has an RX, one Loyale sedan and about four wagons out there. I've never had any luck finding anything anywhere else however in our tri-state region. H-burgh is a bit of a drive. 6 hours from me.

Yeah, if you take a look at your auto seat belts, there's an allen screw on it in case they stop working. Subaru engineers. Thought of it all. lol

Found some really interesting promo videos subaru had done in the 80's for the Aussie crowd. Here's a link to the search on youtube. Top two videos in the search. Four wheel driving with Subaru 1980'2 parts 1 and 2. At the end of part 2 they actually bring out a Toyota Tercel 4WD to compete with the scoob and it's pretty entertaining. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=4wding+with+Subaru+1980%27s+-+part&oq=4wding+with+Subaru+1980%27s+-+part&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_l=youtube-reduced.12...738822l738822l0l853108l1l1l0l0l0l0l160l160l0j1l1l0.

Glad to hear you finally got it running! Persistence is key!

On the oil pump end, the wire is connected to the green part of the oil pump pictured here: And in the car the oil pump is located as seen pictured here: Above you can see there are two connection points on the oil pump. The one on the green part is for an oil pressure gauge (Think that's what you need to look at) The one above and to the left of that is for a dummy light.

Sounds like there's no codes for it to throw. Good to hear that the pump is still functioning. I'm not exactly sure myself where all the relays are for everything; saw somebody stated before that there are relays behind the fuses in the fuse-panel. There are also fusible links under the hood. Just touting info here, dunno if it is helpful or not. If you would like to PM me your email address, I can also send you the factory service manual for the car. Somebody will chime in here shortly with exactly where you have to look for the relays.

And really do be wary of any backfiring. The safest way to do it would be to spray the starter fluid up in the hose as much as possible, and then close up the air-box again quickly so the magic liquid doesn't evaporate. I've had fireballs shoot out of the intake because of starter fluid and a back-fire lol

Would def. bleed the brakes. E-brake is tighter because of the bigger pads in the front now. If you want to you can adjust the cable at the handle (I believe; somebody should correct me if I'm wrong) to have a bit more slack; give you some more clicks . From what I've heard and experienced with these vehicles, the brakes always feel a *little* bit mushy. You get used to it. As far as the caliper hitting the wheel, that's real strange. Try swapping a different wheel on there maybe, if it's still rubbing. If it's really barely barely rubbing, I'd personally just let it grind itself away a bit. *shrugs* that's me though.

What are you lined up with there? A mustang and....the middle car looks like.....infiniti? Honda?
