ivans imports

thiss may sound silly i have herd of making a plastic key mould and puting in a plastic key to get a impretion of the teeth on the tumblers it had to be a certain plastic to work. There was a bunch of cars stolen by thiss method so if a car theif can do it it cant be that hard just a thought

have you treid a subaru dealer in japan if you gave them a vin they should be able to make a key and send it to you

most spark plug ishues i see is from the spark tracking down the side of plug instead of down the center of plug the less resistance in the plug the longer it will last ngk V power all the way i do not like the platnum or iridium plugs at all even when they are called for i do not use them and { IF IT DONT SAY NGK THROW IT AWAY ]

i built 3 engines thiss week a 2.51 2.5d and a 2.2 and sadly the 2.2 is the first to sell because it gos for cheaper with more reliability the other two have cars sitting waiting for motors. The glue dosent even have time to dry and they are gone. I have been trying to rebuild two engines a week ontop of my regular subaru repair work and endless line of headgasket jobs. Any rebuilt subaru motor is valubble up here anyway there is way more dead engines than good ones

i have a hoist with a fullsize trans jack its a bitt different working on it when its 6ft in the air. Did you take it apart and see what whent wrong ?

i have that exact car thats rolled but roof is ok even the same coulor was still to good to scrap

my vote is the 81 with gen 1 body but ea81 and high low trans and TBI

coged idler or water pump or loose crank bolt

well the canadian ski team drove mule deer up the hill beat that traction. Mule deer the offical vhecle of the canadian ski team !

i take a 8-1.25 die and clean the threads with that and be like new

i doubt its a feul preshure problem the injectors control the flow not the preshure might make it a little ritch but not that mutch.

on my 79 brat the rag joint was catching on the gard for it and had torn away at the rag joint was shreaded but was able to buy it new from subaru the threads from it were tangled up around the shaft

update the 03 test forester after 3 months of periumiun feul the 420 whent away came in for broken o2 wire but no more 420 the good gas fixed the problem but took at least 20000kms. And the scrap guys give me a 100$ each for used subaru catts the aftermarket ones they give me 5$. anyway have been beating up on peoples check engine lights all last week fixed two that had light on for 6 years or better one broken wire at rear by canister. And one broken wire above the gas tank having many problems with the emision wireing at rear of car.

that will help

man i wish i had acsess to a dyno

wow noisy motor valve addjustment the egr should stall the engine when you open it like that i still blame the transducer diafram it is trying but drops out

have fixed many svx trans and they never fail agian i change out the forward drum and clutchpack for the one from a 98 outback is larger and has better oil flow. and i overfill the front diff 1.8 L and increase the cooler return line port and ditch the trans preshure soliniod reistor that alows the tcu to modify preshure. And the lower gears putt less load on the trans and the higher stall gets the engine into its power range.

the one strait of the bottom gos to the stainless line

it gets better shops are stealing the factory subaru catts and replacing them with cheap chinese ones or none at all had 3 customers that had no idea there catts had been stolen. One they just riped out the o2 wireing and told them it whould be normal to have the check engine light on. Had a strait pipe and they had charged her hundreds of $ for stealing the catts. they probly got 200$ for the used catts as scrap.

check the top off strut tower mounts mabee seizeing up or tight ball joint or dry rack

change the maf senser defaults to full ritch when bad had two go bad thiss year water had got into the workings of the maf senser car was pooring black smoke and stunk like gas whouldent rev up and was overheating cats

on the race buggy engine i cut the flex plate axcees hole out to the trans to alow for fast engine removal gives you at least a 1/2 inch more

see that black and green transducer suck on the larger line to egr if whont hold vacume is toast. the digafram ruptures inside and it dosent work have had 6 in a row up here it gets water droplets in it and freezes and ruins the valve

the only problem iv'e seen on those cars is a 06 with 165000kms with a burnt valve running on 5
