I would love to see interior pics...I wish they offered that here..I would probably have bought that instead of the 08 Impreza..but the Imppy isnt so bad..been getting 32+ mpg regularly now. I liked my 90 Justy..wish I could remember what it got..I am thinking close to 50...FWD 5 spd...

Ben..if you can ..send me some up close pictures and I can help you out figuring the best most cost effective..easiest way to do it.

Wow Ed thats pretty cool...I got the value of my coupe ( once it is put back together) And was very plesently suprised $2575-$3450 .

The shame is..I know those cars best and am most comfortable working on them..And I fully understand the attachment to them ( I dearly miss mine but he is doing great and happy with his new owner)It does sound like a head gasket..But it could be a few things..does it have coolant? If so are there bubbles in it? Glad you mentioned it was AT because I believe there is a modulator that can go bad and cause some smoking issues... Also..was the radiator replaced?? That is the weak point of those cars. I truely wish I was closer cause I would be more then happy to help you out fixing it..teaching you to fix it..And am also a female which sometimes makes others more comfortable. I just did head gaskets on my 83 coupe..different motor but same concept. They are good cars and pretty easy to fix and IMO the best to learn on.

Ben...send Quido to me and let me do it:grin: I got everything for the job..angle grinder..welder..rust bullet ( as good as POR-15 but cheaper) metal prep..long hair and short hair glass..bondo...and still have have a can or 2 or 3 of Kenmore white paint. I would rather do body work any day then mechanicals.

The digi dash also takes 3 of the round connectors..2 white one black..while the analog only takes 2.

Sweet...and I noticed...you listen to Hair Nation also;) ( Hair Nation, Octane, Blue Collar Comedy and CNN news Radio..my fav sirius stations.)

I like it...I liked the orange lights of my GLF better then the the normal...you have my mind going a mile a minute now...hummmm...swapping the bulbs in my analog dash when it goes in to..maybe red ( bit I dont like to be a copy cat) or maybe blue..cause..LB DOES stand for Lil Blue

I have an FSM..this is just nostalgic..I have a few items like that...I bought the 83 book that you would get at the dealer also..I keep them and kind of like to put them on display when I show the car.

A dear friend of mine is visiting from Cali this week..and stopped by today and brought me this.. A sealed...un-opened..original manual. Said he saw it at a swap meet in cali and said I had to have it. It will never be opened..ever

Yes they do come up with different part numbers for ea81 and ea82s.

I have never had any issues getting the wrong brake pads for my Loyale....Like mentioned..just say you have a 90-94 Loyale and you will be fine Calipers are different between EA81 and EA82..thats why EA81 wagon wheels wont work on EA82s unless you grind out part of the caliper...if you give me a few moments I can cross refrence some part numbers and varify if EA81 and EA82 pads are different or not

I did my 08 Impreza..20% all the way around..had it done professionally..and now I plan on getting my coupe done also.. Just check into whats legal for how dark you can go on the doors..Here its 35% front doors min..I went illegal at 20%..but because I have a light car with a light interior ..it actually appears lighter then it is. If you want to go illegal..be willing to take the chance of getting fined

let me know if you need more.

Sure..I will have some for you shortly..since I have a couple dead digis still around and everything is still in tact in the dash

:lol: Thanks Shawn...that just made my day

:slobber::slobber::slobber: Nice Neo!!.. Tell your partner I said good job...great gift!!!!! We have to hook up again sometime again soon too...Might be doing something in a few weeks or so with some people and my coupe..I will keep you updated

I have no room to talk...I drive a 2008 Impreza 5 dr ..which many people think are ugly too

I have always found them to be pretty much...butt ugly..But we all have an opinion..And I think its like nipper says...only 1 was sold in this area..There was a reason for it.:-\

LOL..thats his spare spare....his real spare there isnt any way I would use it for a table..( his good spare has a matching alloy rim....this one is just a steelie)

Yup...that motor can basically go bak in the car now..if the car was ready for it.. I thought about the kiddie pool thing ..would save me from having to push LB outside ..and then figuring out how to get him back inside.. I still feel like I was being watched the whole time...Dang those 4 square eyes;)...So I have been explaining to LB what i am doing everystep of the way..I think he understands..he isnt being dismanteled for parts..but being brought back to his former glory. Oh and 'Dude....wire wheel and cordless screw gun ...thats my friend...But I think I was having more fun with my Makita angle grinder ..then the welder today

Two more...I put the new clutch kit in...and the newly painted crank pully...So..except for a couple small items..like oil filler tube..oil filter..alt...carb and intake...its ready to go back in:banana::banana:( as far as I know ) next will be cleaning out the engine bay.. New AC Delco clutch kit.. ( these pics are because I have been asked for updates ...notice no AGVs!!!!!) And...well..not too shabby for a girls first solo head gasket and reseal. And looks pretty good knowing its got 235K on it.

Repainted the crank pulley..replaced the front main....hacked off the AGVs..and played with my welder....PROOF!!!!!!

Small world Ben... I mainly do the Stabilizers some De Icers..and once in awhile I will do the weapons controllers. But lately I have been thinking on going a different route...and finish getting my CDL...something I always wanted. Right now I should be out in the garage though...but......

Are you sure the said Blackhawk...and not Harley??? (preparing to be slammed).:-p;) After seeing some of the people who work downstairs..I wouldnt doubt it..the department I work in has some of the highest standards in the company..I build all the control units in the cockpit. GD what you mentioned about coating with RTV...I have always dont that to valve covers..and oil pans...but I only do it on the cover and pan side never the motor.RTV is a wonderful thing..if used properly.
