  1. My $0.02s If it"s welcome...Let"s see on the Cheap EH? EA82 Turbo mtr.to start then take out the frt. axles-leave the stubs in the hubs,Empty the cat out, Get a LSD and a Can {Muffler} an there ya go...OR Trade or Sell your Subie to someone who wants it and get a early "80"s Camaro W/A V-8 weld the Diff.,an there you go a Driftin!!! There"s 1 on craigs here in Denver I saw yesterday! A SBC in a gl-you would have to do dry sump-No Oil Pan $800. It would still stick up thru the hood,pullnpay trans $150. PnP Rear Diff.$125. The weight Diff. Unreal.....
  2. To RDWEN, And I bet the gas mileage went up too EH? And to the chime my Friend-He"s 82 an 1/2Deaf has a 98 OB and asked me if I could shut up the chime because it annoyed him-He drove my OB for 5days and asked why my chime didn"t work {I Fixed IT 5min.after I bought it } so 5min. later his was FIXED too!!!! he was all !! I just got a 90"TOY PU {12-12My Xmas Present 2 Me} With the UNdying Buzzer 2Min.Later FIXED
  3. To Texan, You know the country song-He talks about how we were kids rode our bicycles W/no Helmet our houses were painted with lead based paint And here we still are!! I"m same boat as you grew up w/all the bad stuff and I"m still Here an Healthy I think all this new stuff they say is healthy/better for you is worse Like when FORD came out with Fuel Lines In the 90s that turned Into CAUSTIC ACID/FUMES when the Car caught Fire or the Lines started melting SCARY!! The Fire Department came by the Shop I worked at and gave us the lowdown on it SCARY SH** Man!! Yes I Try to wear rubber gloves but sometimes they more of a hinderance than help-Good for taking apart and cleaning but if your parts are spotless after cleaning then I don"t wear them!! PS HAPPY KEGGS&EGGS DAY
  4. They use the super scanner/comp. at the dealer/shops....Real Scanners have a high idle built into them for testing purposes...BMW does drive by wire cars now-Has Been 2012-NO More steering column - I.E. Sector shaft...GM/Izuzu Trks have doing gas pedal drive by wire since 05-06 and I do believe our imfamous US Govt. is trying to make mandatory drive by wire-Steering-Brakes in 2014-16 for all US built cars-OH BOY!! Govt.can"t even take care of business now they"re Car Experts Too!! I"ll keep My Old School Cars Thank You!!! Just Think JAMES DEAN Goin Over A Cliff if the Computer goes on Vacation {Fries-Freezes Up }!!!
  5. I had a Brown Brat W/the Copper-Brn.even topper W/the Gold Enkeis...Man it looked good My 81 4x WGN. is copper and I"d like to have a set for that Pretty much any of the old school Subie aftermarket wheels are getting hard to find-I come across em and buy em now -Even the WHT. Spokes are hard to find around here in the JYs now
  6. Yep Cool wheels alright Damn I saw the Hatchie and the wheels and thought it was my setup but my wheels have 16 spokes instead of 12 and my Hatchie {ZUMIE} has blue INT.and pinstriping
  7. Misfit I agree...my first ALL/Off Road car was a 64 vw beetle with a 1500 and a weber and I used to 4x that thing going camping AND Then came The 78 SUBIE 4x WGN. And I"VE Never Looked Back !!! That was in "82" And instead of Flogging Molly I"M Still Flogging SUBIE"s And Uberoo If you rent a car make sure you get the FULL Cov.Insurance-you never know if you"ll hit a Lol
  8. I know where a sedan is so I"ll look at it when I go by there this week...

    Looking at it straight on in the Pics it looks like a old citroen-meserati somewhat which is odd since I owned a couple of old 510s!!! Yeah I agree the GLs headlights Blow in the dark At least now you can put some CIBIE"s or HELLA"s in there W/80/100 Watt bulbs and see in the dark !!! Go with the short chrome mirrors-Like the saying goes....If it don"t go chrome it!!
  10. YEP!! It"s a 1600 Sing.Rang.4x... It"s A Keeper!!! NOT TO BAD...Fairly straight-Big Plus is All the Lenses Are Good-Thats 1/2 the battle,Right ON for saving it Cheers!!! OH Yea The dog Likes it!!!
  11. Scrap the 240 and Keep the SUBIE As I"m sure you noticed that 240 isn"t very good in the snow unless you want to just slide around Now as for the SUBIE you can go an have fun driftin around at your leisure {Safely Too }
  12. GO WEST Young Man!!! Especially If you want rust free...Check E-Bay Good Luck
  13. I have A good one for ya How bout the Mid"80"s Chry.New Yorker or Nissan Maxima W/ The Womans Soft Voice that told you-The Door Is Open,The Key is in the Ignition, And As If The Gauge w/THE Light Wasn"t enough She would Tell You- You are low on Fuel...Really!!
  14. Hey Dave, I"m down in Denver,Co. and I go back an forth to Delta {Cedaredge} so I can help you out-I have 3 Subies up there I work on and You won"t get the right parts Trust Me I went thru it already...They have Tractor Parts Not Subie Parts....PM me so we talk..Nate
  15. Hey r81...If you have to do smog test you better get it $200. is a steal-you can"t buy these new anymore I"ve tried and the last price I got was almost $500..4yrs.ago! Use your old 1 unless it"s trashed..I don"t have smog test in Western Colo.and I just had my whole exhaust done for $300..on my 83 4x WGN. FRT. to Back at a Custom EXH.shop!! Came out really nice and fairly quiet AS For MIDAS-Wayyy Overpriced For the work they do {I haven"t been impressed} and I"ve seen alot of it If I was to look for a exhaust shop I"d go to a Hot Rod shop and ask them who does their EXH. work,Go there and tell them what you want..Me personally I"d ask for Stainless pipe and muffler-IT Won"t Rust..It"ll cost more but worth it in the end...
  16. Take it out and take it to the strongest{highest pressure} Car wash around you. Hang it on the mat hangers and blast the crap out of it It gets clean or it doesn"t!! That"s the cheapest way besides replacing it I know of! Or you can Rhino Line it...Lol
  17. RUST,I commend you for finding that Brat Pic-NICE Who owns that..i"ve never seen it on the board! All it needs is A PTO W/ 3 Point hitch W/Attachments Killer!! Hey Stubies....Does that mean your going to start collecting Subies so you can sell parts I.E. help keep all the older Subies on the road Plus yours? 60 acres EH....10 acres would be enough for a little parts yard
  18. Hey Stubie,If you need to do fencing-RUN WIRE/PULL WIRE I Know exactly how to do all the Farmin w/Super SUBIEs-You can set up a spinning Jenny in the back to run long lengths of wire and use your wire clamp and a chain to pull the wire tight w/the Subie + you can carry all of your fencing tools in the back-T-post driver,Hammer,And if you have Roof Racks you can lay a board on them and Put your T-POSTs on Top out of the way!! If you have HI-LO they work Killer!! These are killer ranch/daily driver cars
  19. I saw but no answer from you green,Did you check disty shaft play? Also did you Blow out the Fuel Line from the Front of the car to the back w/compressed air-120PSI to see if any crap came of -IE Barbecue Sauce-That stuff is mostly sugar and you did mention EX-GF/Girl repainted the interior w/Barbecue Sauce!! Nice Girl
  20. Check the Fusible Links-Next to the battery under a small Rectangle cover-To check them look to see if the covering is burned at the ends then pull on GENTLY to see if they come apart....The other thing to check is the big power wire to the ALT. and see if it looks burned or melted-it"s common on the old 1s and check the batt. cables under the rubber coating-they carrode inside-they look good outside but be gone inside Good luck
  21. Nice Sanbar...That thing Is So COOL That Honda 600 Brings back memories=We had a teacher that had 1 in high school...If he was a Di*k to us sometime during the Wk. on Fri. 4 of us would put it between these two trees-{ It Fit Perfect !} It was like a game-He"d say something about it but do nothing-He knew it was us Do that nowadays and go to jail
  22. PULL The MTR. Well I"m sort of a clean freak-I hate antifreeze all over so I do ALL of my Underneath stuff first! Then I Do the Lower Rad Hose and then the Heat Hoses, Pull the Drain Plugs on the Heads-Blk to drain the rest of it and usually not much of a mess-coupla drops is all!! I can pull a Mtr. in less than a hr.w/cig brk.
