Try this: get a half dozen of those chemical hand warmers and put them around your carb. Then wrap it in aluminum foil, and then put a towel around it. That should melt any ice you mighthave in the carb. If that doesn't work, you couldalways try what I did as a young adult - kick the damn thing. It never made the car start, but I felt better afterwards.

Thanks for introducing a new forum - much needed. -

Overpriced Parts? $500+ for a heater core
northguy replied to NorthWet's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The diaphram on the end of the air breather snout that controls the gate (closes when it's cold, opens when warm) - $100 from the dealer - $60 used from AAA Subaru. I know it's not in the hundreds like some of the other parts mentioned, but this is such a small, insignificant part that it's just a blatant rip-off. -
There are worse places to be.

5w30 in winter, unless you have a head bolt heater of oil pan heater. Then run the same as the rest of the year, just plugit in.

EA82 running with no fuel pump

Happy to see you figured out the problem. Have you put a new one on yet? How is Haggard running now? -

I believe Edrach has a set of alloy 14's for sale right now. I can fit 205/75/14's under my Brat with very little fender modifications. Much better gas mileage, too. -
Your best bet is to: 1. Visit the USRM on this site and then 2. Go buy a reliable manual to walk you through the process. Neither operation is too technically difficult, but to give detailed information is time-consumptive and probably redundant - visit the USRM first. It has a ton of good info. Good luck.

Should I part it out or spend some $ ?
northguy replied to Chongo's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
So, you're looking at putting over a grand into a car that books for about $8oo. What do you think? -
Crazy in what way?

Happy greetings from South Africa

Welcome. I'm sure you'll learn to like the performance of the engine even better than the sound. -
my week sucked (RX brake troubles)

Park it and check for leaks. -
Try www.Ozified.com - they are BYB kits made in America (San Diego) by P.K. Davis. I believe he either has a kit for Legacies or will be coming out with one soon. In my opinion, these are the best d/i/y kits available. If you live or are traveling near Oregon, call Mudrat and he can virtually lift anything to about any height you want. Good luck
