  1. When I broke em on my brat I think I just pulled the heads and had a machine shop extract them.... put in new head gaskets while I was at it... 1 less thing to blow later on a 20 year old engine :-\
  2. sounds so good... gives me chills \ I want one (as iits what I wish my GL had always been)
  3. besides the SPFI hose correction its also important to use a genuine subaru PCV valve.
  4. I used to watch those shows.... then I figured out they are more or less informercials... with really cool project cars though Maybe they used the duplicolor stuff because they gave em $5000 plus free product. Just a thought. I used herculiner on my brats, messy, stuck pretty good, but I didnt have either brat to give a long term quality report. Warning... if you do it inside you will get loaded off the fumes.
  5. I would be happy if Subaru gave me one of these, a gas card, a credit card for hotels and meals, a 50K or so a year salary and said bring back the car in a year with over 100K on it (basically drive the heck out of it to test it out)
  6. personally I always find the lowest online price from these sites and take it in to my dealer parts department and ask them to match it 95% of the time they can
  7. yes the lights are part of the drop down thingie.... the plastic sides with the little black unlock/lock buttons
  8. They should interchange. Cant promise that seats from an 05+ outback will fit but I know that legacy and impreza seats pretty much interchange with each other from 1990 to 2004. The baja falls into this group too. Please be careful not to strip the captive nuts when you bolt the seat back in. They are NOT fun to change out.
  9. never seen metal in a subaru pan. Just sludge. (not even on my old engine with 85% blowby on #3) Only time I saw metal in the pan was a toyota 3AC engine... it had piston chunks in the pan
  10. I agree this or 89 is the safest.... hopefully keeps them away from EA81 parts and Legacy parts.
  11. depends on if you need a title. If you can live with no title sounds like it may be decent deal. If you want to register it, may not be worth it depending on how hard it would be to find the last registered owner and get some kind of title.
  12. Ha ha I was thinking that too. Someone needs to replicate that RX now that we have a good picture of it
  13. Bravo that they are are all parked on pavement. (none on the lawn on blocks)
  14. Sweet find for $100. My $0.02.... dont bother with the sunroof. You can throw parts and parts at em and they still only work intermitently
  15. Had mine done with the 30k service. Barely changed the labor rate as the coolant was already being changed. It got cold enough to use it here, but I keep the Baja in the garage at home and forgot the cord to plug it in at my parking spot at work. Yes I have AC power at my parking space
  16. I know they just changed suppliers on the EJ filters. My price from the local dealer has dropped from 6 something down to 5 something (I think... already filed the receipts) Crush washer AND filter used to be like 9, now its less than that. Havnt had to buy EA filters for..... a long time :-\
  17. How much are shops charging for interstate batteries? I got one for my old legacy thats BETTER than the stock on in the baja for like $64 I think (no markup.... I know people) Are you a costco member?? Last I checked optimas were like $140 or so there... (and worth it) Oh... and I assume you know to look at the CA and CCA (cranking amps and cold cranking amps) The higher the better Get as many as you can afford!
  18. you can likely get all 3 parts (lights and bumper) on here for between $25 and $50 total. Bumper will look the same in 85-86 but the 86 has more internal reinforcement
  19. if the RS guages didnt fit then your choices are likely 93-97 Impreza... so not much of a change available.... you can get white overlays (which I dont care for) but thats all ive seen.
  20. if its truly a subaru standard (STD) the back likely just says subaru. I think it has an EA71 and round headlights. should get in the 30's or 40's on mileage
