  1. I had a 98 or so OBS tape deck in my 87 GL.... I just made an adapter harness to go between the deck and the factory car wiring. I clipped the illumination wire because the deck would go dark when I turned on the headlights. With it clipped the display would always be lit, but the buttons wouldnt. I just wrapped electrical tape around the part of the deck that stuck out. Looked good enough.
  2. My solution to this problem (back when I used to work on EA82's as projects... but EJ25's should hold true for the same thing) was to find one that ALREADY had a blown head gasket... Then I could fix it on my terms and know when it was done, and know that it was done right and that it wouldnt blow again in a month A friend of mine just bought a really nice loaded 2002 outback limited for like $8000, had Richie replace the head gaskets and rear brakes and she came in still under her $9995 budget Sure beats buying the $9500 outback with currently good gaskets and having them blow a month later
  3. I THINK that an 83+ 4WD clutch is bigger than an 82- 4WD and FWD clutch. My lifted brat used to have the little clutch.... it sucked
  4. maybe check truck trader too... When I sold my brat I didnt know which to put it in since its kinda both a truck and car, but also not really either :-\
  5. i didnt go, but I heard about it on the radio.... KUFO I think....
  6. kbb wont even go back that far.... but dont be surprised if they give you a hit figure of like $750 "just because of the mileage" or some bull like that. Likely the first number you hear from them wont be what you expect... so dont take it unless its like $2500-4000 or something halfway reasonable Hopefully you get near enough out of it to buy Ed's brat
  7. I agree that an outback could haul the weight and the material... but would you WANT to haul that stuff in the back of it? Even with the tarp in the bed I still had lots of escapees that I had to sweep and shop vac out of the corners of the bed.
  8. Can your outback haul this?? Its more than it looks like.... likely 1200-1300 pounds of river rock
  9. Sweet thanks... looks like it may be right about where needed (maybe a little tight, but I think I could make it work)
  10. How much do you think shipping from alabama would be though? :-\ Guess it depends on how big they are first though.
  11. Like the title says.... someone have a set of jumpseats they could measure? (the stock subaru metal frame with the 2 seats bolted to it) Looking to see how far it is from the outer grab handle to the other (basically the width of the entire structure) The height and depth of the structure would help too. I would settle for just the measurement of 1 seat with the 2 handles on it. Not telling what for yet... but the wheels are turning
  12. maybe grab that $500 ish one thats down here near Salem.... and swap any of your good stuff over. Make sure to buy it back from insurance as its likely only going to cost like $50-75 to buy back and you could make that from the tailgate and trim alone
  13. Wow that woulda been so sweet with those big fatty tires in the rear.... which I assume it could still melt into rubber streaks
  14. Wow... much better than before... How as the blue stuff painted anyway??? krylon?
  15. If I had the time and it was a car I could actually figure out, I would help as I live right near there.... But.... it may as well be a rocket engine I cant figure out those crazy american sideways engines and I work like 14 hour days anyway. Free bump for you
  16. my 98 2.2 AWD L sedan got 31 highway going from portland to reno and back. often reaching 90 MPH too Didnt have it long enough to get around town MPG
  17. 91 Legacy L.... 241K, leaks a lot.... but going to reseal it and use it as a commuter.
  18. Too bad they arent open at 5AM on saturday mornings... I am up there every week
  19. really the only 2 things that are easy and will keep the car reliable is to put some kind of intake on it and install a free flowing muffler (like a glasspack, or a turbo-muffler, or a flowmaster)
  20. So.... my 91 legacy project car is having some seatbelt issues. Short story: They dont work Long Story: - I tried swapping the seatbelt brain and it didnt seem to make a difference - The fasten seatbelt light flashes and always flashes regardless of use of belts or door position. - The beeper DOES work when you disconnect the belt emergency release (on both sides) - The belts are stuck at the rear (travelling) position - The car was running, though I had to use a jumper box to start it - Door switches are kind of worn, though the door ajar (which door) indicator works - I opened and closed the doors afew times with the belt attached to the moving buckle and it wouldnt go forward to let me out. - All the fuses under the dash appeared to be ok at visual glance (and everything else in the car seems to work) - Key chime does not make noise when key is left in ignition and door is opened - 91 Legacy L, FWD 241K So the question is.... what else to try / check? Pull the trim and hotwire the belt to see if I can make it move? (like you can do to test a power window motor)
  21. This should be moved (by a moderator) to the new generation forum... But you SHOULD have cupholders in a 94. There is a piece of black trim OVER the stereo but under the climate control dials. Slides out and up and then a piece flops down to hold the bottom of the cups. http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll90/JOHNRAMINTA/IMG_0482.jpg Not my picture.... but shown here look at the top of the stereo how there is a horizontal line extending in the black trim to the side from the top of the stereo.... thats because that line is the cup holder meeting the trim.
