Headed to the cabin Tomorrow 2/14
Qman replied to ezapar's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I may have a problem making that time. Rumor has it it will be a 10 hr day. Which means I won't get off until 8:30am. I'll call you tonight. Been trying but you must be out. -
GTS does or used to make them. Here is an auction for the smoked ones. Ebay

Subaru's did not apply the self-adjusting mechanism until the introduction of the Legacy. You adjust them by turning the small square bolt that sticks out of the backing plate. They are a very simple design that works well when adjusted properly. The only problem is you have to adjust it every time you do an oil change to keep them adjusted properly. That is just one reason so many people have gone to the rear disc set up. It eliminates the need for adjusting the brakes. It gives a higher and firmer brake pedal all the time. It allows less pressure to apply the brakes as well. And... if you really need to stop in a hurry you may bruise your forehead.

can a 6ft4in guy fit in a sube?
Qman replied to rallyruss's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Just to add some info I forgot to before. My son is 6'7"+ he drives an '87 GL 3dr. He has to have the wheel all the way up and the seat all the way back and reclined some but he fits OK. -

Qman replied to rallyruss's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I'm 6'4" and I fit fine. Leg room isn't great but I enjoy my Subes and have adapted to it. Just put him in it and go for a drive. If he isn't comfortable in it after a drive he probably won't ever be. -
Hey speed, got any pics of that. Sounds kinda cool.

I have rock guards on my '86 Brat. I also have run the clear covers for the EA82 composites. I have a set of smoked covers for the '92 Legacy turbo wagon. The clear ones are great for all round use. The smoked ones look very nice with the dark black cherry paint but really suck at night.

are '81 and '83 motor mounts different?
Qman replied to Russ Hill's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I agree. Just push the bolt into the hole. It will be alright. -
I fully understand what you mean by not letting others work on your rig. But...that being said. When it comes to glass I leave that to the guys that do that everyday. They have the tools and experience. It will cost a little more to do it once than the money you'll save. Just my .02.

Cool Skip, it is a little scratchy though. How does it sound with it just sitting still?

Turbo, Rebuild or Repalce with stock WRX turbo????
Qman replied to garner's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
You will need to mod the engine crossover to accomodate the turbo's up-pipe. You'll understand when you go to put it in. -
Turbo, Rebuild or Repalce with stock WRX turbo????
Qman replied to garner's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The turbo back exhaust is a piece of cake. You have to modify the cross-over(front side). If you are planning all of these mods then one more isn't gonna be a big deal at this point. It would have been benefiacil to know this the first time. It sounded like you were just going to swap turbo's. -
Facts about EA82 model vehicles, The wheel bases are the same. The U-joints are not "replacable"(yet). All drivelines for EA82's are interchangable if the trans is the same. If the trans is not the same you can swap the rear half but not the front(thanks for the memory trigger Miles) As far as the joints not being servicable. They aren't as they sit. You will need to go to a driveline shop to get this done but they will remove the stock joints and install a new servicable joint with zerk fittings. This probably won't be cheap. But the benefits are that you can now lube your joints(longer life) and replace them yourself if they ever go bad again.

Car quit last night, what's the problem??
Qman replied to JParuBob's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Not the disty screw the rotor screw. This is a small copper/brass colored screw that keeps the rotor from turning inside the disty. Pop the cap and see if the rotor spins and then if that is OK try to start the car and verify that the rotor turns with the motor. -

Qman replied to garner's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Corky is right on all statements. That price is cheap. They get a G note to rebuild them for you. If you can get the parts and are comfortable doing the rebuild your self you could do 5 + and still not have spent what some charge for one. Converting to a WRX turbo is alot of work. Been working/watching Tex on his conversion. You can't just swap exhaust it has to be modified to accept the turbo. -
Do the repair, DO NOT BEND THE TABS!! The air gap is critical to performance. Fix the one you have or get a suitable used one.

Has anyone used a tow bar on a Subaru??
Qman replied to clantieri's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Make sure to either pull the rear axles or unbolt the driveline from the diff if using a tow dolly with a 4WD. -
All GL/loyales share the same wheel base. It will work fine. The deciding factor is that they share the same trans. You can't mix auto and manual drivelines.
-
The difference is in bore size. I believe all the rest is the same. I'm sure you can use the larger one in place of the smaller one. It is only 1/16" difference in bore.

Corky used all EJ gear. No adapter was used. Jerry has the only adapter that I know of currently. -
