It is in good shape with zero rust. There are a few dings from doors and what not. No leather. Too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. And, I have enough projects thank you. It will remain an auto until it stops working. Then it may or may not become a manual. I have to admit that I like the ease of operation of the auto. It's nice to not shift all the time. The wagon didn't come in the LSi trim. Only the sedan. It did have the leather option though. Original owner didn't select it.

Other than the loss of power, lack of 4WD and having to modify the cross member it'll work. The motor in your '82 will go into the '86. As a matter of fact there are a couple of people who have done this. Why do you want to change the trans? By taking the trans from your '82 you will no longer have 4WD. You can keep the original trans in the '86. All you have to do is swap the flywheel from the '86 to the '82. Keep the clutch components with the appropriate flywheel. You will also have to do a small amount of grinding to the EA81 bellhousing to accomodate the flywheel from the EA82. BTW, our search function works well. It may help you find valuable info that has been discussed in the past. I searched for "EA81 to EA82 swap" Here are the results; search results And this one is more specific. A topic found in the results. Swap info

Brian, I was going to hand it to you personally but... send me an email with your address and I'll send it to you. Probably only take a day or two to get there. Ken

Well, it has the LSi options but is refered to as the LE Touring wagon. 1992 LE wagon. Bone stock'cept for the wheels.

Nissans/Datsuns, Capri's, Mustangs just about any small engined vehicle will have the chance of someone adding a Weber to it.

Hey Billy, you have mail. Let me know if you do or do not get it. Ken

I ground the feet for my hatch. Hatchback air deflectors are hard to find.

What usually happens is the bolts get set when the gasket is new. Then peope forget about them. Over time the gasket shrinks and the bolts are no longer tight. Vibrations and such cause them to loosen. It may be an indication that you should change those particular gaskets even.

I just filled my tank and with the new motor and such I'm getting 22 mpg. Now it will be better but I have been doing some hard driving checking things out. And have been spending alot of time into the secondaries.

OK, I dug through my brouchures and found that the 4WD's had Bridgestone SF radials in RWL. I can't tell what the white wall models were.

I just checked the warranty and the owners manual. I couldn't find anything specific to brand or model of tire. Might have to find an old timer at Subaru to get that type of info.

When were the fuel filter(s) changed last? There is one in the engine bay and also one located near the tank and fuel pump. The rear one gets forgotten all the time. Depending on the hill this could be normal. Is this a hill you've travelled before? Has it always done this or is it a new problem? Note; there is not a TPS on an EA81 powered hatch.

Mine is an XT6 flywheel, pressure plate, and disc inside a 5sp D/R behind an EA81HO. This is for the '86 Brat I will be using the EA82 flywheel turned to XT6 specs. Only reason is this flywheel has been lightened. This one will also go inside a 5sp D/R behind an EA81HO. This is for the '85 Brat

Are you experiencing coolant loss in the radiator? Odd question but will make sense. Cars will "leak" fluid out of the exhaust as part of the combustion process. The intake gaskets can leak but it isn't really common. Generally speaking if you have fluid loss and water in the exhaust you have a head gasket going out. Where in Oregon are you? There are a couple very competent people in Oregon that can help you.

How did you clean the maying surfaces? I have not had this type of problem with the EA81 adapters. I have not done an EA82 Weber swap either. If it is leaking into the manifold I would say the surfaces are warped. May need to take it off and have that surface planed. It is the same method used to resurface exhaust manifolds. That hose does serve a purpose however. It stops icing of fuel. The slight amount of heat it apllies to the intake manifolds will reduce the odds of icing in the carb.

Why don't we just keep adding clips to this post. Give us all something to listen to.

Make sure when rerouting the new cable that you run it under the steering shaft. Many times it gets run over the top and wears out prematurely. Other than that it is pretty basic. Good luck.

I got it at Delta Camshafts in Tacoma Washington.

No problem Snot... It is a little motor.

That's a decent explanation.

Yep, that's clantieri's. I can't believe he's been holding all this stuff. That and the fact that now he's selling. Bummer/good for him I guess.

Cool, Emily will take care of you. Thanks Emily, (did you guys get my message?)

And I'll bet the final price is about 3 or 4 times what it is now.

I'm not sure how to explain it but it is a sound the engine makes when it has a large camshaft and higher compression.

Yep, and as you can see they hold up to water too!!
