extra doodads: worth it or not?
A couple thoughts here. I have heard recently there are some offroaders using diving tanks for air supply. These can hold up to 2ooolbs of air, should be enough for several big tires. And they are aluminum, so you have less weight and no compressor to deal with. The inverters are fairly cheap and compact, if you get a good one you can run a small coffee maker :-p Really need a bigger alt for running high amp power tools.

weird noise
It could be the rock shield on the inside of the brake rotor. Or a rock stuck in the wheel maybe.

Freebiemobile made it home... (long)
Not without modifying the seat brackets. But its been done by several people here, I'm sure a search will come up with the topic. Or it might even be in the USRM.

Thanks Noah, hadnt seen that page yet. Thats a sweet setup for the coupe, but I think it needs the 5spd D/R with MPFI

so, how many subaru manuals do you have?
Theres 2 for 85, 4 for 86, 4 for the 88 XT/XT6. So there might be only 4 for 88.

Quick, name that part!
Ditto that

Why dont you just make one? All the parts are available, altho its a little hard to source the Dual Intake. But it can be done. And I looked real hard, but couldnt find anything on the brochure saying it had a LSD and D/R.

Info on the WA "Freebie" Soob, need help
If you replace the sparkplugs, you can squirt a little ATF in the cylinders and rotate the crank a few times.

I think Qman got a few from Corky, but he already had quite a collection. Me, I just have a few........

What to do when you suck in water?
It depends on how much you drowned the engine. If its real bad, pull out the sparkplugs and crank the engine over to get any water out of the cylinders. Definatly change the oil and maybe check the intake hoses for water too. If you dont have extensions on your diff air breathers you might want to drain and refiil those.

Door panel removal for speaker install
The major component that needs to come off is the arm rest. Then remove the little screw that holds the plastic trim inside the door handle and lock, this has little clasps top and bottom holding it to the handle so it may take a small screwdriver to get it out. Then from the bottom corners, give the panel a quick sharp pull. This will pull the plastic pins out of the door, these are all around the bottom and half way up the sides. Once you get it loose, you need to pull the bottom out and lift up to get the rubber trim on top out of the door.

Just would like say to all Subaru's owners.
Welcome to America and to the USMB. We have a large population of Subaru owners in your area, if you need help with anything just let us know.

Rear LSD?
Get down underneath the back of your car and wipe the tag clean thats on the back of the diff (most the time they are covered in grease and road grime). It will say LSD, 3.7 and with part #, etc.

ultimate subaru road trip!!
Someone up front of a caravan needs to have a good, beefy front brushguard. Need something for the moose to bounce off of(or your Soob ). I've always wanted to do the Alkan, and this is starting to get me interested also. Altho I dont think its possible for me in the near future but down the road like 2 summers from now. Maybe.
-
my car is no more
Bummer, eh? Looks like its totaled too. Sell the parts here, and let it live on

ultimate subaru road trip!!
If you dont have much experience with winter driving, I wouldnt recommend doing it. It could certainly be deadly :-\

questions
The DL is the base model, no frills or options. I have only heard of swapping the EA71 pistons to a EA81 to increase the compression ratio.

Removing rear seat from ea81 wagon
Heres what the 82 FSM says (Note-Any wierd wording is Japanese related). Turn forwardly bushing on the left side of the body to disengage it from the hinge pin, and remove it from the body by pulling it forward toward the center of the body(I assume this is the pin cover). Pull out hinge pin on right side out of the hole on the bracket in the right side of the body, while bringing back rest to the extreme left end. Bring back rest to the right and pull out the left hinge pin. Simple, eh?

Idiots...
So ...you going to take it in and have them change the coil and fuel filter too
