  1. If the car has a sunroof, its for opening it manually. There is a small plastic button just to the left of the map light, this is where the wrench goes to open the sunroof.
  2. Maybe if they had almost new tires on them, $200 would be a decent price. Most 15's around here go for $100 a set. If they had good tires, add another $100.
  3. Your asking more for the Pugs than your paying for the Enkies. Just becuase you are working at Aarons, you dont have to charge like Aarons.
  4. Sorry, I should have mentioned this in my first post. I just had to replace the cross over on my 86 Turbo Wagon. I tried changing the gaskets, but the leak wasnt there. You couldnt see, feel or hear exactly where it was leaking. So I jacked the motor up, removed the pipe and replaced with a extra I had. Its hard to hear it running now.
  5. Are these the same ones for sale? http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15061
  6. This is something that cant be worked on while still on the car. The cross over pipe has a shield on it and most times isnt removed. At least I never have. If possible find a replacement. If you cant find a replacement, have the flanges cut off the pipe, then have them welded to a new pipe. I have one a car right now like this, so its been done before. Good luck, and welcome to the board.
  7. Very pricey, but they should have what you need. http://www.paintscratch.com/
  8. What size are they? They look pretty nice, but $200 bills I guess with new tires thats not too bad. If you get these, how much do you want for your 15's?
  9. Welcome to the board I am also a proud owner of a 86 GL-10 Turbo Wagon
  10. Maybe he means he's apologizing for any mistakes that he is going to make:rolleyes:
  11. Get some sleep, will ya? It makes things go alot smoother when your clear headed;) Hope you get it together ok.
  12. The only way to test the switch is to use another one. But seeing how you shorted across from the small terminal to the main power on the starter, I would say you have something else going on here. You should definately get something there when you short across. Did you have the ign turned on? It should still turn the starter over with it off tho. Try hooking up power to the old disty with it removed from the car, check to see if its working. That should rule out a bad starter. You may have even got another bad starter? I'm grasping at straws here.......... Will it start with a jump? If it does then the battery could be bad.
  13. You put in a EJ20G and lie Really, you cant get that much HP out of a 1.8 Turbo, even with NO2. I'm sure there are some that will argue, but as far as I know no one has got there yet.
  14. It could be in the ignition switch. Check the big pink plug under the dash to the right of the steering column. Make sure there isnt a meltdown happening there, it does happen. If thats ok, you may have to pull the switch off the back of the ignition and replace it. Just remove the steering column cover and on the left where the wires go, is the switch. 2 screws and its off. This is also a common ign failure. Youo may have to find one in the JY, or ask in the marketplace for another one.
  15. It sounds like pre-detonation, usually due to bad timing. Have you done a tune up of any sort to the engine. What kind of maintenance, besides putting water in it, have you done?
  16. Btw, it looks to be a touring wagon. Ever wonder why the wagons fly better?
  17. No, but it probably wont sound right. Always read the instructions supplied with your unit before installing (CYA).
  18. The only obvious way is if there is a label on the valve covers. It will say not to adjust the valves, because the are Hydraulic. There are some differences in cams with certain years of Brats, but as far as I know there is no way to ID them from outside.
  19. That top pic looks like it was dropped out of thin air:0 That had to hurt.
  20. The front speakers are ok, but you should run new wires to the rear. Its a common ground thing from Subaru.
  21. No, the car is legit. How else could it sell on Ebay? Its been on the board before also, about 3 years ago I believe. And there were more pics of it with alot better info. Someone here should have the complete low down of it.
  22. PB Blaster is what its called. Should be able to get it at the parts store the same time you get the plastic $3 clutch alignment tool.
  23. I think you missed something Miles. He said it needed a over drive. It obviously has a Auto Tranny in it :-\ Its normal to run at 3200rpm/65mph. Unfortunatly, altho you did get a nice car, the AT's that Subaru put out are of not top quality. Do a search here for some of the problems that arise from these. Some of the fixes are easy, but the hard one is to swap trannies, and put in a 5spd. The moon roof is stock, and yes - its huge (thats for the ejection seats. J/K) Its good that the cooling system is working well, on the Turbo's this is essential. Keep a close eye on it. And welcome to the board, your in the right place.
  24. Meat, you better check your map again. Graham is down south, east of Tacoma. Key word is Hwy 7.
