  1. That looks great Tex. I would really like to see how you did the intake, debating wether to keep or sell the one I have. Seeing how Im going to be getting a RX as soon as my coupe sells. Rob
  2. Go to the BYB web site. www.ausubaru.com Look at some of the lifted 4dr's that the guys have down there. You may want to get yourself a 3" lift for it. Rob
  3. WOT for 3mi doesnt sound like much but, I bet that turbo got plenty hot! You might have fried the cat, if you still have one. Rob
  4. Both rear axles on a 4wd have roll pins in them, just like on the front. The exception is that they are pinned on both ends, meaning that if you pull the pins out and elevate the tire you can remove the axle easily. If you practice, it should only take 5/10min to do the job. I have driven over 250mi with both my axles in(welded diff) on the freeway, but I have a real short wheelbase. It didnt seem to effect anything at all. Call me lazy :moon: Rob
  5. Yup, thier different. It will have more codes to it also. If its a reman, I hope it has the light. The most common problem, and from your discription of whats happening with yours, is the EGR valve. Maybe check this out, see if the hoses are ok and if its working properly. Rob
  6. You had to have seen Qmans 84 GL-10 Coupe, Richie. Rob
  7. Why screw around? Just do it the right way, lazy bones:brow: Rob
  8. Love that endearing term for San Berdo. I was a Mt. Rat for many years, Lk. Arrowhead and Running Springs to be precise. Lots of great 4xing up there. Rob
  9. :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: Maybe by the time snow flies, I'll get my shiznit ready/done. If I can stop procrastinating:banghead: Rob
  10. I have an adjustable holder in my 86 Turbo wagon. Its on the center console between the e-brake and driver seat, it just fits. Of course its a 5spd PB 4WD, so theres no D/R lever to get in the way. Rob
  11. Yes Brian, its time to get another Alt. I've been going thru the same scenario with mine. Out of all the parts I have, my 86 Turbo wagon is on its 4 Alt in a about 5 months. I have checked into parts for rebuilding, its about $55+/-. We'll see what GD comes up with on his source for a rebuild amount. The older the Alt, the more sensitive the innards are, and they go dead quick and easy. The EA81 Digidashes actually have an alarm on them when the voltage goes squirrley, but you need to shut down fast before its toasted. Everyone also needs to be looking at the Chevy/GM Alt's(from an earlier post) for a higher amp replacement too. Rob
  12. No Caleb, not your old wreck;) Its the 84 Turbo wagon I stripped. Rob
  13. Unfortunately, I have work to do. Besides, whats more fun(almost) than 4Xing? Cutting up an old Soob wagon:headbang: Rob
  14. PoorMan, by using the MMO you probably loosened up some debris and blocked an oil passage. This is kind of common. I would suggest changing the oil and using a 20/50W oil. Something similiar to this happened with a 85 wagon I had. Used MMO with a fresh oil change and ran it for about 500mi. It clattered still, so I changed oil again with another bottle of MMO. It seemed to help and after a couple 1K, I did another oil change and the clatter was gone. Results will vary tho, and theres no quarentees. Rob
  15. So you didnt swap tha actual gauges, but complete tanks? Maybe somehow that had something to do with it? Just one of those Soobie Quirks I quess:cornfuzz: Rob
  16. I'm with Taprack on this one. Replace the fuel filter(s). Not sure if it has 2, one in front of the right rear, and the other by the windshield wiper motor. Need to get yourself a manual for sure. Oh, and welcome to the board and the world of Subaru. Rob
  17. The digi and analog sending units are different. I would definately try another sending unit, if you can find one. Let me know, I think I may have one. Rob
  18. I've got a list........and your all on it:madder: You'll find out come X-Mas:santa: Rob PS-Theres only one person from the board I'll never do biz with again. Most know who.
  19. Thanks Caleb:D Also just got rid of the clutch fan on the GL-10, and installed the aux fan. The throttle reponce is much quicker now. Rob
  20. To make things a little easier on you next time, throw a piece of plywood down under the car. Jacks roll alot easier then. I've been working on dirt and gravel for the last 14yrs. Rob
  21. Your car wont run without it:eek: Sorry, couldnt resist. No, you dont need to change the disty, just cap/rotor/plug wires, and sparkplugs. That way you have all new parts and you will definately notice the difference. Rob
  22. Most of the people on the board use NGK exclusively. Rob
