my phone.... ....fits perfectly

ALLLRIGHTY!!! so! this is what happened.... I put the grease on the connector and completely cleaned it off.... Start the car.... No CEL ... WOOHOO!!! *arms still up in the air* CEL on... crap. FINE! I’ll bust out the Factory Shop Manual (FSM) electrical diagram and see where everything is... I look at the road map of the connectors... and one of the connectors goes into the same plug that the knock sensor goes into (plug = gigantic engine harness plug, one of like 2 or 3 close to the battery in the engine compartment). If you've read any of my other posts... I HATE the knock sensor.. and had to rewire it because I had a short in the wire. SO! I'm thinking the same thing. short somewhere, directly run a line to the computer. Sounds good! I can make electrical connectors ect to go into the actual plug that sits into the computer. SO! out comes the FSM, and I see one plug goes to pin 25. Out with the multimeter, check for continuity, looking for the pin. I find one pin that it connects to, and it makes no continuity with any other pins, so I feel there is no short (and the resistance is super low). looks great, from the connector all the way to the computer. fantastic. one down, one to go... I plug into the second port on the plug and search for a short. I start roaming with the other connector. BEEP! I have continuity.... BEEP! BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!! ...wait... 5 connections?!?! I follow this madness on the electrical schematic.. and it goes to pin 4...which also branches out to pins 9, 14, 15, and 13. And if I follow pin 4, it goes into the Mass Air Flow Sensor....holy hell. How do I even begin this??? *feeling of ultimate SCREWEDNESS* I sit there looking at the electrical diagram, ready to call it quits for further research, and I go back to the big plug (affectionately called plug "A" by the FSM) and look at it, hoping it will call out the answer... .......and I notice one of the female receiving ends on one of the pins is pushed down... almost too far to make a connection.... ...........interesting. I push it back into place, and connect everything up.... it works.. CEL is no more. went for 30 miles... no problem. HOLY CRAP!!! When I worked at Circuit City for 2 1/2 years, one of the ways we learned to sell monster cable is to tell the customer "Your connection is only as good as your weakest link." PIN 12 !!! YOU'RE THE WEAKEST LINK! GOODBYE! HAHA I WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

excellent... i cleaned the green, put some dielectric grease on it... about to go for a drive... i'll be back in about... 20 minutes... we'll seeeeeeeeeeeeee......

gary you're freakin awesome.... ok ! so i went out there... and pulled the two wire, three prong plug off the throttle body and two of the connectors were COMPLETLY green with corrosion... ew... so i sanded down the prongs... but i cant get into the plug to clean it out.. i was thinking a baking soda mix like on car batteries.. but i didnt know if that would work..... thats gotta be it.... right?

ok so i soldered the connectors... and all looks well... but the check engine light comes back... when the car is cold... it won't have a check engine light.... bu as soon as it been driven for about 8 to 10 minutes, the light comes on... with a code 31.. so thats TPS... do you think the connectors could be bad on that? grr.. back to the garage...

gary man, great info, i'll double check, and then i'll probably get to solderin' thats kinda my special anyway i'll double check the codes, and see whats up thanks! Luigi

ok bla bla ....87 GL-10 Turbo Sedan FT 4WD 5 speed..... ok! so i change out a crap connector that was giving me a code 21 and put a new coolant temp sensor in... turn the key ...awesome.. no check engine light.. go for a little drive ...still no light... almost home... pull into the driveway.. and check engine light comes on... grrrr.... so now i go to get the codes (ive read about 30 different ways to get the codes out ... so this is what i did..) turn the car on... engine idling....CEL on... plug in the green connectors ONLY, computer flashes 3 long, 1 short, then the CEL goes out and flashes the normal 2 short stating a manual california car (or whatever the code is for a manual california car) ........ unplug the green connectors, CEL is on again, plug the green in, flashes the 3 long 1 short and the light goes out .....repeats.... so... i check this "31" code im getting... and it doesnt exist as far as i can tell... and why does the CEL go out after it blinks 3, then 1 like that? i mean, do i suck? is this something that needs to be cleared or something, and everything is actually ok? (haha in my dreams) am i flashing for codes COMPLETLY wrong, and im screwing something up? i'd like to go get my car smogged tomorrow so i can take it up to rally school please help! thanks! Luigi

Like you need me to say it... but that is SICK! I want to buy a remanufactured engine and do what you're doing ... over time.... since engineering school really gives me SO much free time and all man i cant wait to see that thing at WCSS! gunna be siiiiick!!!! i'll be in the red touring wagon ... with a 5 speed bwahahah. get some sound files up as well!!!! love to hear it! thanks! <---sweeeet

Hey! i have one of those electric 1/10 scale AWD subaru remote controlled cars, and the bodys come off and you can put whatever you want on it... anyone ever thought if they made a GL-10 body?!?!?!!? that'd be sick!! they're just lexan (clear) and then you paint the inside however you'd like.. this would be SICK!!!!!!! k throw out the ideas if anyones heard of it.. ive got a tamyia RC 1/10 peace! Luigi

those will fit the Legacy's? do any year Impreza's fit? what other parts are interchangable? i read you put a WRX clutch in your legacy... what about flywheels, or brakes, or bushings, or even like swaybars and stuff?.. i wish i knew what i could use where, i wish there was a list or something somewhere...

serious

I was curious where people purchase strut tower braces, performance short shifters, and any other PERFORMANCE parts for their 92 Legacys (90-94 series) anyone got awesome sites to share?? i'd love to start making this thing AWESOME... heres two i know of.. http://www.spomotorsports.com/ http://www.renickmotorsports.com/oscommerce/catalog/ LETS SEE WHERE YOU GO!

awesome! i'll keep everyone posted!

wow, so i can, but i cant? i've got a little bit of time before it goes down... thanks for all the responses.. but i believe im more confused then i was at the beginning thanks!

i mean without any drive train in the back.. just wheels... no halfshafts, rear end, or prop shaft...

ive got an 87 GL-10 and a 92 Legacy Touring Wagon (EJ22-T) love em both EDIT: my friend has a 2000 2.5RS, and ive driven numerous legacys, and Ea cars... its all your style i think, the legacys get nicer as they get newer (duh) but.. theres something about those EA series cars.... easy peasy!

ok thats good to know... i'll have a rear end to put into the back of the car to hold everything in place, then i'll have a the forklift dude raise the car up, and i'll remove the rear. what about rolling the car around. the touring wagon will probably move 40 - 60 feet total, all at walking speed, and slower... will this be a problem? sounds like it will thanks for the response!! anyone else want to put their $0.02?

So heres my scenario... 91 Legacy L AWD 5 speed... *remove 5 speed, rear end, parts* 5 speed ----> into my 92 Touring Wagon... 91 Legacy with no rear end, and axels -----> 30 miles away---->Crusher I want to put the 91 (when its a rolling shell) up onto the tow dolly (rear 2 wheels on the ground) but it wont have a rear end, nor the axles attached for those will go into the touring wagon. Does this practice put stress on the wheel berings to the point of danger? going a step further, i'm going to be doing the swap and i need to move cars around, by physically rolling them around my property.... can i move either the touring wagon or the silver bullet (as Clark fondly called the 91 before he sold it to me) without axles in place? i really dont want to score the bering track and cause damage. haha, and another thing i was curious about... when i get the flywheel out, i read somewhere that on the 2000's *outbacks* that you're not supposed to resurface the flywheel... is this true on ALL subarus??? any info is AWESOME. i found that so strange.. but then again, we subaru folk kinda go against convention us and our "boxer" power rock on.. rock on ... and thanks!!!

This is more what i was looking for... http://www.economysuperstar.com/milesfox/subaru/service/partsguide/loyale23.jpg I want a PDF with ALL the parts.. for an 87 GL10 thats a cool site though man!! thanks!

I see all the time those guys selling CD-roms with the complete accident parts list with (or whatever they're called) for every little piece and thingie that comes on our cars...authentic subaru part numbers my questions are.. A) are these any good are they worth buying for 10 bucks or so.. C) does anyone have them already as a PDF file or something that i could throw a buck or two at... D) which car you ask? 1987 GL-10 sedan FT 4WD it'd be nice to see what the part number is for something, match it up.. then go to like 1stsubaruparts.com and get exactly what i need with an authentic subaru part number... any help would be great!!! thanks in advance!

im going to go against the grain... and tell you that you CAN do it in the car. ..... i did. its a little bit of a *************** on the driver side... but the passenger side wasnt that bad... got all the way down to the pistons... was able to clean them up really good, and all back together. neet. ... .......then i bought a cherry picker... its still shiny and new in my garage LOL

thats rad... i'll have to look into this... maybe someone could get ahold of the dimensions and send them over to subydude to have him machine something out... how rad would THAT be! AIM: DaSubyDude

i'll take whatever time off you decide... also highway 13 through the berkeley hills is pretty sweet, but traffic sometimes... i am SO down.. just tell me one week in advance, and i'll have the time off work! SWEET! count me IN!

nail me for this... and laugh as you will.. but welding is involved to move correct

YESSS!!! i went last year and i LOVED it... I'll be up thursday night, and leaving like late sunday. i'll be *hopefully* with my two buddies in a 2000 2.5 RS, blue 2 door. i'll be the one taking an insane amount of pictures, and probably decked out in all subaru gear. such a nerd. itd be RAD to meet up! PM me if you're interested in getting together for food or something! awesome! i cant wait!
