KaraK Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) (Actually suprised when I realized you were a female and tackleing this project) Sorry, Sorry, Sorry for having to say this- But females can do ALL that you can, except perhaps, spelling the word tackling.

KaraK Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 The sparks are pretty new but I bought pre-gapped so I never looked at em...: Always check them before you install- Don't trust that they are right...So simple to verify...

92_rugby_subie Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hey working on cars has nothing to do with proper grammar or correct spelling. Whats the point in knowing how to spell a part if you dont know what it is Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlWithALegacy Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 So the last couple tanks I've gotten roughly 21mpg as opposed to the 29-31mpg I was getting only a couple weeks ago. No noticable differences in the run or drive... thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 fuel filter? air filter? dirty MAF? plugs? wires? tire pressure? not sure (my memory can be lousy at times), but you are in Idaho? right? could be winter blend fuel as well? (winter blends always seem to produce lower mpg's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlWithALegacy Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Dingdingding! Dirty MAF it was! Runs like a dream now! I can pull in front of a car without getting rearended! haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirlWithALegacy Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Jeez its been a while since I've been on this thing... I've looked countless times for a writeup with pictures on how to change my oil pump gasket. Any suggestions? My HTKYSA is wonderful except its for the wrong years... If only I had the next in the series... anyhow. My main question is do you have to remove the timing belts to do this? I know you have to take the covers off... and the clutch fan gets in the way I'm told... but I don't want to dig into this if I'm gonna screw up my timing... Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 To do the oil pump, yes the timing belts must come off. To do the WATER pump, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirlWithALegacy Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 Yeah Ive seen some of his vids and I meant to check... but if I remember correctly he has the engine out. I'm sure its more difficult with it still in the bay. I'll be sure to look though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlWithALegacy Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Well I'm sure glad I kept that old hood... replaced the winshield washer line heads with the ones from the old hood and they work good as new! Also did my brake pads and rotors. Partsyard had a $6/tire special on and I found a whole set of studded snow tires with decent tread left on em. All in all I'd say its been a pretty productive week Alls I have left to replace is the passenger side axle and swap out for some better tires and I'll be all ready for WCSS14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosubarubrat Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 u could get that to come out with a "come along" really easy my friend did it with the door post(passenger door also known as shot-gun) on my sisters 87 subaru gl wagon after his wife hit it going in reverse luckily he bought all replacing parts and he installed them, he did alot of autobody for a long until he hurt his back really bad:-\(he was in construction and fell two stories and broke his back which now has a disk in it:-\) So I straightened that fender out much as I could...

GirlWithALegacy Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Yeah if you look back around page 17 you'll find pix of what we did... we actually sawzalled the thing off and swapped out a new one... the metal was juts too chewed up to salvage. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlWithALegacy Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Soooo almost 195k miles. Changed the oil and put a new plug bolt in since the old one was rounded off http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z131/rosie4491/Mobile%20Uploads/mms_picture-27.jpg .... Replaced the front passenger side axle and wheel bearings. Fixed a couple small trim pieces like the thing that holds the lap belt from falling down http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z131/rosie4491/Mobile%20Uploads/mms_picture-25.jpg so you can actually buckle up in my passneger seat again lol. Uhhh hooked up my emissions canister finally. Got an alignment and replaced my break pads and rotors. http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z131/rosie4491/Mobile%20Uploads/mms_picture-24.jpg All that in the last month. Next up: Rear shoes and cylinders. Passenger side is leaking like crazy so I only have 2 brakes atm. Kinda sucks... a lot. But I plan on attacking that in the morning before work.

GirlWithALegacy Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Scratch that! I missed taking Rook to WCSS but gained rear disk brakes for my car in the process!!! Already installed one side (so I could move my car off my poor neighbors lawn) oops. Its raining so I'm gonna work on the other side tomorrow... so excited for this upgrade though! Now when I pre reg for next years show I'll actually have something to write! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirlWithALegacy Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 did u do a gl-10 disc brake setup or what? You know I'm not 100% sure.. I believe they're off an 86 turbo xt??? But DONT quote me on that. That's just what comes to mind... lol Progress Report: From THIS To THIS Down to THIS To Ever-glorious THIS I still have plenty of work to do... but I feel very accomplished. Thanks for everybody's help and support so far! I couldn't have done all this without a few close friends and everyone on USMB. Onto the next item on the list Wheeler Wagon!
