two85s Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hello all, for maintenance parts (air & oil filters, pcv, egr, fuel pumps/ filters, emission-carb valves/ canister, belts, odd and end fasteners, etc.) for my 1985 wagons, both very stock. 1) Should I seek a local dealer for these parts or 2) Which parts supplier(s) do you all like to work with who can ship them to my door. Thanks for your help. Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two85s Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 OK for 80's era parts your recommendations please. Online or Dealers? I need to get mainly routine maintenance parts for two 1985 wagons. I think online would be better. Who should I buy from? Thanks for your help. Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92_rugby_subie Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 OEM from the dealer is always nice to see on a Scoob but if you cant go that high (trust they are expensive) then RockAuto.com is usually the best for parts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two85s Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Thanks Rugby! I appreciate your feedback. I'll look into it more and hopefully find what I want is available, otherwise it will be harder to keep the cars. Thanks Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92_rugby_subie Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Well quality parts from Autozone or Napa or O'Reilly's or Baxters, etc will do. Dont use Fram oil filters on a Subaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two85s Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Thanks again Rugby, I will be posting pics soon to document current status of cars and as repairs as they are made. I just yesterday received a 1985 Subaru parts catalog that I purchased on ebay. It is sweet. California wants the smog done every two years I'll make a list of parts I think I need and then see about availability and price from the places you mentioned. Thanks, Aaron.

92_rugby_subie Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Oi California is a hard place to have carbureted Subarus... The Hitachi is a junk carburetor and the Weber wont ever pass emissions But yea, I dont know how California is with those stores, a reputable parts store is a great place to start for maintenance parts, or like I said, dealer OEM is great. I run the "Chevron" brand 10w-30 and Mobil/Bosch filters in Ned and he does great. I do have a Weber 32/36 (No emissions for me) on my car though. 1986 GL Sedan.

two85s Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Yeah thanks Rugby, I wish webers were an option for me, I've got two 32/36 DGV, I think that's what they are, on a 240z that are going to be sitting around when I put that cars original SU carbs back on it. Anyway, for now I will just start being my own mechanic for the wagons. I can save labor $$$ for parts $$$, and have the satisfaction from doing it myself. Thanks Aaron.
