crazyhorse001 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I havent been on in awhile, but i have kept the subaru bug, with a brief detour into a jeep (very bad idea lol) I've recently aquired an 82 ea, 4spd, d/r. I'm wondering if there are any special needs for these lil guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitch de la Brat Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Keep oil in it, keep coolant in it, and don't let it bite the Honduhs. Especially if you feed it after midnight. Oh, and beware the curse of 30 year old aluminum. Do NOT over torque any of your engine bolts. Twitch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdweninger Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Change the transmission fluid and the rear diff fluid. I just picked up an '83 Hatchie... the rear diff was extremely low on fluid... about 8 oz. drained out. Should have been 32 oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Adding to Ben's great Advice: ...Oh, and beware the curse of 30 year old aluminum... I Must Add: Keep it "Cool" ~ Don't let it to Overheat. So Check the Coolin' System & Replace any Brittle Hose... etc. KInd Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaleda Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 If you live where they salt the roads, keep the undercarriage and rear wheel wells washed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
