987687 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 2 years ago I had a start in -30. It collapsed an HLA or two because the valvetrain ticked for almost a year afterwards. Then suddenly shut up again one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLoyale Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I am guessing, based on the fuel gauge, that TheLoyale was not going to be doing a "tonne" for much longer... lol, the Fuel gauge doesn't work. Hoping its just the gauge and not the sending unit. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 lol the car is out of breath at that speed I have yet to hit 110 in my car but I've hit 105. Really, the car is not out of breather at 100mph/4000rpm. I can still go more, but didn't want to push it harder with an old leaking waterpump and timing belt with 200k tensioners. Maybe you should ungrade to an UEL header, seems to give you move pull at higher speeds. Is yours duel-port EJ22? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already got UEL headers and mine is a dual port. at 100 MPH I think my car is around 4300.. the manual is geared higher then the auto I know that. plus I've got two speeding tickets (under 100) and don't need anymore.. I was happy enough my car ins went down when I turned 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I could get up to 100mph a little quicker if I didn't have the lights and the lift on it. Edited January 24, 2011 by TheLoyale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 is your car a 2.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 is your car a 2.5? 2.2 Duel-port. The Automatics do put out a little more torque for pulling and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subaru_dude Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 My 1996 Outback tops out at 110mph. Stock exhaust, even still has BOTH cats. I think with some opened up exhaust and maybe even a little rework to the heads should hit 120 ya think? Mine's a 5spd. Anyway back on subject. In the process of doing a complete reseal on my 5spd d/r EA82 TOURING wagon. Recently I've been driving it more, way more fun to drive than the Outback. May retire the Outback for a while after I get this beast in PERFECT running order. Maybe even stick the sway-bar rear end I've got sitting around under there. And some disc brakes MAYBE. My aunt will probably end up with this car, she's in desperate need for a Soob. I may keep all these extra parts for a wagon of my own... so many possibilities. I love it.

katienadine Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Over the weekend I just about got my ea81 together. Just need to install the oil pump and water pump then she'll be dropped in hopefully next weekend I'll be driving the yellow monster. As for top speed I'm quite sure I still haven't found the governor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you misrepresented what had been done to the car, the onus is on him, not you. The only way to "know" if something has been done is to do it yourself. Otherwise it's a roll of the dice to drive 150 miles right off the bat. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwuollet Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 +1, unless you did something that would cause the timing belt to fail, it's his problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAha AHHAHAh AHAHAAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (pee wee hermin laugh) Guess what, I got my car down here, then got it licensed and GUESS WHAT! Same thing happened to me, timing belt failed.... Just got my license, stuck in a turn lane in a busy intersection about 20 feet from my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
