987687 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 well it depends on who owned them before i get them or ryan gets them. this xt has been a problem child so to speak from day one. alot of it was from previuos owner. and the xt was from new jersey. ryan bought the xt first then i got it from him. he fixed eletrical and mechincal issue. they stripped tensioner bolts for the timing belts. and instead of fixing it. the rewired the injectors to match instead of retiming it. :-\ and most of the older subarus here. are mostly fwd. and thats it. in NC. i dont think you will no where near the problems we do here. At least you don't have ea82 rear tubeframes rust so badly wheels almost fall off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenley Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Got the lifted '84 wagon running with a beastly 1987 49-states EA81 engine. Addressed the ridiculous amount of vacuum leaks/3k idle. Power mirror rewiring (pups, uggg) New radiator and a really nice dual electric fan set to a switch. Got the third eye wired up to the stock switch. Ready for tabs! i'm stoked, as she was rode hard and put away filthy, years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subynut Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Replaced an axle, replaced the rear view mirror, relocated the fuel filter to a better spot, cleaned up a little wiring, and cleaned the undercarriage on my blue wagon. Still need to do rear struts and the heater core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Finally got the trans in my SVX, its only taken 2yrs Now to install the timing belt kit and waterpump and drop the engine in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbeerd Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) Made a new pitchbar for the lowered x-member. Welding could be bter but eh, who cares driving the car with the crossmember lowered made a huge difference, since my suspension is kinda mushy, when i got on the gas the front end lifts up a bit from the ej25 torque and once i hit like 3000 rpms the power just wasnt there. well.. my axles were stretched out to the max. (already ripped a boot on my new F'in axle!; pre blocks) the outback lift blocks lowered the crossmember probably like 1-1.25". the steering joint i used was from a 98 impreza, but the alignment holes were different so i had to pull my steering wheel and aim it right.

TheLoyale Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Holy Cow! Why? ... Broken Timin' Belts? Do you wanna buy it? ... seems to be a Fun restoration Project. Chances are the floorboard is now like swiss cheese (Or will be once you sit in it) Midwest/east coast is hard on these uni-bodies for sure. Doesn't look to have a hood, I wonder whats grown around the motor lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruJawn Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) my timing belts are fine. the hood is there just not on. only the engine block plus the internals are there. i found out who owned it and gonna try to get a hold of him to see if he'll get rid of it. i want to buy it for the good parts that are on it. Less than 5 miles away from me. Edited September 13, 2011 by SubaruJawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skysm182 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 just got done installing the nearly brand-new radiator i got from pick n pull over the weekend. also got the brackets to delete my a/c and uninstalled that stuff since it didn't work. It really cleaned up the engine compartment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
