The Beast I Drive Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 There is one different one in there ! There are 3 EA81 wagon wheels and 1 EA82 wagon wheel, from what it looks like in the pics. The EA82 wagon wheels have a much sharper curve on the spokes than the EA81 wagon wheels, and usually the EA81 wheels wont fit the fronts of an EA82 car unless you have modified the calipers or have almost no brake pad left... -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad_Brad Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 is it just me, or does the pic of the 4 wheels that dude just painted with the "hammered" paint look like 3 ea81 wheels and 1 ea82 wheel? You guys have some EAGLE eyes, yes.....one was a little different and I didn't notice until I got them sanded and painted. the "ea81" wagon wheels are the ones I kept and went back to the junk yard and got the 4th match. I noticed that the "ea82" wagon wheels seemed like a 2 piece and seemed easier to bent, so I stuck with the "ea81"s for better performance. P.s thanks for making me feel dumb:confused: and pointing it out!!!!! haha:banana: Nomad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akc Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 finished the CV axles and the wheel bearings. (the bearings were rusted and bad.) (yesterday) and today bought 4 new tires the vibrating when going is now gone. yeah and the weriod things that my car was doing are also gone yeah. it no longer shakes when going down the highway. When replacing the tires 9we have had it less then a year) it was noted that there was 2 different sizes and one size was very worn one even had rubber balls in the tire. but now I have a water leak (by the timing belt ?) and I need to fix the exhaust manifold better one of the bolts worked loose and left me.

YUP thats mine i still have it too, it works awesome!! next month it will be trailered up to our place in new hampshire that we rent for the winter for snowmobiling... it plows snow better than most full size trucks. the first year up there, the neighbors couldnt believe it. i was plowing the whole road (private rd) and our driveway with it.... i love that car.

akc Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 managed to snap off my tailpipe today. Still not sure how I did it. I think I messed up the whole exhaust system while I was at it but not sure I have exhaust coming out all over the underside of my car. It sounds really loud now can hardly hear the radio. I backed up uphill into a little pile of dirt it was just enough to snap it off. good thing I do not have to deal with emissions but I will to get this fixed. everyone can hear me coming now......:grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I wanted to wait till I had the other seat in, but I got sidetracked today and it was to dark to take a pic. But both seats are in......Mitsubishi Eclipse seats. They almost match the stock seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Rob, do I beleive my eyes? Mitsubishi in a Subaru OMG, isn't this illegal? Hahahaha Looks good though, pretty snugly? -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 They feel awesome. These were going in my RX, but they are simpler to install in a EA81. I'm sticking to Subaru seats in the RX, prob RS or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieDaddy80 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Just got done swapping the front CV axle today and fixing the exhuast manifolds. Thanks to Breeke the swap was a snap! Tommorow I finish with the exhaust and tune up garbage! Then im ready for the tree run! Thanks again Caleb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 RS seats will look badass in the RX. I'd like to get and install XT seats in the wagon some day. Heck, maybe even Legacy seats! I put 93 octane in tonight and I guess I had a pinging, well now its gone! Yay. Now I can push it up to 5000 with out any noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomad_Brad Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I'm turbo free and I choose not to run the "cheap o" gas. I still use supreme, its worth the extra cents on the dollar, just ask you scooby how much more it like the better gas, it will gladly tell you by performance. Plus the premium gases burn out junk and grim. saw a place in Oregon that sell 111, that stuff is for the race cars, pretty penny too, like $5.89 a gal. If i recall right.

()__1337_CRAYOLA__()> Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Wait why are you running 92 in your N/a cars... 92 just has a higher anti-knocking capacity I've never noticed a difference in premium vs regular in my little EA81 Soobie Rob I'm sure your RX would scare the living heck out of me I'll stick to my 70HP slow poke wagon not your monster ea82T :-p 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
