Re: M/T Starter

Stand corrected and previous post edited.

Curious as to whether the earlier gear reduction starters mount in the standard drive location.

Is your issue more of a subjective nature or have you...

Re: M/T Starter

Factoring in the mass of the clutch/flywheel as a possible subjective cause of your drag?
Do a battery hygrometer test, check the cables for corrosion, and do an amp check before ruling out a going...

Re: Unusual SVX Sighting

Forget the svx in whatever wrecking yard it lies in. What the hell is this thing on the hood supposed to be? I stared at it's website and I'm still scratching my head.

Usefullness?
Track life?...

Re: Unusual SVX Sighting

I'm sure there are some decent parts there, but what the hell is that thing?!? Motocross meets Tank Commander? Ad agency is really stretching for that one.

Re: Frozen Brakes?

Going with the pads on this one. Anything else and you'd notice a drag/pull from one side to the other, followed by the pungent smell of pad.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

True. But if you have a leak coming from elsewhere, now you've just created an area where the moisture can sit undisturbed and allowed to do it's thing on your panel.

Re: hood scoop thread

Looks like the used the front from a Chrysler Sebring or Dodge Avenger. Very Mitsubishi-esque rather than Subaru. Like the hard arched flares but not a fan of the front.

Rather than the center...

Re: Ignition Mechanism

My RS did this a few weeks back.

I pulled the covers for the steering column and found the cable for the trans, and tumbler pawl, had bound up locking the key in place. just a quick nudge with a...

Re: Transmission Hose - not connected?

Those are the breathers for the trans case.

Check the fluid between the trans and the front diff. Hopefully the shop was smart engough not to install ATF in both.

Re: CV headlight restorer

The 3M kit is the one I used to use at the shop, before the accident. I have their professional high-zoot unit but in reality the $15 starter kit is the same, just in a 1-time use kit.

Anyway, the...

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

Will do. Found in on the Seattle craigslist for $75. ACT XACT unit that's supposedly 14.1lbs from the quick google search. Still need to grab a stocker from a GC8 Impy in a wrecking yard for a...

Re: Impreza Brighton EG33 Swap on eBay

StatGSR, yes I'd like to follow up on that tach adapter.

Probably a pie in the sky, but I'm shooting to keep my a/c with my swap, albeit in a more forward location. It gets hot here in the shrub...

Re: Impreza Brighton EG33 Swap on eBay

Possibly a lurker. So much of that information is damn near spoonfed in stickys on 25rs.com or NABISCO or otherwise.

After all this time, I only belong to this svx forum and iwsti and my swap is...

That'd go real good with a punched-out throttle body.

Re: Impreza Brighton EG33 Swap on eBay

Wow. That is one strippy model. Not even a tach... Not that it'd work with the 6-cyl from what I read on this swap.

Sometimes, the hood is all that's left after someone beats you to the wrecking...

Re: Throttle body diameter?

Regardless of the naysayers, I'm undaunted in my approach.

Of course cams and exhaust are greatly beneficial, certainly moreso in a stock configuration, but sooner or later the intake will require...

Re: Crank Pulley Wrench--Subaru

Not likely. Every pic I've seen of the eg33's harmonic balancer has the 4 small holes recessed substantially.
An EJ22 is only recessed about a 1/4 inch.
An EJ25 has flat face.

Every Suby I've...

Re: WTB: Trans Dowel Pins

Cam,

Go run on down to a wrecking yard with a pair of vice grips. Any Suby, at least I'm sure of the modern ones, are all the same.

I have more than a few sitting in my toolbox.
