Subaru_kid Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Posted July 14, 2012 Doo ettt!! best thing ive done to my car! All AE82 sets fit each body shape of the model. BTW he has a website mrpltd.co.nz check it out if you want very bad and expensive ideas :P Our cars sound alike!! :lol: New plugs and leads, and oil and then just loosen the dizzy and twist it around till she runs right and then tighten it back up! helps if you have a timing light. That should sort everything out for the engine at least :) and Ive got a heap of 82 A/C gear out of my car if you need any of it... you can have it all! Quote

Omg stop it hmmm really? i was told there diff and plus i have 4 bolt struts :P hahahahahha yeah mine did a head gasket 20k after i bought it :/ then took me 6 mounths to get it done as i was lazy and didnt know how to do it :( (shit mechanic really :P) got it running and now it needs some love but I'm working on my ke ;) omg really??? wow thanks that would be great, did it all work before u ripped it off ??

Subaru_kid Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Posted July 14, 2012 on the AE82, if its 3 bolt or 4 bolt it doesnt matter. Where the 4th should be on the pov pack ones there is a rubber grommet. easy fix :P On the other hand, the rest of the FWD AE's share the same struts but have different tops to the 82... I know that feel. I bought the 82, got it on the road, 4 weeks later at winton i blow the gasket. Ragequit the motor and put the smallport in... Got her running 4 months later. 7 weeks after that, in melton i blow the gasket on the new motor. So much rage. I was this close to parting the car out at that point, luckily the TRD bulletproof gasket arrived before i lost it :) hahaha On the plus side, car clicked over 230xxx this week, 16,000 kays in about 7 months of driving it... not bad. A/C stuff just needed gassing according to the previous owner. I can bring whatever you need at CC&D next sunday? Quote
