Yeah those auto reset C/Bs work a treat. I used a 50amp jobby for my car stereo amp. So much better and discrete than those wanky gold plated widgets.

Yeah I wouldn't give away anything that I have personally laboured over, so I would b prepared to pay reasonable wads. At least there are some other goodies available if I miss out on the big one. Oh and I sincerely hope the physical aspects of your encounter don't scar yourself or the others involv...

Well with my 92' wagon I get about 11 L/100km city cycle, consistantly. Mind you I have recently overhauled the carby which included re-bushing the throttle plate shaft so there is no undue play. Custom exhaust system (Engine pipes right through, 2" Cat etc) + the stuff you mentioned in your tune up...

Good to here you are making progress with it. As for the mechanics, this is so typical. Theres nothing difficult to comprehend with these engines. Hope they didn't sting you on $$$ for the job.

I wont lie to you, it is about a 3 hour job with the right tools and at least a Gregorys workshop manual to guide you if have not done this before. And yes a mobile mechanic worth his weight could easily do it, but we buy these subarus because WE can and enjoy doing service and repairs ourselves. In...

Heres a thought Have you snapped the Cam timing belt for #'s 2+4 cylinders. Had this hapen to me once on the motorway at 100km/h. had the similar symptoms you describe. If you cant get the engine to fire at all this is prob the reason. Remove dizzy cap and watch it while someone cranks the engine. i...

With a standard EA82T never rebuilt, (Given lifetime maintenance and overall condiotion) the higher the boost over standard (factory) the shorter the life and reliabilty compromised.
