help needed on a 1.8 non turbo sportwagon

[monsterfg]

hi,need to pick some brains out there,i have knocking on turning and cornering under acceleration which points towards driveshafts but does anyone know if the driveshafts are the same on a non turbo and a turbo.they look identical but theres no haynes for help?also what oil is recommended,its a 94 reg.its my first subaru so not sure if semi 10/30 ok or do i need thinner.thanks in advance.

Hi! mate, welcome to the club[Y].... i used to use 15/40 in my turbo wagon...but now 22b-andy does my oil service coz you get a free hot chocolate while you wait []..as for the drive shafts....i would imagine they are the same fitment.. but unsure really..

now, have you a piccy of your motor mate, coz i'm quite local and up untill last July i lived in point clear bay, i'm always in and out of clacton so may of seen you about, i have a green classic uk turbo wagon as below.[]

thanks guys,i bought a couple of used driveshafts for £25 delivered so ill give em a try when they arrive.if they dont fit i can sell and wont loose much.as for my wagon its almost totally std,ive just brought a wrx bonnet as i already had a set of vents ready to drop in which should arrive this week.also picked up some wrx classic rims for peanuts so itll start to look a bit tidier.itll do me till i save for a proper wrx.just changed jobs at xmas so sunk my dosh into that as im self employed now but its my first subaru and im hooked.best car ive ever owned,(mind you,most of them were fords!haha)the handling is superb so i cant wait to get a real wrx later on.also got an induction kit on it but need to change the rear box,i believe i read somewhere that most subaru backboxes will fit?

hi mark,its a silver wagon with black vents on,ill sort out a pic when i get a mo,the reg ends wgn.

cheers

hi tony, sure i've seen you about, the car is distingtive, i'll keep my eye out for you, and i'll find a piccy of mine just incase you pass me!!....all you need is a bonett, grill, and bumper...and that'll look like a turbo[Y]....b/ boxes you can pick up cheap now,.. i got an old 3.5" magnex in me garden .... my first box i bought!!.. but got a TSL group n fitted now and was only £175 new..very good value and quality.

thanks mark,ill keep a look out for you too.v nice wagon.[Y][H].picked up a grill last night off good old ebay for £14 and some clear repeaters.so im just keeping an eye out for a cheap backbox and then a front bumper and skirts after.ill post a revised picture once bonnet & grill etc fitted.

tony.

grill,bonnet and clear repeaters done,still after a cheap backbox and looking for a bumper too looks a better already though i think.

[insane clown]

it's getting there matey!....front bumper with fog lights would sort that end out, what sort of back box you after?...somthing like a jap style 4.5" would sound lovely, []

hi mark,yep,something to make it burble would be good! not sure the wife would agree,she thinks the induction filters loud enough,it is silly loud for a filter though,she can hear me coming home two roads away.lol.anything would be an improvement on the standard peashooter,its full of rust too!
