Cool articles , thanks ! Much in agreement in the FE Coupe. The second article I think we all have a favorite we’d like to see in that list. Some that come to mind: an RX three door, 1977 Brat , yes 1977 not 78. , or an 81 with dual range. Some mighty fine newer gen rides there , just I’m so far behind and avoid the newer cars in general. Kind of like looking at young ladies that would cost a fortune and be difficult down the line.

Curious too. Please post back. So that’s a Rock Auto purchase , right ?

New ? Hmmm , mostly same old same old , paying bills , kids in college , miserable schedule I live , but the beer is great these days so why complain ?

Dave !!!!!! good to see you back here. Hi to Melissa!!

Generally found from late 79 production-wise thru the end of the 1600 , I’m guessing 1987 the latest here in the States. 80-84 sedans wagons hardtops coupe later for the hatchback which was labeled an STD , or fleet car for the latter years. I have thought they were long finished (1600) and yet I had come across one of those later hatchbacks in a boneyard and was surprised for sure. They came with rubber mats instead of carpet , and generally not much in features and a very “wipe able” interior. And they became “managed” unlike the early gen.

I don’t think so. I know what you mean , not just the KC number etc , but these older ones don’t have a secondary number as far as I could see. Outside chance I missed something but I don’t think so. These are mostly about 30 years old or more.

This shows a huge listing but not going back far enough and also not showing old part numbers as best as I can see. https://kyb.ru/docs/1/58e20fb4f94a7c983f1cd70e.pdf If you see better than I can - and take the time - please let me know if you see the earlier series listed anywhere. Those newer part numbers don’t help me. “Klassic” series does NOT show Subaru in the list.

Someone on this board had posted great info a while back but I fail in my searching for that post. Recently dug out from storage of a large lot of NOS parts we acquired in 2007 , several shocks and struts. Thanks for any hep. Yes I have tried the KYB sites and they don’t even have Subaru in the drop down. These are all pertaining to Subarus from 1972- to - second gen. I have some gas adjust type as well as stock replacements. KC 2024 KG 4782 KG 4644 Y26 Thanks again.

Good to see folks returning to the more hospitable message board. And also nice to see you’re pushing around the same old ride. I’m in that league too. Enjoy !

Sorry for lack of precise info but I am working on it. Also sorry to send you over to eBay but that’s where there are for better or worse. Search me out - cashingmystuffin - and scroll through my items. As time permits I’ll be listing an incredible amount of New Old Stock genuine Subaru parts from 1968-1979 mostly. For now I managed to pull some suspension units during a quick stop at storage. Thanks for looking. Enjoy!

You’re welcome. Figured you and other would enjoy that one. TWO clocks !! Same but different mount. Lol Earl has those early “Subaru” decals he reproduced. He is/was “pooparu” on here. You can catch him on the FB groups especially the Old School Subaru Group which I think he created. And again , I’m pretty sure that one is for 1972/73. And that wagon although not fully displayed is a Tailgate wagon , very rare and totally bit chin. As I find them I’ll do my best to post them up. I have too much of that stuff.

Came across a 1973 accessories catalog but I am as usual having trouble getting an easy upload. Anybody want to accept them in an email etc and paste them here ? I’m not that old but apparently stupid enough that I can’t easily see how to reduce pics size on my I phone 8 or whatever it is.

Sweet !

Not sure why this is adding the quote when I didn’t intend on it. But anyways , yeah , some of us old hardcores have the options catalogs etc etc etc In fact I am cleaning house of all sorts of items as well as new old stock and great used parts. Enjoy !

No Levorg ! Those bastids !! Never forget the son of a @&$&@ sales bag when I walked into the showroom and asked about a Legacy wagon around that era mentioned above. That dummy was so dipped in his training he refused to acknowledge there were previously Legacy wagons. And naturally he was a tad snotty. Oh to be able to smack the $#|+ out of that punk !!! Sorry , just had to vent.

There are factory service manuals out there online and physical copies as well.

It won’t take long to get a thorough education on 1970’s Subarus. What you have is considered a Stage one car. In 1977 Subaru finished one body run and began a new one , hence Stage one 1977 and Stage two 1977. So along the way the previous era was declared stage one (1972-77) and then stage two (1977-79). And the first Brat is associated to stage two and runs up through 1981. 1982 begins a next gen for the Brat. 1980 begins a new gen for the cars. Laughable history - 1973 had 3 stages within that year. It’s own story. So the car you’re looking at being stage two definitely came with a 1600 You can use that engine and drivetrain in your car. They are similar in size and you might not even need the 1600 crossmember , but if the opportunity is there it wouldn’t hurt to have. Wheels are the same , brakes too.

Hey Brian good to see your name up on the board again. I associate you with the white RX.

Do a search here on this board and you may likely find the shippers we have used. I’ll be damned if I can recall the one I just used but I’ll try to find it. Ours went from Reno NV to Tempe AZ and it was reasonable, after shopping many, and they were excellent all around on time , respect for the vehicle , etc. If you do an online search don’t accept the first wave , and it’ll be a tidal wave , you’ll get folks pounding on your email door. What did you buy ?

https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pts/d/milford-vintage-subaru-parts-new-old/7213115897.html that’s me https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pts/d/milford-1970s-subaru-nos-brat-coupe/7213119379.html that’s me too you can PM here or find me on eBay as mentioned in your other post. I have a major portion of your list.

And there he is. Be sure to check my stuff on eBay as time goes on. Right now I’m too busy and holding off since the buyers are also holding off somewhat. “cashingmystuffin” on eBay. Yeah I don’t like eBay either but in general I have to be there. I have loads of new old stock. Also have lots of great used too.All pertaining to the 1970’s. Let Skylar take care of you for now and best of luck with it.

I have all of that list. But I’m in CT. it’s been a real pain since one guy caused me to box everything up for him to purchase a huge lot. I just haven’t had any time to open boxes and get back to selling properly. also there’s a guy on one of the face dook groups who has the tail lights and some stuff but his prices were a bit high. Pretty sure he is here too. give me some time and I’ll see what I can put together. There’s at least two other guys asking about a front windshield and I’m still trying to make time to crate one up. So keep looking or be patient. I just don’t have a lot of spare time.

Angled driver gets those three bolts/screws up by the windshield. Sort of amazed to see this thread. I don’t have any issue at all with gen one and also did gen two and first gen Legacy all with no issues as a hack user and abuser. Sorry , but to me those mentioned aren’t all that difficult. Until you split the heater box. Still not a horror show if you keep your mind to it and are orderly. I would run scared from a more contemporary Subaru dash for sure.

Your bio reads well enough , thanks for that. 1990 2.2 , that’s the one you’re talking about , yes ? We currently still run three of those cars (90-94 Legacys). I’m a little behind you at 57. Let us know what they’re doing. Or maybe you did elsewhere and I haven’t seen it yet.
