  1. Any one know where I can grab a drivers seat cheap in good shape? Also anyone know if it's normal for an 86 4WD Wagon-carbed (What would be the model name a GL?) to make no power off the bottom end? Start to roll at 4500rpm. Last question, how stiff would you expect the clutch to be? My wife drives a standard fine but can't push my clutch to the floor! Way too stiff for her. Thanks people, Romcat
  2. Hi there: Does anyone know, if the right rear fender on an '86 4WD wagon can be easily replaced? Mine was dinged by a previous owner and then rusted through at the bottom. I'd like to replace rather than bondo it. Also, where can I find a replacement drivers seat? Mine is all torn on the door side and rather broken down do it leans to the left a bit. What would it cost? It doesn't accelerate at all below about 4500rpm, and I'll have to look at the plugs, timing etc. Getting up to 60 probably would take 30 sec's! It's carbed and making I guess about 86hp normally. Just doesn't feel right. It's my first Soob and I like it but it's a joke how slow it is. Still it starts easily enough and it was certified only 2 months ago and cost $600.00! It's gonna be a project. Cheers, G.
  3. OK Sube fella's what's the weber model commomnly used? I'm looking for better throughput but in drivable power, not maximum power at some unusable rpm. BTW is there a K&N filter for the stock airfilter box? Cheers, Romcat
  4. Hey: Just got an 86 4WD Wagon, my first Sube. I've seen mention on the web of swapping out the stock card (Hitachi?) for a Weber. Can anyone clue me in as to the pro's and con's? Thanks, Romcat
  5. Hi Listie's: I'm a first time Sube owner. Just bought an 86 4WD Wagon. It's pretty slow making me think though it starts easily enough that somethings off! I'll find it, probably timing or something. Anyway I'm looking for a club for Sube's in New Jersey and a good place to buy some body parts, right rear fender behind wheel, rocker under right rear door etc... Cheers, Romcat
