  1. Anyone??? I just want to make this thing keep up with a stock Impreza WRX STI through the corners and have fun with it. I realized I said 4WD, but I ment AWD:banghead: Anyone with ANY input would be greatly appreciated.
  2. I have a line on an 83 Coupe and would love to turn it into a canyon carver. Does anyone know where/ how I can lower this so it sits better and any ways to improve the handling (corner carving) ability:confused: . Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will be converting it to AWD so that should help it some, but not enough for me.
  3. No, I live in Jackson. As for the struts, I'll pull them next weekend and make me an offer. They will be coming off of a Brat. Just found out my friend ALSO has a 85 Hatch 2wd auto in Stockton he needs to get rid of, only down sides being the speedo got oiled up and there are NO shox. But as for myself, I'll be picking up the Wagon instead of the Brat for now and possibly the 83 2door 2wd auto if I can find a way to convert it into an Impreza style canyon carver and convert to AWD w/a EJ20T & 5speed :headbang:
  4. I have a line on a dirt cheap 84 2 door sedan and I was thinking of converting it over to an Impreza STI style canyon carver. What suspension/ underpinnings parts interchange with the ea81 style body besides the ea82 crossmember? I would like to lower it and put in an EJ20T and 5 speed and keep it four wheel drive. Is this possible without spending an arm and a leg in custom fabrication work? If not, does anyone know where to get a lowering kit for an ea81, not more than 2 inches? Either that or any ideas to make it handle better??
  5. I'm 44 miles SE of Sac off Hwy 16. He is leaving the country next month for a while so let me know what you need ASAP and I'll ask him.
  6. UPDATE- Well I went and talked to the gentleman today about his Subies and he's gonna make me a list of ALL the Subie stuff he's willin' to let go of. I know he's got one Brat he's parting out (got rearended by an RV ) a 78 and 79 Brat, one locked up 84? Brat, and an 86 w/ shell besides the 85 I might get as well as an 84 Wagon. He has more wagons and an 84?GL and engines and trannies as well as misc. other goodies (including a Turbo Wagon and other Turbo blocks:brow: ). Also, where can I find patch panels for the 85 Brat for the passenger rear quarter behind the wheelwell opening? I cannot figure out how to post pictures w/o them already being on a web page and they are not, nor will be due to the fact that I don't have nor want one. Soon, people, soon I will have my projects and get them DONE:headbang: Subieman- No, I'm up in them thar hills, not valleys, SE of SacTown
  7. I will have to ask the gentleman first for his permission, and if possible grab pics of all his soobs (he's got a few). As for location.... good ol NorCal. By the way, I've only seen as big as a 4/3 lift for the EA81. Does anyone actually make a 6" for the 81 or am I into custom territory w/o realizing it? If so, how hard is it REALLY??? I'd prefer all suspension or 2" body lift MAX.
  8. Sorry, I'm a noob here and to Subarus, but I was wondering about the BEST year of all the Brats. I have access to six (yes 6) Brats of various years and conditions and other body styles as well. My plans are an EJ swap, 6 inch Lift and playing in the snow. I'd eventually like to do a bigger (8 inch) lift and put the 720 'case under it, but that is when I have more $$$$. What things should I look at when picking (besides having a manual tranny) out one besides rust? Any help or input would be greatly appreciated. Also, where do I find replacement parts for the suspension/ drivetrain besides a junkyard? And last, has anyone ever lowered or know where to get a kit to lower an 80's/ early 90's Sube?
