Haha lazyness The wider wheels will complete the look plus will of course give you a bit more stable cornering ability (No much, but some) the other thing is those struts (Kinda soft fo real track use) unless you changed the shocks to gas charged KYBs? Dunno how your gonna drop it for better handeling, unless you swap everything to Impreza componets. Hope to see more and hear some more plans ! -Tom -
Now your cooking! Looks good, what type of wheels are you gonna go with and how big of a O.D? Brain, the thing with adding the xmember block is, the steering rod tha gos to the steering box needs to be extended - So thats why I didn't used the xmember blocks. It would be nice to do that though, to keep the axle angle more stock so theres not alot of stress on them. Ben, yes theres not alot of room in the tower to get a block up in there and bolted to the strut top, so just unbolting the strut from the tower isn't enough (Control arm needs to go some way, shape, or form.) -Tom

You still need to remove the DOJ side of the axle from the tranny spline because the axle will only go down so far before the axle shft hits the crossmember where the pivet point of the control arm gos. This was 1 of the issues I had when I did the lift. So after you follow these steps that Brain posted also remove the DOJ so you will have all the room and movabilty you need to get that block ontop of the strut and bolted down. -Tom

Fender flares? Please do tell! -Tom

I like the cleaness of it now - without the body kit peices and without a lip or wing on the trunk. Looks good! -Tom

The new hatch looks great, Wonder why you and Bill had the same color and they both fit the same! WTH is with that? -Tom

Yes, very ture. in s ome countrys the 1600 EA71 was standard in the EA82 style cars. So yep it was continued into the late 80s - but its still 70s technology carried on to a later date (Just like the EA82s, carried on till '94) -Tom

What kind of gas milage do you get?
TheLoyale replied to akc's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
LAMO What! That just struck me as funny. I dunno exact MPG, but I'm guessing 20 city 25 or so highway. I can drive 80miles on highway speeds and only suck about 1/4 tank. '92 EA82 SPFI 3AT 26" tires and 14" steelies I also don't baby it alot, most time shifts above 3000 in around town, runs at 3500 doing 55-60mph. -Tom -
Really this question should be asked in the "50s - 70s gen forum" this forum is really for anything EA81 to anything pre-EJ. Best of luck on finding your answer -Tom

A few pics from this last week on things I've done. Restored and repainted the bracket and all the screws for it. Same with the bracket for the fuel filter POR-15'ed the rear tool box area Installed high watt headlights: Luminics Titanium White 120/140w 5,500k Removed all the A/C lines and thae A/C Condenser, only thing left is the A/C pump. Popped on my fender moldings I pulled at "Subaru Heaven" I think thats about it, and heres a video of it Click me! -Tom

Hey thats a good idea, I totaly forgot about that switch (Never use it) -Tom
-
That'll be cool, hope you can figure out the wiring (Hay stack) Check to see if your getting good ground for the horn - as the horn relies on ground in order to sound. But my guess is the horns then selfs are rusted closed. Good luck!

So are you an owner of a peice of German machinery yet?
Hmm, you never hear anyone atemp to drop a Subaru Flat-6 into a Porchse or visa versa. Oh! I know - replace GMs flat-6 in the Corvair with a EZ30 from a Tribeca whoot lol.
I mean if people can stuff a EJ25 into a VW - these others can be done aswell. btw, have you seen that gen 1 Legacy one youtube that has a 350 small block IIRC! insane.

The Valves and ports may have change aswell. -Tom

Wow amazing view! I so want to visit Australia and New Zealand - aswell as Wellington. Thank god you knew who I was talking about haha, yes it is a great movie. I like when he blew every one away - and he didn't even get it out of 2nd gear yet lol. -Tom
-
Aaa, thanks for the insight! NZ is an awesome place. Little history: There was a great man from New Zealand by the name of Burt Monroe. He came to the U.S in the late 50s to take his 1920s Indian motorbike on the Saltflats to push the bike to the limit and set a record - which still stands till this day for that class of vehicle and cc. -Tom

In one of those mystical far away places with RHD I second that - very nice! -Tom

I like the thought of keyless entry! Do the lights flash when you push the button? I don't like Remote Start, Seen it fail 1 to many times (Even O.E equipped systems) Selenoid sticks on grinding the hell out of your flywheel, something interferes with a signal and your car sits in the parking lot for hours idleing. But I do like keyless and a door intrusion alarm! -Tom

Jeff, okaydokay - I just like how they look. Funny thing is, I've only been to HF once. The one we have is kinda in a crap area (Ghettoish) But my mom works down there and drives an FJ, so it can't be all that bad (Depending on time of day) Steawd, awesome shots! I'd love to see a view like that in person! Scott, +1 that rig has served you well! Plus it looks down right cool. -Tom
-
Haha, got some problems do we? :-p
Yea theres alot of ricers around here (More are Mexicans and dumb kids) stick a big rump roast muffler that doesn't even fit under the car right, and stick some neon crap on it (Guess I should have done that to my wagon, since thats whats in LAMO!)
So how come you havn't went with 14s on the Brat? I must admit, its awesome having 14" wheels, nice size tires and great. Plus theres soooo many options for 14"ers, theres alot of performancie tires out there plus a decent amount of Aggressive ones aswell. I think the 14s fit the style of any Brat better (Just fills in the wheel well better) I dunno why Subaru didn't use 14s on the EA82s and Brats of the time? Makes more sence I think.

Replaced the top gasket on the Throttle body yesterday - might do the lower gasket another day (Since I have the entire gasket kit for the Throttle body) -Tom

Yea looks mint... No wheeling that rig Jeff, what are those two lights on top of ur rig? Where did you pick them up at? Are they just a tractor light? -Tom

So, who drove that clean silver EA81 wagon? I didn't see it anymore other then at Dennys.

True, from the pics I've seen. Looks really mucky, I like the garbage bag raincoat Haha.
