  1. Whats the deal with this? Very nice and clean... Factory fog lamps too?
  2. Screw you, I posted first, so there for I get first pickins'. I'll toss you $100 and come pick it up. I'll even buy you a Six pack...
  3. $700+ mounted and Bal. I went with them over the SSRs because Superswamper was back ordered.
  4. Yes, EA81s are OHV with Pushrods. They probably make about the same power/torque being that they are both 1781cc motors. I personally think either motor is easy and cheap to maintain. Getting the correct parts for an EA81 is tuff sometimes (Just getting to old)
  5. IMO Offset is another word for Backspacing. (At least thats what I go by) As long as you go bigger then 13", nothing will interfere with the brake system, Calipers, Rotors and or Drums will all clear. Width will be the only issue, may hit the Spring perch or Strut body, Possible rubbing on Tierod end. But you can run a pretty wide tire on these.
  6. Yes, that is what I am talking about. Just like the old Landcruiser motors.
  7. I was under the impression that the Cams were gear driven? I haven't taken my engine apart yet lol.. That comes later
  8. Gears, no chain. Just like the Landcruisers. T-belts shouldn't break every 40,000. Mine were original with 110,000 on them and after being covered in oil for years lol, still holding Cracked as hell, but where holding.
  9. 2" is all you need (And will be the cheapest) SJRLift.com has kits, user name is "Scott In Bellingham". Bill Olmin used to make kits which were called (Boss) his user id is "The Beast I Drive" And no, a Brat kit will not work for a EA82, Brats and other EA81 bodied cars only use two bolts for the front struts, although I think the rear is the same. 45* degree bent brackets. 3" and up, and you will need to drop the engine and rear diff crossmembers to keep the axle geometry happy. And then add a longer steering joint and probably rad hoses and such. 2" is your best bet for a DD and a weekend project.
  10. With no lift, you are going to have some good rubbing issues with the tops of the fenders, going over train tracks, Driveways ect. Some lift is needed for anything bigger then 24" if I remember right. I have Zero rubber with my 2" lift and 27" tires, even at full lock and compression (Maybe a little with the plastic fender liner) but thats it. Here is a picture with 26.3" tires and no lift, did not drive well.
  11. Price depends on where in the country the person lives, Us out in the Mid-west would pay $2000+ for a clean well running/driving old gen Subaru, because we don't have many here anymore as they rotted away from neglect. Out in on the West coast the price would be lower cause they have so many out there. Some people give away Subarus for FREE out there! A lot of people don't like the Turbo EA82 motor, as the heads like to crack and blow HGs. But I think with decent treatment and low boost, it would be just a fine motor. You are also in the write spot for this thread -Tom
  12. Internal Timing gearing, and stronger head casts I suppose.
  13. Here here! This guy is now my best friend... Lol. I'd driven an SPFI EA82 for 6 years, and never had ONE issue ever. Simple upkeep and its a happy motor. Shes slow with the 3AT, but who cares, I can go almost anywhere.
  14. EA81s had Hydro lifters in 1984 on the Automatics, on Manuals the EA81 got Hydro lifters in 1985-up
  15. What is so special about the Justy? An Inline-3 cyl (Suzuki/Geo made the same thing) and a failing CVT for an Auto trans? If I wanted a 1000kg hatch back with 4WD, I'd just buy a Yugo.
  16. Haha, in a way it looks cool. But I dunno, not a fan. I like the wheels on the red Camero, the center stays stationary while the vehicle moves, looks trippy
  17. That is how they used to make white walls back in the day (If you didn't buy white walls) time consuming as hell haha. I talked to a dude who did it on his old Ford back when he was a teen. Tires look good James!
  18. Turbone will probably has the answers for you, as he has a Turbo EA82 RX coupe'. You can PM him after get a post count of 10. Or he might chime in here. Cheers, -Tom
  19. That is the way to do it! Get your moneys worth.
