How would i go about lowering my wagon? Just ordering some new struts. mounts and a universal coil over kit?

One thing im wondering about this car is how to get the fuel guage working again...or am i better off retrofitting an aftermarket fuel guage of some sort?

I noticed mention of these wheels on here doing a search for wheels and i was wondering if there is a site for them to look at these wheels...also what needs to be done to a Chevy wheel to adapt it to my DL?

The DL is home!!!...Picked it up tonight and i must say that little EA82 is a torquey little motor.

I like the look of no racks on the car but i would also like to be able to add one when i need one with something like what you mentioned. Are these aftermarket racks still avalable?

Heh this new subie owner was already considering the high compression EA82 route earlier today and the DL isnt even home yet.

Any updates on this thing?

Its a Pontiac Wave not vibe..the Pontiac twin to the Chevy aveo. I know the Wave has a 4x100 bolt pattern. But i have three sets of wheels for this car. One of which is a set of Elite Racing Wheels that are 16" that have something at least 3 or 4 different patterns on the hub. One of which is 4x100 but im not sure what the other patterns on the wheel are. What i may do when i get the DL home is pull one of these Elite wheels off and try fitting it to the Sube..if it works i guess im looking for a different set of wheels for the Wave.

About the only way i would consider going with anything other then the 13"s is if i can find larger wheels in the correct 4 bolt pattern. I have a set of 16" wheels on the Wave i also own with multi patterns but im going to have to check if the 4 x 140 pattern is one of them...hoping it is then it gives me a reason to look at other wheels for the pontiac.

Heres a couple pics of the DL

I will see about the pics tonight. One thing im debating with the area i live in is the addition of a 2" lift kit since i know they are avalable. that shouldnt affect much should it? I plan on keeping the 13" wheels and around the same overall tire size so other then the lifted height not much should be changed.

Went and took another look at the Subaru today and found out that it is in fact a DL. So that clarifys things. I also found out it has a new clutch and clutch cable along with a new muffler and a pair of spare winter tires and wheels...all in all im thinking im doing alright for only $500.

The metal mesh grill would probably look better if it was spaced out to meet with the hoods edge i suspect. Gonna have to look into it other then that with it being recessed like it is it does give me an excuse to mount aux lights to the tabs from the original grille and have myself a rally style subie...

Wasnt too sure if that was the cars original front end style or not given i knew it had a run in with a deer at one point. (the accident i mentioned in the first post) Now that i know thats a standard front end i think i know what one of the first upgrades i will be making to it will be. Prior to the Wave i had an 87 Cavalier Z24 and this car had the 4 headlights as well with H4 Housings in place of the standard ones. The GL will be getting these same kind of housings to make repalcement even easier. Now i know the car does require a front grille since all it has there now is a piece of black expanded mesh. What should i be looking for for replacement grilles?

Hey all... Im about to become the new owner of a Subaru GL Wagon. However i have some questions about the car...well the model in general. The owners say its an 89 and the Fuel Injected EA82 supports this. However the car has the older 4 headlight front end on it...then again the owners did say it had been in an accident and had the front end of another 'bu added to it so thats what i suspect is the reason for this...Other then those little bits what all do i really need to know about these cars before diving in head first into Subaru Ownership. The car in question is a FWD 5 speed.
