Wow that's a keeper there, I thought everything was cool with my wife to buy my new RX..let's see here it's 2 days later and she's insisting I sell the DL now funny how that came around after I bought the RX and not before. Do it before she changes her mind!

I have some work to be done on my new sube...but if I get enough done in time I will show up in the granddaddy of the WRX's my new RX! (makes way more sense to show up in that than the DL). You can basically count me in though, Mills is within 10mins of my house.

Bump for the better pics, and info added to orignal post.

Just got back from a 3 hour round trip drive to pick up my new 88 RX. Goes to show after months of waiting and searching you will find it. 88 RX Full Time 4 Wheel, Turbo, LSD, Locking Diff, 5spd, Power Everything. Runs fantastic, needs some minor rust fixing and ding repair. Odometer says 87k, I'm positive that's not actual but odometer was reset at new engine?(Further investigation needed but who cares it's an RX, and exactly what I was looking for). Spent $840 not great but not bad either, sorry it's late better pics tomorrow guys. UPDATE: Took it in to the brother's shop for full engine inspection (compression, leak-down, etc)..Came back with spec and no problems, exactly what I wanted to hear! Seems the 87k on the engine is most likely correct. Don't get me wrong needs some work, seats need recovering, heat/air control isn't working (temp switch is stuck won't move), minor electrical gremlins, rust, and so on. But is mechanically sound. Updated my gallery with some much better pics... Driver Side Passenger Side Rear End Engine Odometer 87k? Engine maybe, car I don't think so Some of the rust

I laugh at myself all the time so that's no problem, didn't really mean it that way, just kinda out of place. Have passed on the info to my RS and WRX driving friends, and sure I will show up. Just might be in the wife's legacy and not the DL.

Hmm show up to a mainly WRX meet in a 88 DL sedan...that could be big laugh for everyone there. But since it's right down the street I may drop by to check em all out.

Aye, well same..not from here but do live here...and I married a native so that kinda makes me a native.

Yep that's right got the DL some front end support (I.E. Bra). Took awhile on ebay to find it, but was worth it. Looks good, and hides the small smash on the fender that I haven't fixed yet, bonus! Closer picture of just the bra in my gallery. The 15 year old Subaru decal (bra was new in box) actually still stuck to the bra, I'm amazed.

Give me a ring if you a need an internet machine, I can dig up a computer for ya. (720)985-3238-Keith

If my research has done me any good (no guarantees) the answer is yes and yes. With virtually no problems, most everything bolts right in, but I think there is a small amount of drilling to be done to hang the rear diff(bolt holes don't exist on the 2wd cars, just the indents for them). As said above it will be a ton of parts, a 4wd dead parts car would be nice to have around for it. I have considered doing the same to my DL sedan but haven't decided if it's actually worth it. Your GL-10 on the other hand sounds like it would be. On the topic of the auto trans, yea everyone dogs them and as a driver of one (and have owned 3) they aren't the best, but do work. I find it great in my daily traffic driver, but hit the highway or mountains and I start grumbling about it. Well maintained they will last a long time, just remember no matter what anyone says..To each his/her own..nough said.

Get to work! Would like to see an early and wet winter this year. We all know we could use it. <==Banana Snow Dance On a side note I thought Eyesore's Wag is dying for a EJ22 conversion, would just seem to fit perfect with that car.

Yea I took a shower and the water was Red from all the dust! That's what I get for having my windows down and being behind you all during the run out of the parking lot. Was a blast though.

Just got home from the meet and thought I would throw up the pictures from it before I run my daughter off to a b-day party. Note: some pictures were taken by my 7yr old daughter. Was great to meet you all and see some real nice cars. Can check out the pictures here 2004 Colorado Subaru Meet OR On USMB's gallery Colorado Subaru Meet Whichever one works. Sure some other people got some better pics too my camera isn't the best.

Well let me be the first to say Welcome! Hope you can make it out to the meet, can always try to catch up with us at the Sonic in Golden too...anyways welcome to USMB.

Sure it will work if you take the motor out of a hatch... If you need a cap & rotor just let me know, I can pick em up from the local carquest warehouse which is right down the street and give em to ya at the meet.

Bah! I just scrapped my cracked heads off my old GL-10 last week after sitting around for 2 years, figures that someone would come up with a use for them after I scrap em. Not a bad idea at all, sure some of the Gurus on here could come up with some ideas after doing that, and extra cooling for the turbo heads couldn't hurt at all.

Sweet another 2wd Subaru! We are getting rare you know..makes us special. Hmmm or crazy..but whatever nothing wrong with a 2wd for a daily driver. On the other hand at least you have a G instead of a D in front of the L

Aye, it's a good idea to do some nice clean but hefty welds. Don't want them breaking or you end up with a nice piece of shredded diff, also tending to destroy housings, etc. Speaking from exprience here, did that to my first truck.

Yea we have rust here in Colorado too, my truck is almost worse than that nissan. Hard to see with the wife's legacy in the way but I can put my fist through that hole in the bed. Oh well just my playtime & towing truck. Wasn't nearly that bad until they started using that Mag-Chloride "No Rust" stuff on the roads instead of gravel....yea right talk to me or any mechanic it defintely causes rust.

Umm I'll be there in the 88 DL' Sedan...Woo Exciting Might bring the wife's 94 Legacy Wag but not sure she wants to go yet.

Very, Very Nice!

Well in prep work for next Saturday's Colorado Meet I've been hard at work for the last week. Luckily I'm on vacation so had the time to do it. Car is starting to look much sharper, or at least I think. Thanks to the guys that have provided me with the wheels & lights to get it looking better. Ok updated list of what is done: Recover Backseat & Dash-Done New Turbo-Flow Muffler-Done New Wheels-Done! (Bye-bye cop black steelies) Replace Headlight Assembly-Done Replace Corner Light-Done Pictures of the all those updates in my gallery HERE Still needs to be done: Front fender Struts Paint job Will it be done by the meet..no vacation ends to soon, but will be done soon after.

Alright 1 week till the meet! Whew coming too quick, been working my rump roast off for the last week while on vacation to get the DL even close to being decent. Spread the word it's next Saturday!

Ok well in my attempts to fix the small crunch on driver's side front corner of my car I just made it worse. LOL. So the question is are the fenders the same off the 88(or so) DL's as GL's? Wagons to sedans? Etc.... Just asking since I had a hell of time locating the corner light for the DL and hoping the fenders are the same at least.

Just a bump and reminder...2 weeks till the Colorado Sept. 18th meet@Red Rocks/Sonic Check the Calendar for more information.
