Turboturd Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 So I've been searching for a Subaru I've wanted for a while. I was about to bite the bullet and get a 05+ LGT, but than my friends mom gave me this beast. 86 GL-10 Turbo You can also see my CRX in there. Another project thats nearing an end, so might as well keep myself occupied. The engine is bad, It drinks up all the water I give it, and from what I read the 82t has common head cracking, and HG problems? I plan to just buy another 82t for winter to get it going, I don't need anything fast. I know about the EJ swaps, but don't wanna spend the money as of now. I love the look, being an 80's fan with my old 85 Corolla GT-S, and my current 88 CRX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Welcome to the board! Looks like a nice project you have going on. The turbo soobs are fun. I don't have one with a turbo.....yet. I like the looks of the 80's/early 90's cars too. They had that slight boxiness to them but when they're on the road today they have character compared to the super smooth lines and completely color matched everything on today's vehicles.

987687 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Nice car! I like the colour. It looks like it had the spoiler ripped off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Welcome to the USMB. If you get that other EA82T, replace the hg's, timing belts and water pump all at the same time. Much easier that way. While your replacing the hg's you can check the heads out, you may want to have them resurfaced. When you want to do the engine swap, go to the Retrofit forum and read up (lots). I bet you dont want to drive that CRX around in winter again, I saw how much snow you got last year (former resident of San Berdo Mtns).

obk25xt Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I was about to bite the bullet and get a 05+ LGT. If you wanna bite the bullet and buy a nice turbo car consider an Outback XT! Just so happens I have one I would like to sell. Oh, and welcome! Great board and lots of useful info! Learn to SEARCH! It'll save you a ton of waiting for answers!
