Ultimate Subaru Message Board

Alaska GL, and Legacy owner joining up.


Recommended Posts

Howdy from the interior of Alaska IMG_20241027_075521.jpg.7de50aced7a652f38b3e70f80b46b5d1.jpgIMG_20241027_075525.jpg.e463073cd739fdce64cba9bf41e819da.jpg

Current main project is my 87 gl turbo XT. Found it rotting into the tundra at a friend's house after he passed. All fluids changed, and got it to start and run. Needs a lot of wiring terminations redone, and endless unknown other needs. I may be able to revive it with current engine or be doing a 2.0 swap.

 

I have 3 legacy's, all non interference 2.2s. 

95 auto, pushed out trans seals taking it up a trail here called chicken ridge( having trouble finding a JDM trans and rear diff for it now)

95 manual, sky blue. Replacing rusted fuel lines, and just finished the brake lines before winter hit. 

And my good old 93. Poor thing is known locally as the "Battle Subaru" it has been from Montana to Arkansas to California to Washington then to Alaska. She is on her third JDM trans.( Drove this poor thing hard it was my hunting rig)IMG_20241027_075547.jpg.fcb91dbad6c0114989d1239cc2334bf1.jpg

Last Subaru I HOPE to add is a justy, or a Subaru Sambar. 

 

Thanks to everyone who has come before me in the forum. The info here has made my Subaru journey possible.

Great story. Hey I’m cleaning out a lot of parts and I also love the 2.2 first edition. 
 

Let me know if you need some parts. I have a lot of stuff I’d be happy if you just covered the shipping. 
 

Justy and Sambar I’m distant from. Just never turned my wheels. My version of “cute” is the 70s boxer era. But I hope you enjoy your hunt. I see the 90s Sambars here on the east coast randomly.

So justy  is awd and will fit across the foot bridge to my house ;) and three cylinders, just weird enough to be cool. 

 

The Sambar at like $4k is way cheaper than a side by side for hunting. I'm just super nervous of the logistics from Port to freight forwarder up here. There are a lot of Mitsubishi K trucks local to be had, but I want one that says " Fuji heavy industries" under the hood. 

 

However worst snow machines in Alaska seem to all have Subaru engines in them ( Polaris)

 

I do need some 2.2 stuff. Mostly big stuff like transmission ;) exhaust system. Got those laying around ?

 

Lol, guess what. . . I am the guy already bidding on the left taillight for my 1993 legacy.

Sounds wild , like AK should I guess.

Geez, I do have some exhaust sections but I’d want to keep them until I’m not driving these anymore. I don’t think I have any transmission for that era, sadly. That’ll be a dilemma should I need one. But I do have an automatic from a 2000 Legacy GT which I think is a little more chunky than the normal line. Maybe that’s 4:11 ? 

Just a short drive from your place. ;) 

 

But yeah read the message and we’ll maybe make something happen with smaller items.
