donald893 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Did subaru make a EA81 4wd d/r 2dr coupe? if they did how rare are they? if they did make it i want to find one someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 No, they didnt. The only Coupe that was 4wd was the 83/84 Turbo Coupe, and it was a 3AT with single range 4wd. It would be quite simple to take a 5spd 2wd Coupe and convert it to 4wd D/R. A little bit harder if its a AT tho. They did have a 4wd Sedan, not sure what year, or if it had a S/R or D/R.

Johnnyboy Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 YES, they did make them ;-) I have a 1983 EA81 twin carb 4WD D/R 4 speed 2 door Coupe, all factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Most of the people that post on this Board are form the States. I think he was asking if they imported one here. Both OZ and NZ got different imports than we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyboy Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 yea, i'm aware of that.. but they still made them aye, thats what he asked;) Don't feel like i shut you down or anything, just saying my bit, about what i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Well, we certaintly have the stuff here to make one just like yours. We can get the dual intakes and we have lots of EA81 Coupes available. Is your a 4spd? And dont worry, I'll admit when I'm wrong. This was a generalized question, so it can apply to the whole planet I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyboy Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 not the "most" common car on the road around here :cool: But there are a few around town still... I'm after a hatch now.. they just never seemed to make it to NZ.. I've only ever seen ONE in person in my entire life! But oh yes.. it will be mine...

Turbone Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Dont feel bad, theres only 2 Hatches in all of OZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyboy Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Yes, standard D/R 4 speed, just like in the brumby's (brats) Yea, you could certainly make one out of parts ... I've got a Supercharged EA81 ( MR2 supercharger ) which I'm thinking of placing in it... but it's kinda nice to leave it old skool original with the twin carbs. It's got a hot cam, so it revs like mad and has such a wicked "twin carb" sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyboy Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Only 2 in Oz... jeepers.. i don't have a hope then! Perhaps i should look at importing from the states? well, i'd have to be super keen to do that i guess due to the cost involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Well, its sure got me thinking again:banghead: Coupe with 3in lift and EJ22 conversion. Who wants to buy my Hatch for $1500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald893 Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 ok thanks i guess i'll just look for a fwd one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyboy Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 On the subject of lifts.. i've been wondering about putting a 6 inch lift in the coupe, i enjoy the offroad more than onroad, hence the lift and mods to the brumby.. but i just figured a hatch would just be a better option than the coupe. I guess that comes down to personal preference. The hatchs have a shorter arse than any other model don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyboy Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Sorry Donald.. i think i hijacked your thread. Hard to NOT talk about these coupes:headbang: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 True, the Hatch does have a shorter departure angle. But the Coupe lifted would have a better coolness factor. I've been wanting to do it for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 This one is from OZ, dont recall who owns it. But it sure got me wanting one like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
