Jack in Norfolk Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 What was the worst color subaru offered on the old gen subarus? I am not wild about the dark brown that was available. What are your opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack in Norfolk Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 I hope I didn't upset anyone that drives a brown one. I'm sure they could be made to look nice. The only ones i've seen around here is a rust bucket though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 my '78 was brown. It made for me not getting pulled over when I was doin fatty Bratty burnouts in RWD:brow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxrflyboy Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Brown is a perfect color! It's the same color as the rust! White, OTOH, makes ALL the rust show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gl-boost Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I would have to say brown also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subeman90 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I kinda like the brown myself....and that funky green they had back in the 80's was cool in my opinion. I once got a door for my 79 wagon from a doaner that as my dad called it "calf $hit green"...yeah that was dina ugly. Brown does hide the rust pretty well though.

75subie Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 how could you not like brown:D i think white, usually it makes subes look plain and boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75subie Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 that is the one i offered on here for $1800, but no one wanted it, so it went on ebay for $3500:slobber: damn i miss her:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack in Norfolk Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 how could you not like brown:D i think white, usually it makes subes look plain and boring. Wow! That is a really nice looking brat! I like white on subes. I think it goes with the white wagon wheels. I also like green both the dark, moss color and the light metallic. Although you never see either around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subiemech85 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 white is a major rust indicator color I don't have any plain white cars, the rx in stock paint is blah, the stripes make it bareable, the rust gives it character, and the mud belongs there the ski wagon, it's decorated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WagonsOnly Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Light metallic green on the '85s and '86es is by far the worst, in my humble opinion. I wasn't too fond of the orange on the Gen 1s either...but it grew on me after I got my '73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nkx Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 i am never buying another white car again! hard as hell to keep clean. it looks good for 24 hours after you wash it, and then its filthy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbobdole Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Theres no sleeper quite like a beige Turbo SW... right Noss? I saw white... how boring! What about "puke" that came on the SVXes? That brown purple... Ewwwww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimHansen Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Maroon. Totally an "old man" color. Any red that's not bright retina-scorching #FF0000 red just ain't gonna cut it for me. White and silver are pretty boring colors but not as aggressively unpleasant as maroon. I actually really liked the light metallic green. Any green that's not remotely "teal" is AOK with me. (ie, everything more towards yellow than blue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waimaks Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I would nearly have to say "Cashmeire Beige" My Brat is that colour and it sure does take a while to grow on you.... And the mud doesn't even show:mad: Woot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack in Norfolk Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 I'm not a fan of burgandy/maroon on any car. It doesn't look any worse on a subaru than it does on any other. But yeah, its pretty bad. I too kinda like the light metallic green but maybe its cuz I had never seen it until quite recently. My girlfriend says her sister had an old sube (not sure what kind or how old) that was kind of a dark greenish blue. I have pointed out several subes and said "is that it?" and she always says no. It could have been custom painted by a previous owner or it could be that I just haven;t seen one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack in Norfolk Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 c'mon, how could you guys not like maroon!? :lol: sorry i had to do it: Actually that is a really nice looking car! The other maroon "rule beater" is the ea82 turbo GL10 out west that I have seen pics of. He's got "motion" rims and it looks great. Oh, and Bucky 92's coupe. It could be poo-brown with vomit green polka dots and it would still be pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 sold that one to mr. fishums and it is getting hopped up real nice, in the end, the ea81 motor he is building is supposed to be putting out around 120hp (+/-) and that is without a turbo or supercharger. that car was a beauty, not a spec of rust on it:D came from Oregon, gotta love the west coast.

Jack in Norfolk Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 How is he getting 120 hp from a naturally aspirated ea81? is he using those dual ported airplane heads? Bored over? big cams? do tell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
