Ryanb Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 As some of you know I was looking for a hatch for awhile. I finally found one and now basically when ever I'm not working, and the weather is half way decent, I'm working on this car. I just wanted to toss out some pics of the progress.

Ryanb Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 It's still in the works, but so far I've done: 3" lift 28.5 swampers on chrome yota rims, drilled A- bar's been stripped and re-painted ( from the wagon) A set of fog light and a set of off road lights. I hope to add one more set to the rack. Thule roof rack Brand new grounds and powers to every thing. New alternator. brand new front axles ( life time warenty WOOT WOOT) Sound= 2 5" midrange, 2 3" highs, sony detachable face deck with ipod connection, 15" sony xplode with a 550 watt sony amp. Things in the works.. I still need a new rear axle. Need to throw in my welded rear. In the process of re-bulding a webber 32/36 dgav (water choke) Still need to put the rear discs Also, need to install the cb again. That's about all I can think of for now I'll put up a better pic later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanky_pete Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Looking good Ryan. It's funny, I don't miss my '04 WRX one bit, but I do miss that little Hatch. Would love to go wheeling with you sometime in the wagon I replaced that Hatch with. For anyone that's curious, this is what the hatch looked like when I got it, taken right after I was pulled over doing 85+ in it in Boise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 hatchs go 85+?!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrap487 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 my WAGON went 85 and its at least 500lb heavier I think? for a 4 speed thats not too bad, with a 5 speed I bet it could make it to a hundred although I wont take it any faster than 55 untill I stiffen up my suspension a little in the front er... hatches came with ea81 or ea71?

DrKrazy Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Man I love those hatches, and your's is great looking . Bet it wheels like mad too, wish I would've found one for cheap before I lifted the EA82 sedan :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanky_pete Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 hatchs go 85+?!!! My exact words when he told me how fast I was going was; "Wow, this thing will go that fast?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanb Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 Here's a few more. I have some idea's for future things to do, put I'm up to my neck in projects untill I get the wagon ready to sell all the way. I really want those white Schwab rims instead though, anyone wanna trade? ( just rims, not tires lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrap487 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 how much you thinking bout selling your wagon for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanb Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 Probably 9 honestly. There's a bunch of stuff done to it though. MODS: 3" lift Power steering conversion 5 speed EA82 trans and drive shaft Reinforced rear diff hanger Steel front bumber with light mounts and a bar ( homemade, not factory ) The clutch only has about 1000 miles on it 27.5 wildcat all terains C.B. with antena and P.A. speaker Jvc tape deck with 2, 3" and 2, 5" speaks Thule cross bars with a "pig pen" roof rack ( basket from front to back) All new light relays Re-conditioned battery 6 month old alternator ( reconditioned) New outter tie-rod ends 1982 four post steering wheel EA82 dome light There might be a few more things too, I'll have to think about it. I'm also gonna try to put some new fenders on if I can find them in the right color because I hacked the piss out of the old ones to make Swapmers fit and it just looks silly how much room there is underneath there with the Wildcats. ( unless you're gonna run Swapmers, then I can leave em on, either way they'll come with though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
