scoobyclimbs Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 so how hot does your exhaust get?I wouldn't like to try to attach a tow strap to the clevis only to get my hand burned. Not that hot at all ..makes a good hand warmer though . The muffler is so big and aluminized with dual outlets it dissapates well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subaruman5 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) Little update to continue this thread being the new owner of legendary Scooby Climbs 84' Subaru GL... I went with the: K&N Apollo Cold Air Intake Systems Universal & Stone For 96-03 Toyota 90 series Landcruiser Prado Snorkel Air Intake Snorkeling Most challenging part was getting everything to fit and find the proper adapters, but I found some at the local hardware store and in my tool box. Also had to reroute one of the hoses from the idle control valve and had to relocate one of the plastic fittings on the intake piping. They say that the intake head is designed to be in forward position with escape channels that the ram air forces the dissipated water particles to drain from, but I don't trust it and drive with it faced aft just in case. Other wise, I have not integrated a drain hole yet. As long as I periodically clean the air filter it should be fine. Anyways enjoy the pictures!

scoobyclimbs Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 For those wondering why I sold my beloved hatchie.. It came down to safety with my son riding in the back. As well as needing space for multi day wheel in trips. Bryan is a good friend and was the perfect candidate for sharing the love of the hatchie. In fact he got his first taste of wheelin in it. Ride on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EA81 engines were the worst Subaru engine ever built. Subaru fired all engineers who built the EA81. EJ22 engines are non interference. EJ18 reliable engine too for good mileage 100 Subaru EA81 style blank keys – Mountain TechSubaru Shop bought it in Oregon City. One of mechanics working for Richy (short guy) in Portland. 30 year old key brand new never cut. Modification Photos: http://subaru-adventures.com/current-mod-list-of-84-subaru-gl-hatch/ Photo Gallery Here: http://subaru-adventures.com/subaru-builds/84-gl-gallery/ Nice ride, but the only thing that rivals an ej22s reliability IS the ea81. perhaps this is a typo?
