YellowSub Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I got an '86 Subaru Standard yesterday for $100. I'm hoping it's going to be really good on gas. It's straight, has no rust at all, and it runs but I'm going to need some parts (clutch cable, maybe a clutch, needs exhaust leak fixed). I'm not finding a lot looking for Subaru Standard, so I was wondering if i should just look for parts for an EA71 or DL or GL hatchback or what? Thanks for any help.

monstaru Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 first off.figure out what motor you have(stamped on the block nextish to the disty. that will tell you ea71,ea81 etc. next,the gl dl is just a trim package. hatches are the same beast as brats in that,the years go beyond the normal ea81 yr range being 80/81 to 84. so find out your engine style and you can pretty much go from there.then do you have a d/r transmission?meaning a dual range 4 wheel drive?all basic stuff that i am sure you will pick up easily.cheers, and good luck,there is plenty of knowledge here for you.cheers, brain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 if its truly a subaru standard (STD) the back likely just says subaru. I think it has an EA71 and round headlights. should get in the 30's or 40's on mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixO Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 +1 for 1.6L/EA-71 I checked out some parts sites and they all point to a 1.6L & an EA-71 fits the bill. Which brings up the obvious - just ask for parts that fit a Subaru Standard. Each parts store have automatic interchange part info as aftermarket parts seem to be oh-so generic these days.

YellowSub Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 thanks for the info. It is a 1.6 EA71, 2wd:-\, but that's okay since I have my Brats and I'm going for good gas mileage. Some of the parts stores don't seem to have a listing for a Standard so I just wanted to make sure that if I told them a DL hatch it would be the same.

mikeshoup Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Tell them its like an 84 DL... as long as it has an EA71/1.6L listing, you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YellowSub Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 ttiwwop too bad you caugha a SDT I thought people try to avoid them ttiwwop (I can't figure this one out), SDT (or this one, either). Geez, do I feel old!! Please explain them to me. After looking at it, we found that it didn't need a cable or a clutch. The spot weld broke where to cable connects to the clutch pedal. All it needed was a quick weld . We're going to find the exhaust leak in the morning then run it through emissions. I'll post some more pictures tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
