Zefy Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 wow those look sweet! do you have rubbing issues with them??? last question... are they as tall as stock or more??? doing a quick calc i determined that you would need to be running 205/35 to keep stock height... so obviously those aren't 205/35's... so what exactly are you running for all of us who want such meat on out cars... looks good! can't wait to see the whole project finished! you gonna be supa fly!:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBrat84 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Looks like a 205/55/15? Would a 205/35/15 even exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostamojen Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 205/50-15 They are just a tad taller than stock. And no, no rubbing at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 205/50-15 They are just a tad taller than stock. And no, no rubbing at all Sweet! I was wondering if they would rub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zefy Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 carfreak85 Heres a brat from WCSS7: hehe thats renassanceman's(sp?) brat... you can see mine behind his... but ya... he is running EA81 modded struts with RX springs... but his tires are such a tight fit! you can't fit your pinky finger in between his torsion bar suspension nubbin and the tire...(on the rear) i really like his set-up... there is a thread telling about his front suspension... its like performance mods for gen 1's or something... i was thinking that since he wasn't running stock suspension that they might not fit... and i'm not about to go out buy pugs and find they don't fit... your running stock suspension on your wagon right Kostamojen?

Left_coast*9 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Kostamojen -- that is one of the flippin' most killer Sube projects I have ever seen, man. I love those old Gen1 wagons. Don't get frustrated, just get it on the road! Awesome job so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostamojen Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 your running stock suspension on your wagon right Kostamojen? Yup, totally stock... And old I think the rear struts are dead, but I cant tell for sure since I dont know what they are supposed to ride like when they are new!

Thanks, its good to hear that... I'm still stuck at the whole smog thing though, its spewing black, white and blue smoke now I really dont know how to fix it. Trying to find a local shop that can work on it and actually knows something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 That paint scheme would look so sweet! Maybe make the fender flares and rocker panels the same color as the top of the car. Either that or paint them black. Another thing that might look cool is a blue pinstripe a couple inches above the color change line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually thinking of trying to get a few Subaru vinyls for the car after its painted... Kind of like the rally cars, maybe something different though. I havent tried photochoping it yet to see what would look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajavwnsoobnut Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 hey if you get a chance to fiddle around with photoshop again take the images in my photos area and of the 76 and do the rally logos on it but with oldschool emblems instead of newschool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
