Subarian Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Take a look at my new Soob. It's an 86 with d/r 5 speed. The previous owner says the engine's seized, but I just happen to have a turbo motor I was planning on buliding anyway. Not bad for a hundred bucks.

Subarian Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 Thanks. It's got the brown on brown interior. The carpet's in really good shape, but the seats are a little hammered. That's OK, though, because the turbo wagon (donor car) has good seats, and they happen to be brown. As far as rust, it has a very little on very bottom of the rear quarters, but that's all. Even the underside looks pretty good. I'm going to take some leave next week (I've had 24 straight duty days) and get started on building the turbo motor. There's an outside chance I'll be picking up a 2.7 H-6, but it's probably going to be the turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack in Norfolk Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 great find! I used to have an 86 d/r wagon. It was a great car. dropping in a turbo will make it even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartless Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Sure wish we could find 'em like that around here - i am sooo jealous!! Very nice score, even with a blown motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 The EJ22 I thought I had for it was gone when I called, so now I'm out looking. Still, it's a really straight body. Thanks for the compliments. BTW, there's a EJ20TT on ebay that ends in about five hours. I think I need to have a chat with my wife.....

Sweet82 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 So what are your evil plans for this poor little Subie? Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 84 GL Mad Max--$40 01 Forester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 The master plan is an EJ motor and some 14 or 15 inch wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 The master plan is an EJ motor and some 14 or 15 inch wheels. Would there be a lift in that plan? Depending on your tire selection...you might need one? There is only one lifted Subie (full body) in Utah! It would be Unique?

Subarian Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Not currently planning on a lift, but it's a possibility in the future. I plan on no bigger than 27 inches total tire diameter, so I'll get some extra height without the lift. So who has the lifted Subaru in Utah? There's an older Subaru in Orem that looks like it's lifted. BTW, I've been meaning to ask you about your SubaruHummer. Did you fabricate that? It looks pretty cool.

Sweet82 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Apparently one of Zapar's old Hatches was sold to a guy in Utah. It's painted yellow now and has steel Pugs on it. I saw it once out by Nutty Putty Cave and I've never seen it since? He's not a board member. A lifted Subie will catch some attention around here. I may Lift Mad Max but it needs some restoration first...

Subarian Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 The one that's in Orem is a yellow hatch. I'll see if I can snap some pics and post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the compliments. BTW, there's a EJ20TT on ebay that ends in about five hours. I think I need to have a chat with my wife..... Are you interested in the engine out of my '90 Legacy? It has a blown HG and I let it get hot. It does run though and is rebuildable. You can have it for free if you'd like. I'm just planning on donating the car to the local fire dept. anyway. I'm up the road a few hours drive in Rexburg, ID Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Thanks. That's very generous of you. I'm going to look at one locally here tomorrow, but if that does't work, I might be getting back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
