1984 EA81T GL coupe

150k-ish miles, bought for $650
no rust, runs awesome, needs all trans mounts and engine mounts changed, obviously has dents. I've already put a 2.25" exhaust on after the downpipe, no muffler.
Planned are a 5-speed swap (XT6 flywheel), rear disc brake conversion, XT6 seats, WRX downpipe & custom header, 4-spoke alloys, new side window seals, new driveline mounts, intercooler, analog dash swap, and of course some better sheetmetal for the front. I've got the parts for all of that except the front sheetmetal and the rear discs and I have yet to select/find a 5-speed trans. I also have like-new gold & black side trim pieces :cool:


1986 GL10 ex-turbowagon
-old picture of the wagon:


Current picture of the wagon:


I'll post in more detail about the wagon when it's done, but it has a 4" lift, RX trans/LSD, EJ swap, and a whole bunch more!

[misledxcracker]

sounds fun!

here's my '86 GL coupe:





1986 GL... 2WD 3AT original SoCal car, yet has the hideous windshield and rear quarter panel rust... some body damage, already found bondo .... dents here and there, front and back bumpers pushed in, blackish silver steelies

Thing is... I cant help but love her... only 94,000 miles on her! She still looks wonderful in my eyes regardless of bodywork! I've turned down a girl on the whole "either the car or me" thing... she's never being sold!

Planned is fix the body work, get an XT dual-outlet muffler, factory mudflaps, RX body kit, some Superlites (if I can find some) and possibly get new pinstriping and decals

[Turbone]

89 RX, my daily.

My 89 FTXT6.

My 84 Lifted Hatch.

My 84 Brat.

[Phizinza]

Ok then... heres mine.



Bought her a couple of years ago. Came with the 2" lift kit and some 14" wheels. She also had a a true EA81dc (dual carb, valves more like the EA82 engine, better flow.) She got some mud terrains 6months after I bought her. These are now on my secondary wheels as I got a set of 6 stud Superlites which you see in the picture above. These are fitted with 215/60R15's which grip great, but horrid on dirt. She got a rollbar and bullbar soon after I got it. The rollbar everyone asks about, its a 3" stainless steel bar. Pretty simple really. I bought it from a wrecker where it was already mounted to another Brat. The bullbar is completely alloy and is good enough to use as a recovery point.
There is heaps more I have done including the latest EJ22 conversion along with the "tri-hybrid" gearbox which includes EA82 low range, FT4WD center diff locker, and EJ D/R casing so there is no adapter for it to the engine.
I have also done some custom work on the inside including the new low range shifter, custom center console fitted with gauges and a PDA which acts as a mp3 player. It has a radio and amp in the glovebox. UHF and VHF CB radios. 6.5" speakers mounted in boxes in the doors. It sometimes has the sub and amp box mounted behind the drivers seat which has a 12" sub and a 200watt x 2 Fusion amp (my brothers.) The pedal box is even modified to fit the new clutch cable and throttle cable for the 5sp and EJ conversion. Aftermarket 310mm steering wheel. Well, the list goes on. And one picture can't show it all. So if you want to read more check out my website.

Currently partially dismantled:

'81 Brumby, my first Subaru, and car.

Is fairly tidy only had 64,000km original when I got it now has 82,000km.
Is awaiting removal of a little bit of rust, then 'restoration' so to speak begins.

#2 '81 Brumby, Parts-mobile.

Got it cheap, for parts, and what do ya know, it was legal on the road and ran mint! Still has 1 month of legal motoring left in it, so is being daily drivin till then, at which point, I'll park it in a field for parts, and maybe future trailered 4X4 project.

'87 Omega RX

I'm actually trying to sell this at the moment, So I can focus on one old car. And get something a bit more practical and less-turbo for perminant DD.

[Hondasucks]

Current daily driver:

1990 Legacy LS

My old 84 4x4 wagon

344,000 miles on the motor... lotsa rust!

My first Subaru

only mods I ever did to it were I swapped it to a 5 speed with an EA82 2WD 5 speed, put a cherry bomb on it, and swapped the steels for a set of white wagon wheels. Was on it's way to being pretty cool when some arsehole T boned me...

[Numbchux]

ok, I'm currently down to only ONE subaru so here it is:

'92 Loyale wagon, started life as a FWD 3AT Florida car (Rust Free ). My dad bought it down there, and drove it up here, and it was our daily driver for a few years. then I got my license, and it was passed along to me. I hated the drivetrain, so replaced it with the '85 4WD wagon, and then a couple lifted wagons.

then, last summer, I pulled it out of the woods, and between parts from my '85, my mom's old '92 legacy, and some other stuff....I did this to it:




now it's running a full RX FT4WD DR drivetrain with rear LSD.
R1 Racing 450/500 lb/in adjustable coilover springs over stock struts/shocks (yikes )
XT6 front sway bar (have the rear, but need the turbo trailing arms...)
'85 front bumper and grill
EJ22e
rear discs using 200SX calipers (haven't redone the cables yet...so it's still front handbrake)

this summer, it's getting 5-lug and a full suspension setup (poly bushings, GR2s in the rear, AGXs in front, rear sway bar, and some springs ), and hopefully a crazy custom hybrid tranny...

then, some belt-driven forced induction and a PP6

then there's my dad's '94 Legacy Touring wagon, and my mom's '01 legacy sedan.

[GLCraig]

This is my 84 GL with 238K miles on it. I've owned it for over 9 years and I've put over 71k miles on it. Rally tire of choice is the Kumho Ecsta R700 165/80/13.



This is my 94 Legacy GT. That's right is a Gen1 Legacy with a raised roof. It's been my daily driver for the 5 years that I've owned it and I've put over 65K miles on it in that time.

[Bucky92]

[nvexplorer]

I can play along.



1993 Loyale. The first car I've ever bought. Got it from my uncle for $500 and has been running great since! 178000 on the clock, want to do a dual range swap and rear disks, but keep it looking as close to stock as possible.


My 83 GL hatchback. Actually I tried to get rid of it as I don't have time or money to work on it, and my brother doesn't want to fix it up for his first car for some reason. At least he does want a subaru though!

[daeron]

ALLRIGHT, allright, I will taint the thread with a couple shots of the SS Tetanus

1987 GL-10 (I think of it more as a GL-5) SPFI, Front Wheeler, 3-speed auto.. the digidash, (ech) sunroof, trip computer, factory cruise, and power locks/windows are its only redeeming qualities...



and her bad side...


I shall say again, the undercarriage of this car looks BEAUTIFUL, and this car was ziebarted () the rust is ALMOST all WYSIWYG.. the only hidden spots are under the windshield; a stray piece of gravel is most likely going to be the deatchknell of this chassis one day..... but the frame is solid as a rock.

[VaporTrail]

ok. first up. 82 GL Brat. 99k. 5" lift, built engine, blah, blah, blah.... (all the off roading mods)



Next Up. 86 GL Brat. 88k, 3" lift. rear discs, otherwise stock. this one is my baby, and will be my son's first car....



my daily driver 84 Hatch. pretty much stock, but some mods coming this summer.... (already have louvers on it...)



and lastly, I present Mountain Grizzly. 82 GL wagon, 195k, 3" lift, all power options available in '82. rear shoulder belts from "down under" installed. this one will be for sale probably...

[Caboobaroo]

wow, guess I should get my fleet on here of what I have left... or still...

1987 Subaru GL coupe, FWD 3AT, SPFI EA82. Got it for $100 a few months ago and the body is in premo condition. Blue interior which is getting changed to black. Currently is in the process of complete 5-lug conversion, RX FT4wd d/r 5-speed tranny swap, 3.7 rear LSD, turbo engine crossmember for later plans, WRX 16" alloys, RX checkerboard seats, short throw shifters, Pioneer DEH-P7700MP deck, Kicker Comp VR 12" subs in a Q-Logic box, Kenwood Excelon 1000watt amp, RX bodykit painted flat black, ebay coilovers, 2-piston front calipers and a few other odd-n-ends.
Future plans include an EJ20G swap, EJ AWD 5-speed with rear VLSD, STi hoodscoop, tinted windows, STi interior bits like seats and such, and a few more odd-n-ends.


1978 Subaru Brat DL. Yes, its a shell but its getting the body worked on right now. Has been media blasted and is in epoxy primer. Plans? I don't know yet.... Return to stock? Maybe with a few upgrades...


1989 Subaru RX. Its another shell! Plans? Hoping it'll be gone this weekend... It had some major mods done to it but I kept blowing it up so when I got my silver coupe, this was done for.


1979 Subaru 4wd wagon. Its not a shell but its missing half the front end and its in Oregon. If someone wants to get it, you can have it for free, just go get it. I have a title and everything for it. Plans? If its still there when I move to Washington, she's gonna get the work done to her I was wanting to do waaaaay back when I got it, like 4 years ago.

[crazy D]

1984 wagon
2 in lift
2.25 exaust
lsd

plans are toput 5 in. lift on, weber and some bigass tires

[newsoobdude]

Well, I guess I'll add all of mine as well in the order I recieved them.

1998 Outback with the f'in 2.5 traded my Nissan Frontier in for it and yes, I've already blown the head gaskets- one month after purchasing:mad:


1983 Rust Wagon 4X4 bought for $200 for parts for my Brat that I was going to get. Had four different d/r 4spds put in and ALL would not go into third:mad: . Then as I was moving it into storage I think (hope) it blew a head gasket. Will be stripping for the Brat and ditching the rest.


Next is my Brat. 1984. Got it in trade for the running gear and air suspension out of an 86 Turbo coupe MINUS rear discs (kept for myself). Does not run and will not move (tranny seized I hope). Will be getting an SPFI EA81, SJR 4 or 6 inch lift and already got some 14" Pugs for it (got the Pugs off a friend for $50 ).


Last for now is my 1986 Gl Wagon 4X4. Bought it off TahoeSoob for $350 for the d/r 5spd, only it's too nice to part out. Came with NEW snow tires, plugs and wires, timng belts just replaced and new hoses. Was missing one hose and replaced it, now after putting 22 miles on it, it does not like to run. Hoping its the accelerator pump. Plans include an SJR t-case lift and 6 lug conversion.


And to think, four months ago I did not have even one Subie, now I have four:grin: . Minus the Outback I've paid a total of $675 for three Subies and have my eyes on another 83 4X4 Wagon and an extra engine (both been sitting for a while and needing gaskets and seals) for $100:eek: . Also know of more EA81 wagons, one 2wd EA81 Coupe, one 2wd Hatch, ALOT of EA81 and some EA71 parts, 2 EA71 Brats (one rolled one not), 2 EA81 Brats, and a 78 and 79 4X4 Wagon in the area. I think I'm in trouble:lol:
