hi everyone you might recognize me as oilcover or coiloverkid from the nasioc forums...

 

I have an 87 GL wagon, with a built 2.0L JDM EJ20, rotated turbo, and Link+ standalone, blahblah...it's RWD, too. it's fun.

 

 

I just blew the rear end after 2 years of loyal service, and Im throwing a new R160 back in.

 

ANNNDDD i'm excited to find you can fit miata coilovers on this thing. :slobber:

I bought it back. I couldn't stand it being in possesion of a non "subaru person"...you guys understand. :lol:

I sold it in a rush to pay for my more expensive wrx project car and i regetted it, so when i had the cash i bought it back.

 

that IS me in the video. I'm the original owner/builder.

When the original video came out (way back when) we were all gaa-gaa on it. Basically, we wanted more. Can we see more?

BTW, I had stealthily tracked you down on a drift forum and had serious thoughts of purchasing it when you put it up for sale. Sadly, I suck, so I never contacted you.

i'm trying to get coilovers/stiffer suspension for this damn thing, it's hard!

 

the problem is i wanna be 4-lug so I can run old school corolla style wheels with a good sized lip and sit flush. like this:

this means re-drilling it to 4x114.3 or hub adapters...

 

someone told me go 5-lug and get coilovers, but that's $$$.

another option was kyb gr-2's and that coilover sleeve kit with stiff springs and crank down on the sleeve to dump it!

which ground-control coilover conversion kit fits?

welcome.

 

Nice to see that you have found your way here.

 

Heard about your wagon from various soob circles.

 

I have the EJ BRAT in L.A. Working on a long term EJ powered RX.

 

Send me a PM and we can hook up. I am in Redondo Beach.

(btw, your pm is full)
