That's a 4WD GL hatch. Should be an EA81 1800 engine. Could be an EA71 fat-case swapped from a STD hatch but those are exceptionally rare so it's doubtful. Probably someone stuck a 1600 badge on it and it's really an 1800. GD

We have had the gates belts fail before 105k with no contributing factors. More than once. We will not use any gates products at this point. They have misrepresented their kits, changed parts to Chinese without warning, and made promises they didn't keep. We buy a LOT of timing components and we buy the individual pieces from the manufacturers Subaru uses at the factories. Mitsuboshi, Koyo, NTN, NSK, and Aisin. GD

Post some pictures. Generally, we refer to the EA81 body style as a hatchback: And EA82 as a coupe, even though they both have 2 doors and a rear hatch: These overlapped '85-'88 in the US. AFAIK, neither was available with the 1.6 during those years, certainly not with dual-range 4WD. Is it a 4- or 5-speed? 3 bolt front struts is EA82. But not impossible to modify that. Just like the EA71 and 1600 badge.

How do you know the engine is stock? If it's got a 3 bolt strut, and it's an 87 then it's a 3 door coupe. The STD hatch wouldn't have a 1600 badge, and in 87, a STD hatch wouldn't have a dual range. In fact nothing EVER came with a 1600 and a dual range that I'm aware of. The 4 speed D/R came out in 81 and was only ever equipped on 1800 engines. This is probably an 87 carbed 3-door coupe, with a 5 speed D/R that someone swapped in an EA71 and stuck a badge on it. GD

The variable might just be Tony Soprano's hot temper Go sit in a few subies at your local dealer and check the temperature readings. If they are more in line with your app (or even each other +/-) and markedly different as compared to yours then there is something amiss with your sensor. That would be the scientificological approach as I understand it from reading Roller Derby Monthly magazine...

Good day & welcome to USMB. Another, err, 'heavyweight of horror' saying "good evening".

ahahaha! good eye! missed it earlier.

That is really cool, but he doesn't have any center caps!!!

That is awesome! A coworker has a RHD 93 Leone that he is considering selling to me. I'm not terribly fond of the body style. but hey, it's RHD! lol
