Welcome! You've got some of the best and most active soob resources right in your area! They're all glad to help out too!

This is the place for info and help on getting that soob running! Welcome!

welcome, if you need info, contacts, resources...this is the place

It's something that's for sure...some would call it obsession. I've 3 here in New Mexico, 2 of which are working....and four in Kentucky stored at family farms... Now if I only had storage and a four bay garage....

What's the group in the Southwest? You members in Colorado plan any annual gatherings, etc?

Welcome...if you've an issue with the soob not running, give everyone an idea of what is going on...most of the people on here can help you figure out the problem

Wow, climbing, soobs, let's see....1705 miles from Albuquerque to Casmere....huhmmmm:banana:

Welcome to the board....this is a great place for all your needs from researching mods, to general mainenace and repairs....plus all the members have extra parts they like to sell or trade....

I'm in Albuquerque. I'm currently working on my 3 door coupe project. Acquiring all the needed parts...EJ 25 engine, tubular bumpers, roof rack, lift kit, etc... My Brats are in storage back in KY at my parent's farm...haven't figured out the logistics of having them shipped out here....although I don't have room at my house here. Would be up for wheeling, as well as parts trades/pick ups...I haven't hit the Junk Yards here in ABQ lately but the yards always have a few soobs...

Yep, I noticed this in Jan...it's been killing me since then! I'd have snagged two lifts at that price! One for my 87 3 door coupe and a spare! Probably a good idea I didnt'...have to do a headgasket repair/water pump/timing belt in my 04 Baja...but that's another story....

Numchuck's and Cmiller's write ups are great! Make sure you sift through all the thread of Numchuck's...the initial links he provided no longer exist, as he updated it several times. I'm using those write ups on the swaps and the threads discussing it further for my starting place/wiring info/extras needed.

Welcome! Good to see someone in the surrounding states! For Free? What a deal! The people here are great! You'll find all you need and more.

Welcome! This is the place when you need Soob info and help!

I've done a quick search and didn't find anything...only looked at first page of results...but then again, I've never seen anything on here about a definite lift kit for the Baja. I know the drivetrain is essentially a legacy outback...so, would a lift kit for the outback work? Mine is a 2004, sport package (non-turbo). I'd like a 4" lift. Any ideas? Mods? suggestions?

I have a 2004 and love it! I've had no problems till now...and I'm at over 94,000 miles. My water pump is going out and plan on gathering everything I need. Water Pump, Belts, etc etc...

So what was the verdict?

This is a great write up! I've been gather all the needed items for my 3-door coupe project and this has definitely motivated me more and given me more ideas of what I need to do to my coupe. I pick up my EJ22 this week and will soon start on the rebuild of it-if all goes according to plan! Keep the updates/mods coming!

Welcome! Great place for all your technical questions, ideas, and parts needs too! Colorado seems to have several of us there...yet another reason I am looking into moving there next year!

I've had that happen many times myself. I'll send you pics or a list of what is available when I am done. I had no idea there was anyone else in the area off of the board! Have you been to the "you pull" JY's in Albuquerque? There are always a few soobs there.

That was my mistake, the decal says "star edition" and is 46/50. I'll get pics as soon as I can, I'll snap some tomorrow when I go to set up the pic up time. I'll get some of the engine and interior too, just in case there is any difference in these "50" 3-door coupes as compared to others. Only 50? It would make sense if it were a dealer in the 4 corners area, but why the "H style" wheels are different than most others I don't know.

I'm meeting the guy on Monday the 14th to make arrangements to pick this soob up on Thurs 17th. It's at his business so I have to let him know when I am bringing the trailer-the lot is fenced and locked. I made a quick view of the whole thing when I agreed to buy it. The body is not rusted-only the front slight front end damage. The back seat was the worst, but the interior is otherwise great-for the 80's soobs. I think the back cargo light was there, and yes, if anyone wants to draw a schematic of the areas they need me to apply a sawzall to I'd be happy to do so. I'll take pics of the whole thing, figure out what I need off it and post what is left up here over the weekend.

that's exactly what mine looks like-in these pics. Thanks guys I was curious. I'll take what I need and part out the rest on here:banana:

Welcome, great place for all your needs soob related. The members are always helpful and there is no end to the info here

I bought a wrecked 87 three door coupe today for the parts. Some front end damage, possible frame damage, front windshield got cracked (and I needed that too!), the interior is decent, engine good, doors and rockers are great... there is a decal that says "starfire 46/50". Anyone know what this means? Was this a special edition soob? I see nothing in the 87 brochure section. If so, would it be better to fix this soob instead of using it for parts?
