I like 'em quiet as possible. "Walk softly, carry a big stick." The RX we had was by no means quiet, but sounded awesome. Burly.

My ultimate 4X Soob: A reliable ea81 with the 4/3, 27s, Weber and a LSD or welded diff. The 4 speed d/r is under rated, I love 'em. Drive comfortably to get there, feel confident you've got a sturdy competent off roader, feel free to go semi hi speed while rallying the forest roads to the serious stuff, rely on it to get you home afterwards. Oh yeah, all on one 11 gallon tank. Guess that narrows it down to one like the one I have. I came up with the scratch Mike, got really tempted, just can't let mine go. If it's not broke, don't fix it type thing.

Air filters? Stock Box/Cone/Snorkel
ezapar replied to 4RnrRick's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I can't imagine how the car breathing its air in the fender would keep water out of the carb. (sorry about the quality of the photo, it was taken from the tv as I played the video) -
http://www.hatchpatrol.com/ We haven't updated it in a long time. I get emails from people asking if we still even exist. I have to get the keys to the site from Ken. But, I have lots of photos to add for members and trips we've taken that need to be on the site. If it's still do-able, anybody up to it?

The site hasn't been updated in years, but don't forget: http://www.hatchpatrol.com/ -
Talk to Tex, he had "skid plates" built for those blocks. They're pretty exposed.

no video. Zapar drove/drives a hatch.

I pulled off the panels inside the door to get access. Then, I used my bare hands to push the dents out from the inside. The door sill I had to beat with a piece of 2X4 and a hammer to bend it back down. Straightened out nicely. The door trim was pretty hammered too, so I bent it back into shape. The little plastic dealies that hold the trim on have to be pinched from the inside, they'll fall right off to be reused. Good luck.

Snow Run / Mud Hole Photos (56k needs to upgrade)
ezapar replied to samo's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Thanks for the photos Samo. That was indeed a blast yesterday. The impreza is good and dirty. Bummer I messed the pumpkin patch fun. Also sorry I didn't say goodbye. But I looked up and saw Brian and Kelly so I jumped in to catch them. And did. And it's Eric -
Air filters? Stock Box/Cone/Snorkel
ezapar replied to 4RnrRick's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
You're gonna think I'm joking, but I'm not. This is an easy snorkel for a Weber and KNN filter. Ralf thought this up for his hatch. Works like a charm. Water that would drip from the hood thrown from the belt after it goes under has no chance at getting into the filter. Water that flows thru the radiator can't get to it either. Very little water splashes up from the rear of the engine compartment. The "snorkel" doesn't seem to affect the way the car breathes. I've used it a 6000+ft in the mountains with no problems. When it comes to H20, the achilles heel of the ea81 is its front mounted disty. -
Yeah, it pissed me off. No, the dents were from a week ago when I had to 4X it out of gnarlier stuff than a Soob should EVER have to be forced to manouver thru. (on the way in, a spider gear blew in the rear diff, left me with only one wheel getting any power in the rear) Tree and its big rump roast root did the damage.

I've got my need for snow satisfied for a little after today, so I'll sit this one out. Tinkam (Tinkham?) Road is fun, as well as the Forest Service road an exit away. The roads give up some sweet views. Lots of hikers straight outta REI that hate the idea of some one having the ordacity to drive on their snow shoe routes. They'll frown at you no matter how slow you go, even if you wave and smile at them. Just the other side of the Summit is Gold Creek. Lots of snow up there, not so deep yet, but lots of it. The roads are great for minor rallying, but there's lots of hunters in big slow trucks, so beware hi speeds on blind corners. We'll go up for the Annual HP Xmas Tree Run on (I would guess) the 27th or 28th of this month. 25 vehicles last year, 40 smiling people in the photo.
