kiwi subbie

In NZ theres a few. I own a 1973 1400 GSR, 1973 GL1400, 1974 DL. The GL is spare parts car. GSR needs a restoration and my DL is Rd legal runner. Yup I also love the Vortex. I have a 1989 Vortex 6

Thanks dude

Sweet as. Im trying to find one locally. If I cant I have to try get it pannel beated.

Quick question Was the 1400 ever fitted with a water overflow bottle from fractory? If so what did it look like? Thanks

Gey dude did your 1600 come with chromed hub caps? like the 1400 DL?

Tell me how the Alpfa 33 goes Im been thinking of getting one myself

Man I wished I had the cash... All the nice ones come up when I got no money :-\

You can get dual ranges in a Forester. What I would love is a bullet proof 6 speed with dual range lol

Is this a totally new 5 speed Dual Range? Or still based on the old gearbox?

Please take lots of pics of the repairs

I ran into a problem with my old 1988 Subaru 1600DL a year or so ago. It had ellectronic ignition. The distribrator cap was buggered. I searched every where for a cap and No one could find one. Even tryed Subaru with no luck. In fact I had to convert to points ignition :-\ The cap was like a Ea82T cap but it was sat on the distributer about a 1/4 of a turn out.. ( Its a little hard to explain ) I tryed caps out of every subaru I had wrecked and nothing was the same. It used screws to hold the cap on. I was thinking of replacing the disty on my GSR with ellectronic but wouldnt want to end up with not able to pic up replacement cap etc

Ooooh you forgot one (EJ16) 1600cc

Nice score

Wht not use a newer engine like a EZ30? it uses a timing chain and is lighter and shorter than a EG33

Would that colour scheme be a factory one? It looks good And is that a vinel roof?

This is what my exhaust system looks like on my 1400 GSR. It stays as two pipes untill the rear muffler and comes out withthe one pipe. Its the factory exhaust system.

Do you remember that old Japanese 1970s flick with the two 1600s in it. One was chasing the other. One was a coupe, but the other was a sedan and that was 4WD. It showed him put it in 4WD so he could keep up with the other guy. Eventually the guy in the 4WD rammed the other guy and he drove off the side of the road. Maybe the Japanese market got some oddball 4wd sedan?

Thats a nice GFT. I would love to get one

I agree. I like the look of it:)

Dam thats a nice looking EA81T

Ahh good colour I dont really know what colour I will eventually paint mine. I dont really want to do a colour that some one else has used on their 1400. Like to be a tad different. Maybe I mite go a brighter yellow or a different red compaired to stock GSR Red.

So has any one up graded the brakes on a 1400 coupe to some off a leone with vented disks? Thats something I was thinking of doing on the GSR eventually

Looks good. Looking at this thread makes me want to go back to restoring my GSR I need to get my project rabbit out of the way 1st. What colour you are thinking off painting your Coupe?

Thanks. heres a vid of my 1400 engine Also ive got some short vids of my GSR on there too. I need to get back to restoring the GSR but got a few bills I need to pay off and need to restore the fuji rabbit 1st.

Nope not nelson... Ive seen another in chch but it was fearly ruff... Then a year later I think I saw it in the wreakers yard... tryed to save it but when I did it was long gone.. unknow if it was scrapped. Saying that about 18 months or so ago I drove my yellow GSR thru nelson
