Air filters? Stock Box/Cone/Snorkel
carfreak85 replied to 4RnrRick's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The funny thing is that the stock air filters ARE oiled, if I'm not mistaken! -

There are no exhaust leaks. Any other thoughts from current/former EA81T owners? -

I know there was a thread about this. Anyone know where it went? -

Fisrt gen, stage 2. These would be on a gen 1 brat. -
I did a search but came up empty. I know I read something about this a while back. I want to know if anyone has done this before and if they have, what was required to install them (rear discs) on a gen 1 car.

Superlite Wheels
carfreak85 replied to Barry Knickerbocker's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I'd be interested if the price was right. Probably in the 14-16" range. -
My thoughts exactly!

No it mean you dispose of the body!

Quattro San lives! (Updated as of 11/2/2004)

Why would they use the EA81 block for testing when they already had the EA82 which was set up for overhead cams? It just doesn't make sense. I'll look at it today and ask the current prof who was a student there (I beleive). -
Actually its between the left and right sides of the vehicle. The inside tires follow a smaller arc than the outside tires and therefore turn slower than the outer tires. That is what causes the bind. The manual also calls for speeds of 50mph or less while in 4WD.

I just think its kinda overkill. I had no problem answering those questions weekly. Most of the time all you had to do was post a link to an existing thread.

Do we really need this forum? Its getting pretty crowded, lets not get too forum happy...

Quattro San lives! (Updated as of 11/2/2004)

Well what I understand from word of mouth is that FHI farmed out the development of the overhead cam system for the EA82 (There is an engine sitting on a stand in the VRI that has an EA81 block with custom heads milled out of aluminum and OHC). After I gather more articles from the massive collection we have here, I'll have Mick throw them up. There are two about Quattro san. It was actually a project car that Subaru loaned to Motor Trend. They did a bunch of stuff to it, then gave it back to Subaru. Then Subaru gave it to us for some reason. This last part is a little fuzzy, but I'll try to get more facts. Have fun with the following info, LET THE BENCH RACING BEGIN!!! Some figures from the articles compared to the EA81 turbo wagon R&T tested: (Note these are impressive only for a subaru) Quattro San has a 4 speed D/R manual and the turbo wagon has a 3 speed 4WD automatic. Quattro San: Estimated 110hp @ 5200rpm Stock Turbo: 95hp @ 4800rpm QS: Estimated 135lbft @ 3000rpm ST: 123lbft @ 2000rpm QS: Curb weight 2240 lbs ST: curb weight 2630lbs/ test weight 2775lbs (Tested with Turbo 10 package [sunroof, electric windows, cruise control, electric mirrors and digi dash] along with a roof rack and misc options) QS: 0-60 9.67 sec ST: 0-60 13.0 sec QS: 1/4 Mile 17.10 @ 77.7mph ST: 1/4 Mile 19.0 @70mph QS: 60-0 160 ft (Note: Nothing on the braking system was touched) ST: 60-0 168(FWD)/158(4WD) (Note: The stock turbo car stopped better in 4WD than FWD) QS: Estimated Skidpad .82g ST: 200ft Skidpad .720g QS: Brake diameter 7.2 in discs front/ 7.1 in rear drums ST: 8.9 in discs front/ 7.1 in rear drums I'll save the the other info for later. Maybe I gave you too much info too soon...
