Im sure people have seen this, but why not see it again. http://www.break.com/index/sweet-subaru-with-snow-tracks.html O

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/projectrudy/LEONE-RXIIQ.jpg I cant seem to find one anywhere.

Everyone should read the post on pirate4x4 of how and why it works.

thanks...thats one hot thread

Well now everyone has me scared that i would destroy the front suspension of the car. I figured I could do it for around 300.00.

What have you towed with your subaru? How much did it weigh and how far did you tow it? Orion

Actually yes...there arent too many things i havent messed with..... On the buggyroo2 i think ill give it a shot.

You add some oil to the cylinders and then fill them up with air. Oil to lube, air to lift.

http://www.peninsularcylinders.com/sp_weld.htm Red one on the right is a good example of on that might work given the right sizes.

I currently have the stock EA-82 Wagon springs in the front. With the rear so light the front doesnt flex much at all. The real reason i asked all these questions is if i was going to keep the buggy i was going to build a custom front suspension using hydrolic slave cylinders as the front struts. So the buggy in the end would have air shocks/springs on all 4 corners. Ive done a ton of research on this (http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=261171&highlight=hydraulic&page=11) and Yes i know it sounds way out in left field, but i really think it would work. So basically you would order 2 of these slave cylinders (http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200309367_200309367) with the shaft very close to the diameter of the bottom of the strut. Yes i know the above cylinder has 2 clevis ends. you would have to order one similar to that of a snow plow lift or a bottle jack style. Where its a clevis mount on one end and a "solid" end on the other, around 1.5"od. Then just clamp that end in where the strut came out of and then you would have to build a custom top strut tower. I can explain it better in my head than in this post. And....now you all can tell my why it wouldnt work O

Anyone replaced the front springs with ones with more coils? From some other car?

Flex/articulation. Why are the axles a hang up?

Has anyone achieved great front flex on a Subaru??? I got the rear to flex excellent with air shocks/air springs, but the front is still an unsolved mystery. Orion

Maybe the guy meant GL in the add and not DL. Cause it has a 5 speed and dual range, or was that an option in the DL?

Are there any pics of lifted Coupes out there? Im hopefully going to pick mine up today.

What gauges does the DL not come with? also why would you say its not a good car to lift?

Here is the story...im on my way to pick up this "new" subaru, and they guy calls 5 min before i get there and said the car im about to buy is being towed as we speak. So I turn back around wondering what this car is, if its a hatch or what. Cause i was pretty sure hatches came with a 4 speed and an EA81. So this is really killing me thinking it might be a different car with an EA82, This 3 door you speak of, are there any pics of a 3 door lifted 4x4 out there? Hopefully the guy will call tomorrow and i can go get it from the impound lot.

From what i know so far its a 1987 Subaru DL Hatchback 4x4 dual range 1.8 liter with a 5 speed. So is that 1.8 a push rod or does it have the timing belts? Thanks for the help. Orion

Looks like its remote time, thanks mcbrat!

is it a drysump or wet sump on the ea82? currently the front of my oil pan has the resembelence of my skid plate stamped into it.....not good.

Question....Its RWD till you put it in 4WD?

Actually it lands great, not considering the last jump. Off the large double it landed flat and great. The last jump i took slow, almost not slow enough, i didnt want to launch off that one so i opted for the nose dive.
