what kind of wheels u can use pug wheels or diffrent wheels of another gl or loyale try a junkyard or ebay or if u want a project u can use 6lug wheels from a toyota or chevy and drill 2 new holes thats i did as for the hood scoop a universal one from an auto part store will work ive seen some guys use one off of a sti but the had to make it fit hope

ya thats a project alright the body looks good for being in a scrap yard good find

any suby is a great car and as long as its not a 3.0 6 cyl ur covered u can do a head casket in about an hour on a 2.2 or 2.5 and the gasket kit is 35 40 bucks so if it leaks who cares hek u can do a engine swap in 4 hrs subs r a peace of cake exept that 3.0 its a pane in my but i know i work on them all day mine has 320,000 miles on it its a 95 outback 2.5 and i have done the head gaskets 3 times so not bad for than many miles

may b its just me but if your going to go to all that trouble of moding a ej 1.8 for 30 hp y not go with a 2.2 or 2.5 atleast in the end u will b happy with the power instead of crying about it still being a gutless turd and to the ej2.2 guys how is your c.v's and trans holding up to the added power offroad im planning on a 2.2 swap in the spring i would do it now but no garage and i dont like working in the snow any thats my 2 cents on the hole e82 ej1.8 swap doesnt seem worth the trouble besides the e82 if u break a timing belt no big deal if u do that to a ej1.8 ur skrewed another thing to think about but its your project party on:headbang:

just change the timing belts they are 20-30 bucks and it takes about an hour to change them even your dog could do it the 1.8 is like the easiest engine to work on and even if its not the problem at least u will have the peace of mind that they wont break in the middle of nowhere:banana:

DAMN i couldn't do that looks almost factory other than being able to mount ur license plate inside the bed :headbang:

u took the engine out for a rad were u bored maybe u need a woman to entertain u

ya SPFL is the way to go when ur done u can use the white one as a tweek ramp ohya:headbang:

thats great mine just rolled to 300,000 bolth trans and engine original when your but trans shows its age when in gear you can move the stick all around like when in neutral :headbang:

ya i would have stuck with the hatch it was a seasoned vet on the battel field and those dents were battel scars you know how girls are about nasty scars that car looks like it would have been a chick magnet lol:grin:

well the sub frame droped 4 inches along with the strut so every thing should be at stock angles thats why i dont under stand why my camber is so far off but maybe ur right it just looks so bad because of the big tires ill try driving it around the block a few times see what happens thnx:headbang:

hi i have an 88 GL wagon and im trying to put a SJR 4 in lift on it and im almost done but my front tires are way out of wak there sitting on the outer edge of the tire ive tryed the lift blocks on both sides and that doesnt help and ive rotated them every way i can think of does any one else have this problem or am i just retarded and not doing it right thnx:confused:

u guys are crazy towing things with such a high horsepowered car ur going to blow that poor car up (suby the little engin that could)right:grin:

ok thnx GROSSGARY ill try the comp check again see if it does any better:headbang:

no the car runs great has ok power ican get 80 mph on the freeway and i had a good battery and i took the plugs out one at a time the reason i wanted to know what new one should have is im putting a 4in lift and 225/70/r16 on it soon and was wondering if rebuilding the motor would make a big enough diffrence to bother r u supose to take all the plugs out when i do it maybe i did it rong thnx

i have an 88 GL with a 1.8 spfi my compresion is 110 in 1-3 and 105 in # 4 i have 299 thousand miles and wondering what a new engine should have thnx any body know:banana:

are they 13 or 14's ill give u 100 bucks:burnout:

hey where do i get that kit do i have to go to subaru ? and thnx guys for all the input:headbang:

i recently got a set of BFG alt tire they are 265/75 R16 mounted on 6 lug wheels i wanted to know if i put a 4 inch lift on my GL wagon would they fit or am i dreaming thnx:headbang:

1988 GL wagon 299030 miles 1.8 spfi about 26 on avarage

ok thanx guys ill change the pcv valve but its probably blowby i didn't think it would put oil in the air box but u learn something new every day i think its problby blowby because my car has 299030 on the clock but pcv valves are easy so its worth a shot

I have a 1988 GL wagon with the 1.8 spfi engine and i changed the oil to day and air filter and the air filter has oil on it and the air tube to the engine has oil in it as well what does this mean does anyone know the car still runs great no blue smoke out the tail pipe :banana:

hey crazylong i dont think your tires are big enough u need to go at least 2in bigger:grin:

whats the point in running hho and gas you still have to buy gas

hey im thinking about the same thing what kind of power can u get out of that 2.2 and would it pass im's and how do u guys figure this out a ford dis in a subaru.and ur car looks kickass:headbang:
