i just did a 5spd swap on an 87 gl wagon i got that had a bad auto tranny. [3at] it had the 3.90 ratio rear end also. i was really surprised cause everthing i read said autos were 3.70 . so, from my own experience i guess some autos did come in 3.90. saves us swapping out the diff!! this car also has funny hubcaps that say- 25th anniversay edition- on them. does yours?

sure hope they have some pics they can post:-)

hey susu luvr, congrats on the hatch score! if thats the one from the board it looked pretty clean, you lucky dog. another non rusty soob in the northland. :-)

just one more thing. to us, 80's subes are special. but to most folks they are just another old car.especially in the southwest. you can find clean,no rust,good running cars out there for the same price as a rusty good running car in the north. IF YOU LOOK. i'll shut up now.

go west and southwest. amazingly clean cars are to be found. i have driven rusted out beaters out west, found a clean car, and given the beater to the person i bought the clean car from. then drive your new gem home. also i have purchased two of my cars from people on this message board. they can be very helpful in finding a clean car. i know not everyone has time or money to do this but there are cars out there. i also have some rusted out "winter beaters". its amazing how rusty something can be and still go down the road! not advocating driving an unsafe car though. guess ill stop rambling now :-)

i would say just take it easy for a couple hundred miles. no burnouts or full throttle starts. make sure you have the correct free play in the pedal. kinda treat it gentle so the fiber disk can break in.

to all who worked on this new board [shawn w and everyone i dont know. i think its awesome! easy to read, real nice lookin. thank you very much for all your work!
