You subie nuts in Washington make me regret moving to Colorado. I wish I had the same support network the subie family has in Washington!

I have a 87 ea81 hatch with 28 in tires and no lift so you know the axles are at a bad angle. I've had the same axles for 3 months. Replace your ball joints and engine transmission mounts. Saves your axles. And gives you a smooth ride again:)

So I've been wondering what all do I need to do a swap to a 5spd dual range transmission on my hatch? Am I gonna need a new clutch as well as a different flywheel and driveline? 4 SPD 4hi transmission is starting to limit my off-road game.

My bad smith lol. I jumped the gun. But hey I would love to see a loyale on a rally stage again!

Hey I'm in carbondale. Was thinking about buying this subaru for a while! Glad to see a local up here! I'm always skeptical when looking at subs on craigslist. Glad to know who ever buys this will be happy with there purchase!

Idk what regs you're running in but you're gonna need a cage for sure. Check with the website. Theirs usually a ton of safety specs you have to meet.

Oh and maybe some fuel treatment additive to make it run cleaner? Aka higher grade ethanol?

Make sure it's warmed up all the way and it's not shut off while you're waiting in the line to the smog chamber.

Having the same problem let me know!!!

So I've got a hitachi carb on my ea81 so my carb or engine not sure let's off a lot of white in the morning when I'm first starting her up. Also once the engine is warmed up it'll do this jerking thing when I hover like the carburetor is choking itself that really slams my transmission and engine which really scares me as I'm currently in a battle of getting the old transmission mounts off to replace them(bolt is In there good). My buddy says it's the lack of back flow I have due to not having a full muffler. Just cat and exhaust. Any thoughts?

Gloyale told me it'd only use more gas without any power gain. You need to increase your compression I.e. Headers cam made sense to me at least

Good point.... Thread closed!

Will a weber 38/38 work with my ea81? If so am I gonna get better low end torque? Or is it gonna flood my engine in a heartbeat?

Carburetor weber horsepower

Here's a picture of the car if people are wondering

Well the thread is for the options of horses vs gearing. So maybe it strays a bit off topic but it's alright. My cars just a weird setup so I need answers on more than I thought. So ej22 swap for hp. Dual range 5 SPD for gearing so I don't rape my current transmission. Sweet give me a month for cash and I'll probably get all the parts and get this rig crawling up trails like a jeep

Hey let us know when you get that carb. I want something with that kinda throttle!

Yah I'd rather go 5 SPD with those lower gears. I need them for the tires. I'm gonna find a ej22 engine soon too that got decided today so I can give my engine to a friend with a Morris miner. A 4spd will work with a ej right?

And just tell me if it's not clear enough. Engine was hot I didn't wanna wipe the grit off it

Wheel wells are chopped out. The wagons back wheel wells can't be chopped out like the hatches. As for the rims looks like someone took a dodge wheel and drilled it to fit the 4 lug pattern?

Lol alright it says ea81

Thanks guys!

We'll thanks. Uber. Turns out its a an ea81. So maybe it's on its 2nd transmission?

Jets clogged? Spray and pray!

And thanks gloyale twitch and loyale turbo all you guys answered some big questions so far! This site is awesome.
