Stock is 8" double would be 16" If your doubling me you'd be needing 24" 80hp doubled would be 160 wouldn't it? I stand by my math. I didn't make up the double clearance double horsepower thing. I just did the math. To be honest not only do I find it impressive, I find it unbelieveable! Some how I think we've lost focus of what this thread was all about? This thread was never about debating my Buggy VS Stripped Hatch. I'm sure they both have a place. Wasn't the real idea, to explore the possibility of 14 ATV tires on a subie?

Give them some time to come to the light side. They have all come from horrable backgrounds and they just need to get past that point in their lives. They'll come around. Look at all the great cars they have to sell...Trebeca Ok...give them a little more time there is still the STi

I don't think your going to regret your decision. You know all the quirks of your current vehicle, it's a known quantity. That's a good thing out on the trail. Good Luck, Glenn

I wouldn't use an ATV rim if that's what your thinking (4-137) I looked into that but nixed the idea due to the strength of the rim. Someone up in the northwest is running a Justy with ATV tires already but I believe they are running them on custom rims. You could have rims made almost as cheap as you can buy a nice set of ATV rims. 160 Horse and two feet of ground clearance That's impressive!

Tip your car up on three wheels and see how well your doors fit? You will notice a difference.

It's a great motor, some call it bullet proof Too bad it's only 80 horse... :-\

You have a feedback carb. My 82 has one too. A quick search found this... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17699&highlight=feed+back+carb Hope it helps, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer--crude feedback system 01 Forester--more sophisticated system

In Salt Lake City, there are 3 Subaru's at any given intersection!!! Next time your here look!...count....you'll find at least 3!!! They are everywhere and they are all new! Once a month I'll see an EA-81 Once a week I'll see an early 90's And there is three newer ones at EVERY intersection. My .02 Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

Old Soobs never die, They just disburse their parts...

Blower works fine... I'm talking about the fan noise I can hear coming from under the hood when I turn on the A/C. I'm sure it's the A/C one on the radiator that seems to cycle quickly? Thanks, Glenn

Good point, I'm talking about the A/C fan cycling off and on rapidly... On for 3-4 sec then off for 30 sec then it does it all over again.... Is this normal Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer--A/C? ya...right... 01 Forester L--A/C with the funny fan

I think just about everyone in the Subaru World has experienced this at one time or another Oh ya,... Welcome to the board! This place has all the answers :cool: Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

Driving without doors is just plain fun. Tube doors are the next best thing. However I have to wonder about the effect of the structural integrity of the unibody when the doors are removed? I think a good compromise would be a cut down door? ( Planting ideas in someone's head...)

My 01 Forester does just the opposite... I can hear the fan on for just a few seconds ( >5 sec) then it turns off for about 30 seconds. It does this endlessly. Is this normal? Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer--open air buggy 01 Forester--A/C seems to cycle fast???

The biggest difference I can see is... The 4 speed tranny has a one piece driveline The 5 speed has a two piece driveline which means more work. Along with the pedal box you'll need the cable for the clutch... Good Luck, Glenn

Sounds like a grounding problem to me

He was last on the board at 7:30 this morning. Give him a P.M. and see if he responds... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/member.php?u=3739 Just a thought? Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

Wow! My 82 Hatch only had 11.8 gal. My Snowmobile holds more gas Aparently the later Hatches had more capacity... Glenn 82 SubaruHummer--11.8 gal tank. 01 Forester--Way too small of a tank!

Wow you hit so hard your steering wheel is now on the wrong side Good looking car, too bad it's hurt. I love the scoop. Hopefully you'll find a donor and be able to get back on the roads. Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

Did you really expect anyone to really "design" one, manufacture it and sell it for a price that makes sence for an old Subaru? Whenever I hear these threads I just sit back and laugh I'd love it if it did but...Nothin's ever gonna happen! Deal with it.

Welcome to the board! Your in the right place. The GL-10's were certainly the nicest of the GL line. Is this for street of are you looking to modify it for off-road? Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer--GL Hatch in a previous life... 01 Forester--01 Ferrari in a previous life...

What about towing it... Once you get it there you'd have all kinds of brain power to get it fixed Get a rope!

So........ What kind of beast are you thinking of building that you need a turbo? The old GL Turbos were not that quick? Tell us your evil plans

Morgan, Do the math! Total your costs on getting your current lifted wagon back to a safe state. $$$ Total your costs on getting the hatch + lift + fixes to a working state. $$$ Subtract the $$$ gained from parting out your lift and other stripable/sellable parts. See what make the most sence. Once either vehicle is up to speed, you could assume both vehicles will need some repair work in a couple years anyway from general wheeling. So don't figure that into your equation. Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer--Trailer Queen! 01 Forester--Not Trailer Trash.

I could not picture what you guys were talking about. http://usmb.net/gallery/album82/1989_g After looking at them both, I like the quad headlights better too! I love the brochure section... Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
