Subaru sound and feel
I swear I can tell if the cars coming down the street are Subarus before they even pass. There is just a unique sound that no other car makes. Music to my ears.

History of the "Modified Subaru"
Is there a person, place or club that got the "Modified Subaru" going? We recently traced the history of USMB. We know the history of the board... Question; What is the history of the modified Old Generation Subaru? Is there a founding father of the modified Subaru? What I mean is, who was the first to lift a Subie. What were the first mods people did? Do we know the evolution of the Monster Subie? What is the history of the Off-road Subaru? Inquiring minds want to know! Glenn 82 Subaru 01 Forester

83' wagon front springs...
Just because the struts are new does not mean they can't be messed up. How high is it sitting? Is the front end saging? My bet is the springs are good. My .02 Glenn 82 SubaruHummer, still has original struts. 01 Forester, of course it still has original struts.

Where to find new temporary spare tire for '85?
I still have my 22 year old tire and it looks perfect. I'm planning on running it as my spare for the buggy. My bet is you can find a spare pizza cutter in good shape for spare tire purposes. Do a search on what size tires will fit under the hood. Seem as though this has been figured out before? My thoughts, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer with temp spare. 01 Forester spare with no air!

Dr. Outback... and richierich... have helped me with newer Subie parts. Both are great, Give them a P.M. Goodluck Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

0-60 in?
My Hatch got up to 60 once.......... But I forgot to time it! Glenn 82 SubaruHummer will probably never see 60 again. 01 Forester doesn't like to go slower than 60.

Turn Signal flasher
John, On my 82 it was on the fire wall near the steering wheel. I'd look up under the dash between the wheel and the drivers side panel. If it was like mine you should find two Quarter size disks (cylinders) with wire clips in a plastic holder. One of those will work the turn flasher. My bet is someone else will know exactly where it is! Welcome to the board! Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

Using spare tire 15" rims
I'd agree, get some cheap Toyota, Isuzu, Chevy... six lug and drill'em. A 4" rim will not hold a decent tire. You'll peal the tire off a 4" rim. Using a drilled rim you can use any tire you want w/o worries. My .02 Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

What kind of Gas Mileage do you get?
I always got 25-27. It didn't matter if I was on the road or city, my mileage didn't seem to vary much (when my Subie was still a car). Now I rarely get out of first gear, never been in third yet (as a SubaruHummer). I think my mileage will be way down now the fun is way up! Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

top speed ea81 =]
In all it's life my 82 Subaru had never been over 72mph. However, before I parked it and converted it to a SubaruHummer, I took it out and went to 74mph then parked it for the last time. I wanted to set a record before retireing my Subie in it's current state. The car is capable of faster speeds, however I never felt like I was doing it any favors traveling that fast. The 82 travels 55mph @ 3000. My wifes old 82 Honda traveled 80mph @ 3000. Glenn 82 SubaruHummer only been to 2nd gear as a Hummer. 01 Forester been 95 uphill..........

Brats, interesting
Insurance? What's this insurance thing you speak of? I didn't think anyone still had that sort of thing.

Where did you get those seat covers? I wanted camo green or tan and had to settle for camo blue because I couldn't find them. Lookin good! Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

84 GL Hesitates Big Time
What year is your Subie? I have TWO fuel filters in my 82 Hatch. One under the hood and one just forward of the tank by the pump. Have you done the basic tune up? If not do it! Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

2005 Legacy/Outback vs. Forester
Sweet82 replied to SteveA's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI think it kinda depends on what you want.... The Outback is a plush nice ride. You sit deep in the car. The Forester is not as plush. You sit higher and look down on the road. I was looking for either too. I test drove everything Subaru made. I purchased the Forester because I got a better deal. Both cars are going to get you from point A to B. Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

Hood Protector for '04 Forester
Sweet82 replied to Keeno's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI have a couple of them on my cars and they help with the rock chips but........ Stuff gets inbetween the plastic and the hood and then scratchs the hood. All kinds of stuff collects in that little space...... You also have to make sure the little plastic bumps that keep the plastic from touching the hood don't get lost....thus allowing the plastic to scrape the hood. I just took one off my Camry as it continually made problems for my hood. Not sure if I'm going to reinstall it or not..... They're not as great as you may think??????
