tailgatewagon

so that was you with the 360 van that you were trying to dump.. ahh nuts when i didnt see it in your sig i figured it was gone. id relly like a van. anyway im in no rush and this post is more of a feeling what the local (usmb) feling is on the subject more or less...

ok i have 2 tailgatewagons. one is a driver it is in grate shap and runs and drives. leaks some oil and could use some tiding up but is in grate shape. no rust small dent in hood and front fender. also have car #2 has good trans and bad motor(no clue just told that when i bought it) anyway. has all the front sheet metal to match where firstcars dents are. intiror is in ok shape with good shifter boot consol(should be in first) lots of grate parts. and not relly any rust just hit in the back so un fixable even thought the tailgate still opens and closes. anyway im thinking of getting rid of them as i have an urg for a 360 or somthing like it..... what should i ask... $$$ i was thinking somewhere around 2k, if it were to be shipped i would take all good parts from car 2 and put them in car 1 for shipping... back of good car http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=2024&sort=1&cat=500&page=6 back of bad car http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=2770&sort=1&size=medium&cat=500&page=6 http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=2768&sort=1&size=medium&cat=500&page=6 lots of pix of good car http://community.webshots.com/user/subyguy

got the ski lodge for the day. a dog calll me 579 8263...

im running Nokins q studless i wanted the RSI but Got the Q insted anyway there on my 94 SVX. this car is very low to the ground and dos not have but maybe half the clearance of the car your looking at. anyway. i can push 1.5 feet of snow that is 3 weeks old. i also just took a 3000 mile trip with them only 300 was on snow and ice. and i only lost 1/32 of tread in 3000 miles of 75-85mph driving. . also when i was driving on the snow i felt comfortable at 80mph it was -26F out so that helped but they are awsome..... way better then the blizzak and they last longer...

what about the blue dash mossens????? looks almost perfect form the very limited pix......

ok forget a loyal or gl 85-94. if it were me i would only go for a legacy 91- 97 with a 2.2 in it. the cars are made much better then the old loyals so they dont shake apart as fast on the gravil roads. also you can ususaly find a RHD on ebay. of course most of them are high milage....... you should be able to get into a good legacy for around 3-5k, there is a 92 legacy wagon here in mint shape i mean the thing looks almost brand new only has 78k on it. but of course they want 4700 for it. as for tbelts the 2.2 is non interferianc and will serve you well. anyway good luck, and rember NO GL"S OR LOYALS,

there is one here in mt its from a jap importer

uh if its an rx then its probably a 4eat. if you need i can check the hoses on my 88 turbo wagon that has a 4eat in it...

ok i might be able to get a ski lodge for cheep. will sleep quite a few people and plenty of parking space will check on that tomorrow. ill be there and there will be alot of very cheep parts in my shed.... lets make this a swap meet also.... anyway im down and ill check into getting the ski lodge......

uh 5 Speed???? there were no 5 speed brats in 81 or any other year that i know of. or do you mean the DR4 speed that came in the 81 brat?????

i bet its the 30 .since it has timing chains and not a belt

well im no stranger to long trips in subys. but here is the latest. los angles to Bozeman MT in 17 hours flat. not to bad as we sepnt an hour in vegas( wieard overheat fans must not have kicked on. as i was sitting in traffic) anyway. svx got a solid 25mpg with 2 people, 2 LSD rear DIFFS. big suit case, -40 degree sleeping bag. watermelon, printer and a few other things.+ 200lbs of tools. oh yea it was 72 the high in LA today and when i came into bozeman the temp was -26. ..

oh yea its a 79 GL wagon. and i have the rears figured out. im going to re clock the torshen bars and make new stops for them to shorten there reach as for the front i was thinking of droping in rx springs and cutting them down. since there stiffer.(normaly putting rx spring in would raise the front.... other options i had thought of was threading the strut rod down farther so i can compact the spring more. but i thought the extra would probably blow the strut apart.

ok so ive i was going to make a stomper Gen 1 wagon. well ive decided to go lower insted. my svx gets around awsome in the snow 1+ foot with 225 60 16 snow tires on it and an auto trany that cant figure out what its dooing so the gen 1 will go low also. anyway i know i can cut the springs? dont relly like that idea as it want way more spring to hold some extra weight so what other options do i have. im thinking of going down oh 3 or 4 inches..... thanks would like to end up with 4 to 6 inches or so...

Subaru brat everytime you mention the 3.3 xt i go sick, man i would love to have that it would be like my svx but about 1000 less LB's you live in a world i dream off. (well not relly but close..)

hum 1 96 outback 89 GL 1 RX 2 Legacy wagons 1 98 outback, plue mine 94 svx 88 turbo wagon 79 wagon

thats cool. it has an lsd? man that was a very expensive option on the wagons. sounds like you got a good deal with alot of parts.

i miss spoke earlyer... the end that gos to the wheel is held on by 4 bolts the other end has one bolt that gos through the center that holds it on its like a yoke hooked on the end of the stub shaft.

um i know of a couple of sets. they bolt on the wheel end and on the trany end... the stub shafts are interchangle able from th eparts books ive looked...

if someone is going to mess with this here are teh cars i know of that had 4ws honda preludes, mazda mx6(no shure the years) mitsu 3000GTVR4 STELTH Turbo(all options) bassicaly VR4 NEW GMC TRUCKS 1/2 ton only.

it will be a quick trip in the morning but ill pull all i can. it is also going inside the shop (sitting outside now. and so it whould stay in good shape for some time...

looks like the one on ebay that was sold from florida i think... that one was a 75 (i think) red and white with the auto trans..... cool to see it

DO IT. btw dos that one have the crank start....

epoxie primer...

um i wouldnt spend the money on the tracker...... its basicaly a subaru without the subaru advantages... what you want is a cheep 4x4 toyota pickup. or subaru hatch. dont bother with the 85-89 subys. unless there a hatch. if you build a hatch. do this follow what zap and eric do with theres not shure off all the mods but i know its LSD-(or welded) welded is much better and cheep an AUZ lift From PK, trust me i would only spend my money on a pk lift... and ive built 2 lifts from scratch and had a pk lift. then get some little swampers.... thats the cheep and probably best way... if you do a toy pickup. do this buy a solid axle toy. put the rear springs in the front.(you will have to fab a longer front driveline. easy if you have a welder) more on that if you need use dubble mazda springs in the rear. no need for new drivline only move the front hangers forward... and buy 3 subys worth of tires(38x14.5 sx's ) and you will have a toy with 3 feet or so of travil and will be able to go in snow real snow... anyway think about what you like to do....... personaly i would do the hatch. because i like to rally the loging roads and whatnot. ive had both(87 dr 5speed 27in mudtireds subaru, and a toy like the one i described... and i like the subaru beacuse i like to go fast. .... anyway before it gets longer....... grate luck and either way you decide to go let us know i like seing pix and what not.......
