hey, i have an 87 gl wagon that is my newest project. i'm new to the suby world as well. can't find parts at all... looking for some help.

 

right now got the axle back muffler off. looking for some kind of cat back to here that boxer rumble.

 

going flat black with flat black stock 13's for now.

 

limo tint all the way around

 

tinted tails

 

8k hid's

 

want to slam it but 1: im broke 2: ive never cut springs 3: cant even find anything aftermarket for the car

 

and a good system..

 

any input or ideas from anyone?

use the search option on this forum.

 

it's slick.

 

you'll find what you need

find time to get a seasonal part time job and get real suspension parts after the holidays. cutting springs is just not safe (ok, thats debatable). Do a search and see what coilover setups people use (although, most people here lift up the cars vs drop). i think there was someone using the cheap ebay setup, rides stiff as hell but it'll probably give you the lowest drop.

Project murder wagon huh:-\

 

Well to each there own.

 

As far as aftermarket support goes, these vehicles have none. You can do searches but pretty much, cross breeding subarus will get you results. Definately look up an alternator upgrade before you install any huge type of stereo.

If you are in Marysville, WA - Look up One Eye here, he might be able to hook you up with some parts etc.

I'm a big fan of "murdered out" rigs.

Heres my some what MO'd RX...

My 95 Imp,

My old 92 SVX,

 

And heres a few that are awesome examples.

 

I could keep this up for a while :-p

If you can't tell, he likes black cars

And as for MO'ing your car, well, you can mod honda stuff to fit (idk what)

but it'll make your car ride like it has the body welded straight to the axles if

you do it wrong.

 

You can put shocks from a car that is lighter than yours on there ie, sedan shocks or if you can make them fit, hatchback shocks as they will lower it,

but will increase sag as they weren't designed to handle such a heavy car.

i was suprised to read that was all vinyl! looks good fo sho.

can i just get a clarification, that that is called satin black?

i usually hear it just called "flat black"

there's actually like 5 or 6 stages of Black

 

Gloss, Semi-Gloss, Satin, Semi-flat, Flat, Ultra-flat In that order

 

-Bill

or black denim

And in the NW going with anything flatter than satin will grey out on ya after a few bad weather trips.

And washing does nothing.

 

I flatted out my GL when I first bought it and these days it looks more like primer grey than black. Even the powerwasher does not bring it back.

The flat black soaks up road grime/mud like a sponge.

 

Those all black Imps look awesome.

 

I remember way back when I blacked out the alloys on my Golf all the other "tuner guys" were disgusted by them and thought I was crazy. I just hate shiny things.

 

Nowadays it's all the rage and you don't have to black 'em out yourself, you can hit up the local tire store and buy black wheels. Sure would have made my life easier back then. hehe

Cut springs. Do it, you won't.

you should just lift it and wheel it like the rest of us

You might want to look into doing a 5 lug swap. That'll make it possible to get Impreza struts with coil overs up front. For the rear, Numbchux did some good testing with Miata parts.
