September 9, 201015 yr About a year ago i bought this this -91 mpfi 5spd d/r Leone for 40€ ( about 51usd). Unfortunately i found out that engine wont fit my Legacy, so... Hatch? Pick-up? nah... too big overhangs 2" lift, 6lug conversion and 33" at's for winter and 225/75-15 baldies for summer (I'm trying to find better tires) Long travel (stock) suspension Found some practical use for subbie... Some short clips... Allmost forgot... (edit: Fixed the last video link) Edited September 9, 201015 yr by TommyH
September 9, 201015 yr I like it.Is there anything that you can move to the rear by the hatch to help with it nosing in when you jump it? Edited September 9, 201015 yr by Uberoo
September 10, 201015 yr Hey Tommy , that is artwork ! Nice job , doesn't look like you have too much into it other than time . very ,very , cool ! Two thumbs up ! all the best , Murph
September 13, 201015 yr Very nice I like the mods, got a better aproach angle, what radiator are you usein?
September 14, 201015 yr Author I'm glad that you like it. monstaru: I'm from Finland. That car is just my daily driver. Opel Omega, German cop car replica uberoo: Cooling system is maby the only thing that can be moved back for now. I'm going to install a Suzuki Sj410 t-case with 3" lift and try to move front and back subframe forward 4-8 inches and engine couple of inches back. That should move the center of gravity. Also rollcage and bigger gas tank (25L -> 75L) will help. Scott in Bellingham: At earliel pictures its a stock subaru radiator. Latest radiator is from Vw Golf mk2 1,3C with radiator cap fitting from Yamaha Exciter 2 (snowmobile) Has anyone done t-case install with 3" lift? Project pics would help. I'm wondering about front diff and engine placement... Edited September 14, 201015 yr by TommyH
September 15, 201015 yr t case lifts are normally done with 6-10" lifts because otherwise ground clearance would be sucky.unless you cut out the floor.there still wouldn't be alot of clearance under the front diff though.
January 27, 201115 yr Author Time to update front suspension. I'm trying to fit Lecacy hubs and shocks (2wd BACK shocks). Here is Ej18 2wd front(lower in picture) and back shocks. Back shocks seem to have 2" more travel than front at 8,8" of travel Planning to run on 12" wide 27" ATV tires with redrilled rims. Only 10" wide 25"'s in picture. Made some 5*100 -> 6*139,7 adapters Lots of clearance Btw. Does the 2wd inner joints fit ea tranny? or do i have to fabricate custom shafts.... Edited January 27, 201115 yr by TommyH
February 11, 201115 yr Author Do you notice anything wrong in this picture? Maby this clip will explane everything... ps. Here is our old setup in action: Edited February 11, 201115 yr by TommyH
February 12, 201115 yr that's a great! I was wondering what the fairlead was doing by the wheel until i watched the video. Is the camber on the left wheel off, or is that an optical illusion
February 12, 201115 yr Author Hmm... It might not be an optical illusion Stock front suspension dosn't seem to be able to handle Motocross track jumps
February 15, 201115 yr Tommy! Congratulations from neiberhood country-Latvia! Great job! Is it possible to find any Leone (Loyale) in Finland? Janis.
February 18, 201115 yr Author Tommy! Congratulations from neiberhood country-Latvia! Great job! Is it possible to find any Leone (Loyale) in Finland? Janis. Thanks Janis. Leones are gettig rare in finland, good ones are very very rare... You can check out availability yourself at http://www.nettiauto.com/subaru/leone/
February 22, 201115 yr Thank you Tommy. I will visit this link regularly. My previos 3 Leones came from Germany, but it becomes harder and harder to find Leone in Germany. Janis.
March 8, 201115 yr I recommend hood pins so you hood doesn't fly up and smash whats left of your windshield. with no window you could just wear ski goggles though... Awesome video through!
March 8, 201115 yr Author I recommend hood pins so you hood doesn't fly up and smash whats left of your windshield. with no window you could just wear ski goggles though... Awesome video through! Hood didn't leave a mark on the windshield. Fortunately hood is so flimsy with that hole in the middle There is rubber hood straps trying to keep hood closed. Next time i might remember to hook them properly ...btw the windshield is a nice accessory driving around at -25 degrees Celsius (-13 degrees Fahrenheit)
