October 19, 201015 yr Again according to Subaru the NA cars should have 3.9:1 final drive if equipped with a 5 speed. I never bothered to look up the autos. what this sounds like in the OP's case is just as the others are describing you are not getting full throttle. On the carby models there is lots to check but your description doesn't mention falling on it's face so we'll rule out a plugged jet and focus on linkage. also check your floor mats they can limit throttle pedal travel. with a low powered car you need to get all the throttle travel you can.
October 20, 201015 yr Author Will do. I keep getting side tracked from this however. I did some weight reduction to the dash by removing the stock AM/FM radio. However it got added back with a Sony head unit and 6x9s. I don't think its the carpet. I'll have to check on the rest when I get some light tomorrow. I did notice there is a bit of oil leaking (very slow - few drops from over night) from the valve covers.
October 21, 201015 yr your description doesn't mention falling on it's face so we'll rule out a plugged jet and focus on linkage. I did post to look at the linkage

October 22, 201015 yr . what this sounds like in the OP's case is just as the others are describing you are not getting full throttle. I also agreed with you so pwn if you like but I was pointing out your recommendation again. thanks for the smack down I'll stick my neck out again if thats what it takes to point out the obvious.
October 23, 201015 yr haha I was experiencing some "low top speed" issues with my 84. Throttle cable adjustment FOR THE WIN!

If you read the whole thread, I think you'll see why I posted it. If not, :facepalm: haha I was experiencing some "low top speed" issues with my 84. Throttle cable adjustment FOR THE WIN! To make it go even faster, maybe you should try pounding the firewall with a hammer so the gas pedal will go down further:lol: Jacob

October 26, 201015 yr meh, I was just messing with you guys, everyone gets so heated, I thought I would take some heat off the fire. Oh yeah? Well, my POS Subaru is more Subaruific than yours:mad: Lolz. J/K. Jacob
