calebz Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Not done, but driveable. The only pics I had were of the car sitting in the garage. They just don't do it justice. So heres a new one for those that have been wondering (There will be a readers rides article coming soon giving more detail about whats been done thus far) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Not bad considering I saw it before. Might be time to do the before and after pics. When you were putting it back together(the first time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSSLGECKO Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I agree, that looks really nice. It makes me want a FT4WD Wagon even more. Might be worth tossing up before & after pics of your engine bay as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Cool, its all grown up What about the side skirts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 Might be worth tossing up before & after pics of your engine bay as well. Here's the engine bay when I got the car from XSNRG: Not much useful in it eh?:-p Now: Don't have any 'now' pics.. but this one isn't too old There are a few intermediate pics.. some with the old IC set up on the old motor.. with the old turbo;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticcal Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Which roof scoop / skirts did you use? I've been looking to use some.... ugly front end on the GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 No roof scoop.. The hood scoop is a WRX imitation.. similar in shape, but a little narrower and better suited to an EA82 hood. There are now at least 4 other people on the board that I can think of that are using the same scoop. They seem to work pretty well and are just the right size to allow airflow over the WRX IC. Front air dam, grill and skirts are from an 87 RX. Skirts and real lip are still in the garage waiting to be installed. Some time in the next couple of months, the car has to make a 5 hour trip, so getting it completed enough for that has taken priority over finishing the beautification process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticcal Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I was curious on how people are doing the 4 lug to 5 lug conversions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 5 lug? Find a 4wd XT6 and swap those parts over...control arms, front knuckle-hub assy and strut with the tie rod ends. rear...the hub and backing plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Yeah, looks alot better than before with those nasty looking 14" steels. I like the airdam and grill. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calebz Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Uh, you said it was driveable. Whats it running like? Inquiring minds want to know Its running pretty well.. A little rough when it first starts, but that mostly has to do with having the AAV disable I imagine. Main problem at the moment is that the car is louder than hell and it needs one new axle and an alignment.. Just enough that I don't want to drive it on the streets too much.

PoorManzImpreza Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 A whispered voice increases in intensity exponentially with every turbo wagon I see. It tells me those unalterable words, those seeds of obsession. I hear that voice creeping from my subconscious to my daily awareness. Slowly it is becoming a shout... You Must Run BOOST! You Must Run BOOST! You Must Run BOOST! You Must Run BOOST! And now after seeing your wagon, dude it is screaming my head off! Awesome job man, very sweet ride...
