Had a big crash at a rally event. Check out the fix up job I did in 3 weeks or after work and weekends!

 

Before and after pics attached. (I Hope???)

Nice one! Glad you fixed it. What size wheels are on that?

That is sharp! I love the rally wheels:slobber:

Do you have any of those pictures in a larger size? A real EA81 rally car... My dreams have come true!!!

Very Nice!

Awesome, whar mods do you have on that motor?

 

And i love that hood scoop:slobber:

i wonder what it would lok like on an L series?

thats hot...cant wait to get my rx all rallied out, or at least looking like it.

Yep got some higher quality photos, I'll put them in my gallery. Paint is good aye? its 2005 wrx blue.

 

Engine is a EA82 Turbo with a little work done. Running 10 psi with intercooler, oil cooler, 3 core radiator, custom extractors, removed power steering and air con, modified turbo for less lag (hits at about 2500rpm but flatens at about 6000rpm), external wastegate, 3" exhaust with no cat and high flow 3" exhaust, twin trumpet blow off value, K&N cone filter. Should have around 170hp, seems to be about as fast as other cars around this hp. But have beaten many 300hp + cars!

 

Hoping to fit a Legacy rear Viscous LSD I have, but just doing some research to see if its possible. Current running two single spinner diffs, rank! not much good in a drift!

if you're talking about the rear diff swap, a 3.90 VLSD from a 91-92 Turbo Legacy will bolt right in. it's stub axles are held in with a c-clip, instead of the bolts that the EA diffs use.

I have been told the Legacy VLSD I have is 4.11 ratio. To change the ratio back to 3.9 (or 3.7?) I can swap the crown and pinion right? but the stub axles will have the wrong spline count (mine is 23). Can I change the stub axles? how is this done?

car looks very good, and well modified. Do anything to the suspension?

Finding good suspension, gearboxes and diffs seems to be the problem with these old girls.

 

I have a 5 speed box with hi/lo and fwd. Currently single spinner diffs front and back.

 

Front suspension is standard Leone 1983 wagon suspension and back suspension is L series read shock absorber with no spring.

 

Abit rough but works OK?

 

Any better ideas for suspension?

If you want stiffer springs in front, you can track down EA81T front springs and anti-roll bar. They are slightly lower (Not by much) and stiffer (Again, not by much).

dude. you gota get yourself some suspenders like the ones i'm running

 

these are the fronts compared with stock EA82 stuff

 

and the rears

 

all on this thing

If you are interested in the ea81t stuff, a wrecker in cromwell had an ea81t wagon very recently. I can give you the number if you are interested.

"Do It Sideways" where did you get that suspension? Looks good! What brand is it?

 

"Ross" please give contact number for wrecker.

I would like to know about the coil overs as well.

that suspension is the hottness. how painful is the price on those?/ is it something like forget the vaseline expinsive?

 

i want

i NEED that! this buick suspension has to GO!

The suspension is custom made Bilstien coil overs. The front strut tubes are made from Chromoly. We use 250lb/in springs in the front, and 200 lb/in spring in the back. In the front we get about 7 inches of travel, and about 6.5 in the rear. You can play around with the spring rates and lengths very easily, as they use standard 2.5" coil over springs.

 

All in all..it runs somewhere about $1750 USD for a full setup. However, for us..it's all worth it

i wonder if that could be made in an economy form, not quite as highly refined, but still better thant the stock parts.

So is that something we need to contact Bilstein about, or Who?

Bump for info on the C/O's.

It's a guy in Seatle who makes them.

 

I'll dig up his email addy, and let him know you guys might be contacting him.
