February 9, 200620 yr anyone have any pictures of old subarus lowered and "street racer" looking??? in perticular a gl sedan?? i cant decide what i want to do with my GL . . . off-road look or lowered racer look i MIGHT be interested in selling this car. im not sure if its what i really want. although i am quickly falling in love with it. but i thought id throw that out there ... maybe i can get enough for it to get what i really want ... not sure what that is ... sale would be pending on me finding a car too. this is my car. awaiting a new look. off-road or racer?? tell me what you guys think! and post some pics if you got 'em
February 9, 200620 yr Very nice car. As for lowered subarus...I'll refer this to subaru_styles (Brad). As for "Subie street racers" the only racing you're gunna be doing is how many football fields does it take to get going the speed limit. The newer gen subarus are fast(er) but not these. What people do, who like the EA82/EA81 body style is an engine swap. They put a new gen engine into the older gen body style. As for your car...very nice. That thing is pristine.
February 9, 200620 yr Author im not really interested in racing. haha i just want to look like i race.
February 9, 200620 yr thats not true i kicked a modded honda's rump roast on the way home from work tonight in my xt-6 although it is true that the newer gen cars are faster you can pull maybe 200-250 hp out of a old motor the trick i know of is to run i high compression turbo motor it gives you no spoolup time and one heck of a punch the one i rode in smoked 2.5 rs with out trying
February 9, 200620 yr barely tucking w/ 17's..wiht smaller rims and dropping the suspension i can go even lower:brow:
February 9, 200620 yr Author also . . . i MIGHT be interested in selling this car . . . im not sure if its really what i want. although i am quickly falling in love with it.
February 9, 200620 yr well, my EA82 wagon manages to get to around 60mph in less than a hundred yards, so that's not too bad only modification is the hitachi carb one where you make the second barrel work a little more actively.
February 9, 200620 yr hey that'd be sweet to see another old gen street machine on the road... but please oh PLEASE don't make it all show and no go... if your gonna make your car lowered with rims, ect ect please do some engine mods so you won't get blown out of the water by a civic... the EA engines are VERY capable... i wanted to use the ea82t in my brat but i wasn't to keen on chopping 2 inches out of my frame... you however are already blessed with one! if you get a high compress block from a carbed ea82 and put all the other parts from a turbo motor on it you'd get one kick arse motor... i've seen the results and they are VERY cool... trust me... that pshhhhh sound of the bov after shifting will turn way more heads(without the snickers) than any racer-look mod... subaru_styles car is an awesome looking car with the performance to back it up! anyway you go though, you'll love the car!
February 9, 200620 yr Brads car has no performance. In that shot, it was N/A SPFI and right now... well, i dont even think it moves Here's my car lowered. I cant talk tho... mine hasnt moved in 3 months either. -Brian
February 9, 200620 yr Author im not really good with engines. i raced my friend in his bone stock automatic civic . he beat me off the line but after 1/4 maybe 1/2 mile i beat him i didnt blow him away or anything ... but i beat him top 3 ways to make it faster?
February 9, 200620 yr if it were a carby I could help - but maybe try larger volume injector(s), performance chip? or a complete swap for an EJ22?
February 9, 200620 yr Author could i put NOS in it?? would it be easy to do? cause im all about the easy stuff. haha
February 9, 200620 yr Oh yeah... and the performance part: I still got blown away by everything out there from Dodge Caravans to Toyota Hybrids. My EA82T didnt have any low end grunt. The new motor im putting together should change all that. -Brian
February 9, 200620 yr Exhaust...open it up, but you have to mind emission laws. Intake...some people put a cone filter at the end of the MAF sensor. Good Tune Up... Good plugs, wires, cap, rotor. Those will free some horsepower... If you are wanting to use it for offroad...sell it and buy a car that isn't as nice...like a 87+turbo wagon that already has 4wd.
February 9, 200620 yr Author i honestly dont have a CLUE how much its worth. runs really well; its really strong. brand new clutch. and yes its as clean and nice as it looks. anyone know aprox. how much i could get for it?
February 9, 200620 yr well, generally if you open up the exhaust, you're sacrificing mid/low range power for high range power, pretty much as you do when you replace the intake (hint: there's a reason the intake's snout is a certain length... ) The easy stuff? I'd say if you were after more top end but less low end, go for the above - though me personally, I'd be more inclined towards performance chipping, giving it more fuel (i.e. higher volume injectors), and maybe (if you've got shedloads of cash), a supercharger Also personally, I wouldn't sell that soob. they're real nice cars
February 9, 200620 yr true, my first turbo was fast..until the 7" hole of death what the hell happened there?
February 9, 200620 yr yeesh! sorry for my ignorance btw, I didn't realise that's an engine block what does it mean to "throw a rod"? (sorry for the thread hijack)
