Here's your help.

 

XT struts bolt into standard EA82 bodies. Same thing... but 2WD XT struts are 2" shorter than standard EA82.

 

More info, if your car is 4WD... it has the tallest struts subaru offered for your model year.

 

THats a start.

 

Also, body kits are out there. RX coupes have them (my car). Pretty bolt on and mild look.

Since your car is SPFI and not turbo, i would suggest upgrading to a 2" exhaust. If you dont have emissions, dump the catalytic converter if you can.

Race like this :rx.jpg

or racer like this:4732sprint.jpeg

Hah hah..that's my old car (the red one).

Dude do what you want with your car...who cares what others think...your plan so far sounds good...who doesn't want nice sound and wheels! No Joke. More power to you.

what about wheels. they are soooo hard to find!!! i tried searching for peugoto wheels but i dont know what kind i need. are peugoto the only ones that fit subarus???

hmm...as what i can see from my point of view is that he wants mods RIGHT NOW. that is not the case. i'm in the same boat as he is but i can wait for mods. i am aware that my wagon will not perform the same as a WRX without an ej swap. look tyler like the subaru junkie said, go with an RX body kit. i'm gonna do that and slap a sound system into my wagon. i'm gonna also put the xt struts later. then drive my current engine til it dies. then hopefully with $$$ do the ej swap. best advise drive it til that engine dies. and then you know the rest :rolleyes: . hey also tyler, don't take anything personal alright? we're here trying to help you. and don't feel bad because we both are on the same boat. all we got to do is be patient. :)

Don't forget about these:

hey i definitely would like to have wheels like those for my wagon :cool: . it would look nice.
im not in a hurry...i just happen to have money now...i usually dont.
lucky guy, i'm broke right now :mad: . any way how much do you have? if you have enough, go for the stereo system :)

Money?? Contact me. I have some springs you could put in your car that would drop the front end about an inch.

 

Might also be able to find a rx kit. they show up in yards all around

 

-Brian

i'll take your money

or you could just get a nice sterio

This works for me:banana: :clap:

I kid I kid..

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

LOLZ. That was the worst chop evar!

 

 

So Tyler, here's Cliff Notes for you:

 

 

  • 2" exhaust to Dynomax Super Turbo Muffler
  • MAF adapter with cone air filter
  • XT spings and struts
  • 4 door RX body kit

I'd would do....

A: sell it and get a turbo gl.

or

B: start off with a better platform. ie; legacy, impreza

 

dont waste the money on a 2wd spfi

my parents want me to take my car to a shop to get looked over. i dont want to cause i dont want to have to pay twice as much as it should cost.

 

So im looking for some one who will look over my car for me, do a little tune up stuff, install a new clutch, ect.... id be willing to pay you ....i want some one who really knows old subies.

 

i think it has an electrical problem so a good knowledge of electrical systems would be good.

 

i live in lynnwood right next to alderwood mall.

 

let me know if your interested or know of someone who might be.

PM me if you want, I might be able to come over on Saturday. Don't have time to do a clutch for a while yet, at least until I get my 72 buildup done, but I can give it a thorough checkup.

please dont tell us your parking lights are stuck on! :lol:

no my parking lights arent stuck on....

 

i dont know/think anything is wrong but the guy i got the car from said he thought it had an electrical problem. so i thought it would be worth checking out.

 

also the check engine light is on. what does that mean??

Youe CEl should be checked... goto like.. autozone, or something like that, they'll do it up for free. I say you lift it to the sky and throw some 33's under it :clap:

well i might as well throw my .02 in as well. Sell the car. you might be able to get a grand for it, since it is in a nice condidtion may be more. then go out and buy a 4wd wagon/sedan for around $500 to $800 and lift the piss out of it or turn it in to a nice rally car. that is what i will be doing with my wagon soon. i'll post pics in a week or so.
