ea81 coupe question

Featured Replies

Did subaru make a EA81 4wd d/r 2dr coupe? if they did how rare are they? if they did make it i want to find one someday.

No, they didnt. The only Coupe that was 4wd was the 83/84 Turbo Coupe, and it was a 3AT with single range 4wd. It would be quite simple to take a 5spd 2wd Coupe and convert it to 4wd D/R. A little bit harder if its a AT tho. They did have a 4wd Sedan, not sure what year, or if it had a S/R or D/R.

YES, they did make them ;-)

I have a 1983 EA81 twin carb 4WD D/R 4 speed 2 door Coupe, all factory.

yea, i'm aware of that.. but they still made them aye, thats what he asked;)

Don't feel like i shut you down or anything, just saying my bit, about what i know.

Thought i should post a pic of the old girl...

 

I'm moving to NZ and getting one of these if there is another...

 

:headbang:

Well, we certaintly have the stuff here to make one just like yours. We can get the dual intakes and we have lots of EA81 Coupes available. Is your a 4spd?

And dont worry, I'll admit when I'm wrong. This was a generalized question, so it can apply to the whole planet I guess.:drunk:

not the "most" common car on the road around here :cool:

But there are a few around town still...

 

I'm after a hatch now.. they just never seemed to make it to NZ.. I've only ever seen ONE in person in my entire life!

But oh yes.. it will be mine...

Yes, standard D/R 4 speed, just like in the brumby's (brats)

Yea, you could certainly make one out of parts ...

I've got a Supercharged EA81 ( MR2 supercharger ) which I'm thinking of placing in it... but it's kinda nice to leave it old skool original with the twin carbs. It's got a hot cam, so it revs like mad and has such a wicked "twin carb" sound.

Only 2 in Oz... jeepers.. i don't have a hope then!

Perhaps i should look at importing from the states? well, i'd have to be super keen to do that i guess due to the cost involved.

On the subject of lifts.. i've been wondering about putting a 6 inch lift in the coupe, i enjoy the offroad more than onroad, hence the lift and mods to the brumby..

but i just figured a hatch would just be a better option than the coupe.

I guess that comes down to personal preference. The hatchs have a shorter arse than any other model don't they?

Sorry Donald.. i think i hijacked your thread. Hard to NOT talk about these coupes:headbang:
