Caboobaroo Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Well since my thread over in the Retrofitting forum doesn't get as much traffic as the older gen forum, I decided to share some pics I got today of my coupe. '87 GL EA82 SPFI coupe. Was FWD 3AT, now FT4WD d/r 5-speed, locking center diff, full 5-lug conversion and lowered with Impreza coilovers. Flame on!

WoodsWagon Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 You need to get rid of the fat lip on the front and put on an 86 pre-5mph bumper on it. They look way better without the extra shelf sticking out. The '86 bumpers are flush with the turn signal lenses, so all the bumper that sticks out beyond the lenses is extra. And I won't comment on the fart can.... Looks good otherwise. Could you get any action shots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baccaruda Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 the Fat Lip can take more of a hit than the flimsy 85/86 bumpers. Those things are worthless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 So today I was debadging the rear hatch and low and behold, the whole car has been repainted and not very good I might add. Ugh, guess I'll have to shoot it when I get to Washington and find me a paintbooth I can use for a half a day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik litchy Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 ugly wheels should look good with new paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 ugly wheels should look good with new paint 15" steelies + brand new Fuzion 195/60R15 tires = $188 I had the wheels when I did my 5-lug swap and they were free. I just put new tires on them and called it good until I get some nice LGT 17's but thats a little ways down the road. These will work until I move and then some. Beggers can't be choosers:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moosens Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Looks funkalicious! whatever that means.... To me it's pretty cool and shouldn't get ripped off.:-p Cheapy hubcaps will spice it up enough for now.I know what you mean about the can.They do sound better on the flat four than Hondogs. You want one of those rear wingy/spoiler things?I've got a very decent one.If you get my wheels from Mudrat and ship them (I'll cover shipping even though John should) I'll send you the "killer tail",just cover that shipping.It's black,JSYK.Came off a '90 RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the black steels to cheapo Wal-Mart hubcaps because it looks cleaner and there's nothing to take away from the car as a whole. I'm not going for flashy at this point in time but it will have some nice rims on it eventually, probably after the EJ20G swap. Jeff, thanks but I'm stickin with the less then $200 for my wheels right now. I'm moving remember? I'm tryin to save as much money as I can currently so I got some to live off of until I can get a job in Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 The spinny spin type hubcaps are kinda funny too.I have seen a couple fly off on the highway! Har har har, funny guys... I got my roofrack installed and I'm still working on getting my interior finished with all my new speakers I bought. I also got my awesome checkerboard seats in it as well, hehehe. I noticed the other day I was having an issue with my shift linkage being sloppy. Looked at my FSM and low and behold, the rear mount that has a rubber piece in it like an engine mount, had busted off before I installed them and I never noticed it. Now I know why my shift linkage is all funny. Gotta find me an replacement bracket:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
