Numbchux Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Cool beans! yea, I think that popped up for sale on craigslist awhile back. IIRC the guy cut the centers out of those wheels, and then welded them to the stock wheels (hence the negative backspacing ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky92 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Sorry Turbone..I couldnt resist to show a pic of your hatch.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Thanks:-p That reminds me....I got to go work on it so I can go play Monday:headbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeron Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 All I can say is that I would far rather have to deal with suspension and steering maintenance on this car: Than on this car: how did he keep the camber from being all fershnicket???? and the wear on those tie rod ends and ball joints.... *shudder* playing around with wheel offset is a tricky thing to do, and going that extreme should ONLY be done by those who know more about chassis engineering than I do... I know enough to keep myself out of trouble, and I know that suspension geometry is one area I need ALOT of education in to match up to the rest of my automotive performance knowledge hoard... so to restate, Turbone's hatch FTW.

Turbone Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Eh, my repair today was to remove a broken lower shock mount bolt. I guess it really didnt need to be removed....it fell out sometime last Sat when I went to the car show:-p So all I needed to do was find a new bolt and take out a roll bushing from another shock and it was ready to rock again:headbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corolla Frenzy Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 I'd love to see the suspension on all these jacked up scoobs without the wheels on. Wish to know more and see more of the green one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I'd love to see the suspension on all these jacked up scoobs without the wheels on. Wish to know more and see more of the green one! That's actually an XT6 on toyota solid axles. The green one is a Gen 1 (EA71) wagon with a standard 3" or 4" block lift. Not terribly common, but it's been done a few times. Mostly those are just rather rare in 4WD, underpowered (63 HP), and don't have a low range.

Corolla Frenzy Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Well I'd like to get some ideas and pictures to see what I can do to make mine a little higher. The ground clearance is badass, of course, but if I decide I'm bored enough and still have this subaru...weekend project! :clap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 The green one is actually a Hatch, like mine. But it is probably a EA71, unless its been upgraded. It might take more than a weekend to do a lift like mine or the XT6 pictured. Unless you have mad fab skills:-p Mine was worked on by 2 different previous owners, one of them the owner of that lifted XT6. Its pretty well built, as I havent tweaked it yet. And I dont baby it when I go wheeling;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 The green one is actually a Hatch, like mine. But it is probably a EA71Pretty sure GD was talking about the green wagon in the pic he quoted.. But, eh, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt6scoobyroo Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 this is still one of my favorites! WOW Who's XT is that? I gotta know more..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Pretty sure GD was talking about the green wagon in the pic he quoted.. But, eh, I don't know. Ah, ok......I see it now:-p My eyes are always looking at the XT6 and I forgot about the wagon behind it:rolleyes: It was built by mtfabsman (Mike, the guy I bought my Hatch from) and he sold it to someone else. The car was from Eugene, Oregon and dont know if its still like this or not. He made it so the subframe could be removed and everything put back to stock running gear. Heres a link to his for sale thread and link to his pics. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?p=359988#post359988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
