Caboobaroo Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'm getting a '85 GL 4wd turbowagon tomorrow. EA82T with 500 miles on a rebuilt, EA81T pistons and rebuilt heads (a complete CCR engine). It also has a rebuilt 3AT and another spare 3AT for it as well. Its tan with a brown interior and in decent shape. Has a few minor issues but nothing I can't fix. Oh yeah, I want to thank Corky for this one:banana: This is the one that has been sitting at his place for a few years now:-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beataru Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I thought you did that swapiness or whatever that thread was called, because you were sick of these turds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 I thought you did that swapiness or whatever that thread was called, because you were sick of these turds... This car wasn't something I was going to pass up. Not really going to go into those details but it was a great deal. The only car I have right now is my "RX" which is still a SPFI coupe with RX drivetrain (minus the EA82T engine). Its going to get put down for a EJ22T engine and tranny this summer.

audio_file Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 5 ...... 4 ..... 3 ..... 2 ..... 1 ..... BOOM! ps. congrats on the car, it certainly is a nice one. ROFL, except i think you can eliminate numbers 3 thru 5 JK caboob, don't ignore and repress the wagon love that you are about to feel, it's a perfectly wonderful and natural thing . . . seriously, every time i climb back into the ol' soobiewagon, i fall in love again. . . . so comfy, so versatile, so not an SUV!!! chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subarutex Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Don't mod it! Drive it, enjoy it for what it is. Get that "RX" back on the road so you can REALLY have some fun. Trust me, having more than a handful of projects makes you extrememly poor, and none of them seem to progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, having more than a handful of projects makes you extrememly poor, and none of them seem to progress. No mod it seriously, so I can have an excuse to compete with someone, ex. I have to buy this bigger ball bearing turbo mom, why? because caboob has a faster car than me and that is un acceptable... :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 No engine mods are going to be done whatsoever, just a manual swap, some 5-lug love (since I have 2 other sets of wheels and tires) and basically about it. Oh yeah, I'm also hoping to get the EJ22T from Corky as well since he has everything and then some for the conversion:headbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4WDFrenzy Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 That is one sweet car! Congrats on getting a good deal. Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykingcrab Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Nice score Russ:cool: I was always an EA81 guy,an hesatent to get an EA82,especially turbo., I will eventually do an SJR carbed EJ22 when it goes south. But I am amazed how great my RX runs unusually good. Glad your going to keep it simple on that wagon. My only complaint is I need a dual core radiator.

edrach Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Russ, just for your information there's a Turbo GL wagon at Smokey Point. It doesn't look like it was too picked over yet. Rear disks still there; rear diff is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4WDFrenzy Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I'm getting a '85 GL 4wd turbowagon tomorrow. EA82T with 500 miles on a rebuilt, EA81T pistons and rebuilt heads (a complete CCR engine). Is it safe to assume that the EA81T pistons offer a better compression ratio? Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
