In my searching for all things old Subaru in the last few weeks I found a "Glossary of Terms" with some pictures and descriptions of 70's and 80's Subaru parts and cars that I though would be some fun for the old hands here and a perhaps some help for the newer old Subaru owners here.

Yup, Miles Fox is the man!

Pretty sweet, but his LSD definition is wrong, RX LSD's had clutch pack LSD units, not VLSD units. Those came in later Impreza and Legacies.

as well as RX availability, I had an '89

 

black with gold trim and automatic..

Another few "not quite rights"

 

4EAT does not have a center differential. It has a hydraulic clutch pack identiacl in function to the 4wd 3at. the Difference between the 2, and what allows the 4EAT to be "fulltime 4wd" is that there is a computer controlling the excact amount of engagement of the clutch. the 3at was all or nothing. But again there is NOT A DIFFERENTIAL in the center of the 4EAT.

 

Another miss is the gear ratio description for single range trans. Listed as 3.7, only turbo models with the S/R 5-speed where 3.7 gears. The 3.9 single range came in 85-89 DL and some non turbo GL-10s, as well as in 90-94 Loyales.

 

One more is the listing of the 3at as all being 3.7. Again, later GL's(87 +) and Loyale equipped with the 3at were 3.9 ratio

My BRAT is the Gen 1 on there

I Found another one... (but I Wasn`t Searchin` for) ...The Hitachi Carburetors.

 

The Site says: 2bbl carburetor found on EA71, EA81, and 85-87 EA82

 

Not Only Loyales Got `em untill 1994, Legacies Came Here with Hitachi Carbs from year 1989 to 1993 in EJ18 Engines. That`s for our Latin American Market, same as Asian.

 

Kind Regards!
