3eyedwagon Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 You're right Bob. That above post is wrong. Early 80s stuff is referred to as 2nd gen by most everyone I've ever known. As in 1980-1984, and of course there are ALOT of runovers, but, in general that roundier cooler body style. The later 80s (like 85 & later) stuff is 3rd gen. The square body ones all the way up to the Loyales. RX's. etc. That's all 3rd gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is basically right, except he started counting with 1 being the 360's and microvans, instead of starting with 1 as the 70's cars. I've also heard the EJ series broken out separately -- e.g. a 1990 to 1994 legacy is 1st gen EJ series, and a 1995 to 1999 legacy is a second gen EJ...

zyewdall Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Sucker King & Will thank you very much Ill be swaping parts from 3rd to 2nd gens and its easyer typin gens than all that other info In the US at least, we often generically call the 2nd gens EA81's, and the 3rd gens EA82's, because that's what engine came in them here.... though that apparently isn't true in other markets.

(Framed windows and new engines) EJ and EZ Legacy, Outback, Impreza, Forester, Tribeca Is that better? I just thought it would be better to separate the 360's from the standards in the original post.

4x4_Welder Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 They are seperated from the standards- "gens' usually refers to GL-series cars and later, so: 74-80 (81 for Brats) 1st gen 81-84 (89 for Brat and Hatch) 2nd gen 85-93 3rd gen 90-? 4th gen The EA82 OHC engine had it's own body style, generally referred to as the EA82 style, which continued as the Loyal for a couple years. The Legacy came out in 90 (or 91, not positive) and introduced the EJ series engines. Generally, when swapping parts, people just say Legacy, EA82, EJ, EA81 etc. It's simpler that way.

zyewdall Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 The Legacy came out in 90 (or 91, not positive) and introduced the EJ series engines. Yeah, 1990, in the US. I think it might have been 1989 in Japan. Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
