So as a few of you know, i'm a former supra owner who no longer has one, but i have a few other interesting projects heres one:

90 Subaru Loyale Wagon. Cars stock right now, only had it a couple weeks, but this next week should be fun. bought it for 200 bucks

p1454173_1.jpg

Engine:
EA82 TBI 1.8L (throttle body injection, one injector for the entire engine)
its got 154k hard miles. when i got it it was running off two cylinders, had half a quart of oil ( later found out it was conola oil!)
so its got new sprak plugs, cap rotor, wires. oil flush and change with filter.
now it runs great, turns over the instant i turn the key, but its got no compression. does 0-60 in 49 sec! oh and an orbital 1200CCA battery

Drive line:
FWD/AWD button controlled, bend driveshaft from a bad 7' landing.

thats the only thing interesting right now. but this week im doing a 2" lift, 4x140mm lug to 6x5.5" lug conversion. toyota 15x7's. so ill be going from a 175/70R13 to a 225/70R15.

then this spring im putting in an EJ22T. its a block from a legacy and heads and turbo off an STI. so ill be going from a 35whp single cam 1.8L to a 250whp quad cam 2.2T. i need more power to turn the bigger tires lol and after the engine come the 6" lift 30" super swampers, and an exterior roll cage. ill update as i go.

I swear my bro had one of those...

Friends made fun of him for having a wagon, new kid in town said, "Know what we say about wagons where I'm from? More room for speakers!"

He beat the snot out of that car LOL

these things only have two 5.25 speakers stock. i might put some marine speakers attached to the rear roof. we got this thing 7-8' in the air and it is fine. stock original struts still work perfect lol

it comes with 175/70R13's. i put some 225/75R15's on it but they dont fit. im probably gonna go with some 215/70R15 i-Pikes since they are amazingly grippy and really cheap
with the big tires and lift i went from 8"s of clearance to 15"s of clearence. rollin on the stockers that i am now im at 10" with the new i pikes i should be lookin at 12-13 total clearence and a total of 4-5" lift. all for under 20 bucks including rims and tires!

Why not just raise it more? Why is it that your rear wheels sit so far forward in the wheel wells? They look really odd.
Click to expand...

cause this 2" lift cost me 10 bucks and i only had to lift the struts. if i go over 2" i have to lift everything, struts, torsion bars, diff, longer swing arms. bla bla. its much more intensive and its not my main project. and the rear tires, its a longitudinal swing arm setup, so the further down the tire is, the closer to the front it swings and vice vesa.
