What I don't like is the uneven, somewhat wavy lines that run along the body towards the windows. I almost had a pic, of a 1st gen Legacy from our Subbie meet on Wednesday. But I didn't have my phone :( There is someone around here with an older style wagon, I'll have to hunt them down for a pic.

Rear tubeframe rusted out... Wheel came off sort of, held it on with a ratchet strap and 2x4 to get off the trail :D

Is that your car?

 

How do you like the EA engine?

That is my car.

I love the ea81. No timing belts or chains to worry about. Very basic FI system, etc. It only has about 84hp though. That's the only downside.

And for the note, ea82 sucks. They are just plain awful. So by saying I like ea81 does not mean ea82 is good.

 

I hydrolocked this engine offroading in a mud puddle. I had forgotten my tools.... I used a come-along to get the car to dry ground. Used the starter to crank the water past the rings. A few more minutes of cranking and the engine sputtered to life. I drove out of the trail like this and got it home for an oil change.

Thats not the case. Every engine has one or the other.

Not true. It's an OHV engine, and the camshaft is under the crank driven directly by a gear.

I didn't know it was an OHV engine....but still, most OHV engines are still chain driven. WTF Subaru lol

I know. I've never worked on another engine (besides like a 5hp lawnmower engine) that had a gear driven camshaft. I know others exist, but not overly common.

All I have to do is look out my window. And oh HEY! Found one :D

And how could I have forgotten these!

My friend's 86 brat and my 89 GL out playing.

I actually blew up a front CV on this trip leaving the trails. No worries, put it in 4wd and drive home with RWD awesomeness.

He actually just sold it.

That brat has a 5speed dual range. Not factory, a custom swap from a GL. And it has a custom fuel injection system from a newer GL running the stock ea81. Same ideas as the stock FI running the older ea81 in my GL.
