A rather different rwd BC7

[oskar_subaru]

where i come from i´m not exactly known for being mainstream with my cars,
this my latest project









it´s a 1990 BC7 2,2 GX

mods:
modified grille with two hella 450´s
headlight covers painted almost black with backlight spray (light still shines trough, or some atleast )
lip from a mk3 golf
cut front springs
converted to 5speed with hi/lo
RWD (transfer diff welded)

waiting to go in this week :
04 Sti struts and tein s-tech springs
foam spoiler of a XT6
3.700 LSD converted to 4.11
lots and lots of tires

what do you guys think ?

[Danny-G]

I actually like it, alot. I would clear the rear blinkers as it cleans it up considerally, maybe do something to darken the fender lights, and maybe some shiny for the exhaust too. Regarding the xt6 wing, theres probably a bunch on guy on www.subaruxt.com/forum that would love to buy it from you, that is if its a trunk wing.

yeah thanks i was actually thinking about darkening the sidemarkers yesterday, and i don´t quite know yet what i´m going to do in the rear,
about the spoiler, well i test fitted it today and there is no way in hell that that´s going on the car so i might just as well put it on ebay and post the link on the XT forum


last week when i got it =

Like the headlight covers! The Front lip is nice too! We're getting a collection of differant lips that will fit our cars and its a good thing! Nice find and good work!

thanks, it needs some handywork with a dremel, heatgun and zipties but i think it fit´s very well
HOWEVER, i tried fitting it to a 92-93 bumper, not even close

any interest in seeing videos of some RWD on/off ramp fun ?

[beatersubi]

In the states pre-facelift cars didn't have fender markers.

Why the hi/low with RWD?

[kimokalihi]

Gas mileage and mad acceleration yo! lol

because it´s only a reduction of 1.1 so it just gets of the line quicker and in a car that has not quite got the power to be a proper drifter then getting the right gear for the right turn is crucial, 10 speeds rather than 5 help with that


and it was already in when i got it


over here every single subaru has fender markers except for usdm imports

[oskar_subaru]

Took of my muffler today, welded in a straight piece of 2.5" pipe instead,
i was expecting it to be LOUD !, but it really is not inside the car its no louder than stock when cruising, and a little louder when i step on it or let off, i like it allot



aaaaaaaaaaand my headgaskets went today

[kimokalihi]

That ash is very good for the soil though. Crazy. Not good for lungs.

no good for cars either took about a handfull of ash out of my airbox after that trip and i didn´t get anywhere near where it´s worst.
also destroys your windshields if you use the wipers and some cars look like they have been sandblasted a little

[evolutionmovement]

How do you clean that? Just a water hose to get it off? I imagine you wouldn't want to wipe it off.

yup, a long long time with the hose, and you really don´t want a pressure washer, that really takes the paint of

and the memories come flooding back. I was living near the 25 mile line when Mt St Helens Erupted. It was like grey snow.

yep, but the closer you get it´s more like it´s just raining sand, well i guess it kind of is

[jefferson]

I have to ask about the lip on your car. I really like the way it looks and fits. Is it the oem lip or an aftermarket for a mk3 golf?

It´s on almost any mk3 golf over here, so i guess it´s OEM here, but i don´t know how you guys have it over there

[oskar_subaru]

headgaskets, again......



so i stole the motor meant for my wagon

[beatersubi]

At least you have a decent engine hoist.

[evolutionmovement]

That's what we used to use as a hoist to move big blocks at the marina. Much better than a crane.

spraying the doorhandles and the window trim black and that trunk trim transparent red like the tails


two of my legacys, fixing a gearbox oil leak and a bent shifter bracket on the gray one

[Florin1]

Haha. Sounds like you hammer on your cars pretty good. >:)
