Hey to all... just thought my first post should be a preview of my lil subies, not much to look at atm but so much to do so many plans so little time (work sucks tha life outta ya doesnt it lol)...


anyways my first soob (now my older bro's.. selling soon if anyone is interested)
Blue 1800GLF5 coupe, smaller 4 stud hub cnversion, lower stiffer, front + rear sway bars, 200000 od kms, 5sp man. Analogue dash. full suspension + bushes + stearing etc. rebuild less than 10000kms ago...

then i got the oldskewl beast, brilliant interior (except cracked dash and tiny rip in drivers side vinyl seat. made a sweet custom rear parcel shelf n modified where the old AM radio use to be as neatly as possible, 1600 DL 3sp auto prob around 4million kms (clocked over a few times cause it only goes to 99999kms)...

THEN i got another coupe with digi dash, poo brown interior lol... now decided to swap it out to killer 4wd setup (from my silver 4WD coupe)+ extra touches.

now my 4WD coupe after 4WD + lift kit etc. has been taken outta it. (see first photo with all subies in it...) digi dash low kms neatly done with all 4WD badges + stickers + 4WD centre console...will convert back to 4wd or maybe AWD later on...

SORRY BOUT THE LONG POST BUT THAT KINDA SORTA BIT OF MY SUBY STORY UP TILL NOW (heaps more storys about each car but to much to post)

PS. HAVE A YARD FULL OF SPARES INCL. WHEELS, TYRES, ELECTRONICS, DASHES, BUMPERS, SWITCHES, HEADLIGHTS + TAIL LIGHTS, INDICATOR STALKS, WIPER + HEADLIGHT SWITCHES, FROM WAGONS AND OTHER SUBIES...

GREAT TO BE PART OF THE SUBIE WORLD...

I like the series 1 photoshop work ... good to see something different.

Nice little collection of MY coupe's - probably the best looking coupe Subaru have made yet. How did you change your bolt pattern - redrilled to 4x100 or similar ?

thanks mate, yeh i try to keep em in the family cause i hate when people ruin a nice car...
yeh had the hubs redrilled to the smaller 4 stud pattern cant remember either 4x110 or 4x100 whatever the old datsuns are i think...
i have a spare set of redrilled hubs available to fit 2wd subies (front disc rear drum setup) for whoever reads this and get toey over the idea of nice choice of mags... lol

post isnt too long you have many subaru's to show off.
welcome mate

Nice collection mate!
I love the oldskewl beast, i hope you can get it like your first photoshop

I like those 2 door coupes! And I've only seen one photo before of the earlier model old school coupe. It's great!

i kept searching lol... some people think i have a fetish...
i will have to add some more threads, my gold coupe, now 4wd 2" lift, L-series controll arms, custom radius (original ones i cutomised n made em adjustable adjustable), custom cv shafts in fab shop, steering rod adapters (to make em longer hehehe) being fabd too... it is a basic model so no AC or PS so there is plenty of room in engine bay, gonna hook up an ea81 AC pump n find a nice alloy air tank aswell to make a nice 4x4 air supply for tyres etc. then trim guards as neatly as possible n fit 27" or 30" if i wanna get serious lol we'll see what the budget accepts...also want to simplify interior for 4x4n so its easier to clean out n look after...also was thinkin seam welding but way further down tha trac...
btw anyone think i should just keep addin to this thread or make a thread in cons n mods forum???

previous owner had a jap import motor put in it then rolled it off a small cliff the next day so we bought it n chopped the roof cause it was obviously squashed in, then removed all the parts we needed... then gave the shell to a scrappy...

some more piccies of the old beast...

the blue soobs my coupe...
the hubs were re-drilled to a 4x114.3 stud pattern.
has refurbed/re-jetted twin carb set-up and the usual 2" sports exhaust. aswell as what my bro has mentioned about all the bushes, suspension etc re-done underneath.

SOMEBODY PLEASE BUY IT AND LOVE IT....

2coupedup, you wouldn't happen to have one of the analoge coupe dashboard display and surrounds available would you?

I'm after one for a brumby, but in no real rush - also need to know how hard this would be to wire into an original brumby's loom...
