New to the game
My name's Eli, and I live in the PNW, in the north eastern part of Washington State.
I'm new to the ecomodding scene, I recently picked up a 1983 Subaru wagon for 480 bucks with no exhaust and some electrical problems, but it's now roadworthy. It only has 93,xxx miles on it. FWD 5 speed, EA81 engine.
It still needs some things to be efficient, like an O2 sensor as it's currently running without one and idling at 1500 rpms. I've gotten over 150 miles on just over a quarter tank, which is a lot better than my other wagon does. I'll get a real MPG number when I use a little more gas.
I've been commuting 25 miles to work each way(and every day), and I have every intention of ecomodding it up on this wagon. Paid straight cash and I don't care about the resale value.
Definitely want to do at least a partial kammback and skirts as soon as I get some decent materials. I may just use cardboard for starters, but the weather here has been crazy lately.
Pictures soon. Lots of mods soon, too.
Has anyone here modded an old Subaru?
Eli
