The Soob - '83 Subaru GL Wagon

Oh, I've also been trying to keep my foot out of it. The 5 speed is pretty fun to drive, I've been pretty easy on it though. Except for 2 occasions on the way to work, I kind of passed people at ~90mph and just generally wasted fuel in a rush to get places. It's amazing that 73 horsepower will actually get to 90 that quickly, I'm used to a 3 speed slushbox with 84 horsepower that takes forever just to get to 70.


The wheels that are on it sit in to the wheel well about an inch more than stock. As long as I don't replace the front brakes with new pads, this won't be an issue. Should I keep the inset wheels or go back to stock if I'm going to put flat wheel covers on it? I suppose the inset helps with making skirts easier to build.

Sorry about blowing up the thread, I just wanted to get some picture up
