DRFVDR Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 When I got her A couple of guys on here Knew this car before i got her namely Waimaks/Johnnyfive and Keltik as it was Waimaks before i got her she was in pretty good condition BAR the rust at the bottom of the "A" pillars so I welded the rust up and plated some Here is the stuff i used,also fish oiled the bugger to try and slow the rust down I also built an exhaust Down pipe of the turbo Mid section,Has since had an extra Muffler fitted as it was deemed to loud The nice shiney stainless muffler well it was till i painted it The engine as it got the car,EA82t 1800cc OHC turbo the only real change was a BOV and only because i was given it Next was the rims as i have a few sets to try it started with the original "H" rims which were a wee bit boring I tried these 13" ones first But i think these 14" are way better and as I got 2 sets of "rally" tires for $80 I should have tires for awhile How she looks now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jif Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Is the duel range like a mirages where there is only about 1000 rpm between high and low or is it like a 4WD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Something like that, I think the dual range on these is like 1.4:1 or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRFVDR Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Yeah it not a huge low range but it certainly makes a difference around town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jif Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Sweet that means you can go 1st low, 1st high, 2nd low, 2nd high etc. Or at least thats what I used to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRFVDR Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Yeah you can do that but by Christ its hard work it's hard enough doing it in the normal 5 gears as it revs hard and fast I usually just do high range on the open road and low around town....

mixmasterlex Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Soft spot for these. Those rims have potential. Can't be many of these around now? Does it have that crazy suspension that you can raise at the touch of a button? So high tech haha. Maybe that was only the leone's. Do they go alright? Never had the chance to drive a turbo one.

I've only heard of that suspension being an option on the Vortex, the coolest Subaru ever? The Subie turbo engine of the time was supposed to be pretty slow, according to period car magazines. No idea of its tuning potential. But I've always liked these Omega fastbacks too. They're an uncommon sight. Do they come with a digital dashboard, or spaceship / jet fighter style controls? And did some mod just amalgamate the threads about this car into the 'other projects' forum? Guess I better not start arguments about what's oldschool..

DRFVDR Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Well no this does not have the adjustable suspension, there was 2 setups a pneumatic and a hydraulic I have a full hydraulic set up in my shed not sure if I am going to install it.. I also have this Which had the digital dash and funky steering wheel/gear lever BUT I am scrapping it as it is to far gone have sold the dash to recoupe some of what it owes me,I will also use the intake manifold on the upgrade I will be doing to the RX in the near future...

johnnyfive Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I'm glad this ended up in a happy home. Wish I had the money/devotion to do more with it when I had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
