So I've acquired an 85 Subaru Leone rally car!!
It is very clean and straight with all the right gear in it!!!
However it has been sitting around for the past 4 or so years due to a blown head gasket/cracked heads and an unwilling owner.
When I got the car it was almost a rolling shell, the engine had been stripped and put on a pallet with the rest of the parts put in a tub that sat outside for the duration of its mid life crisis. there are cars in the ocean that have more hope of running again over this ea82t.
Going off the cams log book I found stashed under the seat in a puddle of muddy water, this is the 5th EA82T that has graced this former champion of a car.
So its time for number SIX
The basic plan so far:
- source new EA82T
- full strip down and rebuild
- slightly bigger turbo and custom headers
- tmic or waic
- oil cooler
- small cancer removal in the front cowl panel
All thoughts and advice are welcome (unless you are going to try to convince me to do an EJ swap)
