1981 Subaru 1800 4x4 Wagon review from Australia and New Zealand

Bloody drive shafts kept Snapping!

Condenser on the dizzy packed up.

Bad oil leaks.

My Subaru, I've had it for about 4 months now, and I've had nothing, but trouble with it.

My driveshafts snapped when I turned at the end of my street, and no I was not spinning the wheels.

I recently put a 32/36 weber carby on it, damn it gave it some power, until the condenser packed up on the dizzy, so I took it off and replaced it with the old carby. (at the time I didn't know why the car would not rev)

I have to take a 4L oil container everywhere I go.

However it does have a fair stack of power for a 1800.

I've also taken the front drive shafts out and kept it in 4wd, so it now is a rear wheel drive.

There is nothing more fun than a rear wheel drive car with the handbrake on the front wheels. Burnouts at the drop of a hat! (and the added advantage of low range 4wd, I mean 2wd)

I've added some extras to it, i.e.

4x100watt spotlights, dual battery setup, and cold air intake.
