1981 Subaru 1800 4x4 Wagon from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

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.

And you wonder why the drive shafts snap...
