And it's an auto.

Auto is good in this case, the turbos did not come with the dual range. Might look into the center diff lock mod and see if you apply it to this car. Don't know if it has a TCM though.

Carl, the turbos came in dual range if drive on the proper side of the road.

Nice! We didn't get turbo wagons over here - but that doesn't matter as I now know an EJ will easily fit in there >

Pity its an auto - the manual would've had a centre diff lock and may have been dual range - the RXII coupes are DR AWD with lockable centre diff, another awesome subi we didn't get over here

I dunno if the locking centre diff switch mod will work on these gearboxes - at the very least you'd have to rebuilt the guts of the centre diff as it'll most likely be shagged out. Check it out and let us know how you go with it.

The mags look wicked - 14 inch would be great but we've gotta work with what we have right?

Hope to see this L morph into an offroad moster! GO THE MIGHTY L!!! Just hope you like the EA82 motor...

Cheers

I've decided that I'm going to retrofit D2 Rally coilovers under it, run 215/50/15 tires, convert it to 5 lug and use some 15" subie wheels, and make a custom turbo-back exhaust for it. This one is going to be a rally machine!
