Dude, get that Hoosier inside! They really don’t like the cold:

Freeze Crack Advisory
This advisory addresses proper storage and use of Hoosier tires in cold conditions. Hoosier Tires, especially asphalt and hard compound tires, may experience Rubber Cracking if the tires are transported, crushed, flexed or stressed when frozen. The following guidelines are provided to avoid this problem;

1. Always store Hoosier Racing Tires indoors at temperatures above 32˚ F.

2. If tires have been subject to 32˚ F or less, allow them to warm to room temperature (about 70˚ F) for a minimum of 24 hours before the tire is mounted, transported or flexed.

3. Always use spare tires not intended for future competition to store vehicles for prolonged periods of time or winter transport.

4. If below freezing temperatures are expected, please consider shipping tires once more favorable conditions exist. Do not use tires that have evidence of Freeze Crack Damage.

I saw that... but it still is out in the cold. I’m sure it’s fine, but race tires are really sensitive to temps, and those are some spendy tires to risk shortening the life of.

HELL YEAH BROTHER

[shmler]

guys that are running the wagon fenders on the 06/07's... what are you doing with the front suspension? I am getting ready to swap some fenders and hood do to a deer hit. Just wanting to make it look semi respectable.

[Twitch_PA]

Dont understand the question. Are you asking about sedan fenders? I'm running stock everything. I cut the **** out of my fenders and bought 2 sets of rear honda s2000 rear flares and made them fit. I dont care how they look. The car goes fast. They are painted with rhino liner.

The fronts just bolt right in and need the sedan wheel liners

[Peryn]

Hey guys, been lingering for a while and just joined NASIOC. Always loved Subaru wagons, they are very popular up north where I'm from!

I guess I should have worded it better. My question is about the suspension. The wheels are going to look very tucked with the sedan fenders on the wagon.

Oh! You can pick and choose your aftermarket wheels offset to correct that, sti hubs and front control arms help a little, wider wheels. My 18×9.5 needed flares with wagon fenders but may have fit with sedan fenders. And last but most popular, spacers and adapters. Sorry for the misread !

Not as much as you would think

17x9 +42 with Sedan panels and sedan suspension geometry




More aggressive 18x9 +35


Sti RA-R wheels 18x8.5 +53

Thanks !

I see you are in Michigan , I live in Troy if you ever have any other questions or are in Metro Detroit shoot me a message here , instagram or facebook.


The sedan geometry changes how the car feels as well , 5x114 also dramatically changes your wheel options / braking experience on track too.

Is that rear a juggernaut kit or a sedan rear swap?

All oem panels

The offerings sub $5000 for widebody kits were not to my liking so I stuck with oem parts.

If I wanted to go wild I would have went Launsport or Voltex

[Toh79DL]

Here is my 79 wagon. Currently getting a newer engine and drivetrain

[D-Rodman]

I hope you are planing on a rebuild thread of you 79 wagon. I’d like to see more pictures, thanks for shearing.

I will do my best to keep it updated. this will be my 3rd post so I should be able to make a thread now under the old subarus page. Here is the wiring harness I thinned out from a 91 legacy turbo. Ej22T is going into the 79. Also picture with the engine sitting in the 79. Going to have to put the radiator fans on the front side.
