I love GC8's for their ability with engine swaps to destroy simply from a power:weight aspect.

 

No doubt about it, there is just something that much more brutal about GCs; where they give a little in chassis flex, they take it right back in weight savings.

 

Updates! Once the rear diff guard was all fitted and buttoned up properly, we fabbed a tough front skid plate to make sure our EJ20 stays healthy in the slop. Oorah!

Let it never be said that this is a show car, quite the opposite. It gets driven with all due respect to the upgrades and mods, so after a little fun in the snow, a change-your-drawers powerslide means we need a new corner light and a touch-up for the bumper.

 

wow dude, it's coming together, why's your suby badge flipped?

 

Haha good eye, just to do something a little different. Thanks so much for your comments.

 

No one ever said driving subies in dirt, mud, snow, gravel would be cheap.

By the way, I notice a lot of German guys flip their BMW badges also. Is it a European thing?

 

Hahaha that's for sure, but it's a Subaru, so like a dog, it needs exercise! Not sure about flipping badges in Europe, we did it just because the car is so different and modified from stock.

 

What happend to your front end?

In too deep, or just another day in the life of a Subaru?!

 

Over the river and through the woods...

 

lol!!! The life of a Subaru actually being used offroad, or on roads not being snow plowed.

 

wow a winch mount on subaru is needed?!?!?!?

 

Hehe thanks for your comments guys; if we wanted to just look at it, would be a lot cheaper to get a poster.
