1986 Subaru Leone RX TURBO STi

its not a BRZ / FT86 / FR-S its your great great great grand father of the blood line !

1986 Subaru GL-10 Turbo AKA The Leone

we start of with a stock 1986 Subaru GL-10 FWD TURBO orig 28,000kms 17398.miles. weight is 910kg 2002lb car !!



the parts car for awd and 5x100 86 xt6



so what we have hear is to add the 4WD system into one of these cars, those are 20MM sway bars, above the sway bars is what holds the diff, about that is a mix and match of old and new to hold the STi 6mt, above that is a updated version of control arms to hold the 5x100 knuckle.



rear axle XT6 for the R180 3.900, there is a trick to these where i mix the outer with the new style inners to run a R180. or i could just stay light weight and put a R160 in it.


cusco motor tranny mnt


ARP head studs, Cam & Crank sensor new oem


Spare EJ22T Built @ SUBARU TECNICO INTERNATIONAL



just got a little eye candy from Jon at full race coming soon !!


Well got half the brakes sorted out for the project


so got a little oem new parts in today xt6 wheel bearings, xt6 steering tie rod, mustache bar bushings, and new diff support. also have 2006 wrx 2pot rear backing plates, but i sent them out to a friend's machine shop to make a ring for the centering ring



new turbo set up full race twin scroll







so parts list is
VER 8 Sti complete
Vi-PEC V88
EXEDY ?? dont know yet maybe multi plate to hold the power
SPARCO seats: maybe, kind of want it stock but need support lol
Rims: gc8 and volk jdm if i can find them
Tire's : RACE SLICK lol for evey day haha !!
new rotor pads that wont stop this much power to weight lol

my rear control arms, that me and my dad had to make a tool becuase no one on the plant has one lol



little thermal coat so then i can wrap them

got some tubes to make my wastegate pipes longer away from everything


Little powder coat action


Got my 2006 wrx backing plates all fixed up so they can fit on the hub the xt6 hubs as instructed from Suberdave !


So I went and picked up a Jdm spec c version 8 (maybe type RA?) motor swap Ej207DW7ER TY856WB6JA for heads and tranny diff and way ever else I need to twist my leone in to pretzel lol





Also I was driving to see the boys at Nvauto and I seen a gc impreza on top of another car scrap yard ! so I found the rims I wanted for a steal 250. So I sent them out to the sand blasters to get ready for the powder coating. I'm thinking world rally blue color for the rims



started stripping for what i need



SUBARU TECNICO INTERNATIONAL
EJ22T built bottom end, JDM EJ207 STi Version 8 Type RA heads all oem !



finished wrapping my headers and turbo



and got my PURPLE KUSH rims back from the powder coaters, two more sets to do with other crazy colours
