subaruguru Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) Ok i have been gone for a wile just working odd jobs and looking for a full time or part time spot someplace but im doing ok. That brings this project along i have been thinking about doing it for a wile and i have started getting the parts together i have the motor and i have the car and i have the harness the car was a big part for a wile i could not decide i wanted to do the RX sedan that car needs quite a bit of work and i have no money to move it at the time so im thinking the legacy but that makes it hard due to it being my DD so i thought i have my Gen 3 Brat project that lost rev. in the tranny and has been parked and donating parts to keep other cars on the road. Now most of you know the car im talking about Bill omlin did the body work and the bumper and a few other things here is a pic of before and after kinda its not done. This is it now only imagin it in a pasture with dirt all over it and no motor. Now this car was a 2wd auto coupe i put a 5 speed and made it awd with wagon parts i had also swapped in a 2.2 duel port exhaust engine out of a 95 impreza with a legacy intake diamond coil pack and JDM injecters really sweet engine it seems to have some good power. This is what i am going to be puting in it I am going to remove the dash and reloom the harness with the harness for this engine and try to make it look like it should be there lol. But we will see so i guess this will be the build thread. I am not going to use an adapter plate i'm going to be using a transmission i built with a EJ tranny and EA tranny i used the EJ case front half with ea82 3.7 S/R internals and tail shaft so i have 3.7 gears in an ej case so i wont need the adapter plate or flywheel so i can use a better clutch and pressure plate and with the ea tail shaft I am eliminating the V/C and giving me the option of FWD OR true 4WD. I will have pics of that later. That is all for now. Thanks Rob. Edited October 21, 2010 by subaruguru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob Well i can only get down to Bills every once in a while, and only for a few hours in the evenings, so its a slow goin process.

subaruguru Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 As much as i hate to see a subi go to the crusher this one has lived its life to the end of the line and a good sum of its parts will be on the road both here in the us and in Europe thanks to a few members on here. her last moments where noble as she fought back but in the end she made it on the truck. May you rest in peace XT6. Cheers :-\ R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joostvdw Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 It's sad to see an XT go like that, especially since so very few made it over here But it's good to know that a small piece (or 2 actually) will live on halfway across the globe Btw, I also have 2 bikes and a moped What are your plans for the radiator? I once saw an EG33 equipped brat which had the grill moved forward about the depth of the front bumper so there was room for a custom alu rad but that'll cost you some serious money..

subaruguru Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 the Rad is gong in the bed with a ducting setup and copper pipe running along the frame rails under the car. It will be a nice setup cheers R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
