1982gl4 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Looking good! I felt so accomplished when I got got all the five lug parts swapped onto mine. This is going to be outrageous with that 3.3 in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruguru Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) It's great i love the way it all fit together only had to drill two holes and swap over the raidius rod from the ea parts. If you are wanting to do a 5 lug swap and you can get the subframes i strongly suggest it. Seriously if i had started this at about 9am on sat it would have been done that night. I really cant wait to have this driving already but that is about a month or two out haha.

Numbchux Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 alright, I'll say what I've been thinking the whole time. Cinder blocks...safety last, huh. Also, I'm glad to hear you only had to drill 2 holes to swap the XT6 crossmember. that must be a lot simpler than drilling 2 holes to use the EA82 crossmember and just the XT6 control arms.

subaruguru Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 It was just as easy i just didn't want to take everything apart and put it all back together piece by piece haha. And on the cinder block comment they worked yes it was not the safest way but it was the way i could afford 12 bucks for 8 blocks is better than 40 for 2 jack stands. (at the time) Thanks for the input guys i want to hear all your thoughts on this swap good or bad. Cheers R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Welp, this puts any swaps I've done to shame :-p Lookin' good Robbie. Hope to see you burn some rubber and tear up the mud pit at WCSS Twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be glad that neither you nor your friend were squashed... This time. $12 for a closed casket, or jack stands. I know you can find them cheaper, Craigslist, garage sales, estate sales.

subaruguru Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Had them and they fit with no problems i like how they look so i think i'm going to run them untell i can find a set of wheels i like better. They are a little big 225/35Z/R20 might keep them black might change it but the chrome was just way way to much. Bring on the DUB jokes... Cheers R.

subynut Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 That's interesting, you have more room side to side with the EG33 than I did when I tried to fit the EZ30R in the Panda Wagon. The wheels are a bit big for my taste, but to each his own. Your project is coming along quite nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
