Only needs new shifter bushings and that's it. Last fluid change was with factory Subaru Extra-S 75-90 gear oil and the fluid that came out looked good, no chunks or shavings. It only has 142,000 on it Keep an eye out for my for sale after I get everything out of the car.Just waiting to get the harness back and I should be ready to start swapping. I'll try and take as many pics as I can along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatswhatshesaid Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I've always dreamed of doing something like this to a lightweight EA body. I can't wait to see the results! Good work, man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I don't see an EA series radiator on their site, is that a GC unit? Have you had a chance to fit it up in the car yet? Such a pretty up-pipe doesn't deserve a JetHot turbine housing? Lookin' forward to seeing the build. Best of luck, Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turbo will be covered by a Cobb heatshield anyway LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firespray401 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'm exciting to see how this swap goes for you! I too plan on doing an upgrade like this in the near future. First thing first is I need to find the vehicle to upgrade! Best of luck with the swap, it is going to be so awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
